Author Topic: Aces High Terrain European Theater Based? (Read 437 times)

Husky01 · « **on:** April 22, 2007, 10:03:24 PM »

Was kinda wondering is there any particular reason that the terrain in Aces High is mostly all based on the European Theater in the MA? I am talking about the windmills, hedgerows, farm houses, sheep, Pine trees etc.

Is there any reason there are not things based on the Pacific Theater such as Palm Trees, native shacks, thick jungles etc? Or is it all up to the map makers to decide?

i think a winter or north africa/desert map would be fun

Combat Theatre is the reason I assume though its been common since AH started to make it look sort of like europe.

desert and mountaineous landscapes would be very cool

My guess is that these are terrain tiles developed for Combat Tour. They were introduced now to help work out the bugs.

kind of it had a setup in the middle like pearl hrbr i believe,no palms trees though,the only ct map i remember with that pacific feel was midway but im never in there so dont believe that was all

there was a large map made by fester one time which have pearl midway wake and most of the other islands all done .These were as acruate as could be done with the main arena specs.

I enjoyed this map as fond some thing new each time i was on it.

be nice if we were allowed maps with a few custom features,such as grass strips and different field layouts.

but for now we got european terrain from combat tour

None for me, but my wife's grandfather was marine fighter pilot from '42-'60something.
