How do,

The British 2nd army are here to kick the Axis outta Caen for good.

Two versions of this pack have been released, one with the sarge wearing a helmet and one with him wearing a officers cap.

This was originally made for the lads in the 2nd Army but I thought I might as well release it to everyone.

Full credits included in the .zip

*Thanks to [Br.2nd]Beare for reskinning the 2nd army patch*

For those of you who want a really historical feel i suggest you get the 12th SS player pack to accompany these models as they were the Axis forces defeated by the 2nd Army at Caen (12th SS also available at www.dodsupply.co.uk (http://www.dodsupply.co.uk) )

So what are you waiting for? Download them now and fight for King and Country!

Hurrah!!!

Cheers mate, hope you and your squad like using them.

Sorry I couldn't release the sprites and VGUIs at the same time but I'm having a minor problem with them.

Should be fixed by tomorrow.

*Heads butts desk*

Sorry lads, me being the complete moron I am have put the bloody 2nd Army stripe on back to front so the writing is backwards lol

Beare has just brought this issuse to my attention and being the jolly good chap he is has kindly prepared a 'fix' skin for it. Simply download the '2nd_army_fix' zip from the page as the packs and use HLMV to import the new fixed skins over my botched ones lol

Sorry for the inconvience,

cheers beare, saved my ass!

God this has to be the worst put together pack I'm made yet.

Not only did i put the tags on backwards but I also got the credits wrong, heres the updated credits:

Model:
Body - DoD team
heads - Klown
hands - Devin Kryss
Badges & hat - Ska Wars

Skin:
Body: DoD team
heads: Trp. Jed
hands: Devin Kryss
Badge: [Br.2nd]Beare
Hat: Ska Wars (ripped from A bridge too Far btw lol)

Sorry for the huge amount of confusion I have no doubt caused already, and I apoligise for any offence I have cause by buggering the credits up.

You better like these now or I will have to beat someone to death! :mad: lol

You know, when oh when do you get close enough to a guy to have some time to look at his badges. Either way, we know what army they're with! I'm just going to use these, they look fine! Good job.

yeah but I'm a perfectionist lol

Anyway, hope you all enjoy using them, feel free to reskin them or edit them to represent whatever unit you want.

And any of our canadians cousins out there, feel free to change these to represent unirs from your country too.

I would appreciate it if who ever ran that site would add these too.

They look really good Ska. My only question is about the rank insignia. Should it be up on the shoulder like that? I only speak with the knowledge of Canadian insignia and could be very wrong...

Ska Wars

On british units the rank insignia is usually half way up the upper arm. However, i moved the rank up because if as the model performed certain actions the cheverons would shift a bit and almost end up at his elbow. AsI said, feel free to customise as your please, if you wanna move them down or whatever feel free.

I would if I knew anything about modelling :rolleyes:

I actually just PM'd you a question about that... :D

Check your PM arsenal.

Well by looking at the download counter things it seems most prefer the helmet on the sarge rather than the cap lol

Anyone notice the really skin I used for the cap? lol I can't skin anything half decent so it was the only thing I could find that looked good, god bless Edward Fox lol

I'll download the new SS in a minute and have a wod with the dodsupply.co.uk leader and see about hosting them.

BTW if anyone wants any of their work hosting e-mail me or any of the other dodsupply staff or go to the site and drop us a line in one of the forms.

i LOVE this pack, thank you so much SKA ^^ there's only one tiny little nit picky problem I have with it. When the models are prone they kinda look down at the ground...which bugs me. It doesn't really matter, just pointing it out. I LOVE YOU ANYWAY *snuggles with british models* "Allo Lads" =P

Ska Wars
05-29-2003, 11:21 AM
Yeah sory about that, i only noticed this problem after release.

I'll probally be making a version 2 of these with better equipment, better skins and better guns. hopefully all the problems/bugs will be fixed in that version. Jus watch this space lol

Check at the forms www.dodsupply.co.uk for news about that as it develops.
