The Scenario Design forum is a forum dedicated to mission design and ideas. It's easy to begin building missions using the in-game editor, and we hope everyone will give it a try.

If you have any questions, this is the place to put them to the team. Or share ideas and tips on how to create great custom missions, and enjoy the admiration of your peers!

We're excited to see what people can create. So what are you waiting for?

I love BA2 but I was disappointed by the small number of campaigns. No Battle of Kiev? No Fall Blau and Stalingrad? Uranus? Warsaw '44? Berlin????? I played the Beta but had assumed that the final release would contain much more content.

Also I think that a focus on battles of decision would be better. The partisan operations are fun, but they are a side show, often a bit slow moving, and the engine is best exploited for depicting large sweeping tank engagements and assaults on defensive lines, IMHO.

On the other hand, I find the urban scenarios a tad large and difficult to see; the buildings hide my units from me. I would go for smaller urban scenarios (e.g. a couple of infantry platoons and one tank) and focus on one or two key buildings, such as the Commissar's House or a key bridge, 5-10 turns max...

I've started playing around with the editor. Not sure if I will ever have the time to build a full campaign, but I do hope someone does, or that these are supplied as add-ons or (better still) in a patch! Ideas include:

- A historical campaign that follows one Panzer Div or one Tank Div through the course of the war.
- AGN, AGC and AGS 1941 campaigns
- Fall Blau to Stalingrad
- Uranus
- Operation Mars
- Warsaw to Berlin
- Sevastopol 1942
- Soviet invasion of the Kerch Pen.

Sorry - I should have started a new thread. Got carried away in the moment :)

A few quirks noted with diagonal movement. Any suggestions/advice?

I made a first stab at creating a new campaign scenario but there's no editing manual. I have some initial questions:
1. How do I add victory locations?
2. How do I set the player's side? It seems to default to Soviets...?
3. Can I create different AI plans?
4. How do I code events?

very quiet here and I don't see many user scenarios or campaigns appearing, which is surprising... I think the game engine is excellent.

Most of the modding work and discussion goes on in the Slitherine forums so I would head over there and take a look.

Cheers

Pip
