World War II: Sandstorm - 0.5 RELEASED!

[Admiral Van Tromp]

What information do you guys need? I'd like to help if possible, be the most specific possible with what you need.

Pick a minor nation of your choice and give us some information. Leaders, characters and units would be the most useful for now.

Also, if you guys want more pictures go to my profile and see a album called WW2 Submod where I am uploading the rest of the screenshots. I am only doing this because you can only have 10 files attached to each post and I've taken about 50 screenshots...

[Admiral Van Tromp]

I'm going to add a research section to my Sandstorm campaign preview post.

Btw, 100th post!

Understood le vengur.

The swedish ship will be a recruitable unit for Sweden and the Norwegian one will be used as a recruitable unit for GB (representing the Norwegian resistance) during the occupation of the country by the Germans. . But it will also be recruitable for Norway.

That is during the European Campaigns.

just have to point out that all Norwegian pansarskepp were sunk during the war, the destroyer HNoMS_Svenner_(G03)would be a better choice

Ok, you're right. If navies are your field of expertise, feel free to focus on them.

if using the svenner i would recommend a Norwegian destroyer class, cap 7 as Norway received 2 S-class and 5-Town class destroyers from the royal navy during the war, these units should have higher morale and maybe better accuracy.

Thanks for all the interest! While we do have an excellent researcher (thats an understatement actually), if you would like to work with him I'm sure he would be willing to accomodate. As U-boat has said, there are many minor nations in need of research Pm me or darkhorse if you are interested in becoming a researcher on the team, with access to our dev group. If you just want to help out a bit, feel free to post here

Also, I will add the screens to the OP asap, thanks dogderna.

so when do you think sandstorm will be released it looks really good.

[LordBiggums]

It'll be interesting to see how this turns out.

[Audacia]

Ok, the screenshots are here. It's my first attempt on doing it, so don't be to harsh.

Enjoy!

First, you have the Sandstorm Campaign Faction Selection until now. (I know, the names are the old ones, I will do the right ones ASAP. And the Syrian flag is still the old Ottoman one, also being worked on). The map is also to be replaced.

The others were taken during a Soviet Union vs. Germany battle on the Dresden map.

Wow this looks really good. I like how you implemented a little role-playing into your battles, by choosing to fight in houses and behind buildings, building not just a line of earthworks, but earthworks at strategic points in the battlefield. It really adds to the WWII-esque of the game.

After seeing these screenies, it appears as though WWII really CAN be represented by a total War game, though before i thought it was nearly impossible. Now all we need are those helmets

Thank you, and I agree, it can be done Its especially good with multiple armies or MP, because then you get the sense of a real large-scale battle with many skirmishes within, as well as larger actions. Depending on my luck there may be some basic helmets soon, though specific helmets like the stahlheim are nearly impossible atm.

so when do you think sandstorm will be released it looks really good.

Soon. I'd say around 3 weeks from now (by the time everything is done for it), but keep in mind happens

[The Vengur]

Three free Polish navy destroyers should be available to the royal navy, representing
Błyskawica
Grom
Burza
these ships should have very high morale

the polish also received 2 cruisers and 7 destroyers from the royal navy

You've got to try to get tanks into the game
That'd be pretty cool
Just a suggestion

@Vs 002:
Good idea, we'll see about it when we get to the Europe campaign(s) development.

@le vengur:
Good polish navy idea added to the research compilation.

@ghhg44:
Have you TGW, our submod and nothing else activated?

[Admiral Van Tromp]

If you still want to help with research, please could you tell me what naval forces Italy, Germany and UK had on the Mediterranean circa summer 1941?

Thanks for all the help you gave us until now.
