Dear Forum,

I managed to complete my first scenario (minor victory over the AI - so most likely this means that the difficulty level was not hard eno�gh :-)) - and now I want to test my skills in _the_ large scenario - so from December 7, 1941 and onwards.

Following the forum I can see that there are some discussions on the stock game - and its difficiencies with regards to A2A combat etc. - and also that other (and nicer maps) are available.

As I see it, I need to decide on which mod to play before I start a game - and also which map.

Questions are:
Which maps are the nicest? (well, there are no true answer here - but opinions, please). And are all maps compatible with different mods?

Mods - what are my options? Which are the best? Most updated? Opinions, please.

I know that I cannot expect to find one answer to this - more like a discussion. And that is what I welcome.

Salutations

CHS, RHS, B-Mod, Nik-Mod...take your pick...

As for maps, either Andrew Brown's or CobraAus (CHS and RHS respectively) or for stock game SubChaser's map mod.

CHs is probably best stable, widely used mod.

Nik and B-Mod both address specific issues (a2a)

RHS is also very good and certainly usable, but it does get changed all the time.

If you decide to check out Nikmod, there's a FAQ included inside the ZIP file that contains a list of changes. (of which A2A modifications are but one)

You might want to try a campaign game with stock first before trying a mod. That way you get a good feel, then can try a mod and make a proper comparison of their attributes.
