Happy to be here

Hi yall,

my name is George. I have collected and played the Delta Force series from the day they came out.
After seeing ‘12 strong’ I realized I wasn’t quite done mapping yet and was lucky enough to obtain a copy of JO.
With servers and sites down after Novalogic being sold, I had nowhere to go and nothing to install after JO:E ( except Black Hawk Down, Team Sabre and Task Force Dagger on the side).

Initially I focussed on creating animated action/walkthrough hybrid videos, both with and without music, both based on Task Force Dagger campaign missions and real life events such as Operation Enduring Freedom. It seemed like a great alternative creating animated cinema with the mission editor, although I knew it would never replace mapmaking, sharing and playing.

Then I ran into this forum and managed to install AW2 and am now officially hooked. I also actively started reading again about military history; partially interest, partially source material for future maps.

My latest video (and a future AW2 map) will be about Operation Eagle Claw 1980, except in this timeline the third helo never breaks down and subsequently the mission is (still) a ‘go’. I’m about 1/4 into creating the (Game Music) Video; the AW2 map will start at infill by truck because of the memory limit in JO. With the video making business I can do a bit more because I create separate scenes that together form a longer story that isn’t limited by memory.

Above all grateful to hook up with other fans and mapmakers. Thank you all for having me. I will do my very best to entertain with some decent AW maps to come, ranging from Command & Conquer: Red Alert adaptations, Metal Gear Solid 1 for PS1, Task Force Dagger adaptations, Operation Enduring Freedom/Anaconda, Operation Gothic Serpent, etc.

Kudos for Captain for his patience and helping me register.
