Yeah I think you're right. I've already asked the same before... it's not much fun reading an AAR without piccies. Maybe they don't want to give their opponent an advantage by exposing their defences/ units. But you could avoid this problem by having *two* threads, one thread for each player.

Thx Hubert. Now I already noticed that I have to scroll to see some of the screenshots... meaning my old and trusty Cathode Ray Tube 19" Iiyama monitor has to go sooner or later. /sob 24" really does improve game play hmm?

It would be indeed epic. Mind you, big, epic games are not everybodies taste. More, bigger, larger... is not always "better". I remember a game that had such large scenarios that just one turn could easily take a day.

They do look nice don't they? I wonder what size screen and resolution they used...

It's always a good thing when a gamer gets so involved in a game that they make their own mods. It takes a lot of dedication and commitment to finally finish and release the mod though. Good luck. And please do post the things you're working on.

Here you are. Five threads and counting haha.

You mean this one?

A site I frequently check out is this one: http://forum.axishistory.com/ A HUGE amount of info and links there.

Yup. Quote from Hubert: "..Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that has posted so far and I hope you repost your ideas in the new official contest forum." So I guess you have to re-post them, just copy/paste will do I guess.

I would... re-phrase that if I were you

"...There are many possibilities for new operational scenerios that could be included. Among them are Guadalcanal, Midway, the Coral Sea, New Guinea, China, the Philipines, Burma, Southeast Asia, Leyte Gulf, and hypothetical invasions of Japan, Hawaii, Australia, India, or even the United States..." You're right Jeff, that's about a year worth of scenario designing and play balancing Would love to see some scenarios too.

Good point. I can only speak for myself here. As much as I like to play a good WWII game, I don't have the time, nor the patience to delve into scenario making. It asks a lot of dedication to make a good one.... for instance finding out the OOB, historical facts and so on... all takes a tremendous amount of time. So yeah, I would like to see more scenarios too, but I'm afraid I won't make any.... sorry. Oh, would love to see that Seelowe heights you're talking about

They're already online! Grrrreat work. Oh man now I need to buy a new 24" monitor http://www.battlefront-store.com:8080//index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=412&Itemid=217 .... boy, does the Gaulle know about this!?! [ February 20, 2008, 11:53 PM: Message edited by: Joshua22 ]

I'm with you as well. Much as I like to see an expansion, I would also like to see those improvements implemented in the current game. .... can't wait for the first screenshots though )

Uh yeah, WaW *is* the expansion, but Hubert is working on this: /quote "Good news is that the World conversion is coming along very nicely and with that being said there will be a few other surprises/developments that I think most people will be very happy to hear" /end quote Not clear yet if it will be a free download or not.

Maybe you should watch the Chevy Chase european vacation movie Oh, and German beer is simply the best! Period. Compared to the horse p#ss the english call .... "beer", tastes more like luke warm soda pop if you ask me And no I don't live there.

No stacking here, but you don't miss it. Other games like Hearts of Iron or Advanced Tactics that I own do allow stacking... does that make it better games? Not in the least. Gameplay is "simple" and fluid, and there's no micro management like in HoI-II. And I do enjoy SC2-WAW a lot, the upcoming expansion will be a lot of fun too. So yeah, my 2 cents... buy it.

Nice story about that French Carrier. Sort of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" all wanting the gold, only this time it's not buried in a unmarked grave... but in a Carrier.

Thanks for your outstanding efforts! But I wouldn't go for famous movie characters... as much as I like Lee Marvin as a actor it would seem a little awkward to see him on a counter. I'd use the historical figures for that.... Skorzeny, or Peiper, or whoever.

/Off topic. "...Interesting, right now the deployment/use of Axis minors reminds me of the current situation in Afghanistan. The Canucks, Brits and the US (even if only with their itchy trigger fingers on their bomb pickles) are doing the heavy lifting...." That's not quite correct, there are more countries, and the Dutch are fighting heavily in a southern province alongside our US allies. And I can tell you it pisses me of *a lot* that our NATO "allies" won't send more troops to support our cause there. Left wing politicians, bah. /end off topic ramble

John, how is it possible you're more then 5 years a member of this forum, and haven't been banned yet? Quit screwing this topic.

Thanks for the link: http://www.zdf.de/ZDFmediathek/content/408210?inPopup=true Great site and awesome graphics, it looks so real with rust on the bow and all.

To our German forum members, just heard today there will be a movie about the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff on German television (ZDF?) to be broadcasted in March. Don't miss it. Oh, by the way, a elderly woman I know, who fled from east Prussia... long time ago, almost had been on that ship. She always keeps telling me, in her german/ swedish accent, that she had a "bad" feeling about that ship, so that was the reason she wasn't on it when it sunk. How many went down with the Gustloff? 7.000?

Yeah sure Panzers 15 at level 5 are amazing... gamewise. They are elite units... gamewise. But it still feels as if you're missing something. The Volkssturm for example, elderly not well trained men, could be in game mechanics; cheap fast produced units, tough on panzers but vulnerable to everything else. I haven't got a clue as to how you could make German SS or Russian Guard units in this game. Better organization? Harder to kill? Highly motivated? Another problem is, how much detail do you want without destroying the gameplay and turning it into a chore? Oh well, obviously more brilliant people then me are working on this as we speak Can't wait for the new update.

Awesome! Can't wait.
