"Tall Paul's" U.S. Army/U.S.Army Air Force units, painted by WARMACHINE Team

Rorschach,

As far as individual unit insignia:

In general, I agree with you concerning individual “shoulder patches” painted as National Insignia on the Infantry bases. I am only using “shoulder patches” for unit insignia for the “SPECIAL FORCES” type units such as the Marine Raiders, ParaMarines, and Army Paratroop Divisions. These Special Forces type units, possibly the Regular Marines, too, will be a different TYPE(s) of unit, with different A/D/M/C factors. And, as “Special Forces”, their numbers will be limited. I’m only having four of each type done.

I may later make some Army Rangers if I feel there is a use for them in our present or FUTURE game(s).

I did have the Marine “Globe and Anchor” painted on the 20-Marines, though. I not only wanted to differentiate Army soldiers from Marine grunts, but also chose to have the Marines dominate in the Pacific and the Army dominate in Europe as in the real WW2.

I did somewhat the same thing as the Marine/Army paint distinctions with my
British-Europe(London) and my British-Pacific(Calcutta) Infantry units. I had the Calcutta-based Infantry painted with “Union Jacks” on their bases,…thus my nickname for them,…“Jacks”. If you like I can post some pics.

As far as the Marine Raiders, ParaMarines, and Army Paratroopers there are SO FEW of them I felt I could provide individual unit identities.

Don’t you feel this is a LOGICAL enough viewpoint?

What do YA’LL think?

And in answer to a comment, here are the graphics for my ParaMarine Raiders.

And the ParaMarine Raiders themselves, also known as “Chutes” front side.

Lozmoid,

Thanks for the compliment. I can’t wait to get Paratroopers from all of the countries done so we can use them in our NEW games. We might even be able to add them to our standard Global-1940 games. I can forsee the possible upheaval this might bring, though.

I liked IL’s opinions on Air Transport(non-combat), and Paratrooper(combat) usage in games:

Air Transport up to TWO Infantry only between airbases you(or your allies) already have at the start of your turn.

Paratroop drop ONE trooper up to two spaces behind enemy lines(within range constrictions).

I believe that Paratroop drops must also have provisions for rules concerning Fighter escort that are simple and fast.

IL,

Thanks for your moving this thread to the “customizations” area.

Everyone,

As I haven’t had time to take additional pics I’ll just start by posting some that Wil and Lucas have taken. I hope you enjoy them.
Here’s the Army Sherman medium tanks.
