For this time period...when Weimar was, to a certain degree, abiding by the Versailles treaty?

No. From 1920- 1932, the German navy was confined to coastal waters. The KM only began with Hitler's accession and even that was slow. Germany had a "black" Reichswehr and Lustwaffe under Weimar but it's easy to hide an airplane or a vehicle, not so a cruiser or battleship.

Silly Rabbits.....

I meant that now that Tanker is done with WPO he can start with a Jutland scenario.....or even a WITA (war in the atlantic)

Failing that.....Matrix could embark on my master plan which would include War in the World and completely encompass the globe and all major and minor powers. I think 5 km hexes should be sufficient and we will need to have a rework of the land combat routines.

The game could cover both WWI and WWII, we would need complete control over R&D, economies etc.....

1 day game turns which should allow you to complete playing either by PBEM in about 5 - 8 years

Cheers

Look for a Russo-Jap War scenario and/or a War Plan Red scenario first...

My point was, mostly, that there's not going to be a European version of this.

Actually, there could be if they want to go crazy and do the war plans against the RN and/or French. Your drean could be 1940: Brits anf French surrender, handing all or parts of their fleets to the Germans.

Actually, my favorite would be War Plan Black. France surrenders in 1916, and by 1918-1919 The USN and Hochseeflotte clash in the Carribean.

I've always wanted to get the series, but unfortuneatly don't have the time to play board games, or anyone to play them with. I'll probably pick them up though, they look pretty good. Their Plan Orange game isn't sold anymore though, so I guess I'll have to make do with mine

Yeeees, but that would require a humongous bit of work, not the least of which would be the drawing of a new map, exactly the size of the current WitP/WPO one. Two brave souls on the WitP forum have already tried their hand at such a thing, and FAILED.

Avalanche Press' War Plan Orange is set in 1930 and only covers the waters around the Phillipines.

Their War Plan Black scenario is similar to the one you discuss--lots of High Seas Fleet goodness in the Carribean

War Plan Red is set in the early 1920s--the map covers the US East Coast, from Newfoundland to Bermuda.

War Plan Gold is just coming out--it covers war with the French in the Carribean.

Most of these have all sorts of "what-if" ships, which is their primary attraction I think.

No definate answer yet. Right now I'm working on the addon/scenario pack, containing the French, Russian, and maybe German navies, 30+ new aircraft, a redone transport system, and somewhere between 8-12 new scenarios. Since a good portion of it is focusing on new planes and the historic aircraft carriers (in addition to even new never were battleships, hypothetical cruisers, and such), I'm calling it "War Plan Orange: Twilight of the Gods".

RJW would be possible, War Plan Black would be interesting, but finding a reason for the Germans to fight in the Pacific rather than the Atlantic is difficult. The best idea I've come up with is where Britain and France are defeated in 1917, and the German Hochseeflotte is deployed to protect the original German Pacific bases, plus newly ceded French possesions. Then, with war in say 1922 or 1923, it should be plenty of time for what if German battleships.

But right now, an expanded 1920s database is first on the list, then we'll go from there.

War Plan Red, with an expansion of Crimson, and elements in the Pacific [Australia was Pink, India something else]. Now that would be cool.
