The Borscht Wars CM Black Sea Campaign
- Thread starter Rico
- Start date
Let me know if you want a hand Rico.
Au yes, re-read thread this morning and now remember what one problem was ... hexes and map needs to be slightly larger to make it less crowded once all the counters are in place.
Will have a new look at this.

Still interested, but on leave till nov 6th due to Uni 
Had some time this morning to resizing hexes and map to about 105% of earlier size and jigging quite a few of the counters to make them more visible (whole thing was a tad dark).
A pain the butt, but it was worth it, now more room within the hexes for the unit counters and other markers.

This looks interesting to be a part of. Have played CMBS way too little and this would be inspirational.
I would be interested in playing if it gets off the ground.

Would like to participate as well! Looks very good so far!
I'm guessing 2017.
Something creepy about that horse in the window.

It's a favourite at work when people ask where's their data and we know the results are looking 'not in the ball park they expected' when the query was made.

So, Aussies vs the world, right?
While @Bootie and @Ithikial are off designing & developing the official CMBS narrative, serious hard-core campaign -- I have revamped the map for the Borscht Wars from a hex-based map to one with zones to fight over -- each zone contains a dominant terrain type -- there are 7:
1. City - which will be the fighting for the actual urban area
2. Woods/Forest
3. Wooded farmland
4. Open farmland
5. Open steppe/grassland
6. Wooded Hills
7. Hills/Rough
each of the above may also contain small villages and a few small towns are on the map itself.
This is a straight-up war between two small ex-soviet republic countries (one side will use Ukrainian kit -- one side Russian, with lots of shared equipment) ... each side has 4 cities with production points which will allow for the building and upgrading of units -- there will be a equipment points shopping list and production delays... etc
The basic formation is the Tank, Mech or Mot Inf Battalion Task Groups (called brigades) -- with support units attached -- helicopter and air support available as well. - CMBS battles will be fought out on relatively large maps (minimum size at least 1500 x 1500 metres) in average 40 minute battles
There's a lot more details to add, like how the zones are fought over etc...
I am looking for a player to play test this against me to test the game and combat system over the next few months...

This is shaping up nicely, can't wait to play!

Looks amazing - the campaign map looks like a real game in itself.
