Zovs-Mods (MC)

Modern Campaign Mods

So after making my Zovs-Mods for the FWWC I decided to port that work into MCs with the idea of retrofitting both of these projects back into my original Panzer Campaign board war game mod (Zovs-Mods). Well as it turned out, this was also a pretty large project and complete overhaul both my ideas and MC's in general.

Map

Ported over my bridge artwork.

Ported over my arrow’s artwork.

Ported over my enlarged unit symbols artwork.

Changed the way HQs symbols are displayed by using the more traditional board wargame HQ symbiology for HQ's (i.e. the alternating filled in square boxes) and by also adding a flag staff to the symbol (I find this to be very useful when units are "hidden" behind victory point objectives or when in travel mode).

Added new symbols for missiles and helicopters, etc.

Added static AAA counters for Mid-East '67 (did not notice the in the other series).

Updated and corrected some symbols I originally created.

Updated the HQ color band.

Updated the HQ size.

Updated the alternate HQ symbols.

Updated/modified all the artwork for the on map Mines, Bunkers, Improved Positions, Obstacles, Pillboxes, Trenches, and Forts.

Updated the NBC artwork for all three sizes (originally only 2D large and 2D mag had these).

Updated/changed the on-map Supply symbols.

Unit counters and Info boxes

Updated all the national counters to colors more closer to "board wargame traditional" counter colors (think of both SPI The Next War and GDW Third World War series).

Updated all the national flags for each nations objective victory point flag (i.e. used modern national flags from 1960s-1990s).

Updated all the objective value boxes color bevel and increased the size of the VP box (currently this box is 1 or 2 pixels too small to fully display the VP number in 2D mag. for the PzC and MC series)

Info

Modified the Info panels for all six titles to use a distinctive color camo pattern and a few other embellishments for immersion.

Updated the Unit Info Boxes for all nations so they use the new National flags and also are based on my original Zovs-Mods for the PzC series.

Screens

Created new cover/splash screens for each of the six titles so you know you’re using my mod.

Updated the command report dialog artwork for all six titles.

You should be able to just download the files, if not drop me an email.

BTW I have a major update for both MC and PzC. For PzC I am porting over my work in MC to it for the unit counters, etc. For both MC and PzC I am updating a ton of the map graphics.

Will update various threads when complete.
