@rogercooper
Game Blood and Iron
Description World War II on a world map
Download Blood_and_Iron

Good Points

Interesting looking map
Moderate map size makes for fast play
High unit costs decrease unit density

Bad Points

No victory conditions

Nothing exceptional, but worth checking out

Cernel

@rogercooper Never really understood why that has never been in download list, but my issue with it, if I recall correctly, is having a single player for all the minors. I just cannot accept that Finland, Romania and Thailand are the same country.

It is a bit odd, but is it any odder than US & China being the same country?

Good Points

Unusual historical setting
Pieces evocative of the Icelandic context (like Rockthrowers)
The volcanos and mountains of central Iceland restrict movement

Bad Points

The sides are similar in strength, position and capabilities
The game uses a basically standard WW2 approach, with no effort made to reflect medieval warfare in general and a war of small raids in particular
Most units are basically minor variations of infantry.

Worth playing once for historical interest.

@rogercooper as a minor thought. Do you mind if I add all links that you post to the top of the thread? Great job btw! Example …

Yes. For example, I would prefer making Finland and Romania part of Germans and Thailand part of Japanese, instead of having a single player for about whatever minors. Even only a minor for both Finland and Romania together would feel unacceptable, or at least worse than just giving them to Germans. I'm even very unconfortable with those cases in which you have, like, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria as a single country; rather better as just part of Germans.

Scenario World War II v5 1942 2nd Ed. (High Production Mod)

The higher production values make for a lively game
The balance is better than the original World War II v5

Bad Points

None really, this is solid scenario

Straightfoward, playable scenario

Hi Roger;

Could you add my mod to your scenario list. Here is the map https://www.sendspace.com/file/15ljl7

thanks.

RogerCooper

@schulz SendSpace will not allow a download without an account. Why not use Google Drive, which requires no account?

Cernel

@rogercooper You don't need any account to download this or any files from SendSpace. Tho, now that we are on GitHub, I wouldn't advise using SendSpace anymore to start with: just get your stuff in your GitHub profile.
I always disliked SendSpace linking in forum, as, then, you end up with all these broken links, thus mostly pointless thread, that remain there as sort of trash. I used SendSpace a lot, but preferably for private use (lobby chat...), rather than forum linking.
I wonder if there is a way to freely upload heavy stuff in a place where it doesn't get ever deleted, to avoid filling the forum with eventually broken links?

Google drive. Github. Dropbox. Google is your friend.

Cernel

@alkexr I meant without needing an account or any kind of registration.

RogerCooper

@cernel With google drive you need an account to upload, but not to download. Why use SendSpace?

Cernel

@rogercooper Ah. I didn't realize that. Well, anyways, myself I think I would just use GitHub; but was just asking since I think most will keep using SendSpace or such, so all the broken links, eventually.

I don't want to make a google account.

Schulz

There was a v3 mod in the older triplea forum which is contain only European front. I wish it was downloadable. Does anybody find the map?

Cernel
