Wargame: 1939




We have decided to do a smaller sized wargame with much more immersion. We wil lhave one operation with each player leading e. g. 2-3 infantry regiments, one tank regiment, artillery and one special regiment. I will make a new thread once finished.

Rules will follow soon.

NO RESERVATIONS YET!

*SEARCHING FOR GOOD MODS*

Looks cool. A nice change from BoP. Btw you have 1939 on the thread but 1938 on the title.

If you remove the political roleplayer it'll be just like a BoP.

Just out of curiosity: We could also make the 1939 Wargame something like, you know, just one historical year, with given alliances etc., and players are just playing the General Staffs of the large nations, e. g. the war with France 1940 can be played with having General Staffs of UK and France on the one and Germany + Italy on the other side. Each general could control e. g. one division or something. I think this would be the best way of simulating a war. What do you think?

Does anyone remember Duuring's Napoleonic era forum game where you could choose which regiment you would lead? We could do that maybe, but in 1941 with Operation Barbarossa.

Yes I have something like this in mind. We could take any huge operation of WW2, each player takes one or more divisions and acts as General. I think this would be really cool!

You could add like a hierarchy of ranks and what they command, for example:

Army - General
Corps -  Lieutenant General
Division - Major General
Brigade - Brigadier General
Regiment - Colonel

So for example, the Army would issue orders to Corps leaders, who would issue orders to Division leaders, all the way down to the Colonels.

Instead of divisions, you could also do small-scale scenarios with players commanding only one batallion/regiment or small brigades. One can think of scenarios like the invasion of Danzig, but also Netherlands, Denmark or Norway.

You could have like a storyline, with each battle deciding what will happen in the future.

Barbarossa with 3 German Generals and 3 Soviet generals. (Northern Army, Middle, and Southern romanian and german forces)  Would be keewl. And later on a US Player and a Commonwealth play could d day, while italian player fights in north afrika and who cares about asia

I'm trying to make the game big where every battle will have an effect, but I don't want these battles to be a mess with 200 000 men on each side where it's so difficult to keep everything organized, but that's what WW2 battles were like! I'm starting to think if I should make it like Duuring's old napoleonic forum game (if anyone remembers that).

Start what? I'm still working on this and still trying to figure out which style of game would be the best. You really didn't help me to decide.

Do something like say each player is a commander of certain army groups. So heres a example Operation Barbarossa (Example: Army Group North, Center and south for Axis. And North,Northwest, West,Southwest and south front for Soviets.) Each of the Army Groups are commanded by a player. If we did individual armies that would be too hard to manage and we would need too much people.

Invasion of Poland, I think that would be a really good starting point. The start of the war, the units are all organized, and we can play straight away. Creating characters too, maybe?

I don't like the whole character things. We should have generals leading an army and fighting each other and also dealing with industry, recruiting more units, and dealing with political issues such as allies ect.

Well, maybes not create our characters, but roleplay as fictional characters from the time. And I like the sound of that.

That would work.

The battles however should not be decided by a mod though.. maybe something more realistic? There is an app Called European War 3 on Apple if you want to use that as a guidline orrrr use dice like risk or something.

Don't think so. I'd be willing to start this in a Napoleonic or WWII style but I don't know if people would be interested.
