Me too.Originally posted by Honch:I know that I have harped on this before but from reading the recent posts about the exciting Patton Drives East expansion etc. I wanted to start a thread where players can post their agreement that a FALL WEISS map at about 25-30% reduction in scale (to more closely represent corps/division level) is something everyone would enjoy, especially the modders. I have been waiting anxiously in order to adapt my MOD to WAW.
Artillery, special forces, engineers and even tank groups would then be more appropriate for the game. Right now WAW is an army level game, only the Soviet units are realistically appropriate for the scale. Adding important cities and towns as well as countries would also be easier.
We all love the moddability of the game and the continuing commitment to expansion but I think this new scale map would bring ALOT of players and modders back.

Yeah,
is this one.
What a enthusiastic welcome.
Yes, I'm a newcomer to mods development.
But I have some ideas on this one.
This map is only a scketch to work on.
Now I work to learn to use the editor. So I think I will have a little scenario in a short time.
Maybe with some special features.

But I have to admit. They are powerful units.
-
I have to admit a little fear when I have to use carriers because I don't know what side, me or the enemy, will have more damage.

I agree that the game balance is the real need.Originally posted by Bill101:Keeping the price of carriers high keeps them rare. That way their influence on the European theatre is kept fairly realistic.
How they should be in a Pacific scenario is a totally different issue as their strategic profile there was much higher than it was in Europe.
What seems to be forgotten in some of the comments is the need for game balance. For instance, at the moment the Germans can make fighters pretty cheaply and also purchase quite a few AA units. If we were therefore to allow their AA units to fire twice then an allied strategic bombing campaign would become so much harder, if not impossible. That's the issue at stake.
But you can't have different rules for carriers in Europe or in the Pacific.
The splitted counters ops ( ie aircrafts and carrier splitted) doesn't change the balance and keep the carriers much more usable and with a deeper strategy.

The map will contain the South Vietnam and the demilitarized zone with a little piece of the North Vietnam. A part of Laos, the Ho Chi Minh trail, and vast part of Cambodia.
I think to include in the game the Pathet Lao and Khmehr Rouge forces.

RECRUITING
1 VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE
Someone who can work on the units sprites and the flags (maybe in an innovative way).
2 Some other people that can work with me on the map, scripts and research.
3 Play testers a go-go.
4 Hubert Cater himself.
Maybe we can use him as well. If he wants, of course.

Main Objectives
1 The final mod version will simulate the full 1965-1975 Vietnam war at regiment-brigade-division scale.
Maybe we will have some scenarios on the full map taking in account only one or two years or a special historical event like the Tet offensive or the 1972 offensive.
2 The Vietnam war was as a political affair as a military affair, so the game will be heavily scripted with historical events ( plus many only descriptives historical events to paint the time feeling like the beatiful spanish civil war scenario).
3 We have to do with the tools we have. So if anyone can have some brilliant thoughts to simulate the fluctuant south vietnamese national morale or any matters....

1 I love this game.
2 I believe this game can simulate some other modern conflicts, not only WW2 enviroment.
3 I'm very interested in the Vietnam war history from many years.
4 Is my opinion that post WW2 conflicts are much more interesting because they aren't so much abused on PC.
5 If this mod will be successful I think we can force Hubert Cater to work in this direction:
Post WW2 modern war conflicts.
p.s. the next expansion will be a little step beyond, anyway.
-
They are too easy targets from naval combat and earth based aircrafts and the replacements are too much expensive taking in account the easy chance to damage them.
-
For the aircraft carriers question:
As I've said before, to me the aircraft carriers have to become two (2) counters.
1 the aircrafts alone. They can have cheaper replacements and more offensive punch.
2 the carrier will be only the floating base with her defence targeted upgrades and more expensive replacements.

..to change, with the scwaw editor, the country to a not european one?
-
Playing with PC.
LOL
-
I'm playing a game as Axis and I think is funny.
The fuel option is a good idea.
-
Is good to play with another guy.
-
Because the swiss cheese has holes in it.

First, I prefer very much Strategic Command but Commander: Europe at war from Slitherine is a good game too.
So I think someone here can be interested to know that Commander: Europe at War will have a follow with Commander: Napoleon at War.

Don't try it. I'm on guard.

Thank you Hubert.
At now I'm trying to learn more than I can on the editor.
The next step is to do a little scenario to prove myself.
Dien Bien Phu
Only ten years after WW2 end with mainly conventional units (the only guerrillas there were on the french side). So I haven't to do too much sprites
