Oriskany's Final Days of the Great War - Australians + British tanks vs. Germans at Hamel
Part One - Starting the Rifle Section Counter Build
Time to build these units in PS 14. First some quick research just so I can include some “historically approximate” unit identification in the units, approximate so they don’t become too specialized and I can only use the counters in a small number of games and scenarios.
First, find the badge for the Royal Ulster Rifles. Hard-core historians will note that most of these regiments were actually disbanded in February / March 1918, when 36th Ulster was reorganized after their terrible losses of Flanders / Passchendaele 1916-1917. Some were sent back to reserve brigades in Britain. Others were folded into the remaining battalions.
Complete the badge, using some simple Photoshop.
Here's the existing Commonwealth template counter for a full rifle squad (here set up for Australians). I'm not a fan of the front figure, I'm going to change it out.
Found a new figure that will work better for the front figure.
Start work on the new counter template. Remove the first figure. Put in some of the new markings and unit combat data. Note I'm keeping these Ulstermen as "elite" because ... well ... just because. Meanwhile, preparing the new kneeling figure to import into the composite counter.
