HISTORICAL NOTES*
From Wiking by H. Kistemaker, p. 43-44*
Far away I saw a colosal cloud of dust. Nothing special for Russia under normal circumsances, because most road consist of treaded grass or clay. If it was a clay road, dust would fly up, at least if the clay was dry. I went to my group leader who already was awake and attended him on this faraway cloud of dust.*
In the meantime everybody was wide awake and was looking at the approaching dustcloud. Suddenly a red signal went up in the air, shot by the infantry in front of us. Right after that a green flare went up; the situation was dangerous! Red means 'the enemy attacks' and green means 'need artillery assistance'. Far away we heard a sound as if a herd of elephants was coming right at us. It was Russian Cavalry with between 500 and 600 horses!**

SCENARIO NOTES*
Hold off the Russian attack!**

Have FUN!*

Here ya go!

Wake Island

Stopped work on Wake...

Since I couldn't get the scenario to work in the way I wanted.... I gave up and started something else, which you'll see in the next post!

I spent quite a lot of time on the map for Wake Island, so I'll publish it separately! Link will be provided!

Design Break

As you might have noticed, I'm 'working' on two scenario ideas. But, alas, nothing's showing yet. That's right... I'm on a little 'designbreak' right now, due to work partly. But mostly due to the European Soccer Championship! So I hope you'll bear with me and cheer for the Dutch team!

NEW East Front Scenario

While working on the Wake scenario, I'm also working on another little Eastern Front scenario. It will be infantry-cavalry heavy. Working title is the Cossack Attack. I'll keep you posted!

Wake Update 2

Started on the definitive scenariodesign while on a business trip. Still tweaking and changing... and changing again!


By the way: It's based on the book 'Given Up For Dead'. Definitely a must-read if you are interested in this little known piece of WWII history!

Wake Update

Finished the map yesterday evening. Looks quite different than the screens in my earlier post. Now it's down to the battle design. I'll keep you posted!

Wake Island

Finally the map is looking like the real thing! Still tweaking here and there. That will take a few days, and then... on to designing the Battle For Wake Island.

Am still in doubt if I'll try to make it as historically correct as possible. Could be that I'll make it more or less historical for playabilities sake, due to the ingame limitations...

I'll keep you posted!
