Haha, no. I don't think the devs would appreciate that. Plus it would be out of context, so it wouldn't be so funny.
You're too cruel...
And I don't think the devs would care about any publication on donor boards, but their own.

Cruel? How? ???

And it is sort of their publication, since it was theirs originally. I just edited it.

O.K., another attempt at Victory Point placement.

Not sure if you want to remove/move some or anything, but i think it's important that the town square have both a Victory Point and a Strategic Point, since it's the pivotal area of the map.

Also i think it's best that there's an odd number of Victory Points, to prevent a prolonged stalemate.

Thank you for your idea pariah, but I think now I figured it out. I always search for a certain kind of symmetry on the maps to make them as balanced as possible.



1,2,3 and 4 represent the bases. VP means victory point, IB indestructible bridge and DB the opposite (actually the should be changed, that DBs are in the middle). Medium fuel points (because I actually never place high fuel points) are represented by the MF.
To reach the symmetry stated above, I will add a fourth bridge. Then, it should work fine. I agree with your idea of the town aquare as the no. 1 chokepoint, that's why I placed one of the VPs there. Now IJoe isn't able to complain anymore (;)), because the players can't be seperated by blowing the bridges up. Maybe I'll also add a fourth and a fifth VP in the south to disburden the north with the bridges.
The map is actually quite symmetric, you only need to change a few details. :)

Interesting idea. I would have tried to keep it more similar to the level with the starting positions, but this might just work.

1 Suggestion, though - Maybe either increase the level of the Fuel Point in the North, or decrease the level of the 1 in the South, to increase the value of that far away corner.

Make sure to replace the Chruch!!! Otherwise you will be able to build airbornes as wehrmacht if you upgrade it.

Your suggestion made my mind spin and come to that idea ;)
And it's great to have someone that always responds on my posts in this topic, no matter how low-prioritized they are  :)

@walki: I did it already ;) Same goes for the townhall.

Are you sure? I thought that would be tied to the level, like the Cherbourg Forward "Motorpool". :-\

You can always edit the maps. If there are such sp buldings, where you can produce special units, there's always a "normal" counterparty to it, so you just need to replace it.

O.K... So would it be possible to have the Forward "Motorpool" in skirmish/multiplayer or not?
