Maybe I got off on a wrong foot with you boys here. Your maps are great. I am not debating the accuracy of the maps. I am not debating the accuracy of how the Pacific War was really fought. You boys are right.
I am just considering addapting these maps to DCG campaigns. The whole point of DCG is to not only have historical campaigns, but open ended campaigns as well. DCG will do BOTH. Some people like one, the other, or both. If I make a campaign on these maps as is, sure as there is a God in heaven some jackass will email and complain about, "All I get are anti-tank missions but I can't see or destroy them through the trees! WTF? Your campaign sucks!" And I will have to deal with it from an angry hoard of idiots.
It will be said and I as the campaign maker will have to deal with this. I am just trying to take all things into consideration and with a grain of salt. I am just trying to tell you guys what to do if you want to intigrate these maps into DCG for THEIR FULL POTIENTIAL with DCG as it is RIGHT NOW. You may not get a new DCG update. If you don't then you are stuck with what you got. And if you are stuck with what we got, then what I have said is how it is. I would love nothing more than to not have to do roads and find a way to update the campaign system to move the front another way. But if that does not happen or is not possible, we need another game plan.
That is all I am saying. We should prepare or consider both scenarios. I say this because I am deeply impressed with these maps and would LOVE to integrate them into DCG campaigns. Actually I am working on a "out of the box" set of campaigns for DCG. I want to be able to have users download and with minimal tweaking play any campaign for any theater. That is my goal, but I have been waiting for these GREAT maps to put into the campaign.
I am just saying AS IS, it would be better if there was a road network to use with DCG. I hope along with all of you that a work around can be found.
