What Next?

[Case]

I vote for AfrikaKorps, making the chart:

Red Front 1.941 (New map): 4
Stalingrad 1942 (Urban warfare): 3
Finnish-Soviet War (Finnish side): 1
Ardennes 1944 (American side): 0
Ardennes 1944 (German side): 1
France 1940 (German side): 1
Afrikakorps (British or German?): 5
Battle of Britain (British side): 2

I can't see how the Ardennes would make a balanced senario, basically once the weather cleared the Germans were doomed.

Here is my vote:
Red Front 1.941 (New map): 4
Stalingrad 1942 (Urban warfare): 4
Finnish-Soviet War (Finnish side): 1
Ardennes 1944 (American side): 0
Ardennes 1944 (German side): 1
France 1940 (German side): 1
Afrikakorps (British or German?): 5
Battle of Britain (British side): 2

[Captain Nemo]

Adding the omitted votes of S_Palpatine, Cockney, Eternal the current score is:

Red Front 1.941 (New map): 4
Stalingrad 1942 (Urban warfare): 6
Finnish-Soviet War (Finnish side): 1
Ardennes 1944 (American side): 0
Ardennes 1944 (German side): 1
France 1940 (French side): 1
France 1940 (German side): 0
Afrikakorps (Both sides): 5
Battle of Britain (British side): 3

Allard, I agree with you historically but practically I must say that I would prefer to attack another WWII scenario with 90% odds of success than throwing myself at a completely new subject and burning out midway. Let others with a passion for other times make those other scenarios:

BeBro, Medieval times
Jesus, History of Spain
Stefan, Ancient times
Allard, Dutch scenarios

The Hastings scenario was on my todo list for purely artistic reasons: Making a scenario that looks completely different using graphics from the Bayeux tapestry (Of which I have a 1/8 scale full reproduction)... It would be fun, but maybe not that playable and it would take a HORRENDOUS effort because every graphic would have to be changed.

All the ideas I propose above are past the 50% design mark because I have most of the units, the terrain, the ideas, the books and the knowledge... Just need to slap the scenario together

About this survey it never ends and it's just an opinion poll, not a mandate for me to do whatever gets most votes, because my vote counts for 500!

I am talking most about the Battle of Britain because it's an idea I just came up with and have not discussed here before. What makes the most sense is Red Front because I already have the map. And the entire structure for it.

France 1940 (German side): 0
Afrikakorps (British or German?): 1
Battle of Britain (British side): 2

Afrika Korps is a very good subject.

Battle of Britain sounds good also but aircraft in this game aren't used all that well by the ai.I wonder what ideas you could come up with to make it good.Day and night is good starting idea.I like it.

Ever do anything with Operation Market Garden?Lots of logistical possibilities.Many scenarios in a scenario type thing.

I know.How bout the entire 2nd world war from start to finish?Now that would be ambitious.

[Chris Kirchgasler]

I want Red Front 1.941, if my opinion is of value.

If you decide to start fresh, though, mark me down for Afrikakorps -- that would be very interesting.

[C0ckney]

Ahem,

My Starlingrad vote was not counted

[Leonidas]

They are all excellent choices to choose from. I hope eventually most of these will be done But for the next scenarios I would LOVE to see a Battle of Britain and an Afrika Korps scenario.

I love defensive scenarios, and I loved Red Front for that reason - just awesome. I think Battle of Britain would make a terrific defensive scenario - really make it hard - give the human a real challenge. This scenario opens up so many possibilities...

Also I think an Afrika Korps scenario would be terrific. Have a new map of the entire North Africa! Fight your way to the Suez; try to eliminate Malta; etc.

Red Front 1.941 (New map): 4
Stalingrad 1942 (Urban warfare): 6
Finnish-Soviet War (Finnish side): 1
Ardennes 1944 (American side): 0
Ardennes 1944 (German side): 1
France 1940 (French side): 1
France 1940 (German side): 0
Afrikakorps (Both sides): 6
Battle of Britain (British side): 4


Keep up the great work Captain Nemo

Okay, can you be bought?

[Cal]

...wait, did I vote already? I can't remember...

[Captain Nemo]

I think you withheld your vote Cal until you heard more about the choices.

Kcbob, why did you replicate that post? I can't be bought, I do this for fun only... Contrary to most scenario designers here I don't really hope to ever make any money at it
