    Default Russo-Japanese War Map Pack

    Since the Russo-Japanese war was the first 20th century war pre-WW1 that brought everything they used in WW1 including, trenches, attrition/siege warfare, machine guns, submarines, aerial reconaissanse, siege guns/mortars/howitzars, torpedo boats, as well as gas warfare; I think it would be a great collection of maps to make such as the Battle for Port Aurthor (Russian desperately trying to hold onto it only warm water port), The Battle of Yalu River, or the various battles in manchuria. Now I doubt that there's any maps of asia that we could use for a campaign for NTW TGW but we could indepently make these maps along with a Japanese Army since they fought in WW1 as well and that would leave even more opportunies to make maps to represent the battles fought in the pacific against the German colonies there (such as the battle of Tsingtao).

    What do you guys think about it?

    I'd be interesting, but I don't think panzerschreck would be up to the task.

    On a side note, my Polish Great-Great grandfather was "Recruited" to fight in the Russo-Japanese War. He survived, but he died long before I could meet him.

    It would be a nice addition, but then who's going to make a Japanese faction, or Russo-Japanese War maps?

    Agree on the maps, but so just you know, TGW team shown pics of japanese in 5.0, so we'll have them.

    True, true. But fall of the Samurai has much more modern stuff.

    Sorry I've been busy having the handle of my coffee mug break off and spill milk all over my computer, which I thought I cleaned but curdled inside, On the upside I designed the most advanced computer I coould which took 2 months to put together and shippoff from their end. I also have work. But if 5.0 includes Japanese Soldiers I could see myself creating a DL map pack of Port Arthor. I guesss we'll have to see what happens

    ..are you planning on making the maps?
    That is the flaw in your theory, gentlemen and I will not help you out of it. If you choose to deal with men by means of compulsion, do so. But you will discover that you need the voluntary co-operation of your victims, in many more ways than you can see at present. And your victims should discover that it is their own volition - which you cannot force - that makes you possible. I choose to be consistent and I will obey you in the manner you demand. Whatever you wish me to do, I will do it at the point of a gun. If you sentence me to jail, you will have to send armed men to carry me there - I will not volunteer to move. If you fine me, you will have to seize my property to collect the fine - I will not volunteer to pay it. If you believe that you have the right to force me - use your guns openly. I will not help you to disguise the nature of your action. -Hank Rearden

    Well I'll be damned, that is something I'm now really eager for.

    I think that shogun 2 would be better to do such a mod.
