for this team to do so much in so little time is amazing … check it out here;
Server update .
so after recent testing , failing , trial and error and failing some more , I’m back at editing this beast and restructuring the mission to fit the moose framework , it seems very promising and although a steep learning curve it seems to be ideal for what I would like to achieve.
If anyone has moose skills and would like to get involved I will be happy to hear from you , still lots to do but I hope the end result of a very immersive dday experience for dcs ww2 and as a vr user I hope to have it optimised for fps if all goes to plan.
Heres a taster…
WW2 Ad Infinitum – more triggers and testing … going well .
some screenshots from the dusk of 5th June 1944 … watching this transition to darkness is eerie and fantastic in equal measure .
the triggers and conditions for lsts to higgins craft then disembarking are set and seem to work ok , now just to get respawns and spawning of random gound units set up to make it feel like a battlefront , nothing easy in DCS but there will be a way . Cheers all.
WW2 Ad Infinitum DCS Server – development progress – **GALLERY 300MB**
well folks Ive had my head buried in the DCS mission editor , mist guide , .lua guides , forums etc etc and now my head hurts 😉 But there has been good progress to be fair – units are in the majority set , scripts and mission mechanics / scoring system / mission win / lose conditions being set , work to do includes respawn random ai ground , air and naval units . Capture points , custom audio for some of these objective points – and all this while trying to keep the .miz file as small as possible. Radios are now set to communicate with “FAC” Forward air controller vehicles , and now to make all actions contribute to overall minnsion win / success ( including loss of airframes / vehicles leading to ticketlosses for your side ) .
I wont lie , ive really bit off a big mouthful here but once you get into it the editor is extremely addictive ( and frustrating in equal measure) but hoping to get something playable out there soon.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – huge props to server owners / runners out there , amazing work you all do . S!
Walsh.
Theatre of war 2 – Africa 1943 -Surprise !

ABOUT THIS GAME
Theatre of War 2: Africa 1943 covers the events of 1943 in Tunisia, North Africa. Recovering from their losses after the crushing defeat and subsequent retreat after the Second Battle of El-Alamein, the German Afrika Korps – reinforced and now supported by the Italian Army – prepare once more to put steel against steel with the Allies. The Axis forces, under the command of the legendary General Erwin Rommel, have an all too brief opportunity to seize victory from the clutches of their earlier failures. Players will lead Rommel’s Afrika Korps in their last full-scale military campaign and command the English and American armies as they try to push the Axis forces out of Africa once and for all.

Day of Infamy … lets make it no 1 for christmas ;)
day of Infamy , what an excellent little ww2 shooter , its popularity has waned in the past few years and its not up to call of duty ww2 in terms of graphics , but as far as an experience goes , its superior in my opinion , add in some superb mods and great teamwork and you have one super solid little ww2 shooter that runs well evenon low spec machines … also a total bargain on G2A at less than £2 … cant say fairer than that really 🙂
Enjoy folks .

Steel Division Normandy’44
I had only got decent with the allies and now I have to learn the axis lol… and I need to learn a lot 😉
Steel Division Normandy – Iron Fist mission … I broke a duck ;)
well … i finally beat this mission lol… this is one of the hardest rts missions I’ve ever did , I tried it about 20 times , tried central thrusts, left flank , right flank , total air power , going all in early , saving up deployment points and going all in later … man .. this mission had me tearing my hair out … what an absolutely fantastic game , super challenging but extremely rewarding when you finally get it right . I wish id video’d it – I ended up holding the left flank until i smashed the central forest , then deployed armor to right flank with air and arty support … once the initial german counter attack was repelled I went on the counter attack in phase c , air took out AT guns , I kept armor away from forests as at troops can smash them …. amazing and very rewarding … eventually 😉
Destroyer U Boat Hunter – early access PC ww2 destroyer sim
1st p[lay and it really shows .. this is challenging , and really really nicely done … highly recommended for silent hunter or any naval combat ww2 fans .. nice Nolanesque background audio also to build suspense and good voice acting . I really need to practice lol.
