What if Idea

Post by kevinkins »

What if you could mod / do a scenario where the US and Brits go after the Soviets after the defeat of Germany? Is this possible?

Yes.
You can do a 1945 scenario where Italy and Germany are conquered by Allies, while USSR is proaxis (so you just call USSR "axis" to pick a different side from UK and USA) which simulates that Axis vs Allies means USSR vs UK+USA. Would be nice to hear how it turns out.

You can do a 1939 scenario where Germany, France, Italy, fight against Poland, Russia, England, USA if you want or anything else fantasy or what-if where you define what sides fight what sides.

You can even with the editor set up a WW1 scenario and adjust all units so that defence is much better and that air and armour is very weak so it is very hard to shock the enemy and break a line. if you do a 1918 scenario you would need to edit the ww2.map as well since that file is where you define the original countries in game, their borders and stuff. A massive task, but possible.

How about a 1946 scenario to game Patton's idea to go after the Soviets while are the forces were in place?

Yes, why not? You just set the date to 1946 in editor and set which countries are going to be one side and which are going to be the other side (in this case it is hard coded as Axis and Allies but that is just names). Quite possible to make cold war scenarios also, you just change the technology and units alot in the scripts [:)]
