Wrench,

 

Wow! You are an inspiration.

thanks! your's is looking pretty good too! (mine has the advantage of being 20-30 years earlier than yours!). What I don't know, is if the Causeway was road and rail in the 30s/40s, as it is today. I'd hate to have to add the rail ridges - but will if I need too.

 

I just wish I'd had mue's tool when doing the WW2 Euro map & 'Norway' maps. would have made like a lot easier!

According to the latest news i heard along with Clark AFB, miltary bases in Cagayan de Oro and Mindanao will be open for JDSF and USAF use. Based on existing facilities it'll probably be Lumbia Airport(Cagayan De Oro Airport) and the larger Laguindingan International Airport. Thought you might want to know.

Aren't they thinking of reopening Subic Bay as well?

Yup. Naval Forces needs a quick port for resupplies and stuff.

 

 

krfrge - Man, Great work. That map is Beautiful!

saisran,

Thanks for the zip files.

 

I actually had Lumbia as part of the original file.

 

Thanks - Krfrge

@ krfrge - Thank you for the work your putting on this. Those screenshots looks great!

[krfrge 742]

All,

 

Just a little bit of work this morning. More to follow.

looking damn good

 

To me, the pavement is a bit to dark on Laguindingan field. If it weren't for a "lane lines", it almost looks like an untextured LOD. I know it's supposed to be asphalt, but maybe lighten a few shade? 70% gray??, but not too light to look like concrete. That's just me though!

 

what I find so funny, is I see buildings, and start naming the off in my head!! (af31, af6, af45, af46, citybuilding3, "schussel", the buildings from Major Lee's DBS ...) 

I think I been doing this too long....

 

what tileset are you using??

[krfrge 742]

Wrench,

 

I will call the asphalt crew in today.

The buildings are pulled from Major Lee's DBS and recolored.

Tileset if from SPF1 Vietnam.

[krfrge 742]

Wrench,

 

I called the asphalt company and they just happened to be in the area....

[Wrench 9,473]

yes, that's MUCH better! Like the blacktop on the street outside my door, it fades in that hot tropical sun!!

What an oustanding job mate!

My suggestions for potential conflict timeframes would be as follows:

• 1986 WWIII
  • Blue Side Factions: USA [uSAF, USN, USMC], Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia and Australia
  • Red Side Factions: USSR, China, Vietnam and Malaysia
  • USN assets would most likely consist of the following carrier groups: USS Ranger (CV-61), and the USS Midway (CV-41) or USS Enterprise (CV-65) plus a Surface Group with the USS Missouri (BB-63) as its flagship
  • The Australians could bring in a surface group or two to help even up the odds against the hostile navies
  • USSR naval assets would most likely include the Minsk or Novorossiysk carrier group and a small Surface Group escorting an amphibious group due for Singapore or the Philippines
  • China would deploy a number of Surface groups including amphibious ones to not just gain control of the little islands, but also Taiwan
• 1995
  • Blue Side Factions: USA [uSAF, USN, USMC], Australia, Taiwan, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore
  • Red Side Factions: China, Vietnam, Malaysia
  • USN assets would most likely be in the form of the USS Constellation (CV-64) or USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) groups
  • China receives the JH-7 attack aircraft in its arsenal
• 2018
  • Blue and Red Side Factions remain the same as 1995
  • USN assets could deploy the John C. Stennis (CVN-74) and the Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78)
  • China's military might at this point would be backed by the Liaoning aircraft carrier, J-16's and the J-20 plus those artificial islands...
• If helicopters can be a viable option in what little ground combat there is, the following are the best candidates for my suggested timeframes:
  • 1986 Blue Side: AH-64A, AH-1W, UH-1H, CH-53E Super Stallion, OH-58 Kiowa
  • 1995 Blue Side: AH-64A, AH-1W, UH-1H, UH-60, OH-58 Kiowa
  • 2018 Blue Side: AH-64D, AH-1W, AH-1Z, UH-60
  • 1986 Red Side: Mi-24V and/or Mi-24P, Gazelle
  • 1995 Red Side: Z-9, Gazelle
  • 2018 Red Side: Z-9, WZ-10, Z-19, Gazelle

santiagoace57,

 

Thanks for the input. I've got to get this terrain finished with the various target areas and then I will look into potential campaigns.

I can hardly wait.

[santiagoace57 1]

Somehow, I feel that partaking in these sorts of things may be just as or even more fun playing the final product!

[krfrge 742]

All,

 

Just to reassure everyone this project is still underway.

 

I have loaded up Stary's GH3.5 and modified my custom tiles (Harbor, small village, base camps, airstrips, etc) to blend in with Stary's exceptional tiles.

Impressive work, krfrge!  Your terrain now will look even better!

[santiagoace57 1]

Amazing, krfrge!

Looking forward to this, it really looks exceptional!

[saisran 84]

Looking Good!
