Campaign System

[Easymeat]

Forgot to mention that for the program to work CM needs to be run in a screen mode of 1024 x 768 at 32 bit.

I will upload the full program next week. All that needs doing is moving the matrix here and there to get the additional info.

As far as a DB game with battles settled in CM would make the programming a lot easier. On the right you could display the CM units contained in a game counter on the map. And on the left the map with road, rail networks and other interesting goodies to fight over. Artillery could be represented on the CM map by artillery spotters. Any airfields in range of the battle could have the aircraft included in the CM oob.

As far as even battles goes you could limit the oobs to a specific number of points. All taken care of by the computer (players play, computer does the bookkeeping). So you could have one side with 3000 points meeting the enemy who has 6000 points. In this case the computer could be progammed to limit the points to 3500, 4000 you get the idea. The only problem would be what to leave out, does the computer decide or the player.

If two sides meet and one side has an advantage a slight advantage should be carried over to the CM battle(s). You could even make two battle and have two separate battle to resolve a conflict.

The big problem would be the time it takes to complete a battle or battles. If more than two players are invovled, you don't want the rest waiting a month to move units on the operational map or fight a battle.

DB style adition to CM is all well and good but the time it takes to resolve battles is the big issue not is one side going to have 3-1 points advantage.
