campaign?
« on: December 29, 2008, 01:18:32 AM »
if there's supposed to be a campaign, I have some ideas for missions:

1.Kursk
Commander is asked to make defences and defend area from about forty assorted german tanks and infantry units, but has full access to combined arms doctrine and several lines of mines, trenches and at, guards infantry only.

2. Orel counterattack
Commander is asked to push forward from positions (is same map as Kursk but extended, damaged bunkers and destroyed tanks etc) given several tanks, to mount guards infantry on, a few katyushas and some access to other side of mechanized tree. Faces some infantry with small anti tank guns and masses of german tanks at really close quaters.

3. (flashback sequence) Moscow defence:
Given control of infantry regulars and ski troopers, propoganda tree, few t34s but a couple of kvs and t35s. Thrown into allied attack on a village with mg42s and mortars and 2 88s (evil I know)

4. (continuation of flashback) Stalingrad operation Uranus
Commander uses several katyushas to blow german lines to pieces, then joins alliedtank attack on heavy german defence, but while allies are destroyed, goes around defences and flanks it

5. (flashback end) operation ring:
Commander joins attack on red tractor factory (last german stronghold)
Mostly infantry attack, city fight tree and a few tanks. In recognition for taking factory, Zhukov gives player and his company order of the red banner and guards status.

6. Operation bagration: mixed attack by soviets with tanks and infantry. (mission details needed, but lots of "forestry" involved)

7. Romania 1944:
Winter again, commander given is2

8. Berlin
City fight with best of german army and Hitler youth. Uses is2s , artillery and Stalingrad assault veterans. Reaches one aa tower and destroys it with charges. Resting player remembers Stalingrad again, resulting in last flashback (rousing music... The next nut we need to crack is gonna be difficult, but were  no strangers to that...)

9. Early Stalingrad: propoganda
Volga landing, enemy at the gates style, storming waterfront, conscript killing etc... Objectives done, mission ends but restarts with commanders troops ready for attack on mamayev kurgan, wins and builds trenches, huge german attack, player ends with a few troops left and after attack is taken back across Volga by NKVD with last 6 men.

10. Berlin (no, not Reichstag, ty cod5! 8) ) "the monster"
Mission objective is a huge factory with maus or some other huge german unit
And several infantry. Player ends campaign using huge pe8 bombing run.

Phew! Any questions?

This isn't finished, and only if u are adding a campaign...
However the campaign involves operation citadel, the first two missions being the biggest by far, and the flashbacks give added detail of the beginning of the war for the Russians (excuse for t-35! :) ) so I don't think much change would be needed. Feedback please!!!

got it, to be fair this is only a layout as I've already said

We can change mission to entirely msmayev kurgan and some fighting in Stalingrad itself, perhaps taking the train station

i read a mamoar of a german soldier who escaped the seige of stalingrad when the rusians took it back. it was werry interesting they actually killed a few ss and nkvd troops on their way back to the german lines.

Nice campaign idea, but instead of a PZ VIII Maus, make it this monster: P. 1000 Ratte



The mapper/modders Hernry666 and Mannerheim are working on one, you could ask them.

There should also be a German campaign

MY idea:

Mission one: 1941 Operation Barbarossa
Commander has to break through the Russian Lines.

Mission two: 1941-1942 Winter defense
Defend against a Russian winter counter attack.

Mission three: 1942 Stalingrad, entering the city
Basically break through Russian lines, it'll be like the first mission in Caen in the OF campaign.

Mission four: 1942 Stalingrad Defense
Commander has to defend the banks of the Volga... gets MG42s and AT guns with mortar teams.

<Intermission- Pulls out before encirclement>

Mission five- 1943 Operation Citadel
Commander has to break Russian lines, but then retreats because of Reinforcements.

Mission six: 1943 Karhov-
Commander has to defend train station for a certain period of time.

Mission Seven 1944- Somewhere in Poland-
Defend... (working on it)

ALTERNATE HISTORY- 1945 Mission eight Sellow Heights-
Commander has to defend a line of bunkers. Just as hope seems lost- a barrage of v2s annihilate the Russian Army.

ALTERNATE HISTORY  Mission Nine- 1945 Resume attack on Moscow.
Commander has to break through heavily fortified Russian line, but has Jagdtiger and Maus support- along with V1 strikes.

ALTERNATE HISTORY  Mission ten- 1946 Moscow- Red Square
Has to assault Moscow red square, has to destroy supper heavy Russian tanks (JS-3s, that multi turret thing.. SU 152...)

That's it, or you can feel free to replace the alternate history part.  ;D

Tanks will never look like that: too slow! Hit enough times with arty and it'll explode

Returning to campaign, no alternate history I don't think, but Germans need another campaign I think...
