View Full Version : Afraid I can't

I can't do Alexandria I'm afraid. What I can't get past is that long stretch of breakwater. There's no terrain that will suffice for it - ships are too large and their contact points are imperfect and of course they look like ships. I'll be able to post something sort of like Alexandria but without that key breakwater there's not much I can do for it.

Apologies,
Mountbatten

I was thinking about this after trying to set up the famous attack on Kriegstanz (until now I had a long row of sunken ships as the breakwater), and a few days ago I thought that maybe the Bari harbour available in Alfa Tau could do (pic from old Canarb site):

I think Bari is smaller than Alexandria, but could do the trick.

In case it is of any help, here is what I have done until now with Kriegstanz.

It uses the sunken ships that came with the Maiale, and also a model of submarine nets I found somewhere. The idea of using Bari is still not implemented. If you want to take a look at it, I'll send it gladly :) .

Actually, if they still have the original files for Bari they just have to extend it and they'll have a the setup for Alex. Unfortunately my file for Bari does not work. I have Algeciras, Gibraltar and the Arsenal but Bari and I think one other does not work (game hangs).

Any ideas (Willi particularly?)

Didn't notice any sunken ships or torpedo nets with the Maiale but that certainly would help.
