World War One Mod! - Warhorse - 07-11-2016

Hi All!

At long last, I'm happy to announce a World War One Mod is being made available to you all who

are interested!!

Many years ago, I believe it was 2005, Paul Adaway came up with this mod based on West Front.

He enlisted the help of the following:

Wyatt Kappely
Mike Amos
Chris Mee
George Smithson
Rod Coles
Huib Versloot
Mark Mcdougall
Gary Tiger21(??)
Chema(??)
Andrew (no last name)
Erik (no last name)

We worked on it for quite a time, then after awhile it just kind of fizzled out. I tinkered with it on

and off as time allowed updating graphics and with the help of Wyatt made a few more advances. I

tried to get in touch with Paul over the years to no avail, to see if he had any interest in continueing

this work, as I thought it was fascinating!

A little while ago, I was burning to play against someone, and having made a few scenario's

decided to only make it available to a few friends I could trust to not let it out, and we have been

playing a team game and scenario's amongst ourselves for a few months.

Out of the blue today, who of all people responded to a PM I had sent out long ago, but Paul

Adaway himself!! He told me to go ahead and release it with his blessing, to which I was thrilled,

no longer feeling like I couldn't let this out without his ok, as a matter of honor. I ran the idea past

my Chief of operations, Jason Petho, to see if it was ok to release, as I didn't want to overstep any

bounds with future game developement, and he ok'd it as well, so here it is!

The campaign generator works, as well as the battle generator, and there are quite a few scenario's

as well. I sincerely hope you all enjoy this game as much as I do and start PBEM'ing the heck out

of it. Gas is fired, if available, by hitting the ALT button while in plot mode. Artillery is not very

accurate, so be very careful how close you plot to your own lines! Observation Balloons are the

key to accuracy, so any scenario design should include a few of these each side. They do not

move, but have a heght advantage to see out to full visability.

The UI is the old interface, I'm afraid, I can't update it as I'm no programmer, and since there are

gas and other routines involved, I can't update it to 2.02 standard as my Korean War, but this game

rocks!!

Download this into your Matrix Games\John Tillers Campaign Series structure, so it will be C:

mods folder to use with JSGME which is in the game, they are 3D textured terrain, 2D terrain, and

Last shot for now, just a small section of the map of Lyck, in what was East Prussia, now Elk, Poland. This 128x88 monster was made with the help of Google Earth with a hex overlay!!

Hello...

Great! A quick question, I dl'd the 1.1 and installed it. I noticed though that I don't have an 'upper' toolbar. But in the pictures posted it is present. I probably did something wrong, but what? Or is it not available in this mod?
