[2-81 Armor]

Just downloaded Normandy and Bulge. Much appreciated John.

Cheers, Ian. I know Bulge is a favourite of yours so I made a special effort with that one!

Yes I do like Bulge but I might be jumping to Normandy (pun not intended) for any future matches, not that I play much these days.

I've grown a bit disillusioned with Bulge. 

The OOB has been improved in certain mods and yes bits of the map have been changed since the game saw the light back in 2001. However I still think that the map needs a bit more attention.

I think that village place names and the road network needs to revisited. I find it difficult sometimes to reconcile the PzC map with historical maps and up to date board game maps. (eg GMT's Battalion level game "A Time for Trumpets" which is set at 1 mile per hex)

No criticism intended here as the game is fun to play and does hit the historical sweet spot which PzC player enjoy, even for pedants like me. How many things which are 20 years old can you say that about???

I plan a Bulge mod. I'm going to use F'40 new map. Do you think that new map is historical enough? it looks to me but I have not dive deep enough into the game yet

I've experimented with the same idea (F40 map for Bulge) and I do believe the map is good enough. When I was experimenting, I edited the map so that Antwerp was present,and enough of the Netherlands so that British 21 AG, US Ninth Army, and German 15th and 1st FJ Army would all be on map. There is a problem in that only 1940 can be used as the year when setting dates. Any of the existing Bulge OOBs and unit graphic sets will work or new ones can of course be created. You probably know all of this anyway.

I wish you good luck with your idea, and hope you carry it further than I did. We really do need a new Bulge title with a larger and better map, along with improved OOBs.
