Paper Tiger Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I am currently working on converting some of the Montebourg Campaign maps for use as QB maps: Because they are being extensively tested before release, creating these QBs will take quite a bit of time so I intend to release them in small packs consisting of 3-4 maps. The first map pack will consist of the maps for campaign missions 2, 3 and 4 - Ecoqueneauville, la Grand Hameau and le Hamelet. There will be three versions of each map, an ASSAULT, ATTACK and PROBE map, each with a slightly different focus with respect to scoring to reflect the different nature of the three actions. For the time being, there will be no MEETING variants but they may come later. These QB maps will be highly customised for SMALL infantry battles only, not TINY or NORMAL+. The official QB maps that shipped with the game had to be playable with every force composition possible in mind. I only play infantry-centric QBs anyway and so I'm designing them to suit my play preferences. Of course, the Human player is free to chose whatever force he wishes to play with, but he must bear in mind that an AI attacker with lots of vehicles will likely produce a very unsatisfactory experience because the AI plans were not tested with vehicles in mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyBucket Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Awesome. The more quality QB maps, the merrier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikkey Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Super news Paper Tiger. Could you also release the individual missions of your excellent campaign as a scenarios? Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolloff Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Paper Tiger, first of all: Thanks for this awesome campaign. I haven´t finished it yet but the individual scenarios I´ve played so far have been superb. Somehow you manage to create a rare atmosphere of total suspense and I love the freedom of having multiple possibilities how to approach possible enemy positions. Having the scenarios in a standalone version would be absolutely fantastic. Cheers Nolloff 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper Tiger Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 Hi guys Thanks for the interest. Just a quick update. I am working my ar$e off just now getting a whole load of new maps done for my next project and won't have much time to finish off the Montebourg maps for a wee while. I'm not sure when I'll be able to finish off the three that are in progress. TBH, there's not much left to do to finalise them and so, if I get sick of map work, I'll maybe finish them off over a weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vergeltungswaffe Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 A new Paper Tiger project makes delays on anything else quite palatable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Really looking forward to Montebourg - if it's as good as your xnt CMSF scenarios/campaigns... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Harrison Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Thanks for the update. If you loose interest in making them into QB maps, would you be willing to let the community at large help? After playing these maps, I honestly think that they would make great, quality QB maps: both visually and gameplay wise.

Chad Harrison Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Now with CMBN:CW out, any word on these Paper Tiger? Would you be willing to provide the maps without AI and we can AI them ourselves? Thanks in advance Chad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Tiger Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 I'm going to focus on getting the Canadian campaign up and running first, and then I plan to spend some time getting these QB maps finished, along with a few maps from the Scottish Corridor campaign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mike Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Now with CMBN:CW out, any word on these Paper Tiger? Would you be willing to provide the maps without AI and we can AI them ourselves? Thanks in advance Chad Hi Chad, not trying to derail the whole thread (which is about QB customisation of the Montebourg maps by PT himself). But you might be interested to know that you can already do what you asked about above by just using the CMBN Scenario Organisor (see my sig for download links). It will extract the individual battles of the campaign, which you can then alter to match your ideas. Cheers, Mad Mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good. As always, thanks for the great effort - great maps and great battles. Chad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
