Beagle conflict mod

[gnavarrete053]

Hello, I have been thinking about this for many years, but I have never spoken about it before. I want to create a major mod about the Beagle Channel conflict between Chile and Argentina in 1978. I would appreciate any help regarding vehicles, maps, or anything else.

It is a long way to creating a mod. First, you should collect all available knowledge and data regarding vehicles, maps, and everything else that might be useful in the process of creating a mod. Then find people whose hearts will beat faster when you tell them about your mod, and share your knowledge with them in the newly created inner 'Beagle' circle. And then all goes quite easily.

But I might be wrong. It is just my personal experience here in CA.

Never heared about that conflict. But no problem at all.

My 2 cents about that idea:

pro: there are enough airfields in that area to make a proper air war

        Planes and camos for that conflict are available

        Vehicles should not the big problem.

 

contra: making the terrain would be enormous time consuming, because the coastline is formed by hundreds of firthes, which must mostly created          by hand

            As basic tileset, the IslandNA tileset would fit, but it must increased by a lot of new made tiles, what needs a lot of time

 

I guess it would need more than a year to make this terrain properly.

Long time since I last checked, but is not the area included in the Malvinas mod?

Hello, there was no war between Argentina and Chile in 1978. Both countries mobilized forces but there was never a war. It may be a what if mod of course. I was 13 and was there.

A terrain could look so:

While the east - west distances are more or less correct, the north south distances are to short. The reason is, that the DEM database, which covers the heightfield data of the world are warped. As closer you come to the poles the warp effect becomes bigger and bigger.

Quick made terrain. Only 2 bases, one for each side, plus a argentinian carrier station.

If there is an interesse on this Beta terrain i could release till end of the year. This could be a basic for others who could add more target areas and could create new tiles for towns or so.

I still remember seeing a train carrying Shermans (!!!!!!!) on my way to school. And I believe the F-86s we had were still in service back then.

Damn, Gepard!! That's some quick work, even for a Beta!!!!
