I don't get involved in political debates. However, this is interesting so I will comment with complete neutrality. China's economy is booming, so it can naturally afford to spend more on defense. Despite what your opinion of U.S. defense policy is, other nations may see the U.S. as being a little threatening at this time, and so take steps to bolster their armed forces. This is the natural result of other nations feeling uneasy after witnessing a superpower projecting their political agenda, globally, with aggressive military actions and vigourous resolve. No doubt, China is concerned about the U.S., and especially so after it has clearly denounced North Korea as part of The Axis Of Evil. Hypothetically, if China had stated the same about Mexico, after an invasion and conquest of Vietnam, you may see it from a different perspective.

Thanks for this patch, to Hubert and all involved - a great update indeed! Regards, Steve

Excellent link for map icons - from ancient to modern all types: industry, installations, resources, etc. http://dir.coolclips.com/ Edit: sorry, didnt see the new thread on resources - posting there now.

Thanks Hubert - I got it! Replying.

Will do -thanks Hubert. Sending to info@furysoftware.com If this is something simple I've overlooked I'll kick myself!

Hi Hubert - no it seems to be all of them. I removed one file after the other and they failed. The format, naming and file placement seem to be in order but it wont accept them. I have a fairly good soundcard too so its not the hardware. I'm actually stumped as to what the problem is.

Great! Many thanks indeed Dude! BTW - what is the grid scale for lining these bitmaps up on the sprites file?

I'm being obvious here but just want to be sure I've not missed anything: C:\Program Files\Battlefront\Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg\Campaigns\_Modern\Sound campiagn.ini: #CUSTOM_BITMAPS= 1 #CUSTOM_INTERFACE= 1 #CUSTOM_SOUND= 1 #CUSTOM_LOCALIZATION= 1 Correct? Dude thanks- I'll be posting a scenario with all these sounds in. I only collected what I needed and you've probably got lots more than I have...

I'm making a modern-day custom sound collection and have 70% done, however, on testing I'm getting this crash: The sound files are all .WAV and 16-bit 44Khz - the same as the game files. The files are also renamed exactly the same as the original game files. What am I doing wrong? Is it to do with the length of the files?

For modern day mods: All current world flags can be found in the CIA world factbook, free for download (the flag images are stored in a folder after download). https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/

Amazing work! Excellent that you have modern-day sprites -I have a stack of post WW2 mods that would benefit greatly from these graphics.

How are mods being made for a patch that is not available? That is strange.

The entire middle eastern region is covered here. This is a very large bitmap, so zooming in is possible for more detailed smaller game maps. This is the first of many. PLEASE NOTE: THE MAP WILL NEED TO BE RE-SIZED! This is the 'raw' map and you can alter it to whatever purpose.

Does anyone have a copy of GDW's World War 3 - the old wargame? The reason I ask is because I think in the first game of the series is a chart that shows you the method they used for making the strength points of each unit, with lists of unit types, artillery, and so on. This would be a great resource for any modern-day mods.

I was about to make the same point but then I read this: http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=34;t=002192 Apparently the patch has a bug and has been temporarily suspended.

I love this! Great work!

RobertC has a point. It is a pity I don't have more time to make mods but I understand his point. We have a lot of dedicated people here with excellent modding skills. Perhaps if we establish a common thread of what scenarios we would all enjoy playing this may lead to a more varied choice of mods. My quick suggestions on this matter are: -Battle of Britain & Operation Sealion -Invasion of Yugoslavia & Greece -Invasion of Denmark & Norway Also, there is nothing stopping anyone from making Modern-Day scenarios. By the way Fantomas - thank you for the great 2D modern counters.

All versions of the Enigma Code Machine, simulations free for PC. This is a serious delight for any WW2 historical enthusiast. Utterly amazing. The PURPLE Machine Naval Enigma M3 Army / Air Force Railway Enigma The Abwehr Enigma The Swiss NEMA Cipher Machine Siemens and Halske T52 Cipher Machine The ECM Mk II ( aka SIGABA) Hagelin Machines... http://frode.home.cern.ch/frode/crypto/simula/index.html

Scipio - can you upload the world map to the yahoo group? There is a folder called MAPS in the files section?

This is great work Caeser!

Air Fleets with reduced range could be used as Cavalry. Cavalry charges and falls back, and one of the main aspects of a Cavalry charge is their effect on enemy morale and their ability to shatter formations. On the other hand: In a medieval setting Tanks would serve well as Cavalry: Anti-Tank Weaponry could become 'Pikemen' - the perfect counter to Cavalry attacks. Obviously you would need to change names and also substitute custom sounds, a good deal of which can be found here: http://www.sounddogs.com

http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/strategiccommand2/ http://www.cmmods.com/ HISTORICAL POPPUP EVENTS V.1.0 By Steve Rogers Care was taken not to include events in Europe (as of course it is you who decides the fate of the war). Just paste the Scripts folder into: C:\Program Files\Battlefront\Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg\Campaigns\_CAMPAIGN_NAME For example: C:\Program Files\Battlefront\Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg\Campaigns\_1939 Fall Weiss This is best used with full-map scenarios. Events covered start in 1939 and end 1945. This file will not mess up the game in any way and can be used in all full-scale european scenarios.

If the UK player buys no units or does not invest in research at the start (and is lucky with u-boat attacks on convoys) then around January 1940 he can indeed purchase a new air fleet, which should be ready around August 1940, giving him a total of 2 air fleets. This would be acceptable for the Battle Of Britain force comparisons.
