The Cold War Battlescenario Mod

[Lt Hilsdorf]

Started quite a few months ago when I made my first HoI2 scenario, this has now built into a mod of several different battlescenarios based around battles during the Cold War. I have worked very hard, with help from many people, to put this mod together for everyone so I hope you enjoy.

Anyway lets get down to what this mod has so far:

-Brand new scenarios based around the Cold War
-New nations to play as and ones you don't regularly see in HoI2
-Many new graphics for leaders, flags, ect
-Only clocks in at about 3.0 mb's, so it's a nice, small download
-Uses mod-dir and comes with good install instructions (no massive problems)

At this latest release, Version 0.2, the mod contains Six scenarios, but in reality only 4 are truely playable and non are 100% complete. The list includes:

-1947: The First Kashmir War
-1948: The 1st Arab-Israeli War
-1950: The Korean War
-1956: The Suez Crisis
-1964: The Vietnam War
-1990: The Gulf War

Only the final two are completly unplayable and are included so people can go ahead and mess around with them if they want to.

Finally, here is the link to download the latest version and all future releases will be put in this space too. Also below are some screens of the latest versions scenarios. If you enjoy the mod or have ideas, please feel free to post here telling me that, so I can include the ideas in future versions. And if you have a scenario you think should be included, please tell me and I very well may begin work on it....

Please, be sure to read the included README file for insturctions on how to install and a list of updates from the last version!

Good news on development here. Today I started work on getting OOB's for the Gulf War scenario and if work continues this well, there could be a new version released fairly soon.

After quite a bit of work and research, I have a new version ready for download. Major changes are in the Gulf War scenario, and it is now actually playable but still needs alot of work. Anyway here is the changelog for Version 0.3.

AS for a new idea, I think it would be fun to have a scenario with Cold War turning hot, for instance after Cuba Missile Crisis. And then limit the scenario to Europe. It would be massive as far as ORBAT and such, but great for gameplay.

Sorry about that, I forgot to get rid of some AI testing file lines in a few .inc files. Download the "Hotfix" in the first post and you'll be set.

Oranje Verzet, I think that is going to be my next scenario and be the main campaign for the mod. If I do make it, it will probably be in the late 1940's, (48 or 49) if only so I don't have to find all new leaders for the nations.

Ok, if you do i will help you, atm not much time but later can work on things like events and such

LT, for the Kashmir War, when does it end? I went in and took Kashmir before Pakistan, but they annexed it regardless. Then i went in and took control ofPakistan before the year ended, but i couldnt annex it. Then i chased the Pakistani navy for months before finally giving up because 3-4 destroyers couldnt be sunk by my 6 destroyers and one cruiser. Whats up?

 

[unmerged(53293)]

In this Battlescenario Diplomacy is disabled so you can't annex Pakistan.
2nd: It's only 0.3 so there are not all events in which will end the scenarios.

 

[Lt Hilsdorf]

Yup, only the Kashmir War has end game events and I really didn't test them enough.

About Pakistan annexing Kashmir: Both Ind and Pak are at war with them in the begining of the scenario. What you must do is try and take more land then the other and eventually that event will fire and Pakistan annexes them, but you will keep the land you took from Kashmir. Who ever owns the most of Kashmir by the end of 1949 wins. Now what I didn't add in are events for both sides to get new units. I also didn't really make an end game event for if you manage to take all of Pakistan, so I'll add that for the future versions.

Ok, heres an update on the 1949 Mini Campaign:

Work is going along just fine, and OOB's shoule be done before the end of the week. Then I jsut write up some quicky events and put out and Alpha for testing and people to have something to work with. Here is the latest version of the map (The entire US and Canada are also included)

 

[unmerged(54507)]

is this european scenario ready???

 

[Lt Hilsdorf]

Naw, I was never able to really finish it, mainly because as I figure out time and time again, working on larger campaigns takes time and extra help, which i didnt have.

,what can I say...I liked the screens...

Download does not work

The download does not work. When you click on it, you are taken to a save file page that says that the file does not exist. Is there any other place to get the download?
