Upcoming ...

[jim panse]

not the newest theme, i know. Cold War Crisis will be released within the next 4-5 days.

featuring: (1) ussr, usa, nato, yugoslavia, united arab republic, state of israel, arab league + a lot of "neutral cities" ; (2) all this on the map nemo used for his "cruel sea" scenario and (3) a lot of the cold war units moretheless in nemo-style.

just to give you a first impression (self-explaining. the good/bad guys [depends on youor point of view ])

[jim panse]

to keep thing´s goin´ .... the Heartland

[fairline]

You say 'cold war', Jim. What dates would that be?

[Shaka Naldur]

tell us a bit more about the scenario,
is just a war scenario or we´ll also have to launch a space ship?

[DarthVeda]

I think it'd be cool if one way to win was the apollo mission, but that might only be possible in ToT

[The ANZAC]

BTW Cruel Sea was made by Case not Nemo.

[jim panse]

i apologise for my mistake crediting nemo for something case has done.

ok, mainly focused on the area from north america to the middle east with 2 main factions (as you may have guessed .... ): the Soviet Bloc and USA/NATO. then there are some minor powers like Yugoslavia with its own communism and Israel, both depending on the goodwill of both main powers last but not least the muslim world is also divided into two minor powers: the United Arab Republic consisting of Egypt and Syria und the Arab League, reaching from Mauretania in the west to Oman in the east.

the techs, well, let´s say i borrowed them from academia´s Iron Curtain scenario

the units i took from some other creators (for example Danny, Evilcat, Nemo, Fairline; the unit credits will be included in the release version) but are basically the same as in academia´s Iron Curtain (with some minor adjustments (e.g. the Electric Lightning instead of the Mirage III)

well, to make you even more hungrier, another screenshot showing the middle east

and the cities i will use. the first three sity styles are taken from my "World Today" scenario, the 4th one i edited 2 days ago. hope you like it.

the airbases are also a bit modified. i took ´em from Nemo´s "Blitz" scenario.

what do you think about?!

[jim panse]

and at least the flags. all made by me.

I'm pretty sure the RR between Amman and Medina hasn't worked since 1919 or so.

[fairline]

looks good so far Jim. Just to be picky, isn't downtown Montreal on the North bank of the St Laurence?

[jim panse]

thanks for your advice fairline. i´ll move montreal a bit to the north. in the meantime you can watch the US Navy observing the withdrawal of the soviet MRBMs from Cuba.

[greeny]

Looks cool Jim!
But want Volgograd still called Stalingrad back in the Cold War? (refering to second screenshot)

[jim panse]

nope. as far as i know Stalin´s personal cult was abandoned 1956 at the XXth Communist Party Congress by Nikita Krushchev and all the (I don´t know the exact number) I guess 5-10 cities in the USSR bearing Stalin´s name were renamed.
