Posted: Fri May 16, 2008 11:28 am Post subject: Mini Mod Idea: The Battle of Isurava, Kokoda |
|
|
I've just watched the movie Kokoda (yeah, I know it's a bit late in the day)...loved it!
After doing some reading on the The Battle of Isurava (26 August to 29 August 1942)...I thought that this would make an excellent mini-mod (something a little bigger than a pocket mod). A bunch of maps (we could use Okinawa maps for the beta...with modifications to allow for more jungles and vegetation).
The battle lasted 3 days...so this will make an excellent small Ops for CC5.
The battles should be fierce and bloody!
Anyone interested?
I've done some research on Japanese data for BoS45 (we could also rework the Okinawa and KG Japanese data), for the Aussies, we can start with Aussie teams from El Alamein and Afrika40-41 (might need some reworking for the Asian Theater).
Was an Aussie Voices file ever made available for CC? We'll need that too.
Are there Aussie voices in the game Combat Mission?
I've got my hands full with BoS45...but if enough people are interested and maybe someone can do proper research on the battle, OOB & TOE etc...maybe this could make for an interesting 'side project'.
Or maybe form a team to mod this? I'm sure many of you Aussie CC maniacs can help out.
So what do you think, people?

no pzjager, no aussie would be found in russia, to damned cold!
great idea for a mod! a PURE infantry mod only, no tanks, no artillery,no heavy machine guns...just personal weapons and some crewed weapons(light and medium morters, light and medium machine guns, smg's hand grenades...AND LOTS OF BAYONET WORK!!!!!!
I think some players will enjoy a pure infantry type mod, but the hills and mud,heavy foliage,sheer cliffs will add to the challenge! |

What's wrong with a 'WWI style' mod?
What I had in mind was a mini-mod...so not a full blown Kokoda Track Campaign mod.
A pure infantry mod that lasts 24 days will be boring as hell...but 3-4 days ops...should be refreshing |

Hi, I hope nothing is wrong with a WWI mod . (Btw: what about Andima´s Gallipoli Mod?)
Now, this idea is sound. Didn´t know much about the New Guinea Campaigns, so surfed a litte and found an interesting page featuring animations of diverse Pacific War campaings including that one:
http://www.historyanimated.com/NewGuinea.html
Enjoy

I've started work on this mini-mod idea over the weekend.
I've already got a playable but still very rough version done...but I should have a beta version available very soon.
Currently using Karelia2 maps to represent New Guinea (I hope Sapa and Southern Land don't mind ).
I'll post some screenies in a few days.
BTW, I still need Aussie voices (currently using Brits voices)...anyone interested in recording a set? |

i started the voice cue's OMG it so hard!
i got a good set of speakers ,god microphone from my stereo used for sound equalisation testing,and for appropiiate 'background noice" from kokoda movie,and i had the flu for last 2 weeks so it added some harshness like battle strain! so first 6 cue's took me 2 hours to make like 30 seconds! GADS! its gonna take all weekend! |
