JonS Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) I'm really pleased you're all looking forward to it. I'm sure you'll find lots to enjoy - two of the maps I am REALLY pleased with. ETA? Ah ... when it's done? Heh. Seriously, though, I'm not completely sure when you'll be able to get your hands on it, but I'm hoping soon (as in; weeks, not months). Most of the design work is done, but there's a bit of testing yet to go. Edited July 22, 2015 by JonS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borg Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 JonS - do you exclude some scenarios (or better still a campaign !) utilizing the 101st and/or 82nd airborne deep behind enemy lines ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Any idea on price range? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Placebo Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Will the campaign battles also be available to play seperately, or are they locked into the campaign structure? P.S. this is a great way of extending the life of the older games, so I hope more will follow if take up is good enough.

I sort-of agree with you about extending life, but campaign scenarios are unusual in that they are designed from the outset to only ever be played one way - i.e. one side against the AI. That has lots of implications for the way they're designed and built. Price hasn't been finalised, but I think you'll find it quite reasonable.

Bud Backer Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Yes, Mark E has QB-ified some of the maps, and they'll be included in the pack. That's smashing! I really love QB maps so the more the merrier, especially what I've seen of your work, Jon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizou Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 JonS, Can you give use any detail as to how the battle pack will work for people with different content? Will you need all modules and vp to play all scenarios or just CW? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) Part of the point of the BP is that the designer not be constrained to only vehicles and units from the base game plus the current module. That is certainly do-able, as we know, but can be a bit limiting. With that in mind, and without trawling through piles of notes; some of the BP scenarios require both modules and the VP. The rest require one or more of the three. None of the scenarios will work if all you have is the base game. To make use of all the scenarios in the BP you'll need both modules and the VP. Or, to put that another way; the BP will allow you to use the vehicles and units you already have from the two modules and the VP in all-new scenarios!

I for one am happy that all available content will be used in the BP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
