Enjoy, duke o' york!
And give them pepperpots hell!

UPDATE:
Will be finishing the rules file this week and getting the icon files ready.
Like Extermination, this scenario will be about war and not
building, but will have some aspects of upgrading cities, etc.
Once I have the parts in place, I will contact Mr Techumseh,
to seek the advice of his multi-mapping genius!
These Daleks are getting ready to roll!

Glad to hear it Curt!! What with the new units, terrains, icons and cities topped off with the multi-map feature this might just be the most advanced scenario to date.
On another note I was finally able to put Our_Man's strategy of attacking the Dalek's eastern flank and storming the landed saucer to work just the other day. At first I thought the survivors of this battle would go on to have a role to play in the actual scenario, but I realized that wasn't meant to be when that Virus Bomb turned the Colonel and his brave men into protoplasmic soup
.
Meh, you win some and you loose some I guess.Comment

Heh!
There will be plenty of chances to take revenge on the
dastardly Dalek Supreme in the main scenario...!
UPDATE:
I have been importing maps and making final touches to the tech tree...
I am still filling in a few gaps, but game/label/unit items are looking good!
The ability to jump between worlds will be available to the Daleks, and will
become available to other factions in due course...And each faction now has
a mission to complete (surprise)...! Here are the details....!
The Doctor:
Liberate Earth and destroy or cut off the Master and both Dalek factions from Earth.
The Doctor can lend Humans special techs, including anti-Cyber and anti-Dalek weapons.
He and his companions are searching for the Hand of Omega. A Gallifreyan super weapon.
Davros:
Annihilate the Skaro Daleks and conquer Earth. Perhaps he might team up with the Master.
Davros would also like to take the Hand of Omega too, or even usurp a super weapon
that the Dalek Emperor is overseeing - The infernally powerful Time Destructor....
Dalek Emperor:
Exterminate everyone, especially Davros and the Doctor. He will be unlikely to make alliances.
The Emperor is planning to utilise the Human Factor and destroy Human history, but being an
alien superbeing that always has a backup scheme, he is also planning to create a super weapon.
The Master:
Gain the control of a series of nuclear weapons on the Earth map and destroy Earth. He is helped
by the Sontarans and the Cybermen, two warlike alien races who would also like to see Earth ruined.
The Master and his friends are planning to demolish Earth to radically change the balance of
power, and in the Master's case, just for kicks. The Daleks are unlikely to approve of this!
UNIT:
The United Nations Intelligence Taskforce is up to their necks in an multi-alien invasion
of Earth...It is fortunate that this is exactly what they are trained to fight against...!
The UNIT mission is to fight the Daleks and other foes, assist the Doctor, and to hold the
fort until Earth's desperate scientists prepare a valid counter weapon against the enemies.
Humans:
The Human factions come in two flavours, screaming civilians and Government officials. Both
occupy locations on the Earth map, and must delay or resist the Daleks as long as possible.
The disparate hordes of Humanity must be forged into a valid resistance force and soon,
as the Daleks will make no delays to exterminate everyone. With time, the Humans can be
a real thorn in the side of the Dalek factions, and might even challenge their power!
So to indicate what madness has been going on, here are some new shots of the action!
Citizens are advised to avoid any bleak London urban locations!
There are some dodgy characters hanging around! Up to no good, without doubt!

Good lord this thing will be massive

If you need help making changes to intermap movement — setting up one-way transporters, hexing intermap movement capability or transporter terrain types and locations — let me know (unless you already have Catfish on call). In the very slight chance you didn't know this, a unit's intermap movement restrictions are ignored by the transporter improvement.Originally posted by curtsibling

Thanks, chaps!
This project becomes more fun with each little milestone!
Boco, I would be delighted to ask advice of both you and Tech!
We are 100% spoiled here - With so many ToT scenario genii on the forum!
The one-way transport is interesting...I am working on a plan of what faction can
go where and who can travel between maps. I will be posting this up soon and asking
how to make it possible...If you and Tech are up for it, I would be uber-grateful!

Harry's right about the scale of this agme, your second world war benchmark "Dictator" will have NOTHING on this conflict.
Seeing how I have never made use of or played a scenario in which this map transporting feature is used I'm very curious to see how it will play out in game.Comment

Thanks!
I too am looking forward to using the multimaps!
The continuation of a war from one map onto another is a fun concept!
The only challenge will be to keep unit production under
control, so certain maps don't get swamped with units!
Got the tech icons sorted today, and am putting the
finishing touches to the tech list, and then putting the
final beta-rules together...Then the map construction
and city placement fun begins!

Been working on city improvement ideas and hunting the last bugs from the tech tree today.
And fixing my desk chair, which decided a few months out of warranty to lose a wheel!
Gahhh!
I'll bet Davros would never lose a bump from his Dalek wheelchair!
Anyhow, I have been adding some nice new items to the Dalek ranks, including some hover units!
Here we see some Skaro airborne Daleks about to be jumped by a formidable Imperial squadron!
I only require the Human civilian unit to round off all the characters I need.

There just aren't that many things cooler than a shootout between hover units Curt . Will the desperate forces of humanity have any such hover units? Ones that are built from the captured parts of Dalek reckage in the same way troops were equiped with lasers in Extermination?
Comment

Worry not - These units will be vulnerable to bazookas and lasers, etc!
Comment

The Doctor would use a hoover to defeat the hover ships! I like the idea of an event creating an enemy unit for the humans once enough of that type are killed though.
Comment

Hmmmm....I do like the possibility...
I will if there is any retro-engineered weapon that can be squeezed in and built by UNIT!

Wow, Curt! I turn away for one second (or one month) and you do all this work?! I'm very impressed!
One thing I wanted to note: unless my eyes deceive me, it seems the shadows for the flying units in the last attachment you posted were all different. Some had black shadows, some had gray. Though I have been wrong before...Comment
