There is one thing I cannot do- or have not tried. Adding picks. Cause the "Archer" SP Gun is not included in any OB yet I cannot steal its pic and use for the expected arrival of that splendid Weapons System. In that respect I am probably too dense to even follow instructions (cause it includes modifying pics before adding right?). So there is a task for you. But then, it should be in the Swedish OOB anyway. I have also had to improvise and use the nearest approximate for the Eagle IV and GD G270 (Eagle I and German Wolf Utility Vehicle respectively). The GD G270's LSW is also mounted facing rearwards; how to model that?

Archer as in modern SP arty? - see Swedish unit #416 BW L52 Archer.

(There is also the WW2 archer SP-AT, in Jordan OOB amongst others)

Cheers

I've already put the Archer SP arty into the Danish OOB for 2013. If you have a better date let me know. I've put in a new Archer pic as well

I may not have the latest version of the game ATM. How do I transfer my modded OoBs to a new version? I am not too keen on starting all over.

Thanks for your responsiveness.

Thanks for your responsiveness.

Manually re-editing is likely to be your only solution. Especially if 'your' units, weapons and formations were overwrites of the existing line items in the OOB rather than new stuff placed in free lines, leaving the stock lines unchanged.

Or, you can simply ignore the updates and continue to develop your own OOB as a stand-alone development thread of its own (using the OOB swapper utility of course if playing PBEM). In that case, you may want to check whatever was done in the new stock OOB, perhaps.

If you wrote a new AI pick list then you are of course completely on your own. (This may not matter if your new OOB is for human only usage).

Maintenance of any third party edited OOBs is in any case entirely up to that person, not us.

cheers

Hey Andy, you are fast as usual.

I have largely put in new lines to remedy the various holes in the Danish OoB, but I believe that there are a few where I have corrected mistakes as well. I cannot recall. And I am too inept to do more than that, but that I can and has done. How much of my numerous quibbles did you include?

And, correct me if I am wrong, if I want the various new units you guys have added, the Archer for example, I have to update to next version and redo manually?

Again, thanks for being responsive to quibbles.

The only answer would be - look at the new release whenever it arrives, and see what needs doing.

My 3 cents:

008 M4A3-E4 Sherman - according to US naming, M4A3E4

009 Humber Scout - better quality picture is 23592. It might be worth considering to create new icon - current is Daimler Scout Car (Humber had closed, asymetrical roof). Same for unit 213

(BTW: is there a way to see icons apart from Mobhack?)

110 Bell 47D - correct pic is 9006 (current is Alouette). It should have rather carry=2.

111 Agusta 47J - correct pic is 34902 (current is Alouette). It should have rather carry=3.

I have now upgraded and to my satisfaction I notice that you have listened to my various quibbles. Thanks.

There are some still though at first sight.

-All Danes in Afghanistan are equipped with NV & PRR, I do not know about the radio rating of the PRR, but should they not all have either 30 or 40 in Vision? I have created a variant of standard Danish units to reflect it called "DANCON XXXX" (XXXX being the Engineer, Scout, Inf, mmg, Etc.) and at a highr price.
-The m95 Rifle is being phased out and exchanged with the better m08, beginning with parts of the DANCON in 2008. Then more and more. I think I saw on the Army's # at Youtube that even more will get it next year.
-Danish snipers use the Sako TRG-42 .338 Lapua Magnum, the Jægers use the H&K MSG90, Sako TRG-42 .338 Lapua Magnum or the AW50 as they please.
-Some Danish Engineers have m82 AntiMaterial Rifles for detonating Mines.
-The CV9035 IKK is an IFV (IKK = IFV), I see it only as a support unit in game while the mentioned Life Guard unit and apparently their equivalent in the Guards Hussars (the guys in Armadillo drive them), uses them as APCs.
-The squads of the mentioned units have been changed to 6-man size to enable the CV9035 to carry them. It might be 7, I will have to look into it a bit more.

All this is not reflected in the game (yet), I will look if there is more.

Apart from that I am pleased to see you listening to helpfull corrections.

Thanks.

I'll add this to the list and look at it when or if I get to it before March

Thanks Don, GJ you guys are doing.

I also believe that the forces of the LOPESKs, should have a morale modifier as they are all well-motivated professional soldiers. Possibly all DANCON , a 3 or so.
