Actually, you already used Horses as Mobilizers - when you made Cavalry ...
So individual mounts are covered - now Wagons need to be adressed too.

Actually, the fact that you put Cavalry in led me to peek into your Mod and look for those Wagons in the first place ...

Cheers!

Ok...right, by I don´t intend cavalry to work simply as mobilizer. These are mounted rifle squads with high mobility and better recon values. Will will need the horses (we can call the wagons...I can do this change) to carry equipment (like mortars or guns). Do you have any other suggestion for the mod?

Any masterfile being made "official" implies a high degree of quality, completeness, resolution of legal issues, legally-obtained pictures, etc. I know that my own masterfile could never be sold as part of a commercial product.

Status: offline 		It seems this has never been a huge issue for TOAW. Maybe different for AT? Also, I was not implying an increased retail price for added master files, specially since exactly the same information is included in any scenario distributed with the product, or, for example, from the scenario bank. It was a humble proposal to make lifer easier on the hard working scenario makers.

This is the way TOAW has worked for a long time. As scenarios, and in later releases databases, reach the level at which they are considered "complete", they have been added to the release package of the product.

Also, did you put your masterfile in the scenario bank? If yes, it is part, if not sold as a part of, a commercial product

-Thank you, I will try to expand my mod to reach the 80´s. What takes most time is the time I spent to study the evolution of naval warfare, in order to create the new units. A WWIII expansion would be a big challenge, since USSR and USA had very different units. While the USA, for instance, had nothing similar to a Backfire armed with long range cruise missiles, or pure interceptors like the MIG-25/31, the USSR lacked specialized combat helicopters like the Apache, Aircraft carriers and naval aircraft. But I think I can deal with this.

If eventually my mod became well accepted, I would be happier if Vic added some features of the new advanced masterfile to it.

Only one symbol for each of these units. Could use WWII like symbols for tropedo bombers, flying boaats and rocket artillery. Jet planes are generic (something with swepr wings, maybe). Coastal artillery would be simply an emplacement with a gun.

Status: offline 		-The mod is being playtested human vs human. It seems up to now that the mod favors strongly the defender in the first stages (up to WWI). Taking cities results in massive losses for the attacker, even if the city is surrounded. Pre assault bombardment seems more effective to destroy the city than to inflict causalties in the defenders. I´m considering an increase in the bonus for concentric attacks. Naval combat seems ok up to now. Let us know how the introduction of tanks and aircraft will change gameplay.

Good news, artillery is working well in preparing attacks against cities. No medieva warfare, fortunately....
