[MoW:AS] Skirmish Advanced Missions

[Schelle]

Hey folks,

here's the thread for any releases of my Skirmish Advanced Project.
Many of us were a little bit disappointed when realising that you have the same limited troops in every Skirmish mission. No matter which time or scenario. That's kinda...erm...boring!

That's why i started Skirmish Advanced because i love too play around in this awesome Skirmish Maps and they just SCREAM for being improved. So in the End of the Project i hope we have 15(or 16) more diversified Skirmish Maps.

Im using this Post to release new Maps. So just check this one out from time to time.
Additionaly vote for your favorite Nation in Skirmish to prioritize it in further development.
And last but not least - Feedback.

I'm wondering will you try to improve historical accuracy on the other maps? (E.g. There shouldn't be Chaffee's in Normandy, or Tigers and Stugs during battleaxe for example).

[Schelle]

i will try to avoid big historical mistakes yea.
So every map will be a little bit different in terms of units which are available and you will encounter
Dont expect a 100% historical accuracy but more accuracy than in the original missions.

[Schelle]

Operation Battleaxe is now available :P

[Zeke Wolff]

Regarding Operation Battleaxe;

If you haven´t done so already, the Wespe should also be removed, since it came into use first after the North Afrika fighting had ended - best replacement would be the towed 105mm Lh18.

The Pz.Kpfw. IV G did see action in N.A. and should´ve replaced the Tiger I as the "heavy" tank for the Germans.

The Mk. 7 "Tetrarch" didnt see action in N.A. and you really should add the tank that turned the N.A. fighting around for the British, namely the M3 Lee/Grant.

And if we should be really picky... :P the M3A1 Halftrack didnt enter British service until early 1943, almost 2 years after Operation Battleaxe took place - a better replacement vehicle should´ve been the Bren Carrier.

~Zeke.

[Ryan7556]

Schelle did you start working on these before the patch? When I call in reinforcements they seem to scatter instead of running in together towards the call in point as a group. In order to have them run in smooth without problems you'll have to copy the current levels and edit them over again.

Another suggestion for historical accuracy: On battleaxe perhaps you could give the SMG squad the 1928 thompson since that was the common smg used in the North African campaign.

[Schelle]

@Zeke
its kinda hard to make it so accurate when its a 1941 scenario since MoW doesnt offer that much units from early stages of war. but im gonna take a look at Wespe and Pz4G
well the M3 Lee wasnt used in africa before 1942


@Ryan7556
i'm working with the retail version w/o patch yea


so im gonna take a look into battleaxe, ty for the advices

[Ryan7556]

Would you be able to download the latest patch and then build future skirmishes from there? Maybe sometime later you can redo the 1st 2 skirmishes so that reinforcement call ins are smooth?

[Mardius]

It looks freaking good, gonna try it later today Everything improving the single player aspect is a big plus!

[glennji]

nice work :booyah:
