I'm a bit curious to try to make a mod, or in other words a battlescenario. I've seen how events are written and it doesn't seem like a complicated task so I thoght why not give it a try.

Now the more difficult task is finding a good battlescenario idea, preferably something that hasn't been made yet. I checked out the Balkans scenario briefly, that might be something to consider. The invasion of Greece sounded interesting at first but as the Germans step in the scenario gets so uneven that I don't know if there's a point in making it. It's two Greek armies and three UK divisions against a whole lot of Germans and Italians. Unless of course we make it a bit less historical and perhaps add events for reinforcements if the Allied forces can hold off the Axis long enough. Perhaps there's some hope for that idea after all...
Another idea could be the invasion of Yugoslavia (actually I don't remember if that scenario is already included in the game). That too has the problem of being one-sided conflict.
One more that crossed my mind was the UK - Iraq conflict 1941 although it seems a bit too small again for my tastes.

Any good scenario ideas anyone?

oooh yes, a sea lion would be so cool... It's just hard to make a plausible scenario that's not a pushover for either side...

Oh yes, a definite winner! :p There even seems to be an OOB available in wikipedia. This is definitely worth a try... I just hope I won't screw this up, an excellent scenario idea anyway.

Well, now I have an OOB for the ground forces although not a very explicit one (a result of reading a lot of newsgroup postings). I guess I'll just have to improvise a bit...

Can i suggest a what if scenario bassed on a Japanese invasion on Australia/USA/New Zeland?

Also a historic scenario about the liberation of Phlipines would be great.

I know that it is not easy but the suggestion is made... ;)

Invasion of Australia already exists as a battle scenario. It's the Coral Sea one.

Good posts everyone.

I've already selected my favorite though, I'll be working on the "what if - sealion" scenario with Atruejedi. A truly interesting topic...which also relies a bit on historical inaccuracy to be playable on both sides.
