Hello, My name is Oldwarrior and I am new to this forum

[eric0303]

I have been thinking about buying this game and have a few questions:

1-Is there a place on the web (I have not found any) that has a file with scenarios for FPG??
2-Is the map a 1 of a kind map? In other words has anyone made a map for a scenario outside of Germany where opposing forces could engage?
3-Are there any mods for this game? New maps? sounds? additional units? Etc
Thanks for your time
I have been wargaming since the 60’s and still love it to this day.

oldwarrior,

#1- Not that I have seen. It take a bit of work to make a full scenario and noone seem to have stepped up to the plate on that. It easy fairly easy to make your own battles with the Ad-hoc scenario tool.

#2- There are 4 very nice hand crafted maps in the game. Germany is the focus of the maps. There is no map editor in this version due to the hand crafted map style. We are looking to change that in the next game so folks can build more maps of various sizes.

#3- Additional units and in fact a counters mod was integrated into the game and in the updates. The guy who was doing graphics lives(d) on the Gulf coast and the hurricane put him out of business unfortunately. That is half the reason for a new mapping model in the next game. If you have wave file sound bites of guns and such you can place them in the game to replace what is there. I am also aware of a graphics being worked by one of our beta testers.

Let us know if you have any more questions.

Hi Old Warrior,

I have been wargaming since the sixties too. Also I am the beta-tester that is working on a graphics mod. It will change the unit and badge icons.

It would be nice to release some new scenarios and I have finished 1 of what I hope will be a set of 5 related scenarios.

At the moment we are very busy testing builds to put a finish to 1.05. I can't say when the graphics mod may be finished but it is coming along.

The game system is quite good. The amount of support given by Robert Crandall and Capn Darwin is outstanding. Check out some of the posts, if you have not already, and perhaps they will help you in making a decision about buying it.

Regards John
