New Dictator - The Latest Attack!

[curtsibling]

DICTATOR IS BACK!

Welcome to the latest version of my humble contribution to the WW2 scenario genre!
This time, I have upgraded the graphics somewhat;
(with some amazing help from your favourite SL creators!)
I have also tried to cram as much WW2 action into the scen as possible;
(while not giving any civ empire a huge advantage...)

This is my most fun work to date, and much time has been spent on the icons and terrain...

I will chart the playtesting and final development on this thread, and I hope to
perfect the scenario with the help of our ever-ready players here on SL forums!

The WW2 genre will never be bereft of fun, if we keep the outlook fresh and add
some new dimensions, as in Harry Tuttle's Atomic Eagle - Hand of Reaper scenario!

But enough of this grizzled, shell-shocked veteran's talk!
I present some graphics to give y'all a taste of what's to come!

Here's the units!

[curtsibling]

Some screenies of various things!

Luftwaffe and RAF clash in the 'Kanal Kampf!'

[curtsibling]

Russian red forces build up in the Urals!

[curtsibling]

Axis forces on the move...Against sheep!

[curtsibling]

Power of the Emperor's navy!

[curtsibling]

Mighty USAAF forces on the attack!

[curtsibling]

Convoy cover as British aircraft fly to the defence!

[curtsibling]

I think you will agree that fairline and Jim Panse have outdone themselves this time!

Also Harry's work was used to inspire the Tiger tank, and perfected by Jim!

Their units rank among the very best in the web!

Without these chappies, there would be no scenario!

[curtsibling]

The civs are as follows:

THIRD REICH
USSR
USA
BRITISH
JAPANESE
COMMONWEALTH
NEUTRALS

Only the Neutrals are not really suitable for play, but you can try them!

The balance will swing between these powers a lot, and if the USA gets into the fight, expect trouble!

I have retained the long range bombers, but given the Axis a rather evil sub now, and made the super BB buildable by all!

Also, evil civs can follow a new tech path that enables them to exploit POWs and captured populaces!

Every civ has an advantage/disadvantage as follows:
Germany - Superior Weapons - Expensive to build.
Japan - Excellent Navy and Army - Low tech civ.
Britain - Excellent Army and Air Force - Perilous situation.
Commonwealth - Good Army - Forces are spread thin.
USA - Industry Powerhouse - Many fronts to fight on.
USSR - Industry Powerhouse - Poor Army/Uncertain situation.

You will find each civs nature as you play!

[curtsibling]

Where am I at with this thing?

Here's the good news!
It is done and dusted - Almost!

I need play-testing info, as I have only played as the Neutrals, Germans and Japanese so far, and it has been fun.

So anyone who wants to playtest, can you pick a certain civ and feed me back on what you find?

I want to make this thing perfect, within the bounds of CIV2!

So, I will post a zip this Weekend! Stay tooned!

Nice to see a new version of this beast Curt! Looking forward (as always) to this one!
And oh yeah, the graphics gets better and better every time.

[Harry Tuttle]

The culmination of a great line of scenarios. Very cool. I'll playtest.

[jim panse]

Curt, dude, I think I can offer some more unit graphics for this one ... check out the Axis & Allies thread

... and for more stuff just PM me, I still have some more stuff hiding

[curtsibling]

Thanks folks!

And, Jim, yes I may call on your help soon!

I will be posting a zip soon!
