« on: June 21, 2010, 07:53:43 PM »

Always get a chuckle on the OZKANSAS map when flying over the northern part of Australia. :headscratch: Seems to be a lot greener than I remember. :lol

Not sure I would guess the terrain editor maybe would be the place to start?

I'd like that too, unfortunately HT only allows 2 types of terrain types (the objects on the ground trees,barns,bushes) the european and pacific set. :frown:

:cry

The war in Africa wasn't that long or drawn out, a few months, maybe. Besides, is a desert terrain even needed? No, The Aussie deserts weren't the battleground anyway. Just because Australia was in the war doesn't mean the battles were fought in the middle of the desert. Most action took place in the Pacific.

P.S. watch the Pacific, it will give you an understanding of why Australia was so important to both sides. Just watch it. You will understand why the war was mostly in the Pacific Isles. (Guadalcanal, Okinawa, Peleliu, etc).All islands in the Pacific ocean, not in the desert.

If I told you that the entire Pacific series was filmed in Australia would you believe me? In fact a lot of it was done in some of the same locations as the first Mad Max film.
