Yep! There is an order that you have to stick to. First load up the infantry squads and then load up the support weapons. Which Coys. did you have problems with in particular out of interest? Can you give me a number and designation? Maybe there might be a problem there.

The ones I was toying around with were formations 520 SS-GrenKp. (B/-) and 530 SS-PioKmp (B/-) Everything mostly fits into the IFV's but sometimes the specific order you load the support weapons in seems finicky. I eventually figured out how to squeeze it all together. I've had no problems with the mountain companies or motorized Panzergrenadiers because their trucks have much larger carry capacities so their weapon platoons don't need a specific load order.

I'd like that very much Scorpio. I'll get back to you on that. Just tested a platoon of Kaisertigers - suppt. by Pz IV Js (a Plt. of five) against a few armoured Coys. of Soviets. Slaughter!

Say, did you guys get the latest update that I pm'ed you guys with? How did you like the new flags? How is the readme now? Easy to follow?

Sorry mate - Yes got the update, Love the Afrika Korps flag!

I will get more time to play a couple of full games tomorrow so hopefully will have some feed back thursday night / friday morning.

Just got it, Monty! Looks great, much less confusing now

I'll try to give you more feedback soon, school's just got me over a barrel lately.

BETA TEST

Had a closer look at the readme and went over all the updates in detail. Its much improved and easier to understand now, thank you. I have noticed a slight issue with some of the helicopter sprites while playing around with OOB 44 in mobhack:

Sprites 6264 - 6266 - 6265 for unit 729 (Do. H34 TTH-55) seems to have parallel lines running through the sides of its hull, like the pixels are missing. These do not appear to be on the gunship version of the H34, so I wanted to make sure this wasn't an error? It appears in the normal, winter and desert icons each.

Also, was unit 734 supposed to have a designation beyond TTH-95? It seems a bit out of place; for the moment I designed it Do. 310 as the "successor" to the 214 as that was kind of annoying me. Please let me know if you had intended an actual designation for it!

One thing that really strikes me about your release is how relatively few bugs I'm finding. Errors and things here and there, sure, but far less than I'd expected for the amount of work put into it. You really are fastidious.

@ Wiking:

"Had a closer look at the readme and went over all the updates in detail. Its much improved and easier to understand now..."

Great!

"Sprites 6264 - 6266 - 6265 for unit 729 (Do. H34 TTH-55) seems to have parallel lines running through the sides of its hull, like the pixels are missing."

Not much I can do about that I'm afraid. It shows up correctly in the game but for some curious reason it doesn't in Mobhack. Same goes for the bombers with the black lines as far as I can tell.

"Also, was unit 734 supposed to have a designation beyond TTH-95?"

I'll look into that. Must be a loose end. Although I do dimly remember not being able to figure out who was behind the real world contract. Probably EADS or Eurocopter.

"One thing that really strikes me about your release is how relatively few bugs I'm finding. Errors and things here and there, sure, but far less than I'd expected for the amount of work put into it. You really are fastidious."

Thanks! This project was (still is) my "baby" for a good number of years. Sunk a lot of hours into it. To hear praise like that from members of the community is the reward

I'll use the flags to differentiate between the two OOBs. There are already a lot of acronyms in the OOBs themselves and it would be a shame to have an acronym for a name.

"DASA TTH-95" is the best I could come up with. I had to go back in the producers history a bit.
