Mr. Clark Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Sweet map! ...and I agree with Von Lucke, I'd rather be able to play out a game in days or weeks instead of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyman Posted April 30, 2002 Author Share Posted April 30, 2002 AHH! nice looking piece of code! Would it by any chance be possible to get a picture of that map without the units? Just want to plan ahead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonManstein39 Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Like the strategic map - FAR better than the equivalent 'Country' map in COS! Noticed how the Germans start out with bugger all on the Western Front - the German player is going to have to know what he's doing right from the start! Is there something in the game setup that makes it hard for the French army to storm into Germany while the Germans are busy in Poland? Hope so. In COS it was supply that was the stumbling block for the French - with no French army groups available at the start. Is it the same in SC?

Hubert Cater Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 As in other games, there is nothing stopping the French from storming into Germany, but they will have their share of problems/issues at the start. No HQ (so this will decrease unit readiness and supply), they must cross the Rhine or maybe invade the Low Countries to make their own 'Sickel Cut' type manouver and if you move off the maginot line these units lose the benefit of sitting there and entrenching themselves etc. But I have played where a concerted effort on behalf of the UK and France together can make it very interesting at the beginning when Germany is occupied in Poland. It is definitly one of those risk it all at the beginning type of moves, and it is risky since the UK does not have much in terms of manpower from the start. If you play it right it might just pay off, but overextend yourself without capturing any cities early on, and you might get quickly wiped out as Germany can instantly turn it's attention back west. Over commit and lose, and you might not have anything to left over to stop block a drive back to Paris and eventually 'Sea Lion' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
