Movies and SPWAW

[robot]

Thanks Bill and Resisti for reply. Going to give it a try. Do you have to take the internes out by the boats. All the time i was watching this on TV,I kept thinking about you designers. I watch the history channel a lot. I keep hoping some how to see my Dad in europe, in some of the footage. Bill the wife sends her regards and love. Hoping to see alot of you in KY, this year. Right now im in 12/39 long campaign. Russia against Finland. Got the germans up to 5/40 and also the brits. Japan is fighting the chinese after defeating the Russians in 3 really big battles in 39. After the new 8.1 came out i started all my long cam. over.[&o]

Just make everything historical and everything is solve. There is no need for balance of game. If PZ III short 37mm ATG gun cant penetrate the armour of some heavies of the French and British, so be it.

I dun understand why need that balance. SPWAW was intially done to make them historical, now too many changes has been made to make them balance.

Look for a new Movie scenario, "Anywhere but Here," also based on Saving Private Ryan, the landing at Dog Green Beach. It is single man combat. Most units are single men. Makes it even more down and personal as units of C Company, 2nd Ranger Battalion, attempt to gain a foothold on Omaha Beach.

I hope to have it ready in a week or so. Then some testing. It takes a LOT of revising to remake and rename all of those single man units!

It looks like it should do well. Interested?

"Anywhere but Here," the opening scene from Saving Private Ryan, the landing of C Company, 2nd Ranger Battalion, at Dog Green Sector, Omaha Beach. This one is rough, and one feels the loss of single man units. It is down and dirty.

You can find at the Gamer's Depot, and also at old Bernie's hangout, The SPWAW Depot.

How about something from Guadacanal Diary?I can think of the part where the Marines recieved intel about the Japanese at a villiage and landed a group to check it out,only to have them all cut down(except for one man) in an ambush.Or better yet the latter fight for the village itself.

Theres also a movie about marine raiders,but i can't remember the name off hand,where they are transported by submarine to a Japanese island to destroy some facilities there..Oh yeah the movie is Gung Ho!

Merrill's marauders also had a couple good fight scenes.Same with Hell is for Heroes.

Not sure if you’re referring to these episodes, but if so, check out these two scenarios from WB; they are in the official 8.0 scenarios list:

#075 “A deadly trap”
#076 “The search”

Thanks, Resisti! Yes, they are there.

I want you all to try this newest one, "Anywhere but Here." I normally spend two-five days designing a scenario. THis one took nearly three weeks!

But it was worth it. It is a very gripping, heart-rending version of the landings of the Rangers (and the MC-SE team) on Omaha Beach.

Initial reports are good. I think you'll find it quite unique, challenging and very stirring emotionally. It took me three tries to win it and I designed it [X(]

Should be up at the Gamer's Depot or you can find it here.

Goblin is doing a very top-notch after action report on the battle.

Maliki, the scenario, "Deadly Diversion," Scen051 is the remake of Carlson's Raiders invasion of Makin Island, the one portrayed in the movie, "Gung Ho." It is complete with rubber boats and the journey across the island itself. I think you will enjoy it.

If you have version 8.0 or above, check out Scen051. That will give you what you are looking for.

If not, download it from this topic below.

Well, I guess not. No way to have an attachment here. I'll put it up under separate topic.

Thank you Sir! I was not aware of this.

For those interested, Anywhere but Here is now posted and available. It is another chapter in the saga of SPR...this time Omaha Beach. You won't forget this one!

Another Must Make is "Battleground." Band of Brothers is top notch, but this movie, made before Korea, is an all time classic. It is the story of the 101st at Bastogne. You really should see this one.

Originally in black and white, a colorized (and well done version) also exists. I have both. It is a Must See.
