Zovs-Mods (MC)

Post by zovs »

Modern Campaign Mods

So after making my Zovs-Mods for the FWWC I decided to port that work into MCs with the idea of retrofitting both of these projects back into my original Panzer Campaign board war game mod (Zovs-Mods). Well as it turned out, this was also a pretty large project and complete overhaul both my ideas and MC's in general.

Map
  • Ported over my bridge artwork.
  • Ported over my arrow’s artwork.
  • Ported over my enlarged unit symbols artwork.
  • Changed the way HQs symbols are displayed by using the more traditional board wargame HQ symbiology for HQ's (i.e. the alternating filled in square boxes) and by also adding a flag staff to the symbol (I find this to be very useful when units are "hidden" behind victory point objectives or when in travel mode).
  • Added new symbols for missiles and helicopters, etc.
  • Added static AAA counters for Mid-East '67 (did not notice the in the other series).
  • Updated and corrected some symbols I originally created.
  • Updated the HQ color band.
  • Updated the HQ size.
  • Updated the alternate HQ symbols.
  • Updated/modified all the artwork for the on map Mines, Bunkers, Improved Positions, Obstacles, Pillboxes, Trenches, and Forts.
  • Updated the NBC artwork for all three sizes (originally only 2D large and 2D mag had these).
  • Updated/changed the on-map Supply symbols.
Unit counters and Info boxes
  • Updated all the national counters to colors more closer to "board wargame traditional" counter colors (think of both SPI The Next War and GDW Third World War series).
  • Updated all the national flags for each nations objective victory point flag (i.e. used modern national flags from 1960s-1990s).
  • Updated all the objective value boxes color bevel and increased the size of the VP box (currently this box is 1 or 2 pixels too small to fully display the VP number in 2D mag. for the PzC and MC series)
Info
  • Modified the Info panels for all six titles to use a distinctive color camo pattern and a few other embellishments for immersion.
  • Updated the Unit Info Boxes for all nations so they use the new National flags and also are based on my original Zovs-Mods for the PzC series.
Screens
  • Created new cover/splash screens for each of the six titles so you know you’re using my mod.
  • Updated the command report dialog artwork for all six titles.

Greetings, sorry for the delay, but I had a massive heart attack on August 20. I have not updated or touched any of my modules/modifications since the end of July. But I plan to continue work this fall, so please be patient as I put my health ahead of hobby for a while.
