Honch MOD - Its back!

[Honch]

I have decided to update my HONCH MOD for WAW even though it may be some time before I get the proper scale map I would like. Many of the features I had in my original MOD look as though they have become normal features of WAW . I need to ask those who played the previous MOD as to which features I should add again:

I have already finished the map with all of the extra cities, towns and ports as well as adding the Netherlands and Trans-Jordan as separate countries. I will also reduce all resource bitmaps by 50% to unclutter the map. I have also changed the starting OOB to be more historical.

I will consider adding the following based on feedback:

Scripts:

1. Creation of Croatia and Kingdom of Montenegro upon conquest of Yugoslavia.

2. German and Italian territorial annexations in France after fall of France.

3. French, Dutch, Baltic, Ukrainian and Croatian SS units.

4. Spanish Blue units.

5. British Home Guard.

6. Volkstrum/Volksgrenadiers. (German Home Guard)

7. Axis oil shortage supply penalties.

8. Activation of De Gaulle and Free French units. (I think that there are already some scripts for this)

9. Free Polish, Dutch and Greek units.

10. Axis surface raiders in the Atlantic.

Units:

Change rockets to Atomic Bomb and allow for development of the bomb. (Very expensive and time consuming for all but the USA)

Change special forces to marines.

Change partisans to militia. (This will still allow USSR partisan units to appear but will also represent low level garrison troops)

Let me know!

Very good news Honch!

My proposals for your mod:

-Adding the east africa theatre

-Creation of German U boat bases in France and Norway after surrender

-Creating the 3 baltic states

Adding in Armour expolitation like in Third Reich

I dont know if it would fit into this games.

For fun making it possible to set the industrial and production figures to actual historical settings and see how long the Axis can hang for.

What effect will the Atom bomb have on the target its dropped on?

[Honch]

Version 1 is up on cmmods.

For the Atom Bomb the best way to simulate it is to simply make it a unit that everyone can purchase at level 0. The MPPs required and production delay make it not an option for most countries except the USA unless they seriously hamper their war effort. All of the attack values are maxed to ten. Therefore, it should destroy ANY unit its dropped on or wipe out any resource. There is no way to make the resource disappear permanently though.
