Having completed the conversion of all the older scenarios, I am starting a thread specifically to cover my own scenarios and to review existing scenarios. I prefer to play as 1 country against the AI and so I will not review scenarios not playable by AI.

My first review is of Camp David-1967
Source: Experimental scenarios under Camp David
Gameplay: The units are typical A&A units. The Arabs have higher income and more units. The Israelis have better quality and the central position. The scenario is interesting to play. No victory conditions are defined.
Historicity: The 6 Day War does not mesh well with the strategic focus of A&A. The vital role of air power is lost with traditional A&A combat model. Jordan's lack of strategic depth is shown.

I have created a new scenario based upon the Axis & Allies & Zombies boardgame. AAZ.zip

I couldn't implement many aspects of the game, but Zombies will popup randomly and mess up your plans.

There are 2 scenarios, AAZ & AAZ-NZ. AAZ is the regular scenario while AAZ-NZ is the same game without the Zombies (and a default bid of 9 for Russia). The game is playable against the AI.

Have fun.

I am now using variables successfully..

@hepps Basically yes. The only mods I am not converting are mods designed specifically to use deprecated versions of the AI.I may have missed some mods over the years.

I have created a page for you on the Axis & Allies Wiki with some economic & military information from various sources on WW1. 1914 Economic Data

@cernel said in Roger's Scenario Thread:

@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?

@Name Yes, all powers start at neutral, with alliances set with triggers.

Each power has 50% of joining alliance A, and a 50% of joining alliance B.

Note that alliances chain together not wars. Declaring war on a member of an alliance does not put you at war with the rest. However allying with another country gives you identical diplomatic relationships (for the peace and war archetypes).

@frostion I would say report your bugs here first, as in many cases what looks like a bug is a misunderstood feature. Then if it can't be resolved, make a formal bug report on GitHub.

@Hepps You could handle that with events and political relationships. You could change the relationship when occupied to make the occupied country a neutral and then restore the relationship when the capital is liberated.

Game Play Lots of unit types but without much differentiation in practice. Big advantage for Good.
Historicity No Tolkien feel. Unique beings like Wizards, Nazgul, Ents and the like can be built without limit. The Dwarves have cannon. No decisive battles. No race against time.

Not worth a replay.

Name Star Wars: Tatooine War (4 teams)
Description Fight on the ground and in space for control of Tatooine

Good Points

• Lots of Star Wars-themed units
• Fast-playing

Bad Points

• The names are different but every faction except the Tusken Raiders plays much the same.

I assume that defensive AA and offensive AA is simultaneous.

I already downloaded the Github version, it will update on my site soon.

You can't do what you want, but you can come close. You designate bombers as being offensive AA., which allow them to fire once, before all other combat. Then give them a 0 strength in regular combat. Look at this Nuke unit from The Grand War

@Schulz Can I post on my site?

How is this mod coming along?

Depending on the rules set, you can have a game that doesn't end. The Axis controls Eurasia and Japan while the Allies control everything else. The income is about equal and the Allies have sufficient naval and air power to prevent the Axis from expanding while the Axis has sufficient land power to counterattack and destroy and Allied landings.

Name AAZ42-NZ
Description The alternate setup for the AA42-2 from AAZ, but without the zombies

Good Points
*Straight-forward small map game

Bad Points
*Needs a heavy bid for the Allies

@LaFayette said in RFC - In-Game Map Uploads:

@RogerCooper A map validator is a highly requested feature. I've also been thinking it might make sense to automatically do hue shifting from existing images to fill in missing images rather than the hue shift be controlled by configuration (just make it automatic).

Some mods such as "The Grand War" use flags rather than hue shifts anyhow.

Name 41 Oztea SBR

Good Points

• You get into fight quickly

Bad Points

• As is usual for games based on the Global 1940 map, the Axis has a big advantage.
