Lapland Mod v1.1 Imminent :)

[Crossroads]

*** post split in two to allow for more pictures***

- Bristol Blenheim MkI. At the time a very modern bomber, and was bought in numbers already in late 1930s. A batch of them was bought again from UK during the Winter War, and they were taken into action with no time to remove the RAF camo. Notably, JTCS only comes with a Blenheim MkIV, so a short nosed version of the bitmap was needed in order to have the plane appear from 1939 on







The sole surviving Blenheim (a "long-nose" Mk IV) at local Aviation museum:


- Junkers Ju 88-A4. Some 24 of these were bought in 1943, and served both in the Continuation War and Lapland War. This bitmap conversion courtesy of Mike / Warhorse. Thanks mate!







Many thanks to Mike "da man" Amos for helping me with the bitmaps

But there's more...

I am working on a What-If scenario which will have the Anglo-French Expeditionary Force actually making it to Winter War, having Brits and French fighting Soviet Union.

In order to do that, I have now pretty much migrated all the French OOBs and units from WF side of things to EF2 side of things.

Also, 98% of the Brits made it as well, some Free French and Ethiopian OOBs being the exception.

While at it, I thought why not bringing the US into EF2 as well?

What would you guys think of that idea? I guess that would offer great chances for some Post-WWII West-East conflicts. I could easily package it as an add-on to Lapland Mod if there is interest for doing so.

It has been great to see the new interest on Rising Sun scenarios, while Mike's Korean Mod saw some great new scenarios done for it.

Perhaps with version 1.1 this little mod comes to an age as well, offering interesting possibilities for scenario designers to chart areas so far being unaccessible to them?

I think I need a couple weeks to finish testing things, so any ideas or comments at this stage are welcome and may be considered.
