Status: offline 		Hi,

For FPG 2.0 I would suggest the next scenarios / maps:

- Russo / Chinese conflict (present day) and Soviet / Chinese (late 80s)
- Snowed / Tundra maps for winter operations.
- A new Korean war (with the snowed maps, since Red Phoenix is a winter war).
- Arid / Desert maps for middle-east.
- Desert Storm 91 (with arid maps).

Do you think that it will be possible?

Thanks in advance.

From what I understand and have heard all of the areas you mentioned are in the notes for the Flashpoint series. Right now the target is to expand the core game engine and focus first on an expanded Europe theater and then the Mid East. An order of release has yet to be firmed up at this point. I know a couple folks voiced the Russian-Chinese theater, myself included. We'll keep you all posted on where we are heading.

OTS is looking forward to Southern Storm getting released!

Cheers, Rob

As for future scenarios, I'd like to see hypothetical US invasion scenarios featuring National Guard level units and equipment with "partisan" resistance units vs Soviet airborne and tank units. It would be kind of cool to play such scenarios with titles like "Across the Potomac", "Bloody Kansas Part 2", or an "Invasion Amerika" campaign.

Task Force Churchill: In the hour of America's greatest need, the English come to the aid of their American cousins. An advance force of SAS, and light armor units hook up with local resistance/Nat. Guard units to try to secure a beachhead/landing area for an incoming European relief force and elements of regular US Army units that were stationed abroad.

You could have a series of scenarios involving securing landing areas, key road junctions, airports, etc. culminating in the eventual arrival of the large relief force mentioned above.

For those Warsaw Pact fans, who wouldn't want to play some Red Dawn scenarios from the side of the Communist horde?

Status: offline 		I would expand the European Conflict before traslating it to other continent; in my opinion there is still a lot of potential in it; for example, more maps including areas within North and South Europe, other NATO countries participation; as the Red forces advance from Germany to France, Netherlands, Belgium, may be Norway and even neutral Sweden; and including Balkans, Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal; that would give us the oportunity to test differents NATO armies units. Just an idea, in fact whatever is done in a way of expansion or new game in the serie will be welcome

IMHO, Europe's fate would have been decided in Germany, so picking Germany as the primary battleground makes sense. After that, every other attack on e. g. France or the Netherlands would have been like a walk in the park for the Red Army (remember that in this case, they have already destroyed the most precious and powerful Units of Germany, France, Great Britain...). Also, in the eyes of the military commander, french, dutch and german landscapes look quite the same (except Great Britain, because, as we all know, the sun never shines there and it's raining 48 hours a day ). So, i would love to have some different maps and i would love to get the chance to rumble through Washington in my brand-new T-90. And yes, i can't await "Flashpoint: USA" too.

Excuse my english/grammar - 20 years since I left school weren't really helpful ...

I did, and it could be great.

And what about something from Larry's "Vortex"? The book is not one of my favorites, but the African area shows a lot of promise. Besides fictional scenarios, there has been a lot of historical clashes with modern armored elements: Angola/Cuba/SA in Angola/Namibia, Morocco/POLISARIO in Sahara, Lybia/Chad/French in Chad, Ethiopy/Somalia at Ogaden...

Another largely neglected area is India/Pakistan/China. There has been heated historical action there.

The included maps are essentially the same area that TY takes place in, and the equipment is correct for the timeframe of the book.

Cheers!

As would Harold Coyle's "Sword Point", in which Nato and the Soviets fight over Iran instead of Germany. The desert would make an interesting change of scenery.

Status: offline 		A nice example of my desired scenarios for FPG 2:

A small U.S. force is located in Ebersburen. It is the remnant of a company team which has been destroyed in the previous day's fighting. While resting, the commander receives word that a Soviet force of approxemately company strenght (8 T-62s and 2 BMPs with infantry, to be exact) are appraching west along Route 298 and are due to reach Ebersburen within 30 minutes. The U.S. force consists of 1 M60A1 tank, 1 M150 (M113 with TOW), and 1 squad of infantry (2 fireteams with 1 Dragon). The U.S. commander is ordered to prevent the Soviet force from advancing west along Route 298 and getting off the map. (Assume if you will, that there are supply echelons to the west that the Soviets can wreak havoc on if they get to them).


This is an extract of the old superb SPI's Firefight board game manual. An the very reason because I'd like to have infantry units with anti-tanks weapons. At the end of the scenario, the U.S. forces are the M150 and the Dragon fireteam, and the soviets only have 4 T-62s, beeing stucked since moving would be cause total anhilation from the U.S. forces, digged and hidden.

I would like to make this kind of scenarios in a new scenario editor, using own or random maps.

Nevertheless I have had a lot of fun fighting mechanized battles with FPG!!

Emilio.

I had a couple of friends in the Marines who referred to the guys over there as "the speed bump" -- meaning they wondered how long they would last against a million man N. Korean army, even if the bad guys' kit was aging.
