@RogerCooper "The World at War 1941"? That is not a game of the "World At War" map in High Quality repository for sure.

Maybe you are thinking at the 1941 setup of the "The World at War" map, by ezell?

On this matter, @Schulz do you still have your mod of that game? Maybe uploading it to repository? I remember to have played it a while ago.

Schulz

Yes but it was unfinished map so no need to add it to the repository.

RogerCooper

@Cernel Your right, I referenced the old file The_World_at_War.zip

Cernel

@Schulz I seem to recall it was fairly playable, but I hardly remember. If not the official repository, I guess @RogerCooper wouldn't mind adding it to his one. What was the problem with the original ezell, or anyways the aim of the mod, btw, just to refresh my memory?

Scenario Big World: 1942 - Logistics Mod
Description World War 2 with supply rules
Downloadlink text

Good Points

Adds Supply Rules

Bad Points

Supply rules slow the game with little effect on play

The problem is that supply can be traced to any same nation factory, at the end of the player-turn, through any friendly land area or empty sea area. It is too hard to actually knock someone out of supply. It would probably be better if supply could control only traced to some staring factories, with effect at the start of the turn, but make the effect less than total elimination.
