Is it possible, using the editor, to create an entire new battle?

Say I wanted to do France 1940, can I create French Units?

Or, is the editor restricted to Soviet/American/German Units?

If so, can I create entirely new units in those Armies to say build the Battle for Stalingrad or Heurtgen Forest?

Hi Wilhammer - I have just finished speaking to Roger Keating from SSG about this.

As I understand it... you can create new battles with the editor. I am unsure if you can create a new OOB including the French though.. I will check on this for you.

But I know you can create a new battle with the existing forces, so yes you definately can create Starlingrad (I would wait for the official release though - heck there is a scoop!) and Heurtgen Forest.

No one is going to kid you, the editor can be a bit tricky to use and there currently is no documentation for it (although that will be addressed soon one way or another), but after you have played around in it and have got the hang of it.. its fine.

Oh happy days!:D

Thanks for the response.

The editor could very well be the jewel in this product.

No doubt TOAW gained its long legs from its editor, in combination with a very good boardgame like system.

So far, I am enjoying KP. Just finished the tutorials last night.

The game doesnt model real equipment does it?

So I wouldnt think a new OOB would be too difficult

Umm no it doesnt.. I think from memory you can create new armies.. but I just dont want to confirm it because Im not 100% sure.

I have posted an article in this thread.

It will show you how to get a new scenario started.

I will add to it as time permits.

Cheers Chris
