MONTE CASSINO SCENARIO - carreteroarturo - 10-17-2010 Is there any HPS title covering the MONTE CASSINO scenario?? i thing that one must to be ANZIO 44, but im not sure..... i would like to have the MONTE CASSINO map if it is available. some one can help?? regards, RE: MONTE CASSINO SCENARIO - Mike Bowen - 10-17-2010 There is no scenario or map the reason being it would be too bore a ing and small. Looking at another boardgame on the subject I think it could be done but it would be small 10 by 10 hexes probably plus the terrain and minefields would be distorted. One day given enough time I might have a go at the map but I am not sure it would be worth it RE: MONTE CASSINO SCENARIO - Gasbag - 10-17-2010 I suggested an Ortona '43 (being Canadian) scenario/game a while back but was told that the game scale is just too big to accurately model something like that. RE: MONTE CASSINO SCENARIO - P.Ako - 10-17-2010 Furthermore, in game scale monte cassino battle would be just some assaults, wouldn't it? RE: MONTE CASSINO SCENARIO - Outlaw Josey Wales - 10-18-2010 I still say Italy from the toe to the Po. It may be a monster, but if you make it, they will play. Same for North Africa from start to finish in Tunisia. Including Malta option, East Africa, Middle East, and the option of what units out of the whole theater to send to Greece's aid. Even with my limited funds, I would find a way to buy them if they were separate games, even as a super scenario too. Out of curiosity, would it be easier to make them as new games or as massive super PzC scenarios added to an existing game like Alamein and Salerno? Don't tell me it will never happen, that's been covered. I just want to know if it was done, which would be better?

BTW, in Danube Front you have a map that merges Fulda Gap and North German Plains, so i think that it's not impossible. RE: MONTE CASSINO SCENARIO - carreteroarturo - 10-18-2010 MMMh,, what about Salerno 43? i dont have a clue what scenarios is covering, soemeone can give me a hint? Well, i have a drawings of that Monte Cassino map, actually im looking for the original oob files in order to make them work under a HPS game. Monte Cassino would be a 90 turns campaign because is covering aprox 10-11 days final assault. anyway, thanks RE: MONTE CASSINO SCENARIO - Outlaw Josey Wales - 10-18-2010 (10-18-2010, 03:53 AM)P.Ako Wrote:(10-18-2010, 12:17 AM)Outlaw Josey Wales Wrote: I still say Italy from the toe to the Po.

RE: MONTE CASSINO SCENARIO - cazart! - 10-20-2010 I would have liked to have seen something covering Monte Cassino as well. There actually enough maneuver on the flanks as well as trying to filter in reinforcements to make a game of it. I would assume that the designer/playtesters at least took a look at it before dismissing it. Of course, the conventional wisdom was that WW1 would be impossible to do and completely boring at this scale too... |
