Still a lot of work, not be ready right away.

It's not a question of motivation but from time.

If I have more spare time

Always limitation of 64 units per side? In this case I will be making a little campaign rather than a long scenario.
As the map is complete of course.This is a big job but this advance:

[pipfromslitherine]

The 64 unit limit is a hard limit I'm afraid. I am looking at the possibility of being able to 'recycle' dead units (e.g. you would be able to use dead unit slots for new reinforcement units) - but this probably won't be in the upcoming update.

Cheers

Well resurrect unity sounds great
That said, I think rather a two or three scenario campaign. Make also a MP version.

Preview of map:


I saw that the editor I have access to sealion's objects that I do not own. Can I safely use? Can I use the no-owned extension's objects without the need to have this extension to play the scenario?

[pipfromslitherine]

yes - all the content can be freely used. we're so nice

cheers

Yeah it offers more possibilities for modding

[Amaris]

The map is finished:



I have yet to working on the details. And then add the German 'fortifications'.
And finally set the mission!

[Verdugo8]

This being impressive.

This is looking like it will be awesome. I greatly appreciate your talent and hard work.

[Amaris]

Well always late

I did the first tests with a single BIG scenario.
Problem: with a limit of 64 units / camp, I just do what the different lines of German defenses. And it lacks a few units to complete the whole. Few more units for locale counter-attacks...

So I plan to make two scenarios with carryover. And therefore more work, and thus further delay.

Nice job! Enjoyed seeing the map grow from beginning to end.

Well I think I was wrong for the part 2; I should probably add reinforcements
In any case the two battles are rather long and play both demand a lot of time.

For the relocation, the most important thing is ok: Net works.
