If there were another Mega Campaign, what area-time frame would you like to play?

Wow! That would be great to cover the waiting time until CL arrives...

Some ideas:

Western Allies 44/45 in ETO

US(MC or Army) in 44/45 in PTO (Phillipines? Iwo
Jima? Okinawa?)

Soviets June 22nd, 1944 to the end

Vlassov's army (hypothetical; 44/45)

Early German Blitzkrieg (Poland/Norway/France; in addition to that a hypothetical sealion where the player would just get the infantry across and a "victory" would be the successfull evacuation of some survivors)

French army in 1939/1940

However, in my opinion CL should get absolut priority and after that MCs should be made for CL.

Kind regards,
Roland

This may have been covered, but I wouldn't mind seeing a new WWII campaign. More control of which scenario you go to.. Instead of being random perhaps the choice of attacking a certain area.. For TCP/IP more coop between nationalities.. For instance, UK can join US to attack Germans.. Maybe this is to much, but just something to think about.

So many options...

1. Something on the UK. From Sicily and up through Italy. Possibly also from Normandy to the Rhine. Or that might be a MC of its own.

2. One of the Russian offensives. Possibly from the summer of '44 to the capture of Berlin.

3. Stalingrad. From either the German or Soviet perspective.

4. Polish forces fighting for the allies. This could mean fighting in Italy, on the eastern or western front.

5. If is was a small MC it could focus on the British special forces. Lots of interesting raids with limited objectives. Primarily infantry fighting.

Reagrds,

Lars

Hey WB. I mentioned this in another thread, but the idea of an M/C around the British 7th Armd would be kinda cool. Or maybe an Italian campaign from Sciliy to the Po Valley. Guiding those DDay Dodgers!!!

Probably a Russian MC would be cool to be played.We've had 2 camp with the Germans,one with the Americans and now it's probably come the time for a Russian one.But the choice of it could be not so simple.Late stages of war are probably not so challengin' if played with an hystorical view.Maybe the red's counterattack in winter 41 would be cool.Demyansk for example.Or something in 42/43.the drive on Rostow.Or a "Zitadelle" MC?That would be great!!An Italian Mc would be cool too.Something staring from sicily....Too many ideas <img src="eek.gif" border="0"> ...... <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Colonel, my vote goes to: Italy, from Sicily on.

Otherwise something on russian side, would be good.

Or even played as Jap: maybe Malaysia up to the fall of Singapore..

skukko · Post by **skukko** » Mon Jan 07, 2002 2:57 pm

WB: 'Horridos' Tiger-camp. You know what I mean.

Perhaps its so good MC that it should be done into CL. But that will take alot time as we don't have CL and editors for it. I give my vote to this 100% and for SPWAW.

Italy 43-44, all countries ok.

From Normandy to Rhein, just one battlegroup if US, Mech SS company if German, just change Stugs to two Tigers or Panthers.

SS-Wikings -42 -44 in East, but that will be done to regular campaign as time goes on <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Army Group North -44-45, from Narva to surrender of Reich. Lots of hard fighting in all scale.

Days after Stalingrad from Sovjets side.

Evergreen wish: Battle of Kursk -43.

If not in spwaw then in CL <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

and count me in <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

mosh

Hi Gents,

Here are my suggestions for a MC :

russian : from 44 destruction of Army Group Center to capture of berlin.

russian : defense of leningrad (any year)

We need a russian megacamp..I would love to play with these big IS2 against some Tigers...

Is there any way to do a MC where we can choose our own units and upgrade as available - that's what I would like. Somewhere in Europe!

Well, we must hear from the Axis Minors corner!! <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> How about one done on the Allied Bulgarians??!!

Let's see, by theater:

Europe:

'Sealion-1941' 'What if' campaign
'France-1940' Either side
'Russo-Finnish War'
'Invasion Norway'
'Sequel to MCNA' (Last but far from least.) <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">
'Fortress Berlin 1945' Soviet side

Pacific:
'Return to the Philipines'
'Retaking the Solomon Islands'

Just a few ideas off the top of my head.

i would like to play either as the Italians during WW2 or German perspective of Stalingrad

bchapman · Post by **bchapman** » Mon Jan 07, 2002 7:52 pm

Italian Campaign, Sicily on, including Anzio. All countries (US, British, Canadians, Free French, and others.)

Alexandra · Post by **Alexandra** » Mon Jan 07, 2002 8:30 pm

My prefs would be:

East Front as the Russians, perhaps Operation Bagration, though anything would be okie.

Early War - say Dec '41 to Aug '42 as the IJA. That could let you play all around the Pac, against about five different nationalities, then have your core end up on Guad, then switch the the USMC and kill 'em off with Watchtower <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Yeah, right !!!

Axis Minors would really be cool !
Bulgarians is o.k., but Hungarians would do aswell or, and that's my favourite:
Romanians First Axis Minor, then Allied Minor against the Hungarians, great !!! <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Have to agree with this one and add any West front action from either side, preferably from Normandy on.
I think a German version of that would be particularly swell assuming the designers (Hitler) let you have your armor when you want it <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Big T · Post by **Big T** » Mon Jan 07, 2002 9:54 pm

I think a MC played as the Allies from Italy, or the Normandy invasion would be good.

I'd also like to play one as the Russians as they push towards Berlin. (I'd love to pound on some of the German Cats with Russian steel!) <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">
