Questions from a newbie ...

[Nikitns]

I don't think there are any Italians in MoW or MoW: AS.

If you want to play with (kill) Italians, you could buy Red tide... Though it is a micro-hell, marketed at hardcore MoW players.

Imo, you should buy the original Men Of War b4 buying Assault Squad. Assault Squad doesn't have any serious single-player, it is all about multiplayer.

I repeat: Buy Men Of War (original) first. Questions:

1. I think I saw some small skirmish-missions about Normandy and the Pacific.
There are no campaigns or mission lines in AS.

2. Think so. At least you could in original MoW.

3. You should wait until people like Kosakov come. I tried using the editor, but I got frustrated at the stupid design decision to use different (less realistic) statistics (penetration, armour, behaviour of shaped charges etc) for the editor and the single player missions, while multilayer has the realistic statistics. Though the editor was pretty user friendly and, yes, logical.

As for Assault squad editor: I believe it is the same as MoW one, except they use only the realistic statistics.

Damn, talking about those statistics made my mouth dry lol.

4. There are such things in the single player missions (like enemy will retreat if they lost X amount of soldiers) so probably. Wait for some other answers.

PS. Don't play mods, their crap for the most part. Play the single player missions, and then move on to multiplayer. Since you are old and slow, play a more easy support role (focus on buying artillery, ammo trucks etc and helping ur teammates).

Thanks, Nikitns.

I wasn't so much concerned with fighting Italian forces as much as setting up Brit vs. German scenarios such as Gothic Line stuff, etc. I was more asking about terrain and could I create a passable northern, hilly Italian-looking map.

To clarify ... does the original MoW have West Front stuff included, then? Can I at least get my Normandy fix and create scenarios for Brit/Canadian/Yank vs. Germans?

I'm not into playing full campaigns, just short bursts of missions that I can sometimes set up units and map for myself.

Thanks (trying not to get too of topic re: AS forums).
