Does anybody know if there's any operations (or campaigns even) in existance for "Operation Beached Whale" mod? The mod and the whole setting of "Seelöwe" look great, would be nice to play it, too! (There doesn't seem to be any battles included in the mod itself...)

BW is a great mod, however I don't believe there are any Campaigns for it and the only OP's I played were ones I generated myself. Others will scoff but IMO I think BW was the most balanced CC3 mod ever constructed. Both sides are armed to the teeth. Now we wait for the reply from Mr. Starfury!

well OB,in the words of a great american icon ill say Surprise,surprise,surprise. hehhehehe.Its not our illustristrious Star that will reply on this matter 1st but me
.You are still think that BW is the most ballensed mod.well.......,i guess everone is entitled to ones oppinion.I must disagree though.I think OX did a good job on BW and i actually played him on BW on the very 1st day of its release.There are several things i would of done differently in BW.Mostly little data changes as i thing some are not as accurate as they could or should be.The main thing that comes to mind is the MAUS.Its too fast man. I have not played it in awhile but when i get a chance i will. CC3 isnot even installed on my machine at the momment. I got CC5 on my HD and thats it.Im planning to set up a dual boot system pretty soon and i went ahead and deleted it untill i get my new OS's loaded. My faverate mods are by far WF and RR. oo yeah i can here it now bout RR. Well,i actually like RR and WF in its current version is far more ballenced that BW ever thought about being.Just a oppinion there. Well i got to go. see you on the zone OB Branden

I actually have planned, as a future project, making a grand campaign for the Beached Whale mod. I have a couple books that talk about the planned invasion and will based it on them. So if no one beats me to it. There will be one. (I am thinking it will be next project and hold off the Panzer Lehr sub mod.)

Excellent news Diegrinder! I've always wanted to see how Sealion would, or would not have worked on the ground. "Panzer General" and "Europe in Flames" give a pretty good strategic picture, but wanna see the whites of their piggy lil Erich eyes!
   Are you going to do it as a 1940 invasion, or as per Ox's idea, with Mice?    Power to your elbow!

How do you think I would do it? Are there specific things I have done in the past in campaigns you liked? I am always interested in feedback for campaigns. I think I have made 12-13 campaigns so far. Off the top of my head I am thinking of trying to make it "in the present" sort of briefings and make the AI a challenge. I was also thinking I would have to make three different campaigns one for British AI and one for German AI. And(or) one for H2H play.

Yeah, Diegrinder, you're the man! Thumbs up! Just an idea: might be possible to implement some of the WF-Aiborne invasion stuff in order to create some scenarios of Fallschirm assaults on key positions...and have Otto Skorzeny cry havoc... This would of course be great stuff for a CC5 mod, too, have the roles reversed...but in any case, Beached Whale should deserves a good campaign of its own.
