ORIGINAL: Warship NWS

A quick congrats to the new dev team for the Campaign Series. However, dont just stop at Vietnam.. this engine has a wide range of directions it could take covering other modern conflicts like Korea or the Cold War regions. There are FAR too few good wargames out there covering modern land tactical combat. WW1 would be an interesting topic also.

Good luck.. and if there is anything we can help with in regards to research or combat mechanics concepts at NWS just let me know.

Take care.

Well, funny you should say about Korea, my mod for this era is well under way, am finishing up unittxt and pic files!! I hope to have this updated by Matrix at some point, for now, as soon as it is done, I would like to release it if I can get space to do so, it's well over 200+mb!! Also, there is a WW1 version in the works by a member!![;)]

Hey David!

I will certainly do so, thank you![:D] It's getting close, mostly need scenario's. I have seven disks I sent out to guys who offered, but only one is actively making any scenararios at this time. I'm hoping it's just a case of warm weather and so much else to do, that goes for me too!! I'll be in touch, thanks again.

Hi all,
 
Glad to see this game is getting some attention.  I am a recent recruit to the campaign series having bought an old copy of EF on line and pleasently finding out that it works under Win 2000.  So far in the few battles I have played I really enjoyed the game and look forward to a new full package.  I have to credit my friend Fred for getting me addicted to these games.  We used to play Panzer Blitz and Panzer Leader back in High School (1980s).  It is much nicer to have  a computer resolve all our rule "debates" that generally took more time then actaully playing the game. ;)
 
As for my wish list for further development:
1.  All further developement should be as modules to a common starting intereface.  I.E. 1 program, many wars.
2.  I would love a WWI componet as I am not very familer with The Great War.
3.  Korea would also be interesting, as well as what if scienerios.
 
Thnaks,
Duncan

I'd like to see scenarios for all the major conflicts since WW2, including Korea, Middle East, hypothetical East vs West, Vietnam, India/Pakistan, Falklands, Desert Storm, Second Iraq invasion, and any others I may have left out.

Hi David, I think I'm the scenario designer Mike is referring to. I hope you can sort something out with each other as he has made an amazing mod.
Basically a new CS game. I find it hard to believe how much one person has been able to do - and in his spare time (can I mention the OOB even includes scout dog teams with barking sounds - that is what really impressed me :) The attention to detail is incredible.

I look forward to playing the final game but we do need some people designing scenarios!
Cheers, Chris
P.S. If this is released via Matrix it would be great to see the ability for designers to be able to change visibility during the game. My first Korean scenario requires this but it has to be done by a manual file edit by the player. (As did my last WF CS scenario) Starshells should also be functional in all CS games.

If you have the CS Divided Ground disc there is now a clean up patch for the original Middle East version and a mod  for Vietnam has been made.  Also addons for some of those other conflicts is being worked on by some dedicated freelancers of the old Talonsoft game.

Is a Warsaw Pact - NATO mod available for Divided Ground? I would love to get into some scenario designing on modern battles.

Hello All!

I have played the Campaign Series since East Front first came out. I first got interested in modding when I bought Divided Ground and was immediately disappointed by the many flaws in the game. I have since become more of a modder, than a gamer!. I have completed my work on improving Divided Ground (currently on version 2.00), and participated in the development of the Vietnam Mod to Divided Ground. I have also completed work on adding Soviet and US forces to Divided Ground. In between, I have assisted George Smithson and Jason Petho on their additions to the WW2 games. For the last three years I have been mainly occupied with developing a massively comprehensive WWI mod for West Front.

I look forward to working with David and the rest of the Matrix team.

1 more week till christmas.
I'm hoping for a nice season with my pc running hot with WF.
How are things doing on the games frontline?
Is "D-Day" being postponed?
The waiting is driving me nuts.

Still, best wishes from Germany to all those who read the forums.

Even the real D-Day was postponed for a day.   Besides any time a programmer promised you a date, add a month.
 
I'd rahter have it be correct than early!

your reasoning is sound. But you know the feeling when you've been looking forward to the release date,only to find it postponed. Plus Christmas is the only time that my GF lets me play soooo much. So another reason to be upset. But I reckon when the matrix-boys are ready to releases the finished product, it'll have been worth the wait.
