The Propaganda Ministry Calls for Replays

[Imperial Dane]

Yes indeed ladies and gentlemen. The Propagandacast is spreading out a bit in material to cover and is now going to cover the EF mod a bit as well. All depends on how well it actually goes in terms of getting replays. If i get none, well i can't cast anything. And i'll try and perhaps get some matches with the mod myself.

Until then, do send in replays to Propagandacaster@gmail.com. Details like length of game, number of players, name of them, who you are in the game. Things like that are quite appreciated. And certainly also marking the email and replay as EF mod would make it much easier for me to sort it out with all the other replays

So cheers to all of you and hope to get some replays.

P.S. And as some have pointed out. In case you don't know my channel. Why not go have a look ?

Never thought Propagandacast to have interest in EF, as a viewer of your shoutcast (though not a frequent viewer) this is a good news...

Sadly I don't have any reply but I guess you can see the current Great War Tournament for source of replay...
Some of the games there are worthy to view and shoutcast...

Hope it helps somehow...

Well here is the first Episode :

I'll probably do these once a week unless there turns out to be a larger demand for them.

[Alexander 'ApeMen' J.]

i realy like the shoutcast

looking forward to see more EF casts in the future XD

[Cranialwizard]

Yes, was a very good cast for a first time EF guy

[Walentin 'Walki' L.]

Wow nice shoutcasts always enjoyed them, even before you made the EF ones .

Small note:

The Command Squad doesn't provide a nearby bonus (like brit officers). It gives a global bonus to every infantry unit when gaining veterancy.

[Imperial Dane]

Already had several point that one out to me But i''ll keep that in mind for the future. Still getting the hang of all of this

But glad you all liked it.

[Killar]

Took some time, but i watched some replays that i still have in my folder and picked the best ones.

I can´t describe every game (8 replays) but one is remarkable: Darcreaver vs. Glimmerman133 (he plays decent on this one ) on Karachev

3 heavy mortar + RHS urban doctrine with sniper ace you hardly see normally. In the end glimz crushed him with 3 panthers and a tiger ace.


Other games are mostly 2vs2 games, decent to GG ones.

HF casting!

Cool stuff, although some where the soviets win would be nice too This is the Propagandacast and not the People's commisariat for Glorious socialist truth. But it does need a bit of variation

But keep on sending them in or linking them or whatever

[Imperial Dane]

And a new Episode is up.

Watch as the 23rd Tank Corps hammers into the lines of the 147th Infantrie division desperately holding on until Panzers can arrive to stem the Red Tide.. Will it be enough though ?

Where do u get these names from?

[Imperial Dane]

A bit memory, a bit of .. artistic license in the basic rules of numbers and naming. Usually infantry units would run up to several hundreds, armour units with a few excepts were usually below that.

Otherwise the trick is to remember that the soviets used some different naming conventions, either for cultural or deception purposes. But generally with the except for rifle divisions i think. (and even then they were not fully equal to a western infantry division) They were generally given a larger unit designation. So what would be the equivalent of a western tank division was a Tank corps, cavalry would be cavalry corps and so on. And a soviet corps would be an army. And thus it would go on.

Also one thing is that the soviets did have a bigger and more powerful formation than the Tank corps, the Mechanized corps. Which was a more strong and more combined arms oriented formation, with more infantry, more assets in general. A tank corps would have a few more tanks, but that was it.

Imperial Dane if you want to be particularly creative with a Soviet unit name use Independent xxxx Division (or whatever other unit of size you would like).

My great-grandfather was called for retraining right before Barbarossa and was assigned to an Independent Sapper Division as a Politruk (a Commissar of sorts). Records my family has found indicate that this was in fact a NKVD division created for assault purposes, not a sapper division of any sort.

So if you think it was a particularly harsh, tough or entertaining match I suggest you give the Soviet divisions fighting in it an Independent nomenclature. That or a Guards nomenclature .
