I was wondering about urban fighting so I started this thread over on boardgamegeek:

The designer, Uwe, dropped in so that is always neat to see.

Interesting reading. Keep us posted on any updates.

Jamm, it's a very nice work.

Ok, the map is pretty much done and the underlying terrain is working.
Have a look

A few minor tweaks and then on to scenario designs

Impressive!

I haven't played Red Barricades in years. Looking forward to your scens Jamm.

cheers

Great work, thanks! [:)]

A work of art. This alone will bring in new customers I'm sure. Does the game have assault pioneers? As you couldn't really recreate it without them.

A wonderful map.

The Germans have Assault Pioneers.

Really beautiful map.

Gerry

That looks absolutly fantastic !
I hope that you kept some notes on the short cuts that you used and what not. Maybe a little sticky could be created to show some off the processes that you used to others so that we can get some more great map/scenario projects from others out there.

Thanks all for the encouragement.
Here's a couple pics of Bread Factory #2 scenario I'm currently testing

The fighting is quite a bit different.
Short LOS's make for close in fights and the terrain gives a lot of defensive bonuses

Amazing. This takes the game to an entirely new level.

Looks awesome, kudos to you Jamm. [8D]

Erik, Eric:

Wondering if it is possible to change the way the game shows lack of LOS. Right now it darkens the hexes you cannot see. But it is so dark that to me it partially ruins one of the best things about the game, i.e. the beautiful maps. Jamm's map above is a good example. Maybe tone down the darkness. Or make it something we can toggle with a keystroke?

Gerry

^ +1 I agree with Gerry, toggle would be nice.

It is possible to change the way the game shows fog of war.

For the scenario cards, I went for the COH look.
Here's the one for The Bread Factory.
Should have something ready for download soon,
just in time for Christmas
