It replaces the Smokeless powder upgrade, and a really pointless weapon, of which only 12,500 were made in the entire war.

You can get it from here"

My Forge of Freedom Mod Page

Beware, it's 5+ MB.

Status: offline 		I did just the basics of putting together the art and writeups; and testing it to see if it shows up in game - haven't had a chance to really massacre people with it...yet

By the way; is it possible to make it so that if you place items like:

ACWUpgrades.txt
Guns.txt

or

Guns.pcx
UpgradeTiles.pcx

in Scenario Folders; the game engine will load them?

So you could simply make a scenario like:

Scenarios\Guns_of_the_South_s

and it would automatically load the modded files, while leaving the original install intact?

Status: offline 		I guess I read Guns of the South to many times. I had to try it. The first thing I did was make an Original and a Guns of the South Folder in the games' Data and GFX Folders so I could switch back and forth without reinstalling the original.

I did not put the pspbrwse (JBF File) in the Gfx folder itself. It hasn't caused any problems.

One thing I noticed, was that the Smokeless cartridge upgrade was available as well as the AK-47 after the arrival of the Time Tavelling Afrikaaners.

I have to work to keep them supplied and found the best range for my AK-47 equipped (Dragoon Tactics) Cavalry is 3 or 4.

It has been an enjoyable diversion but I think I will go back to the Original.

If you're really dedicated, you'll create animation graphics to show what the machine guns must look like as they're firing...
