Order of Battle: Vision of all campaigns

Post by calmhatchery »

I allowed myself to sketch might look like campaign. Of course this is my point of view only.....:)
First thing: It will be better in the future the make smaller the icon on the world map.
Blitzkrieg campaign
1. Blitzkrieg: september 1939 - december 1941
2. Blitzkrieg Army south: april 1942- december 1943 - parallel
or
3. Blitzkrieg Army north: february 1942- december 1943- parallel
4. Blitzkrieg : january 1944- may 1945 (including Warsaw uprising) - core force from Army south (2.) or army north (3.)
5. Blitzkrieg : western front (june 1944 - may 1945) core force from - III. Italy campaign

Afrika KORPS
I. April 1941 - september 1942 (including to get a CAIRO and Alexandria city)
II. october 1942 - May 1943 (defense of Tunis)
III. Italy campaign - june 1943 - may 1944 (the final battle Monte Cassino)
IIIA - alternative campaign what if....until to 1945

Japanese Campaign:
1. against the China after Morning SUN until to september 1945
2. Against the Burma and India until september 1945
3A. Alternative invasion of India what if.....

I'd still love to see a Japanese Defensive campaign from the Solomons to Gilberts to Marshalls to New Guinea, Rabaul, Truk, Marianas, Philippines, Palau, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Home Islands.

Also, Soviets in Manchuria.

I would much prefer it if you didn't post the same thing over and over again in at least three different threads. This one suffices, you can simply post links elsewhere.

Lots of detailed work here, you're enthusiastic. I do think, however, that the plan is unrealistic and we're not getting campaigns at such a level of resolution, so to say. I think there are a few cornerstones that are going to happen: North Africa (German campaign), Eastern front (Soviet offensive all the way to Berlin), and a US campaign or two (Torch, Italy, Normandy, all the way to VE-Day); the rest depends on how things develeop and where the Artistocrats think other interesting campaigns could fit in well. I AM hoping for a Spanish Civil War one some day :)

Nice effort, though. Is that your Afrika Korps icon concept (the one in the second screen print) or did you get it from a preview someplace? The devs should adopt that one, when the time comes. But I have to agree with mhladnik for another reason aside from (or related to?) his comment about "not getting campaigns at such a level of resolution": The map would look too busy and confusing with so many icons.

Very nice. I hope the devs do use it.

Better. Personally, I could live with that. Of course, it depends on whether the devs would indeed open up "sub-campaigns" of the main campaigns the way you describe.
