Anyone following the "Help playtest my SP: Modern Mod" in the general WAW forum: If you have Jamie wood's OOB's for modern US and Soviet and are willing to help out in development, let me know. I have a scenario under way, editing the sides, naturall fictional encounter in Russia. Please read the thread and if interested, drop me a line at:

binglesh@chartermi.net

Definitely needs a H2H test, I prefer PBEM, this is also definitely experimental so be prepared to restart the battle - maybe several times.

Yours for louder and better boom,,

I'm getting proper helo graphics into the game now and its looking better and better.

No takers on a PBEM game? Lots of fun flipping missiles from 30 to 40 hexes rnage. I had Hokums versus Comanches and Apaches - chased the Ruskies clean off the map at the cost of one lost chopper.

Yes, we had an air-to-air dogfight - in WAW. Where else do you get that? OTOH my SF detachment loaded on 4 X Blackhawk were wiped out to the man: SA-18 is nasty, very much so. See right through smoke. Must have radar, eh? (Yeah, I think they do.)

Then I got the Sov T-90's with my A-10 Warthogs. Four A-10's, four dead T-90's in one pass - luck of the roll, it most often doesn't go that well. But it sure got the Russian commander's attention I would bet.

Bump - Guys, I really need help in testing the modern OOB's and the graphics changes I am making. I have helo graphics for three US types thus far and will shortly have same for Soviet. I will also be doing more appropriate rotor sounds for choppers, ditto chain gun and Vulcan-type gunfire wav files.

Isn't ANYONE interested in modern warfare? Besides Jamie and myself? I am planning a Fulda Gap type of scenario where Sov airborne makes a drop behind the lines to pin down an American garrison. Then a few turns later when Sov CAS has cleared a path to the DZ the big Sov Hind choppers will arrive with light tanks and BMP's - yep, the Soviets did have, might still have, helos large enough to carry the special light tank version for airborne ops.

I'll need help testing, since AI isn't a really test of any scenario that i have found. We particularly need to fine tune the MLRS and mine scattering artillery routines.

Thanks everyone and could someone come to our assistance???

I'm very much interested in modern SPWAW. Let me know what I need to get and where.

Speaking of large helos carrying a lot of troops. It truns out to be too risky proven by the recent shoot down in Chechnya when a MiL-26 was overloaded with ~130 troops and was shot down by one Igla (SA-18?). Similat to what you described with the Blackhawks above.

Red -

Drop me a line at: binglesh@chartermi.net -- we'll get a dialog going about Modern WAW (MWAW??) and take it from there.

Mostly we need WAW people to help with testing - it will involve expermimental PBEM work. If that appeals to you let me know.

Thanks for your interest,

Bing

Bump - I need a regular who doesn't mind a little experimental work. Will furnish modified mech.exe, .shp and OOB files and an easy-to-start scenario, "Pokadanoza" a brawl - a real slugfest - between our guys (US) and Godless Commies.

See missiles take out targets from dozens of hexes! See Comanche, Apache, Black Hawk and Hokum choppers. A-10, Su-17, Su-24 and Su-25 now in authentic icons, blasting tanks and entire platoons into kingdom come!

Drop me a line per above.

Bump Again -

As it stands now, I started with Jamie Woods modified Soviet and US Army OOB's that I called JAM = Jamie's Modern. I am calling the new version MOWAW (MOdern WAW) and will continue to do so as there have been enough changes to classify as a new endeavor.

Update: Accurate graphics for A-10, Su-17, Su-24 and Su-25. Loadouts revised to reflect current payload capabilities. Fairly accurate helo graphics for the Ka-50 Hokum (Werewolf), UH-60 Black Hawk, AH-64 apache and AH-66 Comanche, fixed Black Hawk so that it now evades AA fire and is "stealthy" (to a degree that is). Fixed 4 blade rotor so that it now appears on the helo.

Fixed other bugs, such as sound of MG fire from unit without a MG mount (that one was fun to track down).

Modern WAW isn't a social disease, guys. Isn't anyone out there interested?

Alright I got the hint, quit bumping:D

let me know what i can do, I have alot of resources at my finger tips, not a great deal of time only this last couple of week ends, but i know this game inside and out and like the modern battles

Toss some scenarios and the proper files my way and I'm game.

That's been my problem before--the scenarios or campaigns just don't work out right with the modern OOB's.

e-Mail addy needs the all-caps word removed. Hate spiders.

Bing- You are editing icons in your own way? Making an own game with your friends? That's I have to respect!

How big in file size is this experimental set of files for your modern SP game? I would be interested. Only problem is my time is shared.

I have a modem which tends not to be very fast.
