I still love this game!

Post by purplehood »

My favorite Campaign is the Japanese Rising Sun.
I feel like a player-made Campaign or a DLC (Pacific Domination) to follow-up the original game would be fascinating and enjoyable.
Suggested scenarios:
- MIdway Redux
- Aleutian Expanse
- Eastern Redoubt (Conquest of the Hawaiian Islands)
As I lack the skills to create my own scenarios, it is my hope that I can either get assistance in doing it myself or encouraging others to make this.

There's a crazy amount of player made scenarios out there so wouldn't be surprising if there were already something along the lines of what you're asking for. Erik made an absolutely outstanding "The Pacific War" 1 vs 1 scenario for example. Heavy emphasis on naval / air aspects with a bit of land stuff around Hong Kong and the Phillipines, one or two other places. It's very very rare for scenarios in which submarines actually serve a purpose and having gotten obsessed with them since seeing Das Boot when it first came out that makes me delighted to encounter one, heh.

In a perfect world I'd welcome something along the lines of "The Russian Campaign" but in North America. Bonus points for making it a counterfactual with the U.S. and Japan (maybe a few U.K. elements helping out) against Germany and the Soviets. Say Hitler chocked on a shnitzel and Fuhrer Rommel decided it made more strategic sense to ally with Comrade Joe. At least, until "other" problems were resolved...

Here is a compilation of all maps made by players. Erik is the absolute king. You will definitely find something there.

The shortage of testers for the user-created scenarios is discouraging.

Actually I have good bunch of regulat players that test my various 2v2 scenarios.
Couldn't have done these scenarios without them.

Goes both ways, testing scenarios is fun too after all :) It took me a bit of time to figure out the best approach for Overlord but once I got a handle on how to play (gotta be super defensive and cautious as the allies) it's amazingly fun. Definitely planning another go at Tarawa, possible some others as well once I wrap up some of my current games. Barbarossa is quite an interesting one too.

I love it too. Only game I play.

I'm so addicted with over 40,000 hours play time, going through campaign after campaign multiple times. Wish there were more single player scenarios. If I can ever help, contact me at ctskelly at gmail.

Are there any other games out there as good as this? Need advice.

Panzer Corps 2 is similar but a bit shallower.

I moved on to WEGO system's games because the IGOUGO system doesn't satisfy me anymore.
