A mod in Italy would be great but in my opinion the close combat engine is not suited to mountain warfare.
Most of the decisive fighting in Italy was fought over very tough mountain terrain with very limited armored support. On the strategic side the movements of infantry and armored battlegroups should have restrictions, this cannot be done in close combat. In theory an armored battlegroup can cross a "mountain map" with the same speed an infantry battlegroup can, while historically it was impossible to cross for armor. I know there already are great mods covering the german-soviet war, stalingrad, kharkov, kessel and kursk in progress but there is so much more potential for a great mod "in the east": -Barbarossa: battle of smolensk 1941 -Crimea campaign 1941 -Battle of Rzhev 1942 -Korsun pocket 1943-1944 -Operation Bagration 1944 To name but a few.. If we could spread the workload to prevent experienced modders getting swamped it can be done. |

My worry about an Italy campaign is that it will mainly focus on infantry combat with limited armor support.
To me the lack of variation in BG's and the sluggish nature of infantry fighting on rough terrain becomes tedious, that's why i lost interest in the Crete mod i made years ago. Youve already done the Ortona mod, since it hasn't been ported to TLD/WAR i haven't played it, maybe it could change my mind if i played it . |

I haven't modded LSA so i have no idea what is possible with static BO units and how large they can be made.
Pete do you more about this, i know you didn't use static BO units in your Rhineland mod maybe there was a reason for that? The relief effort of Stalingrad is covered in the "der kessel" mod, i loved playing that mod. |
