What one? xD
Galactic War [star wars based mod in development]
Plastic Mod
or MADCAT? =P i know is MADCAT, hehehee: it's a bit outdated, but it's here:
http://www.massgate....hp?39454,310228 I'll add a new faction to WIC, with new units.
Story for a campaingn is it:
I know that it will be awhile before we get seriously into SP but some general ideas I had for a 5 mission sequence (I figure we should aim for no more than 5-7).
Setting: American Forces attempt to use a nuclear weapon at Cascade falls but it is intercepted by Soviet defenses (S-300 battery). The Soviets push forward and take Fort Teller. Satisfied that Star Wars is no threat the Soviets launch nuclear armed ballistic missiles from mobile launchers around Seattle. The Short Launch time leaves Norad with almost no time to react and missiles hit Washington as well as American missile sites across the Mid West. Meanwhile Soviet submarines take out American nuclear missile subs to prevent retaliation. Other missiles explode at high altitude knocking out communications. With the American government in disarray, communications with higher ups in the military knocked out, and the Soviets making a major push to break out east through the Cascades, and facing heavy Soviet air bombardment and a critical shortage of supplies, American forces begin to withdraw eastwards with the Soviets in hot pursuit.
Missions
1 With a small infantry force, well dug in, fight a delaying action in a steep cascade canyon to allow your battalion to escape destruction and rally up with the rest of the division.
2. After being extracted by helicopter, get shot down in territory recently occupied by advancing Soviet troops. With survivors, escape capture or destruction by Soviet search teams then meet up (accidentally) with local guerillas and participate in the ambush and destruction of a Soviet supply column as it crosses a high mountain pass. Then escape before Soviet back up arrives.
3. An opportunityto return to your unit opens up a couple weeks later in Eastern Oregon. Work with guerilla units to raid a Soviet helicopter FARP and hijack a ride. before leaving, hold off a Soviet counter attack.
4. Returning to your battalion after locating the retreating American forces in Southern Idaho retreating along I-84, learn that Soviet forces, growing frustrated by being unable to draw the Americans into a decisive battle where they can be destroyed and finding it harder and harder to keep pace as their supply lines have become stretched, and increasingly, attacked, have pooled most of their resources to create a fast force of armor and mechanized infantry which aims to outflank the Americans by plowing overland to the South then turning North to cut I-84 and encircle the fleeing Americans. To counter this all the divisions remaining armor is being sent South to attempt the destruction or at least halting of the Soviet force. Placed in command of a tank platoon that recently lost its CO fight an intense meeting engagement tank battle with the advancing Soviet force on open desert terrain in a gap between two mountain ranges in the North East corner of Nevada.
5. North of Salt Lake City the division finally stops its retreat digs in and prepares to face the full weight of the Soviet attack. Communications are finally back up (to a degree) and word has arrived that American reinforcements from the East should arrive soon. Hold the line until they arrive. Possible events to add to this mission include a supporting attack by Canadian air force Tornados (I just think we need some Canadians) and the arrival of large numbers of guerrillas in technicals as back up. When reinforcements arrive, counter attack and destroy the Soviet spearheads.
This series would allow for a variety of combat experiences in a limited number of missions as well as relatively easy map making (no urban maps). On the other hand it doesn't give lots of map variety and is fairly short. It also means that in order for missions to feel realistic the player will have to cope with the following issues:
-Little to no reinforcements most missions
-Little to no off map support (TA)
-Overwhelming Soviet Firepower on some missions (especially #1)
the result I think will give the battles a desperate feel (which I think is good) but will also largely prevent having truly epic confrontations (which some people like).
This series also leaves little room for NATO (though we could always give them a stand-alone mission or two). Any thoughts are appreciated. Feel free to propose a totally different mission sequence too.
Also I know Madmonk had a way of getting NATO into a campaign a while ago so if you'd share that, that would be great. [Tevkid wrote that]
