BfW full conversion: Advanced Wars

Post by eXcellent »

Hi,
anyone up for a full conversion of BfW in order to make something like Advanced Wars but way cooler.
For starters, we'd use a hex grid not this shameful square-based design.

I'd think it'd be a really cool project and there'd be quite some demand...


Opinions?

...what are you asking? For people to make it for you? Voice their support? Help contribute to it?
Everyone has their own awesome, way-cooler-than-anyone-else's, uber idea, and they generally don't just spontaneously give up on their own ideas to help with some other random person's idea, especially when that person has shown absolutely no work of his own so far.
Get started on it, show some work yourself, and then maybe people will help or contribute.

As stated in the second link Norbert provided, TC's really aren't useful because of the capability of UMCs. There's not much a TC can do, that a UMC can't.

Also, you may be interested in the addon Modern Combat. It's not AW, but it does include modern infantry units, tanks, naval combat, missiles, planes, research, etc.
