ASL as a derivation for some considerations...

Greetings, As per discussions via Teamspeak , I have offered to "interpret" from the model of ASL (Advanced Squad Leader) , arguably the most thoroughly designed WW2 Tactical Boardgame, to derive useful mechanisms for consideration for use in SEOW. A few parameters are necessary to make th...

Question Re : Modification of SEOW Campaign Maps

I hope I am not reviving old questions , but I would like a little specificity regarding what can be done with maps that are already digitized for SEOW. 1) What changes can be made without compromising functional playability? 2) Is there a step by step tutorial somewhere as to how one could alter an...

Operation Toenails - A Campign Idea for SEOW

First of all , I do not want to appear as someone who abandons one idea for another without following through the first to completion. I have every intent to pursue "The Bitter End 1945" , in fact it is much closer to my own realm of interest being in the NWE Theatre. That being said , tho...

Hey 4Shades, Not intending to nitpick , but I suggest that using AO or AAO (Aerial Artillery Observer) would keep the O (Observer) free for when a ground based unit is given the same capabilities - and I suspect that in the future some enterprising SEOW modder will want to do so. Just a suggestion. ...

Regarding Item 6 - Ground Unit Skill progressions. Would it be possible to add a layer of logic to Anti-Aircraft fire based on experience/skill called "Correct Target Identification" or something similar so that AA Units do not always correctly identify friendly vs enemy aircraft. This was...

Hey All, If this is too pretentious from an SEOW non-participant (so far) , please ignore this post. I have 2 considerations for you to attempt to include in the SEOW version to be compatible with HSFX 7. 1) MINEFIELDS IN SEOW I know there has been discussion before but I did not find any resolution...

Regarding AA weapons...?

I believe I read a thread discussing this previously , but I don't recall the reply. In any event the answer may have changed since the query was originally posted. -Are AA weapons in the game able to target ground/sea targets as well as aircraft ? -Is there an adjustable slider in the SEOW planner ...

Re: Factory Production in The Bitter End

Thanks for your thoughts Armwaar. I take your meaning re: factory production insignificance vs the scale of the campaign. Quite frankly this is my own concept rather than historical , but if I may say so it is based on serving a specific supply need for two historical units in one case , and to prov...

Bridge Weight Limits - is this possible?

I was just surfing over at SAS , and saw a request for a JagdTiger TD. The light immediately started flashing in my head. Firstly does IL2 include a weight consideration in its Vehicle properties file? Secondly , if so , how difficult would it be to apply weight restrictions to bridges in SEOW? This...
