Scipio Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 I guess this has been requested already, but just to be sure... Well known, BTS doesn't like the idea of implementing any kind of campaign modus into CM. Well, okay, they have there reasons, and partially I understand them. However, campaigns were requested many times by many people. BTW, my personal idea of a campaign is a bigger version of operation, not a whole war issue. So, if BTS won't do it, I don't see a reason why they shouldn't support third parties to develop something if they want to. The worst thing in a campaign is to keep track of any casualties. So I guess it would be a good idea if the CM scenario editor could be altered to a) export/import a forces table into an extra file (IMPORTANT) extract the surviving forces from a closed battle c) join forces tables The rest could be done manually without extraordinary effort, as I think. Would an official please respond? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c3k Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 I concur. Between this - saving troops at the end of a battle - and saving maps, a great campaign can be created. By utilizing the editor function with saved troops, you can adjust ammo levels, perhaps even elevate HQ stats. Ken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAUS_TD Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Iam for the campaign mode, because i like big battles en wanted to see how my compagnie survives during the war en progresses example The soldiers who are fighting the first battle should be better then those who didnt. In that case your compagnie becomes more veteran than crack en some elite during the war. also reinforsments should be regular. This way you can decide if you want your better troops to get better or your regulars get veteran. i hope this will occur on the next engine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that many frontline companys have survived the east front. The casualties were terrible. Indeed your company wouldn't get better...they would loose quality, cause they always would loose some veterans, too, which will usually be replaced be less experienced troops. Really, I don't want some kind of 'Panzer General'. But in a timeframe of some weeks, maybe even 2-3 month...the timeframe of an operation (meaning not the CM kind of operation) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirReal Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 I agree. Much could be done if they allowed some leeway to modders and tool builders. /SirReal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zukkov Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 i like the idea of being able to play major operations such as stalingrad, mars, etc, with historical forces in play. the beauty of it is that bfc wouldn't have to actually design the operations. the detail-loving grogs in this forum(not me! i'm not one for a lot of details and design work) would do all that. they would just have to provide the code necessary to make that possible. easier said than done i know. but it would be cool... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scipio Posted July 24, 2003 Author Share Posted July 24, 2003 I still wonder what the official BTS position is on that... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Havermeyer- Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 This is a "campaign" mode I would support. Good idea there, Scip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
