I have decided to have the night of Dec 22-23rd to pass in two campaign turns. After consultation , it was determined that this would be the best balance of the necessity of night turns , and the minimalization of the adverse affects of poor ground unit performance at night. Each turn will be a 1.5 ...

Hey Guys, When I initiated the PXR Template , there were several units of both sides which were supposed to have a Transport Load of supplies , which I omitted to add. I just missed this step for some units. I have added some of these supplies back ( trying to take account of usage in the Turns pass...

Hey All,

After discussions with other participant commanders , I have decided to alter the Movement Models slightly.

Columns are now in Normal Mode
Others are now in Relaxed Mode
Infantry remains in Simple Mode

It has been pointed out to me that my request for a host is tantamount to having someone else do all the lifting for my campaign, and had I realized that that is what the request meant I never would have made it. For me the SEOW system is a large learning curve , and I work with limited computer acc...

Greetings All , Parkers Crossroads is nearing readiness to start. 1) One of the needs I have if the current campaign construct is to be used , is for someone with a beefier rig than mine (and preferably an SEOW Server) to host. My current object count is ~1250 objects , plus about 100 infrastructure...

It seemed like no matter how many miles they drove , whenever they stopped , there were the sounds of tank engines off somewhere in the mist , out of sight , definitely not out of mind. German tank engines. When the Germans came over to the attack first, on the 16th of December , there was no snow ,...

Hi Gang, I just wanted to post an update , as I haven't added anything for a month (yikes!) now. Parkers Crossroads will run , and will run soon. My last assessment and tests of the template proved that my eyes were yet again bigger than my stomach , and since being gently reigned in by 4Shades ( I ...

Hey Guys, Glad to see the interest , and things are kind of poised for a deluge of completion type tasks. Please bear in mind that I am still learning , and am trying a couple of new wrinkles in terms of campaign design which may or may not work out. As of now , Luny has expressed interest in comman...

Yes I am still working on Parkers Crossroads. Here is the current gen. When I first began working on Parkers Crossroads as an SEOW Campaign , it was as a beginners project , small and contained , representing a minor tactical engagement. During development it has blossomed into a broader ( and I hop...

I am inclined to make the notations permanent , as I think they will allow more precise command discussions for planners that way.
Another tutorial for me !

Yes 4Shades I see them ; don't use these images I'll make better ones. In terms of the bridge icons , what is the protocol ? Also , what is the possibility of putting new/additional village names on these maps , ie not altering the actual maps , but adding village names for the Mission Planner? Also...

Just a brief update. I am currently playing with the oobs ( and learning how to use the add forces tool in the SEDCS ). I have decided to maintain 2 hour missions , with 90 minute flight limits. I will begin the campaign a couple of hours earlier on the 22nd Dec than I originally intended. I will pl...

You are correct Ikey ,

But long since I have built the little Crossroads farmhouses and there is a village the correct distance from the crossroads ( if I remember about 1 km) but in the wrong direction.
Glad to have perked your interest.
