Italian Campaign Development Thread

[Veers]

As posted earlier (a few posts up on this page) there's still need for a map maker - i also don't know about the Allied OOB - anyone worked on this?

You could send me the map files, Wyatt and i'll have a look on it, can't promise anything.

And hei, Jonathan, welcome back, btw!:toast:

The thread is about our attempt to create an Italian Campaign at the 5km per hex scale, based on the map from Sicily to Brenner Pass.

The mod that Jonathan and I are going to playtest is of Marc Custer`s Italian Campaign PBEM.

@Telumar, thanks for the welcome, did you release your Anzio scen?

Not yet, we (Erik Nygaard, Marc Custer, Heldenkaiser and me) are in the process of playtesting, it's playable, has been further enhanced since the first playtest version and several event bugs have been fixed. See here: http://forums.gamesquad.com/showthread.php?t=80220

However, it's not for solo play. I haven't set up a PO yet, and there are also the engine's shortcoming with amphibious invasions and handling defensive delaying actions.

Telumar, just read the thread. Is that a different font in the screenies? If so can you please direct me to it, certainly an improvement!

Thanks Tel. That font gives the game a more professional feel!

While waiting for news from Silvanski i began to work on the map, correcting and enhancing two small areas. First, as expected .. Anzio, second the area around Piombino (south of Livorno) upon which i stumbled by hovering across the map and redraw it from memory as i've been in this area for two weeks last summer. (tip: the hills north of Piombino are a very beautifull site as long as you don't look at Piombino industrial area lol, go for a walk on the northwestern side of the hills below the ruins of the ancient etrurian agropolis of Populonia, very beautifull place)

 

[Veers]

FANTASTIC! We've got ourselves a mapper!

 

[Silvanski]

Ouch, the unfinished map... my bad

Great Job Telumar. Was Ghedi added to the version of the map you have. it was a large air base for the Luftwaffe. One other thing i changed the font to yours and i quite like it, is there any way to get the SS runes back keeping this font?

Cheers

Great Job Telumar. Was Ghedi added to the version of the map you have. it was a large air base for the Luftwaffe.

Maybe this unnamed airfield near Brescia? There are a lot of airfields on the map, all unnamed. Luckily i have a scanned wwii italy map once downloaded from Goran W's website which provides names for almost all of these airbases.
Further i'm planing to name all rivers and lakes etc.

Sadly not. Sorry.

 

[Polynike]

Yes Ghedi is south of Brescia! Whats the address for Gora W's website?

There is a thread over at armchairgeneral where you can post requests to Goran.

oh ya........whats "COW"

Heh, the newest old version of TOAW.
TOAW: Century of Warfare was the last version put out by Talonsoft.

also....rugged defense.....do all the scenario's there work in TOAW???

Anything marked III will, anything marked CoW should, and anything for a version earlier than that (Wargame of the Year, Version II, or Version I) will have to be loaded into CoW first.
