Gents! I found out how to modify nearly every aspect of the game. I can create new maps by modifying them with the Eastern Front map editor and with a little bit of modification the maps load into the Battleground Civil War scenarios.
I’m looking to create a grand scenario on Amry->Corp->Division (unit size) level. I've changed the movement and weapons data to reflect the maps size aspects (also the stack limit for the divisiona sized units).
Turns = 15 minutes (represent a weeks movement)
Dusk = Fall/Spring movements
Night = Winter movements
Scenario covers the complete civil war using all existing Battleground and HPS OOB I could find. I've modified them into one large OOB using DIVISIONS as unit size.
The only problem I'm having is getting the naval units to work. The OOB files don't like the addition or removal of Gunboats. Does anyone know how to add or remove Gunboats in the OOB without causing errors? Another problem is that I’m limited to only 1 Gunboat (HPS has a couple of boats in their scenarios!). Here is another naval question, should units be able to transport accros the water or should it be restricted to only Gunboats? What do you think of minimum movment points needed to use rail lines for quick troop movement across the large map?
I've added a picture of the 2D map here in the post- preview of early map. Let me know your thoughts on building the BIG scenario or if you would be interesting in helping complete the scenario.
BRD!
