Red Front for ToT

[fairline]

Thanks again Sarsstock. Please keep the wording exactly as it is on Red front for MGE: 'Scenario by Captain Nemo with the participation of Alex the Magnificent'. Don't make reference to me or any of the others involved in this community project

EDIT: Perhaps you could have the additional byline: 'Redux by the Scenario League'. That should cover everybody's contribution to this project.

Couldn't have said it better myself

I realize the title is the least important part of the scenario, so many apologies for taking up so much of the thread here. Now this is the style I'm considering using for Red Front ToT. Its for the graphical update of 2194 Days of War, known as "2194 Days of War Redux", which to date has been downloaded by a grand total of........ zero people.

[fairline]

No need to apologise Sarsstock - the title is an important part of building the atmosphere of a scenario. Keep on posting

I like the general layout - perhaps 2/3 Russian posters on the right of the title and 2 German ones on the left would be appropriate. I think Cyrillic script would look good as well, perhaps with a few reversed 'E's thrown in to give that Russian look

[fairline]

OK chaps, I've completed a first pass at the unit and terrain graphics. I'd like to share it with team members to get their views and suggestions for changes.

Curt and Harry, I know your e-mail addresses; Agricola would you mind PM-ing me yours and Sarsstock, I'm afraid I've lost yours after my last computer died on me, so PM me if your interested. Is anybody else involved actively who I've missed out?

Nice one, Fairline!
This is one I have been looking forward to seeing!

@Sarsstock:
You are the undisputed title king!

Am I correct in assuming that in TOT it is possible to spawn 200+ units per turn at random locations by using "COUNT=" and "RANDOMIZE". If so, the German Stalingrad and Caucasus offensives in '42, the Kursk operation in '43 and the defence of Germany in '44-'45 can be made appropriately stronger without having to alter much else.

Curt, techumseh or anyone else who knows, could you please provide guidance. I'm basing the quote on a quick read of one of the Market Garden EVENTS files.

Additional question

In COUNT=X, what is the maximum that X can be?

[fairline]

Units sent to Curt, Agricola and Harry. Sarsstock, if your interested let me know your e-mail address.

[Sarsstock]

Here's a thought, I've checked with multiple online translators and they all seem to agree that the Russian translation of the phrase "Red Front" is "Êðàñíûé Ôðîíò".

Perhaps I could use that as the main title text and in brackets with only slightly smaller lettering underneath the english translation along with the rest of the text you provided me with. Then again, such a graphic might end up looking too cluttered.

[Sarsstock]

Oh yes, and although the propper russian text did not show up on Poly take my word for it I do have the actual Russian characters on my PC here.

[curtsibling]

Units and files are received - All I can say is blimmin' heck!

Some truly cool work!

I'd be a little careful trusting online translators. I'm sure the individual words translate correctly, but I don't know if it's the proper translation of the phrase... There are a few Russians in the OT... Then again, maybe I'm just a little paranoid.

The macro.txt says the maximum is 255.

[AGRICOLA]

Thanks. That fact opens up a lot of options when there is a need to create more than 1 or 2 units during a specific turn.

A couple of friends of mine are / know russian. I can ask them to translate Red Front.

[Sarsstock]

Yes, perhaps having an actual Russian translation would be better. Fairline those units are just incredible. And Curts new cities are going to go really well with the style.
