Flag Mod

[void1984]

Right. Japanese and Polish flags are naval ensigns.
I've been explained that for Poland it's to make the difference between original polish forces and their soviet counterpart.

I am working on a second version of this mod at the moment. I made an alternate German flag as well as the Japanese army flag.

I am also working on replacing the battle type switch with the old Steel Panthers lever. I was thinking of making another version of it but I'll see what you think first.

I am working on alternative pictures for the game options screens. I don't know about you but I like a little change every now and again. I intend to build US, German, Soviet and Japanese army picture sets.

This mod looks great. Good job Manteuffel.

FTR: I only gave limited technical assistance. I'm seeing the flags for the first time, so I've no vested interest in the flag design.

Poland's Flag
AFAIK the Polish flag with shield is the government's flag in exile, not a naval flag. This was discussed here:

Japanese (centred sun) and German Flag
The modded flags are army flags.

SP normally uses national flags (USMC excepted), probably because quick and easy recognition is a high priority.

Some may think it incongruous to have some army flags and some national flags, but that's why this is a mod, it's whatever you'd like to see on the battlefield. And certainly the troops themselves often used a variety of flags.

The British Army flag (red with two crossed gold swords) was rarely used on the battlefield. Perhaps that's why I personally prefer the traditional Union Jack.
