It will be implement with the release of the first MA 512x512 terrain.


Its a bit unlear as to how 3 cities will be able to reupply fields with just 10 mile roads in 512 by 512 map.

What of trains? do they bring Supplies to the cities from the factories then  resupply the fields?

Anyway sounds good I'll wait and see.

The Cities supply the factories, not the fields. Trains go from City to Factory. The 10 mile roads go from Factory to Fields.

So to nab a field the attackers will need to not only air CAP the general area but also knock out the factories. And to keep the factories down they will need to hit the cities.......

 This is waaaAAAAy cool :)

I'm looking forward to bouncing the Convoy hunters.
Seriously. It looks like strat might becaome more of the game, and less the backdrop to the game. This is very good news indeed.

Truly excellent HT!

The always present Q's:

1) What will determine the down time of towns? (city I hope)

2) Any chance of gettin quad 303 and single .50 cal ack objects for the terrain editor in 1.09? (would be nice to experiment alternative AI ack setups).

3) Size of trucks in the convoy... will they be increased? I see an M3 and its almost 3 times as big as a convoy truck :p And them convoy trucks are hard to kill.. they eat lotta lead.

4) Will the Beer Bottles be back? (hopefully with a VH on top of bottle to do some Flakpanzy Bungee Jumping!) :D

Wotan...

I missed nothing +)  

The release of 1.09 will include this 512x512 map.  But will all our other maps be converted at release time, or will we all be on the new map for a month while we await the other maps conversions?

or.....?

in the ute map you can get vehicles on the roads by the those trucks they aint that big. However they are fast as hell:)

Sorry  skurj I would hope those maps would drop out of rotation.

The 512 x 512 are quite large and I doudt you would be ready to get rid of it as soon as a reset comes.

Give us sometime to explore it and maybe develope more big maps in the mean time :)

Will HQ be possible to resuply? If yes, will trains resuply it? If yes, shortening the down time by 30 mins is it possible to bring it up "right" away? Example: 10 JU88's bomb an HQ, let's say downtime is 2 hours, each suply drop shortens it with 30 mins, is it enough to move in 4 goons fast and it will be fully up? Or isn't it possible to suply it to more then 30 mins? Last thing would be best IMO otherwise all you need it 4 or 5 goons and it wil be back up again within maybe 10 minutes.

Good! I like games with strategy.

I'm sick of the endless furballing that's taking place in the MA...It's not about ACM or skill anymore. And this all coming from a newbie!
(Someone had a BAAAAD night online, it seems...)   :mad:

Bring on the strat features, and hail the high alt fights!
