Hello all,
I have been working on creating a scenario for the Yamasee War 1715-1718 in WIA. I am using King William's War Scenario as a base. I have added in all the native American villages (Creek, Cherokee, Catawab, Choctaw, Chickisaw and other small tribes in the historical locations) and the French, Spanish, and English cities and settlements from Mobile to NYC. I have added in most of the military and colonist groups. One thing I am trying to do is reduce the unit sizes from battalions to company size. King William's war starts with the company sizes, but--upon reviewing the startup for the French and Indian War scenario--I can't seem to see the differences between the two scripts. Does anyone have a give on reducing the unit sizes from battalions to companies?
After I get this done, I'm going to try to convert some of the events from the King William's war scenario and Pontiac's War to meet the historical and potential ahistorical outcomes of certain tactical decisions. For example, 1) the raising of forces from King Williams War (for the raising of troops for Charlestown), 2) the humiliation of the tribal chiefs in the Piquot war (to represent the humiliation and eventual shift of the Catawabs after the defeat at the ponds) and 3) the shifting loyalties of the Iroquois from the F&I War after the capture of Albany (for the shifting of the Cherokees to Carolina after the defeat of the Yamasees in mid 1715). Does anyone have an event scripting guide to help me out with this?
I am primarily doing this for my own fun, however, I would be willing to share the work if someone has interest in the final product.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
