Desert Map

If I was to begin mapping a desert map, doesn't matter what battle at the moment, that could be open for discussion, could it possibly be included in PR:Normandy, depending on what direction it goes in long down the road?

I'm going to jump in here and give my two cents.

Personally, I don't see a desert map fit in the Normandy mod as I personally think it's meant to stay in the northern reaches of Europe. Perhaps if someone decides to make the Africa campaign? :)

We would need to redo a lot of things like textures on vehicles if this ended up happening. However, I would love to see the battle for the kasbah, not enough epic castle battles in PR ;D

No, we would need a desert themed US army and German army, and/or desert themed Commonwealth countries. Also we just don't have enough statics for it sadly.

The minimod is already full of non-historical and unrealistic stuff, we don't need more to be honest :? ??:

If you want to map you're welcome, but you should try to do more of a lush green map instead. What is really missing in the minimod currently is a big city map, we have some good statics to make a city, you just have to be original in their use ;)

If we ever get brits of commonwealth, Battle of Caen would be great! One of the bigger urban battles of normandy, even if it was fairly late in the campaign.

If someone creates a map for Normandy, even if it's in another area or country even, it's fine by me, but you'll have to do the works yourself. A desert map would require a whole bunch of new textures, don't really see that happening. Although the tanks we have are pretty realistic for the Africa campaign :D .

Same goes for winter maps, but you might get away with that if you don't make it too winter-ish.

Regarding a possible British faction; it's possible to some extent, I think a lot of weapons can be used from PR, BF Korea, EOD, etc. But it's kit geos that are really important and very hard to get. The kit geos used by the US are actually French kit geos from EOD.
If you don't have realistic kit geos for the Brits, it's pretty much a no-go. Other than that, I think we got enough assets for a somewhat simple British faction. But... you'd have to do all the works ;) .

Thats ok, it was just a question, I will look into euro maps. We have statics for this, I just think it would be too repetitive, because there is very little variety in old looking desert huts.
