NEW VERSION IN POST LATER IN THIS TOPIC.

Gents,

I have changed all the Infantry XML files to show full infanty squads (10 soldiers) and teams (2-3 soldiers).

Istallation.
1.Extract the infamtry_modded_xml directory to the <game directory>\data\infantry folder
2.Save the original xml files for safety.
3. copy the modded xml files into <game directory>\data\infantry folder

Do not forget to turn limit infantry option OFF!

Enjoy :) .

How is damage factored on the 10-men teams ? I mean how many figures are removed for each loss step ?

This is one of the best things about the game. I knew once some talented modders jumped onboard this thing is going to blow up. I just wish I had some talent or the time to do some modeling. Keep em' coming guys.

I did a quick test loading "HSG Contact at Lipki 4040", on my system the difference between 10 men and 3 men (limit infantry option) is 5-7 fps.

The German infantry was redone and improved in the update and the xmls point to new folders. Using this mod will point to the old folders and you will see the old graphics.
