Target locations Western Front

[Moggy]

This is the target layout that the original TWF gang set up:

(not sure what those targets in the channel are. Suspect they were spare bases which were going to be used elsewhere)



As you can see the bases and target locations are very close together in the northern western front area: this shows it better:



The original TWF team frontline rune down the middle of this concentration of target locations.

We are going to have thin these out to make the scenario playable, a smaller collection of frontline bases and target locations for the western front, whilst keeping the major bases and towns (= bombing targets) away from the front.

My suggested new frontline makes possible some action in the Italian/Austrian front as well.

EAW2015 also has a target down there in Northern Italy, right on the coast. It's so close to the edge of the map that you hit it the border flying east by about 20 miles. Looks like your frontline is a little further north so that shouldn't be an issue.

I only put one target down there and no others along the frontline because I just wanted an excuse to put some WWII Italian fighters into the mix. I suppose you'll put a few more down there so it doesn't look so empty.

Of course, this means I'm going to have to come up with some Italian and Austrian aircraft.

Italian/Austrian aircraft not a priority at the moment. Something we can look to down the line, but I will put in some relevant targets down there. I did have some that way in my original 1940 setup.

I'm going to proceed by compiling a list of relevant bases and targets for each of the periods.

Just checking in to say I m still working on target locations. I have a more or less complete list of French bases from here:

... and British, Belgian, and German bases from here:

So I am working out how many of these we can actually use, since we cannot use all of them (far too many).

Ray - which version(s) of the target editor do you have, and do you have which can convert lattitude/longitude into EAW X/Y grid locations?

I have TED2021V1.exe dated 11/10/21. Have you got a later version?

[rotton50]

I'll have to check on which version I used.

I have a question.

Are you going to have cities as targets or are you concentrating on airfields and other frontline targets?

[Moggy]

Thanks.

I was going to have towns and cities, and perhaps forts and trench systems as bombing/strafing targets.
