WHAT why thats ridiculous WW2 didnt all happen in asia and europe there were fights in africa and in ausrtalia thats why its called WORLD WAR because most of the contenients were in it. why would he only allow europe and pacific and besides not all maps are european and pacific.

Dear god! Punctuation!

We're just starting to get Stealth to use it sparsely, and now you come to reinforce this terrible habit.

Ranger has this all worked out...that terrain should be debuting in the AvA soon...hopefully it will make its way into the Blue rotation...

How about just different fronts for each kind of fight on the maps? Partial desert that flows into a tropical type of environment, that then flows into a northern woods type thing, that then flows into snow/tundra type environments? Would be pretty cool to have to change your plane skins/types to effectively fight in different areas of the map.  :rock

considering climate currently has no effect on your plane right now, changeing model would have no effect.

As for skin, I think that big neon red sign is giving you away, not your brown skin.

I don't GV much, but I assume it would be good for the GVs.

Also if your trying to sneak a goon in low the skin also helps.

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.

Yes I would but I don't remember any of the Pacific containing battles with the Japanese in the middle of some God forsaken Aussie desert.  :aok

     Just wondering what battles were over the Australian desert?  In fact, I'm not
sure much combat was seen over Australia at all.  I'm sure our Aussie pals can enlighten me if I am
mistaken of course  :)  I had to google Port Moresby to find out it is in New Guinea <blush>

I believe that for the M/A a desert map would be fun but there's a problem i believe aces high wont wear it because the desert campain was for around 1 year fought between Britain ,Germany , And Italy. thus America was never involved with the desert campain for the final 2and a half months. and that was just mainly the ground forces. So i think they wouldn't do it due to the fact that there was no American or Russian or Japanese involvement during the desert war in Africa. only after Sicily was taken was the US airforce in Africa to strike at Italy. And i believe that Hitech creations are only focusing on the biggest campains for maps.

But great idea go and creat the map and submit it to Ace's High II they may say Yes Or They May Say NO.

You never know you may be able to hold African Desert Campains in the Special Arena One day.  :aok  :rock :salute  :cheers:  :airplane:

MA terrains have nothing to do with the real war.  There are no historical terrains in the MA, they are designed around 3 sided gameplay and purely fictional.

Could you please name one MA terrain based on an historical campaign?

My dad was at Darwin for jungle training when it was bombed he took photos at the time. I have not seen them in more than 21 years though.

Ah, you might want to check out this book at you local library:

An Army at Dawn by Rick Atkinson. ISBN 0-8050-7448-1

In addition, a well done desert tile set could be use for most of the mediterrainian countries.
