Ardenne Valley is back!  Now using the handy OCP sector system.  See the overhead below for more information.  This map set in a dense pine forest with a German depot and a string of fortifications in the hills.  This map uses the strategic sector layout.  Please give it a shot and post your feedback here!

Will give it a try soon.

[Unkn0wn]

Thanks will open it up in the WB .

[Apex]

Map looks sweet, will try it out asap.

[Kolath]

IT WORKS!  At long last, it finally works!!!      Huge thanks to Stranger, minehold, thtb, and everyone who helped in testing to iron out the bugs!

Now that it works, the new mission is to balance it.  Specifically I am interested in sector balance and positioning.  The sectors are asymmetrical currently, Axis spawn has fewer sectors, but are much closer.  See if that works out alright.  Also, try to determine whether the hill is too defensible.  Thanks a lot!

Adding to MD

New version!  http://files.filefront.com/6p+ardenne+valleyzip/;9313064;/fileinfo.html

Please test out the new and improved, OF-compatible version of Ardenne Valley.  Come see what 4,000+ pine trees are all about (seriously that is the total count of pine trees in WB).

Previously people complained that the map was too open.  I closed off more areas, so please tell me if I need to do more.

Installation: put the .sga in your \Europe In Ruins\Archives folder.  This should work with the mod automatically, if not, Unk0wn, can you have FL add this to the module?

[Unkn0wn]

Already is in the module file .

[Kolath]

Excellent!

[DasNoob]

This map is very nice now.  I love the sector changes... the trees give a great feel.  People should play this more, it's almost a new map.

[Kolath]

Thank you, DasNoob!  Glad to hear you like it!  Do you feel that the sides are fairly balanced now?

When you played, where did most of the fighting occur?  In the past most combat happened around the small bridge by the depot and a little bit in the hilly radar station.

[Skunker]

Last game I played the radar station wasn't really a big deal, the central hill and the depot with the bridge was where all fighting occurred by in large. I find that the hill has too few ways to be flanked, and thus becomes a dominating point in the map. If you intended it that way, then it's good, but just keep in mind that it tends to be a marker: if you control the central hill you can control the flanks.

[Thtb-Ally]

It has enave way´s to be flanked. I was attacked on that hill from 3 dif. direction´s (and frome behind at some point)

[Unkn0wn]

Can we have this one fixed ASAP?

[Kolath]

Patience, Unk0wn.  I'm doing it today.

[Kolath]

New version:  Now it works again: http://files.filefront.com/6p+Ardenne+Valleyzip/;9431473;/fileinfo.html

Try it out and let me know how the sectors are.

[Unkn0wn]

Sweet. Added to map database.

[Unkn0wn]

You should consider a snow version .

[Kolath]

Yeah I will be tweaking the sectors again after I watch the replay from last night's battle.

A snow version would be awesome.  I'm hoping there could be a way to take the textures from the BoB mod.  Or that Relic will make a russia expansion with snow terrain.

To all players: Please post replays or suggestions for sector rework.

I am trying to decide between fully sectoring, or trying to maintain a French-Countryside-esque sector system.

[Unkn0wn]

You don't need special textures, just look at this:

Or you could do like that St.Vith map.
