Excellent new batch of units and skins, Flak!! Thanks for sharing your hard work!

Hello Akkula!

Thank you so much Akkula and Guille my friends. You are my inspirational duo!
I have done up the excellent 4 (four) SdKfz 251A, 251B, 251C, 251D by PHCAS in a WINTER mode for those cold Russian winters.

And the SdKfz 251D with its winter tarp and camo. I can provide a link with the masks if anyone wants them:

Yes, I have a new group of units I have been working on so when I get them done, I will of course put them on the forum. I am so glad others like these units. I like the units to have "details" as much as possible without over doing it and to look sharp and crisp. So that is my little contribution which is impossible without the work of so many others to use and copy, tweak and modify.

Thanks as always, flak. The sdkfz 7s will work great! and the Hungarian units, especially the transports are a welcome addition as well and very nicely done. Looks like I'll be taking more time out of campaign building to add new units

Needles to say that I WILL GRAB those fantastic SdKfz 251!.
Impressive job (and unique) as always flak.
Keep it up!.

Best regards.

Hi guys........I discovered my first faux paus...............the HUNGARIAN KRUPP PROTZE units I made were not correct. I found out the Hungarians added some modifications to the units but mostly recognizable by the doors on the front cab.
I made new units, masks and did a new zip file in MediaFire with the link posted in the thread and put the new masked icon unit on the thread also. My apologies!

Here is a unit I have not seen in the game. I don't play much Afrika Corps stuff since I like the Eastern Front and Central Europe so much, but here is a "rare" unit in the game and it was in real life. It got destroyed in late 1941.
This is the "Max" version Rommel used when they captured the British AEC Dorchester command units in the British Army

My version is not perfect, but it is close I think.

I notice the Breda 61 Italian produced halftrack section on the thread did not get much notice and that is good because I discovered, with diligence, that the Breda 61 halftrack is NOT that unit I made. IT IS A FIAT SC727 HALFTRACK, also produced under German license. So I have update that section of the thread and the mediafire link zip files. Sorry about that folks.

These are not unit icons of course, but I found them on my computer in some old files. They were the tiles Chris10 made for his mod that was never completed. I was thinking that someone on the forum once asked about them or something like them, so I am putting them here for anyone who wants them. The images posted in the thread have been shrunk, the regular file tiles are in the Chris10 zip file at MediaFire.

Here is the Layer base Muddy image, again it is shrunk to put on the forum, full size images are in the Chris10 zip file link on MediaFire.

Wow, a lot of new stuff, thank you flak.
Very interesting and nice command unit for the Afrika Korps, congratulations!.

Awaiting for more surprises and new stuff

Best regards.
Akkula.

Hi Akkula, My main game computer's hard drive crashed, (it has three internal drives) but as soon as I get it back, I will see what is lost. I had a BIG group of trucks and other stuff made and saved on the desktop while I was working on them. I think most of them are from file folders I generated out of my main PZC drive that did not crash. So we shall see. I have not lost much other than what I had been working on the past month (I backed my computer monthly).

I had made several versions of the Matador command vehicle, Afrika and Europe versions, the one on the thread is just the Rommel version of "Max". We shall see if I lost them along with some other stuff. Glad you like the unit. I got into a "truck mood" and did a bunch of trucks and revamped several of the excellent trucks made by PHCAS. I also made a number of original trucks not in the game. I was "fine tuning" them when it crashed.

I have been at work a bit this weekend, got inspired by the Finns who are/were a really tough bunch of soldiers. I reworked three versions of the Finnish StugIIIG (schurtzen, no rear deck brackets or gear stowage). The same version will work for a German StugIIIG without Schurtzen. (I used Finnish references for the appearance and color of camouflage). Then I decided to make another version of the Finnish BT42. A neat looking tank (on the BT7), but I read they deployed 9 in the first engagement with T34's and lost eight of them. One BT42 bounced 18 hits off of a Soviet T34 at point blank range. Oh well

Here is a Mediafire Link for the Finnish Stugs and BT42:

Here are the plain versions (masks in the zip file) I changed the rear decks today 2/9/16 (for accuracy) and updated the download, camo models and these.

flakfernrohr · Post by **flakfernrohr** » Mon Feb 08, 2016 2:21 am

Then the BT42 (mask in the zip file)

Some more Finnish Stug IIIG versions with concrete armor and logs, etc. Also a couple for generic German concrete Stug IIIG
