A problem:

Hey all, let me start by saying THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE RACIST.

I have two addons, the Irish Rangers, and the WWII Americans, and I always have this one black soldier, and I don't know how to get rid of him. Any idea how? It's just not accurate.

Easy.  On that unit in his init line type something like:

this setface "face14";

Just don't use "face33" or "face49" cuz those two are black faces.    But yeah, no worries, it's not racist.  I have the same problem on WWII missions using WWII addons.  I have a Omaha Beach Normandy invasion mission where I had to remove the black soldiers because historically at that time black soldiers were not integrated fully into the Army and certainly not with the Army Rangers, although the 761st tank battalion did land on Normandy but as an all-black unit.

However...hmm...that gives me an idea.  It might be cool to make a WWII OFP mission based on the all-black units that actually exhisted in WWII.  I should do a mission based on the exploits of the 761st Tank battallion now that we have Sherman and Stewart tanks in OFP.  For more info on the 761st go to:

It's a very interesting read.

It might be fun to do a mission based on the elite Japanese-American commando units of the 100th battalion and the 442nd Regimental Combat Team.  These units earned the most medals of any unit in WWII of comparable size including 21 medal of honor awards. The 442nd, for its size and time in combat (less than two years), is the most decorated unit in U.S. military history according to this official DoD site:

Anyhoo...those ideas might be fun to do for any WWII buffs looking for a unique type of mission or campaign.

i had this problem too.

i was making a screen for school. we had to draw a scene from "der hauptmann von köpenick", a play settled in germany around 1900. i decided to make a OFP screenshot

i needed some soldiers marching through the streets. i took some WW2 units and made a screen. when i was at school the next day, i've spottet a black soldier between the others!

i couldn't stop laughing for two hours
