ww1 scenario idea

[Telescreen]

Um if you are going to start the scenario in a peace env and by the "Black Week" (or whatever that is translated to :S) the nations of Europe declare war upon eachother. Shoudn't the Austrians be starting off the war by moving troops into balkan and into Silezia? The britts won't come into the war until Germany has crossed the borders of Belgium either.
That would be kind of cool.

(sorry for dubbleposting)

Of course I didn't mean Silezia....I was thinking about Galizien in Poland of course, wich will be ocupied by Russians. Sorry!

I'm going to make belgium owned by the british, that way when the germans try to avoid the bulk of the french armies by going through belgium the british will have to declare war.

Great, I've been thinking alot about making a very realistic WW1 scenario, the problem is just simulating the trenchwar. Been thinking about making a stationary immobile "Trench-unit" wich will represent the hard-to-crack trenchline along the german/french border....
Donno if you think it sounds like an idea for your scenario, but I find it very agrivating when (in the prev ww1 scenarios made) the enemies massproduce artillery and aircrafts and NO soldiers at all! :O

How about stackable terrain?
that way you really have to make your attacks/counter attacks much more intense, and it will really bog down warfare if you have to kill 8 stacked infantry one at a time,

oh yes that sounds like a quite nice idea =) one problem might be the fact that the Western Front will be HUGE covering the entire border between germany and france, in this case we'll need about ALOT of cannon foder :P perhaps it would be a good idea to make the Austrians strong enough to handle most of the Russian/Serbian army by themselfs =\ wich of course isn't historicaly correct at all.

It would be cool if you could send me a copy of what you've done ^^ would be nice to get some inspiration

That could lead to some cheesy tactics by the English player, of garrisoning belgium like there was no tomorrow... I'd leave it barbarian and use triggers to toggle the Brit. DoW.

Here are some Screenshots made from a makeshift version that is full of more holes than you can imagine and using the standard ww2 scenario, just to show off a few things
The western front, You can attack france directly and lose many troops, or you can shell the belgians into submission and attack frances soft topside
note: in the final version, belgiums borders will have fortified troops in them,

france's grand medditerranian fleet, 4 dreadnaughts and 3 protected cruisers, will include destroyers later,

the russian baltic fleet,

The Pursuit of the Goeben and the Breslau

Jutland Perhaps?

Looks very good =) Do you have the unit models for each nation finished allready?? Would be cool to see how they look =)

[Patine]

I agree, Erika. Can we have a sneak peak at the units.gif?

I'm thinking that if paris isn't captured before 11-Nov-1918, then the game will end, and germany will lose, but i wan't the option of the war going on longer,
also i will release my units file once i finish this tank
