First one i make

[gingertanker]

Hi.

This is the first scenario I made and i would like opinions on it. It Israel Vs. Egypt in 2010.

Todah Rabah

I played and got a decisive victory. I stayed off the roads and went 'south' on the map and came out in the area marked hovet. There I met the main enemy force and dispatched them. I headed 'north' and took their main camp. I was surprised by their reinforcements but had left 3 Merkava's and a Peten in that area and that was enough to destroy them. It was fun but maybe a little too easy. Maybe some more ATGM's for the Pharohs troops. :-)

Anyway thanks and keep up the efforts.

hmmm... yeah actually i was surprised at how easily the MK3s handle the M1s...Shouldent have been surprised by the enemy it was in the briefing though:). I shall give the Egyptians some more punch. Thanks so much for the feedback.

[gingertanker]

OK, I made the Egypt a little stronger...Hope this will get it a bit more challenging.

Who needs the stinking briefing :-) I actually scanned it and winged the attack. My bad.

I too was surprised on how easy it was to kill the M1's. Maybe the US sells them faulty tanks. :-)

I will try the next version later thanks.

[gingertanker]

dont you know you always read the "enemy" part?

[cbreedon]

Could be faulty intelligence :-).. When I play your 2nd version I will make sure to be aware of their reinforcements.

By the way, here is a scenario that I made a while back, not a tanker one but an Israeli based one you might enjoy.

[gingertanker]

oh yeah i have that one. very good scenario.

[cbreedon]

Played your 2nd version tonight. It was harder. More missles flying about. I got a decisive victory but this time but I lost a Merkava and an APC. :-(

[gingertanker]

War is hell. Israelis are supposed to be able to win this one decisive, if the player is good. Do you think its still too easy?

[cbreedon]

I think it is probably OK. I have been playing for years and I know where the reinforcements will be showing up. Maybe add an air strike. Those always add another dimension to things. I am very surprised on how badly the M1's perform vs the Merkava's. Anyway I like modern Israeli based scenarios. If you have anymore ideas, please let us hear them.

[gingertanker]

I may have a few more...:)

[gingertanker]

OK, i have another one in the making. But only cbreedon bothered to even check this one out... So Im not too thrilled:)

Don't get discouraged.


Do you make your maps from real topographic maps?

[gingertanker]

Don't get discouraged.

thanks. Ill see if the next one gets some attention. i promise to have it done by saturday.

Do you make your maps from real topographic maps?

No sorry. Im thinking of the tactical situation i want to creat for the player and than make a map for it. But I do know the areas we are talking about in an intimate way. The maps represent an avrage piece of that ara not a specific piece.
Would you be more inclined to play them if i did use topographic maps?

In case your intrested the new one im working on is again, Israel Vs egypt. I know i just did one of thse but they are the perfect enemies, in the perfect theatere. the desert is like a sandbox for tactics. The sscenario will start as a special forces raid and turn to a(hopfully) very brutal combined arms assault.

[cbreedon]

I am looking forward to it. The Special Forces piece sounds interesting.

I was asking mainly because I'm looking to work with a topographic mapmaker. Unfortunatly there's not many about.
And the ones there are, have thier own projects to concern themselves with.

I have an idea for a campaign where the player gets muajahadeen militants,and has to fight all the various forces in Afghanistan/Pakistan allied against them.
I guess I could just make fantasy maps,but players seem to enjoy something that touches on reality more.

[gingertanker]

Im more intrested in the reality as far as the tactical situations.

[gingertanker]

Ok. My second scenario is almost ready. I know it took much longer than I said but there is alot going on with school, work, and this situation in Gaza. I will try and have it somewhere during this week. It is a commando raid that turns into an armoured assault.
