Just making this post so the thread doesn't drop off the bottom. Anytime you have a spare moment, Sarsstock, please post any ideas or graphics on the above post or any other thoughts. Also, when Steph is done that map, could you please post it. No pressure, though, I know you're busy and all.

Sorry for the delay, my Apolyton account was diabled for some bizzare reason and I was unable to post for the longest time.

Anyways, like I said I just don't think I'll have the time to contribute that much to this project. At the same time I do have one idea to add to the story. At the heart of this North American conflict could be the most precious resource on earth.... water.

In the future, severe drought has taken a massive toll on North America. Therefore, this conflict is essentially a "Water War", a war fought over the rights to resevoirs and rivers.

Of course these are just basic ideas, let me know what you think. Being an Albertan, I don't need to tell you how devastating a decade long drought can be.

I like that idea, actually! If you do have any other tidbits for me, just let me know when you get time. And please do send that map when Steph is done it, at least.

Thanks!

Say, Sarsstock, I know you're very busy, but when you get a spare moment, could you possibly whip me up two more mixed flags? I need a mix of the Commonwealth flag you gave me a few weeks ago and the modern Portuguese flag, as well as a mix of (this may sound strange) the modern Ugandan and Zimbabwean flags. If you could do this, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

I'll get right on it. Now as for the gigamap of north america, I wouldn't count on Steph being able to finish it anytime soon. He's busy finishing up Okytobr, after that he'll be working on a scenario based on the fantastic Robert Harris book "Fatherland", then he is releasing the final version of Highway to Hell, and is planning a major update of Blood and Steel.

Congradulate Steph on his Herculean workload (mind you, I'm juggling a few scens currently myself). I look forward to seeing those flags, and feel free to add any more suggestions or graphics to the near-future North American scen. Thanks, as always!

Here's the first of the two flags. I have to admit, the Ugandan and Zimbabwean flags are a tough two flags to combine. Since they both combine coloured bars and stripes its hard to find a way to combine them so they don't just look like random misplaced bars of colour.

Thanks a lot, Sarsstock. As a suggestion, try a vertical instead of diagonal divide for the Ugandan and Zimbabwean flags, like you did for that Indonesian and Philipino mixed flag earlier on. Just a thought.

@Sarsstock, I've had the unfortunate tragedy of having to format and restore my computer without the luxury of being able to backup any data. It seems that when I came back to this thread, everything you'd attached (though not uploaded) has vanished, leaving an empty space. If it's possible for you to find the time (I'll gladly wait a while) could you please compile all your attachments on this thread to an uploaded bitmap file. If you could, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Don't worry about it, they're showing up fine now (must have been a temporary glytch). Anyway, is there any chance of a mixed Ugandan/Zimbabwean flag? I'd really appreciate it, but I'm willing to wait. Thanks a lot!

Once again sorry for the delay. Yes, I am busy but I feel like an ass for making people wait so I try not to do it too often.

Anyways, here are the original Zimbabwean flag, Ugandan flag and two different mixes of the two. Since both are a combination of stripes, unfortunatly they tend to look like a mismatch of stripes and colours.

Not to overburden you Sarstock, but could you possibly make a Soviet Union flag?

(And BTW- Thank you very much for you Raging Dragon flagset. I used it in a graphics update, hop you don't mind.)

Mind? Hell no. I was working on the graphical update long before you were but I was too lazy to finish. Where as you actually got it done and put it out there, so in the end I was just glad to help out.

Anyways, here's the Soviet Flagset. I included a shield for the Russian army, airforce and navy as well as their modern day counterparts.

Actually Typhoon, ignore that Red Air Force shield. I can get a much better one in a collection I'm putting together of air force shields from around the world.

@Sarsstock:
Just posted to see if Steph's made any progress on that grand North America map. I look forward to beginning the Western Separatist scen, but I can't start without the map. Please don't think I want you to rush him, though. I can wait, but just post to tell me about how long I'll be waiting, if you can. Thanks!

Honestly, I don't think he's even working on it right now. He's in the middle of track and field training as well as working on some other scenario's that I've mentioned before.

I'm not sure he's looking to work on it any more, I'll try to inquire but I wouldn't expcet good news. Of course, your free to try to work on it yourself man. I too would like to see this scenario get off the ground, especially with the idea of global warming and severe drought triggering the worlds first "Water Wars", something I do believe we'll see in our lifetime.

In the mean time, try to take a shot at the map.

Well, I'll give it a shot, but I'll probably produce a pretty crude map. I'll also open a thread to see if any map experts who are very familiar with North American terrain can help me. I do like the ideas we came up with and will work to get this going.

Thanks!

Hey, Sarsstock, may I ask one more set of flags and shields (for now)? I need the shields (to a lesser degree the flags) of the Basque and Chechen rebels and the IRA and Polisario militias (as well as any other rebel or terrorist group based in Europe and North Africa since 1990 outside the old Yugoslavia I may have missed). If you could help me out, I'd be most grateful. Thanks!

This thread seemed to drop like a rock down the forum, obviously before you could get to it. I'm just bringing it to the top. Could you, if you find the time, whip me up the new Rwandan flag; not the one with the 'R' in the middle, but the new one, unveiled in 2001, with the sun in the upper left corner. If you could, as well as the above shields, I'd be most obliged. Thanks!

I think the IRA badge is the same as the flag of the Irish Republic... I had a look on google and couldn't find anything specific.

I wouldn't be surprised; the IRA does want to portray the image that the Republic of Ireland supports them, and vice versa. Do you know any of the others? I did remember another insurgency group from the early 90's, however: the RAF (Red Army Faction, not Royal Air Force) in Germany, opposing the 'annexation' of East Germany by West Germany.

Actually, the shields are the important thing; the flags would be a vanity. They're for barbarian units for a contemporary to near future European scenario. The Rwandan flag itself is more needed, as that's for an East African scen, and there I need both the flag and shield. I appreciate your help. Thanks, as always!
