Second part of a consolidated pack. New updates will follow, if there is an interest.

You may install the pack after WinSPWW2 version 8.1 to make sure you have all the pictures.

I am interested but I'd like to see some previews of it in action or examples before I commit to a mod

I won't make screenshots, but the pictures look like on my page http://derela.republika.pl/colorp1.htm . You can download the pack and preview them with any picture browser recognizing lbm files.

The pictures should be copied into ...\WinSPWW2\Game Data\Pictures folder - it is recommended to create a backup copy of the folder first, if you want to return to black & white photos. Then, you can simply swap folders' names.

I may add there is currently 2540 pictures, minus a couple of alternatives.

Hrm. While I admire the work you've done with these I rather like the more characterful photos the infantry currently get (as opposed to just a color drawing of their weapon), especially in the German and Russian ORBATs. I'll have to give it a miss but thank you for your reply.

I didn't assign pictures to regular infantry - only snipers, machine gun teams, AT teams and mortars. If you like the rest, you can delete the weapons manually before copying to Pictures folder, but I don't insist

An update is expected in a week or two...
