[2-81 Armor]

Hello 2-81 Armor (E/1-81 AR myself!), welcome to the Blitz.

In regards to using the F14 map in F40, yeah it wouldn't work too well without someone doing a lot of work to it, because the F14 map was specifically depopulated of urban areas to represent 1914, and some rail lines and canals were also removed to be more period specific. So I don't see that happening without someone committing to extensive work unfortunately, but that is not to say that it would be impossible if the original F40 creator wanted to do it.

As for ACW at greater detail, try out SB:First World War. Its certainly not ACW obviously, but the 1914 scenarios might be something fun. (yes, shameless plug!)

That's about what I figured when it comes to a larger F '40 or Bulge '44 map. Still, the possibility is/was intriguing (to me). I remember having this idea the first time I played your F'14 (early) Campaign.

For modern Germany (D '85) I'm only talking about squaring off the existing map by filling it in...it might be possible, but I don't think that's likely simply because of a lesser interest in this series as compared to PzC, and WW2 in general.

For the ACW, all that I think is needed is to double the size/scale of an existing map. That's what was done for the co-level Waterloo, and I think it would work here. ACW infantry units should remain regiments, and most of the improved OOB's now show the artillery as sections instead of batteries, and in some cases the cavalry is shown as squadrons/battalions too, so the current unit scale could work.

I was in CSC (Scout Platoon) 2-81 Armor 1972-76 at Erlangen.
