Matrix Games Forums

Hi,
I'm very interested by this game, the scale, the game engine, the period or even the graphism are exactly what I've been looking for.
But I was wondering if the game was only capable of simulating battle for this specific time and place (russian offensive in central europe) or if it was moddable enough to recreate American war in Afghanistan or french operation in Africa.
For Instance Command modern air naval operation (wich is awesome) can recreate a vast array of conflict, is FlashPoint Campaign editor powerfull enough to do the same ?
Thanks for reading !

Us too! [:D]

The system is designed for use to cover conflicts from at least 1939 though near future.

The game is moddable enough to do any 'modern' warfare situation (WWII through future), either historical or 'what if'.

Actually, no we aren't. Our editor is only capable of doing land combat with Close Air Support added in from the editor. There are no ships of any kind in the game, and to my knowledge, CD doesn't plan on adding any. [:(]

Now, if you want to get together on land we can do those!!

The current Orders of Battle (OOB) that come in the editor cover British, Soviet, US and West German forces, from 1979 through 1989. Those can all be modded to add other countries and we intend on adding to the data base for you as we add more content.

Good Hunting.

Thanks for the fast answer !
So i think i ll acquire it, if the game can recreate anything from WWII that's awesome!

Actually when i was speaking of CMANO, i wasnt speaking about the capacity of FC:RS to recreate naval and air battle,CMANO does it very well but just the extended timeline of this one.
If there is CMANO for air and naval and FC for land combat in modern wars, it's perfect !

It may take us awhile to get to WWII. We'll see. That would require a change in scale from the current game. Which is okay, so would several other theaters, like Korea 51 for instance.

REALLY???? [X(]

Yes, of course. I know you weren't. I was joking with you. [:D]

We've come to that same conclusion, it's perfect! [&o]

I see you are new to the forums. WELCOME TO THE INSANITY!!!


We get so intense at times it's good to lighten things up and laugh a bit. Your entire set of comments was very good. It shows that gamers are looking at the combination of games that just became available and what that can mean for their gaming.\

We appreciate all questions, comments and suggestions. I hope to see you here a lot more as time goes by telling us how the game plays for you! [&o]

Yeah, but that would mean bringing the USMC. I dunno know guys...........[8|]

For the current conflict the USMC most likely wouldn't be involved in Germany but would be a good candidate for fighting in Norway along with local and British Forces.

Winter maps, ski troops, heliborne insertions, soviet paradrops, something possibly on the horizon but we can dream for now can't we? [:D]

Of course there would have to an Artic expansion for that.

Norway, Finland, Sweden and USMC. What a combination. [:D]

Hopefully not before an expansion for Central Europe. I still need to see my beloved Canucks take the field.

Canuck's eh?

Relax, they're on the way!
