So Carrier Force /Strike is officially dead ?

No post about it since Feb 2009 ... last development diary update too .. Feb 15 2009

As for Carrier Force, unfortunately Justin Prince has little to report other than that some progress was made last year. He's currently waiting for the new scenario editor to be completed so that he can create all the scenarios for the game.

Yes, Mike Wood and Justin Prince both had real life interfere with their work on CF, so it's not going to happen (unless Mike at least were to come back to the project).

Thanks Joel,
sorry to hear that the project is dead in the water so to speak and I wish Justin and Mike all the best.

Thanks for providing me (and others) with countless hours of absorbing education / thought provoking entertainment with your products. We all owe you a debt of gratitude for bringing wargaming to the these heights.

You guys got me interested in programming so I'll continue to program and develop my own Carrier game variant (seminal stages) as I guess there isn't going to be an open source release on this (Nor would I expect one).

Thanks again

Status: offline 		I too wish 2by3 would jump back in the tactical realm...we need a good fresh uber WWII tactical (until then I will happily play WinSPWW2/SPWAW and HPS/JT SB games). That said WITE Quartermasters edition sounds like a lot of fun....potatoes over here...petrol over here....oh no, vodka production is falling behind!

I've never been able to get into Witp 'cause more than Toho i feel iam the japanese minister of weapons, ammunition and logistics and i get tired...too much overwhelming

+1 This sounds like PACWAR 2. Please make it.

We are thinking of doing a War in the West 1943-45 game, using the same scale as WitE. We then hope to link the two games together somehow. Eventually we'd also like to do a North Africa game, and link everything together. Add France 40 and you're getting close to War in Europe.



I don't consider myself a fanboy, but I could be persuaded to be if all this comes true.

Status: offline 		I'm all for it. I think that the best approach would be to greate "master modules" (for example: War in the West 43-45) and then add shorter campaigns (France '40, Poland '39, Sea Lion '40) as a sort of "scenario pack", or DLC, for the related master module. It would be a rare issue where the idea of DLCs works with a wargame, IMHO.

Anyway, I hope that the engine will be developed further: it deserves it. *WE* deserve it :D

Well that's a shame maybe i can find a way to help being a testing for another 2by3 game. :)
