So to automatically assume a perfect situation every time and that for any engineer unit will at any given point in a battle have exactly what it needs in the place it requires it every time it needs it is to me pushing abstraction ...

That is close enough to reality for me. that American engineer unit in world war II did one in 45min. I,m at peace with that carry over into game terms.

Laying a bridge by an Engineering unit has a 20% chance for succeed, so on average building a bridge takes five turns. Depending on the scenario duration, that may or may not be a significant effort of the said unit, keeping it from ...

Yes, how the units are modeled and in how many turns a certain historic battle would play out to historic results are two different things. <br/>

Pieter (Tukker) and I are working on one. Not sure if I'm allowed to tell about it yet though.
Keep posted.

<r> For those interested, I visited the corridor near Veghel in 2004. Unfortunately a new industry park was planned at the spot where the Germans cut the corridor and held it for a day, so I'm not sure if it even looks the same today as it did in 2004.<br/>
We also were lucky enough to talk to some ...

On another (non graphical) note. Trenches seem to block LOS in CS, which is totally ridiculous.

<t> DG was actually aquired by Matrix as far as I know. However the quality of it was judged as not sufficient (game and existing scenarios) to re-release it like WF, EF and RS. Therefore Modern Wars Vol.I. was created from scratch. MW Vol.I covers the wars in the Middle East and of Vietnam. While ...

Huib - sorry to stray off the thread topic a little - but have you any plans to adapt Woensdrecht for the new patches? I think it's a really fantastic scenario, one of the best I've played, for all the reasons I've mentioned before.
<e ...

<t> If you need info about this battle, I know ridiculously much about it, especially about the German FJ divisions there.<br/>
I have made Veritable for JTCS game (not released the scn yet), so I have a full OOB info if you need it.<br/>
Have WW2 era topo maps of it as well.<br/>

edit ...

Oh yes. In in non urban areas I'd like to see foxholes instead of sandbags after a unit dug in.

Can anyone post an example of TOAW 2d representation? I'm curious.

Huib

I would like to see more variety in buildings; windmills, large farm buildings. Also for East Front I would like to be able to choose Westfront map graphics, mainly for late war battles in Germany, East Prussia and Western Poland.

Is this intended to b played as the Allies? Or could it be played as German?

No preference. It can be played from both sides.

Thanks Phoenix. Glad you enjoyed it. I really like the replayability of this game series. When I did the testrun playing as Allied the main fight was in Hoogerheide and the Causeway. Looks like the battle can take a whole different turn each time it is played.
