WW2-Global

[Rocoteh]

It used to be four, right now they are down to two divisions thrown at me. Next Turn we will launch Fall Rot since the French seem to be exhausted.

I don t have any intelligence on their offense at Turkey, but I assume it´s just one division produced in Damaskus.

IarnGreiper,

Thank you.
That is interesting information.

Fall Rot turned out to be a Blitzkrieg. With our massive tank-reinforced spearheads we cut through French defenses like a hot knife thorugh butter. Week 50 gave us control of Lille and Verdun for Kampfgruppe A and Dijon and Lyon for Kampfgruppe B operating from Bern.
Paris fell a week later, Marseilles was our at Sylvester.
No real signs of coordinated French counterattacks.

I am looking forward to the next beta.

IarnGreiper,

Thank you for the report.

This is very good news!
Then probably no major changes have to be done with regard
to OOB:s.

The next BETA should be completed tomorrow.

I am bored and try to take a totally different way using my earyl sealion savegame. After operation sealion I will try to invade America while maintaining a defensive position towards France on the continent.

Rocoteh,
maybe wait for some other playtests. I guess that results will wildly differ depending on tactics. I especially fear that German AI won t be able to beat French AI.

IarnGreiper,

If this refers to the BETA it will not develop the scenario much.

[IarnGreiper]

No, I play that 2.0 game because I am bored tonight and don t want to start another beta game before the next beta.

IarnGreiper,

OK, take a time out then.
If you and I are the only people still interested in version 2.1
I will cancel the project and withdraw.

No problem.

[IarnGreiper]

Sorry to hear. However I think that many people are just waiting quietly for 2.1.

@Rocoteh
I'm one of those!
Just downloaded 2.0 after playing 1.9 for some time as the japs.
Going to give a look at the Italians, curious to find out if i can create some empire without armys.
Hope you don't stop working on 2.1

oljb007,

After working with scenario-creation during 3 years motivation
is downwards. However I hope the general interest for WW2-Global
shall be so high that I find motivation to complete the huge map.

I will send you the new BETA today when I have completed it.

Very positive to hear from you. I thought you were one of the main posters
that have been lost.

Rocoteh, I have just very little time due to exams nearing. I am very interested but now unable to do much.

Adler,

I understand.
The work with 2.1 will continue.
After Italys units have been placed I will continue with Soviet.

[IarnGreiper]

I am happy to see 2.1 finished.
BTW if that mke things easier, perhaps leave out the naming of units. While it adds some immersion, many units will be lost before the human player can see their name.

IarnGreiper,

Capital ships and some ground units will still be named.

30 years ago Richard Berg started the discussion on "chrome" in
wargames and strategy games. (Named units is "chrome").
The trend 30 years ago was dullness! Richard Berg meant that
most people liked "chrome" like good graphics and named units.

Playing a wargame or a CIV III scenario should not be a
mathematical exercise!
I mean that last 30 years of strategy/wargaming history shows
that Berg was right.

It s your decision Rocoteh. I just wanted to ease your burden.

IarnGreiper,

Thank you.
There will be a great difference between Civs when it come
to named units. Soviet will only have a few such units.

I took a look at the download numbers on the first page and they are still quite high! 1000+ for 1.9 and 2000+ for 1.8, thats pretty good.

I hope to get back on here regulary in the near future.
