    Spanish Civil War (SCW) update

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    CMAK terrain is definitely more close to the real terrain, a semi-arid area with patches of mediterranean woods, olives and vineyards. Vineyards are very common in the area. To sum up, I think CMAK brings a look&feel more appropiate for most of Spain. The north is quite different, however.

    By the way, a beta tester found Quatre Camins easy so I recommend you to give the AI some advantage.

    oh yes,

    I missed to mention important things in the first upload of the scenario, and I couldn't edit it so I uploaded it again, but I was in a hurry and I made some mistakes in the scenario specification. Anyway, both versions contain the same version of the operation. You can obtain more information and view some maps about the operation here:

    I hope you like it, ;) I made a great effort to obtain a very realistic map. I really got much fun playing it, though I've made some changes, so I don't know whether it is balanced now or not.

    Yes, I mean in the Quinto de Ebro operation, I've forgotten to mention it. I can't believe a Spaniard gave you such a term, unless he was pulling your leg ;) . "Plaza de toros" is the common term in Spanish for bullring, just try to find "Anillo de toros" in google and then "Plaza de toros" :D . I'll try that operation when I had some free time, I'm so busy testing my own scenarios and operations...

    Finally if any of you have resources for SCW battles, information, OOBs and maps in particular - please let me know! My Spanish is limited so materials in that language are particularly sought.

    If you like, we can cooperate to build an scenario. I have the materials required to build maps located in the area where the Ebro battle took place. So, if you are interested in some operation in the area, please let me know and I'll be pleased to help. We can cooperate to make the scenario togheter, for example, I can build the map and you can build the OOB and the operation briefing.

    Update, Collision and Malaga were completed while Sesena was never able to be completed - it wasn't possible for the AI to do what I needed it to do!.

    Ohhhh, after reading the article on soviet tank operations in Spain, by Steven J. Zaloga, I started thinking about an scenario covering that action, then I saw you were working on it. I'm sorry you can't complete it due to AI unappropiate behavior.

    Both redirect me to a free hosting sign up page.

    The links are right, really, but very offten when you try to access the file from the scenario depot, you get that hosting page, probably because the response time for my site si too slow. So, you can try this link

    Hi,

    here it comes, my first scenario on the SCW

    A nationalist assault against republican fortified positions near Villalba dels Arcs, during the third counter-attack of the nationalist during the battle of the Ebro river. August 19, 1938.

    http://academycm.mybesthost.com/escenarios/downloads/SCW%20Quatre%20Camins.cme

    This is a beta version of the first scenario I decide to share with the community, suggestions and comments are welcome. smile.gif

    Magomar, that is truly stunning!

    Where may I find this campaign?

    I'm currently developing some example scenarios and gathering information to organize the campaign. My willing is to use the CMMC meta-campaign rules, but in my Spanish CM-community there are a lot of people with little or no knowledge of English, so it can be hard work to translate the CMMC rules. Furthermore, there are few people interested in the SCW :( , so I'm not sure whether to go on with my project or not.

    I'll keep you informed.

    Hi, my original idea was to develop maps sizing 2x2Km for the campaing, but I will reduce those maps to build some scenarios. I think a medium battle that could fit your requirements is the Cuatro Caminos scenario, a Nationalist assault with 1 batallion and some tanks.

    The scenarios are not finished yet, since I've been rather experimenting. Now, I think my mapping skills are mature enough, so I'm planning to publish a collection of scenarios and operations very soon. I'll inform you, and the briefings will be both in English and Spanish

    Hi,

    Some months ago I begun reading some books concerning SCW military campaigns such as Madrid and the Battle of the Ebro (Batalla del Ebro).

    I got so impressed that I decided to consider the feasibility of a multiplayer campaign dealing with Battle of the Ebro. First of all, I studied whether could I develop realistic maps. After initial frustrations for the enourmous task I was dealing with, I've developed a methodlogy that allows the creation of very realistic maps with low effort.

    I've developed a tutorial on this methodology, but it is only in Spanish, currently. Nevertheless, you could probably get an overall idea of what I'm doing by looking at it, since there are tons of images ilustrating the methodology.

    The url is http://academycm.mybesthost.com/maps-tutorial/

    you can see some screenshots of the resulting maps here http://academycm.mybesthost.com/maps-tutorial/screenshots.htm

    http://academycm.mybesthost.com/maps-tutorial/screenshots2.htm

    http://academycm.mybesthost.com/maps-tutorial/screenshots3.htm

    The first scenarios are not very detailed, but the last scenarios I'm developing are quite detailed, I think. I'm using topographic maps as well as orthophotographs

    I was waiting to announce that activities here, but Propugnator, from the Punta de Lanza spanish CM-community, told me about somebody looking for maps or help to build maps on the SCW topic. So I've decided to make you, and the other people following that topic, aware of my work.

    I'd be please to begin a fruitful collaboration with anybody interested on the SCW, and very particularly in the "Batalla del Ebro" campaing

    Nice to meet you smile.gif
