Spanish Civil War

[bcnkor5]

hi guys

here i am.

i started some days ago to play with the scenario editor ... i wanted to draw the map of spain .....

then i decided to add all features required by the game to have a playble map.

Then i inserted some units, but i didn't really wanted to use vichy french troop for el Bando Republicano ... so i started to design a first unit. I finally managed to fly a Breguet 19 for the FARE (!) ... it was the first time ever ... i had so much fun that i want to go on!

so i told to myself ... maybe a Spanish Civil war scenario played at strategic level could be of interest!

here is Madrid

then Barcelone with XYZ fortification

and Gibraltar

I solved my problem with the starting screen,

Senzanome.jpg (155.05 KiB) Viewed 5816 times

in the gamesetup file i just added the line

<option value="espana.pzscn" selected>Espana</option>

instead of

<option value="espana.pzscn" selected>IDS_SCEN_ESPANA</option>


and it worked ... but i don't know if this will bring any problem in the future ...

[cicciopastic]

Here the first unit placed (it starts in sevilla)

As u can see i changed some statistics because the maroccan tabors will be the strongest inf at the beginning of the game and i want to add 6 degree of militias!
this worries me a bit, because later in the war there will be stronger infantry units .... but i will see in the future: maybe i will scale down again this unit strenght

what do u think??????


if u want to know more about this unit u may find some informsation here

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_C ... n_Espinosa

NOTE: i know that this Column should be rather a legionaire unit, but i red somewhere that he had a maroccan tabor with him ... anyway i may change it if anybody will give more detailed info to me!

[cicciopastic]

Here the second unit

its a militia just raised ... not a very lucky one: they where sent to sevilla from Huelva and they were armed just of explosives and a few rifles. They had already little hope against the forces that were present in sevilla when they were betrayed by their leader who fled to the nationalist!... if u want to know more about it u may read

just one questione ... i noticed that if i buy a new unit like this i cannot give them trucks nor upgrade them giving any land trasport.

anybody could immagine why?

[cicciopastic]

starting set up for republican militias in Andalucia and Extremadura

9 militias just raised .... will they survive the mighty african Army just airlifted by hitler and mussolini?

hi guys,

i spent some days to make some new units and to adapt them to animation or viceversa ... i prefer this result to the former. Maybe it could be done a better job, but i think i'll keep this set.

if anybody wants to help will be very welcomed ...

cheers, ciccio

[cicciopastic]

PS: the nat. Militias were taken from the stuff u posted here as well as two land transport i included in the scenario (not in the picture). So tks to the ones that already helped.

Good night, ciccio

Nice pictures Ciccio.
Your mod looks promising!. Keep it up!.
My only recommendation is something already mentioned before, try to use the game vanilla icons as base for your new units; in that way the graphic aspect is more consistent and "friendly" to the players. Is not that hard after you are on it, believe me.

Keep posting more updates.

Best regards.

Tks ... words of encouragement are always welcome

i know ... i've been already told this ... but is not easy ... most figures are taken from photos or miniature toy soldiers and colored ... some others from other persons from the forum.

when i tried to update game icons the best resul was this ....

or these

I think u are right even because the most annoying thing about new units is to adapt animations . But at the moment i would like to go on with the setup ... i only populated 2 regions and i have still to add artillery, planes, cavalry and ships. I even wanted to add more tipe of units for the two parties but i will later: there will be time to review all units ... and i always hope somebody will come to help!!

Keep posting more updates.

Best regards.

SURE! and u please continue to interact ... suggestions or remark are very welcome

ciao Ciccio

if any of u have better pics, please send them to me ...

one question ... is possible to customize wheter by season? ... i have too much rain for spanish summers when i try some turns ... and yes the strenght ratios seem to work for the units i created till now

[BiteNibbleChomp]

Weather:

you will need to figure out what each turn is. Then you need to set 'set weather' triggers to 2 turns before to give the game 'time' to send those storms or whatever your way.

For instance, if Turn 6 represents October and Turn 9 December on the Eastern Front, you might do something like this:

Run 1 time | Turn [4,4] | Set weather: 20% cloud, 45% rain, 10% snow, 0% sandstorm
Run 1 time | Turn [7,7] | Set weather: 40% cloud, 5% rain, 55% snow, 0% sandstorm.

Clear will be the chance of 100% - (cloud+rain+snow+sandstorm), so 25% in the first trigger and 0% in the second.

I'll try that

Hi guys,

here are some news:

- i deployed all infantry units south of madrid ... so i had almost half job done
- i found a beautiful page that helped me to locate all artilleries (!) ... not bad .... now i need the units ... i will search all the material you sent me before try anything myself ... all i need is

1) Scheneider 75/28mm gun
2) Vickers 105/22 howitzer
3)Schneider de 105/11mm gun
4) Schneider 155/13 howitzer
5) Krupp 150/27mm gun

if anybody has a suggestion plz let me know. Then i will place costal Gun at Cartagena, el Ferrol and Cadiz ... but i think i will take units by BE if McGuba doesn't mind

- then i am thinking about ships ... i will probably take standard units for all class of ships except for the two class espana pocket battleship ... here i tried to do a couple of examples ... which one do u prefer?

class_espana.jpg (122.7 KiB) Viewed 5580 times

- finally i am thinking to events or quests ... at the beginning of the war some may be Victory Convoy, defence of Badajos, defence of Oviedo and of course the Alcazar (!) in TOLEDO

for all i would like to set some prizes if the quest is completed on time ... but this is just an idea that came to my mind ... do u think it may work???? ... for some quest i have many doubts ... for instance i don't want the republicans to block the victory convoy as that event was a major bust to Franco's revolt (!) ...

for the Alcazar i am even thinking that maybe i could put there a very tough stronghold with a very high defence and no attack ... maybe the icon could be something as the following

toledo_alcazar.jpg (136.43 KiB) Viewed 5580 times

i don't know ... i have a lot of ideas and a lot of informations ... i think the best way to deal with them is just step by step ... i want to end all infantry and artillery set up and have a some try (at the beginning i will place non more then 2 or 3 planes) ... then i want to do some testing

that's all falks ... ciao

for the espana class battleship ....

NOTE the espana is the front vessel

i think this might be a good compromise

[cicciopastic]

Some updates,

tonight i ended the infantry set up, and i am half way with artillery. When i first saw the strategic map i was very surprised ... the units are very spread throughout the map ... i hope this will work: i red many time that, especially at the beginning of the war, it was almost impossible to form a front line ...

here is the nationalist view
