Hi all,
As you may have seen I've released my second scen this year; "Pirates" for PDB.
I've thought about Pirate scens before, but this time I read a lot of recent newspaper articles on the threat in Malakka strait, and did quite some research to find out how many ships pass there every year. Given gamespeed limitations I've put only about 1% of actual shipping in (but more of the big tankers)!
Also I spent a LOT of time figuring how to make the scen work for 3.6.3, for ANW (solo play) and for ANW (multiplay). But it seemed to work!
Although gametime is 36 hours this is a scen that can be played in a few hours from either of two sides. For me (with a 5 yr old PC) 3.6.3 is fast - ANW is pretty slow, but I think most of you with high end systems could run either in an evening.
Anyhow, look forward to feedback as usual,
Freek
