Is Modern Wars a new game or an expansion?  It seems this and the v1.05 patch are two different things, or what?  I'm looking forward to it, just confused and not finding a good post clarifying the release(s).  



The 1.05 UPDATE is an UPDATE for the John Tiller's Campaign Series.

Modern Wars: Volume I is a NEW game that is two games in one: Vietnam and the Middle East, covering conflicts in those regions between 1948 and 1985.

Hope that helps clarify things.

There will be 50 scenarios for each Vietnam and the Middle East. So 100 in total.

I'm curious. What is the size of your scenario creation/testing team? You're not creating and testing these scenarios all alone, are you?

I am not volunteering to become a beta tester, BTW. No time.

Just asking.

For Vietnam, Jorge Grillo has created the scenarios dealing with the American involvement in Vietnam. I am producing some that deal with the First and Third Indochina Wars.

For the Middle East, Bob Cummings has provided around 5-6 scenarios to be included and I will be producing the rest. At the moment, there are ~44 stand alone scenarios either ready or presently being tested by myself and the other members of the BETA Brigade. I have ideas for the rest; building the maps and doing the research for them accordingly.

Busy, busy, busy.

I know you don't like to give dates... and I understand... but I would think that it is pretty "safe" bet that the 1.05 update "may" be released in 2011 - correct?

Currently, I'm more interested in the 1.05 update and the contents of it. Any details?

Not at the moment, no.

I have designed several H2H approved scenarios:

A Deadly Meet (EF)
Plug a Hole! (EF)
Terror on Tarakan (RS)

Will you include these scenarios in the 1.05 update? They currently reside in the Blitz scenario database.

The United States will have the following Cobra's with different weapon packages, each with a unit graphic as shown below:

67 1 85 12 AH-1G Early Cobra , AH-1G(4H) , Cobra
66 1 85 12 AH-1G Early Cobra , AH-1G(2L2H) , Cobra
71 1 85 12 AH-1G Late Cobra , AH-1G(H2LG) , Cobra
71 1 85 12 AH-1G Late Cobra , AH-1G(2L2H) , Cobra
71 1 85 12 AH-1G Late Cobra , AH-1G(4H) , Cobra

this was during my party days...but i do remember something about 100,000 Chinese "Milita" invading a few provinces in the North. CBS news reported it for a little while then things died down.

While the primary focus is the Second Indochina War (the US involvement, there are a few scenarios that also deal with the First (French) and Third Indochina Wars (China).

The plan is...

NATO vs Warsaw Pact (which will include a number of conflicts: Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Grenada, Falklands, Afghanistan and a number of hypothetical Cold --> Hot type scenarios; Cuba, Middle East, etc.)

Modern Korea

Africa (various African border wars)

I am writing the manual at the moment. It's a HUGE, HUGE task in itself.

Apart from that,

... I have a few scenarios left to build and test for the Middle East that deal with Jerusalem in 1948 and 1967.

... another linked campaign for the Middle East to build and test.

... a few scenarios to build and test dealing with the First Indochina War for Vietnam.

... a linked campaign for Vietnam to build and test.

... a few video tutorials and bootcamp scenarios (with write-ups).

... overall functionallity test.

That's it.

When those are complete, the game will be ready for release as the 1.00 version. As I have mentioned many times before, this will be a living game, so will be UPDATED with additional units, organizations, campaigns, scenarios and features as time goes forth - same as we are doing with the Matrix Campaign Series.

Hope that helps
Jason Petho
