Rono Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I'm getting sort of superpumped up for this game. It looks like it's gonna be cool. Next to the 2by3 guys and the creator of this game, you're keep it real, to the bone esse! Yeah for sure. Seriously, could I see a screenshot of the Russian front on a large scale, like the whole front? I'd like to see what that looks like on just a unit scale in this game. That will tide me over until the release date. That way I can imagine fighting the battles in my head until it's released. Thanks for a cool looking game, J.

waltero Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 The Battles are raging in your head already! Soon you will not need a game? :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Hopefully the game will live upto the hype & satisfaction of SC-1. If SC-2 sucks, we're going to be pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rono Posted April 21, 2005 Author Share Posted April 21, 2005 There really hasn't been big WWII games that seemed cool. War in the Pacific looks pretty sweet so eventually I'll pick that one up. Oh, I need the game. Cheers, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note: The white box represents the currently viewed section of the map (Polish frontier), which is 20x15 tiles. As you'll probably notice from this screen capture, the map has grown in size quite a bit over SC1 :cool: Thanks for a cool looking game My pleasure Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 A Bone! We have a Bone!!! So before Edwin gets here...can we put troops in Iceland? Greenland? Cross Lake Ladoga when it's frozen?

Hubert Cater Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Originally posted by Lars: A Bone! We have a Bone!!! Ok, ok, here are a few more Bones Iceland yes, Greenland no. This could change but at the moment I just have it modelled as a Neutral land mass... BUT you could get your naval units trapped up there when Arctic ice forms during the winter. Here's a snapshot of U-29, apparently looking for some convoys to hunt, but caught in some winter ice instead! More on the rest soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragoon19 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 That is so cool! I really like the ice. One quick comment on Greenland! Greenland is Danish territory. Should Germany invade Denmark the neutrality of the Greenland landmass should change in some way. I suggest that when the US enters the war the Greenland landmass should go to the US. Also historically Iceland was Danish at the time. Iceland used the Germany occupation of Denmark to declare independence, and I think they made some sort of agreements with the US. Historical note. The Danish ambassador to the US made a deal with the US. This meant that US could use Greenland for among other weather stations and airbases etc. The deal was made in 1941 despite the wishes of the Danish government in Copenhagen. The deal was later approved when Denmark was liberated from German occupation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Actually, Iceland was invaded, er, "occupied" by the British. German occupation of Denmark on April 9, 1940 severed communications between Iceland and Denmark. As a result, the Parliament of Iceland on April 10 elected to take control of foreign affairs into its own hands. During the first year of World War II Iceland strictly enforced a position of neutrality, taking action against both British and German forces violating the laws of neutrality. On May 10th 1940, British military forces invaded and occupied Iceland. The government issued a protest, but if the authorities ever had any thoughts of mounting a defence they were made impossible by the fact that most of the country's police force, including the only officer with military training, was in a training camp some distance from the capital. The government quickly adopted a policy, similar to the Danish one, of collaboration with the occupying forces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
