Sergei Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 I have a stack of CM maps created with Mapping Mission based on 1:20000 wartime maps. Now, what I have on my mind is to separate these into a continuous series of 6-10 maps following a stretch of road to south of Ihantala, shown on this map with blue dots: Such a series might be interesting for those who like to play in campaign, as each map would be a continuation of the previous one. I'm just not particularly interested in developing this part of the idea, I'd rather just provide the maps and let someone else tinker with the system. Thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Deuce Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 You mean along the lines of CMMC2? I am working on something like that for October 1944 in Hungary. What area do the maps you have completed cover? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve McClaire Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 What areas do you have wartime maps for? I am always on the lookout for original map images. Do you have them scanned, and are you willing to share if so? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted January 26, 2004 Author Share Posted January 26, 2004 I think the Meta Campaign is meant for multi-play. I'm just thinking of something simple, attacking along a road through a series of maps vs. AI. Like after taking over this map (when you come from south) you proceed along the road onto this map: and so on. Basically all the area shown in the map in my original post have already been converted into Mapping Mission or CM format (and you can go e.g. to Der Kessel for them), I'm just thinking of making a special package out of them for special purposes. What areas do you have wartime maps for?I did say "south of Ihantala", doesn't that tell it all to you? So it's in Finland, southern end of the area is about 6 km NE of city of Viipuri. You can find maps covering most of the parts of Karelia that Finland lost in WW2 from here, it's not a secret. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterk Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Sergei, I'm working on a piece of software that will let people build campaigns such as this for play against the AI or PBEM. My first test scenario involves Stalingrad and it will keep me busy for a while (28 maps - ARGH) but I might be interested in using your maps for the 2nd scenario. Drop me an e-mail if you want some more info. I've got a really early screenshot of my program in the "Ideas For A Stalingrad Campaign" thread in Scenario talk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benpark Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Really great ideas. I like the simplicity of using that one road line to gauge progress on the overview map. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vergeltungswaffe Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I would be highly in favor of this type of thing. I love playing on maps that represent actual terrain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Deuce Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Does anyone have detailed OOB related information on the fighting in this area? I am sure there is more on the net somewhere but just wondered if anyone had the info handy. I think these maps/battle would make an excellent mini campaign with 3-6 players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted January 29, 2004 Author Share Posted January 29, 2004 Maybe Keke can provide something in the way of OOB? Unless it's secret 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be interested in the Mapping Mission file. What is the total map size? I would need it to build any campiagn type game using these maps. This is so I could crop the actual areas where a fight would be determined to take place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokossovski Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 The maps look great, and I like the idea. How do I get my mits on the CM versions of the maps? I suspect the above posts tell me, but a trip to "Der Kessel" did not enlighten me. - Rokossovski 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 DD, I'll send it to you. Send me an e-mail so I know your address. At the moment total size is 9 km tall and 7 km wide, but what I've done is actually 8 km tall and 5+ km wide. Rokossovski, you can find some of these maps from Der Kessel maps sections, CMBB => Sergei. Or you can find huge maps which contain the same areas from Scenario Depot. I can send you these cut maps if you wish. [ February 02, 2004, 05:02 AM: Message edited by: Sergei ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
