Idea: Alternate history campaign

GlobalExplorer · 01-23-08, 01:24 PM

Lets face it, searching for convoys in the Atlantic is getting kind of old. Having played this game for years now, I am still thinking about what could be done to get myself interested again.

Has anybody considered an alternate history mod? I mean it does not have to be a total conversion, a bit more fantasy concerning the historic tactics would be enough.

The germans might not have captured the french ports, but have bases in Iceland / Africa / South America. The situation could change during the war. At a certain period there could be the opportunity to attack the home fleet in its bases, with reduced patrols in their ports. At another point the Allies are on the offense and are blocking the german ports with destroyers, and even attack with their fleet. Wouldnt it be cool if the patrol would start with the breakout from your base? Possibly you would see battles going on, or you could cross the path of an Allied submarine that lies in ambush. And at the end of the patrol you have to sneak back in.

I just wanted to post this little idea of mine, SHIII modding has become a bit too technical these days, it's more about details and not about the imagination.
