As I imagine a great many people are here, I am somewhat of a military history enthusiast. One of my objectives in working with RA2YR is to eventually develop a series of campaign scenarios paralleling the history of modern warfare from the end of the American Civil War to the present and possible near future. Prominent themes include the development of infantry technologies and tactics, the introduction of mobile warfare, the introduction of air power, the development of naval tactics, etc, along the lines of different era's, each era with its own technology levels, but based on historical events. For example:
1) 1865 to 1890- The Age of the Rifleman
2) 1890 to 1910- The Rise of Artillery
3) 1910 to 1925- The Dawn of Automated Warfare
4) 1925 to 1950- The Golden Age of Air Power
5) 1950 to 1970- The Missile Eclipse
6) 1970 to 1990- The Computer Age
7) 1990 to 2000- The Era of Stealth
Cool 2000 to 2010- The Mobilization of War
9) 2010 to ???? - The Future of Combat
10)<undefined> - Advanced Warfare
I envision each era having two campaigns, one for each dominant faction of the time, and possibly having multiple alternate history versions for each possible outcome of the previous era. This would need a gargantuan amount of work, seeing as by the tenth episode there would need to be five hundred and twelve different campaigns!! Some scenarios would be ends unto themselves, but others could have fascinating twists and turns. This would be an epic series if carried out to the conclusion, the crowning achievement of the entire RA2YR modding community, combining good storylines with good modding, artwork, etc...
Yeah, its ambitious, but if you can't dream big, why dream at all?
