Very nice.In my view the HQ tent and the garrison Building need to be a bit smaller.

I just loaded them up and the HQ sprite is broke.

Thanks ash,
I put the HQ one in the wrong spot, Fixed in the zip now.

Also here's just the HQ file it goes in gfx/map/units/bmp/ if you dont want to download the whole thing:

They look really good! Finally one can see the difference between the "movable" divisions and the garrison.

Put a few sprites together a while back for player who wanted a little more diversity while playing Germany. Here's a zip package ready to install for HOI2 or Doomsday.

A couple images to show how they look:

motorized inf
mechanized inf
Panzer light
Panzer medium
garrison inf
HQ inf

Fairly basic and the motor/mech I just used the 'move' animation from the HOI 1 graphics.

Once of these days I'll put the time aside and polish these up with some cool firing animations ... someday Or maybe somebody else who has time can do it.

Readme inside tells where to put the files, backup your gfx folder before adding these in case you dont like em.

Yxan, it does kind of take a while to make sprites. Shouldn't you be happy? Well done! These sprites are excellent and they make a change from the axis tank with blocky turret and the mechanized infantry with no halftracks


No offence to paradox though, please.

Thanks guys,
Got an updated version be done in a couple days. Added some basic firing animations for the tanks and tweeked the positioning for the motor/mech to fit better (they were to low and to far right) .. and also moved the tanks up a little closer to their flags so they take up a bit less room.

Will also add a little dust to the tracks as a moving animation - wont be nothing to fancy but enough to see when its moving a bit better.

Couple days and I'll get the changes added and uploaded.

Did some more work (not uploaded yet).

Reduced the size of the garrison and HQ a little ... also made a HQ and garrison for all major country + minor. And added in a little shadow for the HQ.

Any other requests before Im done? (eg minor stuff or changes)

Thinking of making a change to the default infantry sprite to take the place of militia ... maybe take one of the guys out so that militia sprite has 2 men instead of 3. Just to give it a little to differentiate it from reg infantry.

Good idea and maybe you can change the sprites of cavalry to?

Been playing with it some and I think I'll go the opposite way ... add some more men to the basic infantry model giving it a squad of 5 when standing, looks a little better that way.

I think I have a cav sprite from the HOI1 pack by someone else, I can include that one in with this general pack if ya like.
