Quick Pic of my RV mod

I still have about 70 faces to tidy up around the edges. It will be released in a mod package that i think works together. I will be using new counters the same size as the Iron X ones. The package will be a mix of other mods some of which are tweaked or combined, all credits will be given.

After this I shall do AotR and if there is a want for other games I will do them aswell.

I have had to use three images twice, I was at a loss to who the winter units where as they seem to be used buy the SS and I have a feeling other Axis units in the winter, I hope it's only Axis units anyway otherwise I'd have to redo them or just leave the originals, funny enough it was hard to find enough image sin winter clothing, hence using the same two twice. Also I used a Russian soldier image twice once for the Russian units and once for the partisans, I just took his backpack off for the partisan image.

If some aren't exactly correct i.e there is a soldier in a tankers helmet etc then please use your imagination and pretend he is being used as an infantry man as his tank was disabled etc. Or if it appears they insignia are wrong or the uniform not correct for the particular unit then again I apologise. I collected hundreds of images and used the best ones I could.

The cossacks have had some issues during the modding process one lost his hat and another his face and beard and need fixing as you can see, I haven't found enough images to replace them but I shall have another look.

Both info and counter will have these images.

I only posted it so you get an impression on what I'm doing. I hope they are a slight improvement on the originals and if they are then the god knows how many hours I've spent so far have been worth it. I always wanted to do this mod for years now after seeing Bill's and Oz's AotR mod and using it. I found the art gave a personality to each unit in my imagination which I loved, one of my favourites in this mod is the German Home Defence man with the eye patch and metal teeth, looks a proper villain. I thought it would be a straight forward case of getting the images then reducing them for the counter sheet and most of the work would be finding the images. How wrong I was, I've had to go around every face and trim off the excess making sure I don't take to much away nor leave to much behind. After countless hours and still with about 70 faces left I now know all the ones I've finished in intimate detail!

Finally I ask you all not to use this image in game yet. It hasn't been finished for starters and certain things like the counter size needs to be increased and then changes made to the 2dSymbol bmp. Some faces may still change, especially the smaller ones I may make them a touch bigger or find another image to replace them two in particular I'm not 100% happy with a Russian in winter clothing and fur hat and a German further down in fur cap, both see a touch to small and though none are really in scale with each other and some are just as small those two seem to stand out, funny enough both a Dragon action figures! Maybe I'm to fussy, I've already changed about 8 faces so far.
