    Spanish Civil War?

    in Strategic Command 2 Scenario and Mods Forum

    Posted

    Well, I've just downloaded the WaW expansion and the new patch and have already taken a peek at the SCW scenario. Looks great!

    Bill, I love those improvised monsters as well.

    Luckily there are quite a few availabble in 28mm (1/56th scale) as well, otherwise I would probably have turned to 20mm as you did.

    So far I got the Bilbao armoured car, two different UML-35s, armoured lorry #2 and #10, two PzKfw Is (one with a 20mm cannon) a Chevrolet M37

    four T-26 tanks, a BT-5 tank, two BA-6 armoured cars, a beautiful Somua armoured naval car and two or three FT-17s. Some small CV-33 tankettes are on the way.

    Real stroke of luck last week when I managed to buy a long OOP secondhand Schneider Ca-1 tank. The Ca-1 was used in Madrid in 1936 and of course also in the Riff wars, another one of my favourite periods, especially since I can use most of my Spanish Legion figures.

    Planes is another matter however. 1/72nd scale is really too small and suitable planes in 1/48th are far and few between.

    We (Tin Soldiers of Antwerp wargame club that is) are planning a Spanish Civil War demo at the Hamburg wargame event in March. If at all possible I'll post either some pictures or a link to our website here.

    Happy New Year!

    So Bill , we're both miniature wargamers I guess?

    Doing the SCW in 28mm, using mostly Anglian and Force Of Arm miniatures.

    Just managed to get hold of an old OOP HLBSC Schneider Ca-1 tank. Needs a lot of work but well worth it.

    @ Philippe,

    So if I understood correctly SC Blitzkrieg and WAW are two totally different engines?

    Really love the new Global campaign for SC2 so I'm a bit reluctant to give it up now.

    I suppose the SC2 editor also doesn't work with WaW?

    Hubert,

    You have a winner here without a doubt!

    Sc is one of the best strategic games I've played for several years? Easy to get into yet deceptively simple.

    A more "advanced" editor would be very much appreciated, but again you're right in saying that

    you shouldn't be able to unbalance the play.

    Often heard is the lack of Hq's for the minor allies. If ALL of the minors had at least one it would IMHO only add flexibility.Correct?

    Being able to add one or two units to the minors would greatly enhance the game.Again imho Finland needs an airforce.There weren't all that many Finnish planes but they did really well against the Sovjets as far as I can tell. Now there's probably dozens of people who think that I'm wrong here so adding this feature to an editor seems ideal. You can take it or leave as you will and best of all, deal with the consequences.

    Controling the probability of the minors joining the Axis or Allied camp is another feature much demanded. Whilst this could seriously unbalance things it is would also give the gave immensely more depth.

    Worth considering Hubert?

    Miracles DO happen!!!!

    Whilst I wrote my lament yesterday the game had already arrived. I have two letterboxes, one especially for parcels the other a regular one. Guess which one Pat The Postman used to squeeze in the game?

    Anyway it's on my harddrive now, I've downloaded the latest patch and after checking out some of the users' mods I'm off to conquer the world.

    Thanks for the support guys!

    BTW Aloid would the reverse also work? Wife in the safe well away from the game?
