Russian Campaign

[ford_prefect]

60 tanks is a crap load (you should also just add a Berlin map at the end sense it would be kinda dramatic you know maybe just a three minute video of the fight to get up to the roof to put the red flag up (then make the map a good skirmish map)
all in all a great idea!

[Loupblanc]

 60 tanks is a bit much !
 20-30 okay, but 60? Lol!!!

 Erm, and remember, no units can take part that were not
 in Berlin, according to Ford

 otherwise, it's an amazingly good effort. Das Taub

lol dude I just don't understand why Finland they only were involved in a very few amount of battles and plus they never fought alongside their German counter parts (if they did it was not for long)

[Loupblanc]

 Sigh. Well, I don't see why soviets, british, or americans ought
 to be included then. Seeing as they were overall only in few
 battles the germans fought against.

 Or perhaps only the most important opponent of Germany
 ought to be included, the soviets, and the other factions
 deleted? How's that?

Or Yugoslavs. That donation money is still up for grabs

Some way back i saw a reply talking about "an elite unit fighting in every battle which is unrealistic" I assume that was about 13th guards? The fact is that simply put, they fought in almost every major battle on the eastern front and saved Stalingrad from falling early on.

Love the continuation of Minsk dude, some good writing going on there!

As for a sniper ace campaign, good idea but only for a mini: a full blown campaign would have to be much larger

just wondering, what do the devs like in these campaigns so far?

[Rikard Blixt]

I personally requested Das Taub to complete that campaign a few days ago.

That's all I say.

No further comments!

I'd almost killed myself to death with anxiety 

[Loupblanc]

 !!!! #$(*@$( AWESOME
 - Still think Soviet should get a 2x T34 call-in, like PEs with
 2x Panthers (That way, it'd help assure the presence
 of the silly things on the battlefield in numbers)

 - A dev? Here? Lies! Figment of our imaginations
 - Das Taub : Great work, excellent writing

[ObiWan]

i have an idea...
How about :
Battle of Stalingrad ( almost everyone says that lol )
Fall of Berlin ( Capture Reichstag )
and somekind of battle in seelow heights ( armoured Warfare )

[Loupblanc]

 I'm for that. The more the better

Hi, I have some suggestions on Russian campaing. Read and suscribe!

Mission number 1
Primary objective destroy enemy positions
scene: Square,3 mg squads and some German rifle squads are killing lot of suppressed conscripts. There are coming more and more conscripts (a bit like d-day mission, but squads are of your computer ally). You will get one command squad and you must destroy enemy positions by using of heroic charge.
Primary objective: Prepare defenses and return counterattack.
You will get ingenery troop and one command point. You can active only mg dud got so make it and you will get 300 mp and objective build mg dud got there.
There are attacking lot of German infantry, but you and conscripts are repelling counterattack. After about 5 minutes incoming two Nazi tanks(pz 4 or 3) and killing every soldiers...
cutscene: some conscripts try run out, but danko will kill them and say we never retreat
when tanks kill command squad, mission will end
medal-don't lose any soldier of command squad before tanks start attack
mission number 2
cutscene, danko stand up, he's allright, everywhere are dead Russians. “oh shit“ some Germans are incoming. danko covers behind part of destroyed wall. Somebody gives him hand to mouth. Its Russian sniper and says pshhh! After exit of Germans danko says „I must get out of there“ sniper „ok but take normal gun not this small pistol. Danko will take normal rifle.
Primary objective- get to soviet command
now you have sniper team, you have all sniper team abilities including arty strike plus and recovery of teammate (something like in ToV campaigns).
medal objective- kill the German sniper
after getting in base you can choose between sniper ace campaign or Stalingrad campaign.
Stalingrad campaign continues with attack of t34s and sniper ace continuous with sniper team action (in cutscene will be killed teammate of sniper and now will sniper become to sniper ace.

some more missions ideas
Kursk battle
primary objective-defend the line
at the start you will get some infantry, 3* su-85 and 2* at gun, you can in base build everything without t34/85 upgrade and is-2.
There are attacking 2 waves
first-infantry,6*panzer 4 and 2*panther; their attack after one minute of mission start
second-infantry,8* panzer 4 and 4* panther; their attack after three minutes of mission start
Tiger incoming, destroy him!
Now will arrive tiger 1 and escort(some infantry)
when will tiger have 1/5 of health we will see cutscene how is receding tiger killing attacking t-34s. It looks that tiger will retreat. Boom, tiger is down! On stage comes isu-152.
primary objective-get Germans out of close village
You will get isu 152 and 4*t34+tankriders
In village will be infantry(with panzerschrecks too), at guns and !elephant!.
medal-destroy elephant

and one guerilla mission-behind enemy lines
You have 3 guerilla squads, you can call how many squads you need, small pop limit.
primary objective-take and hold the bridge
secondary-liberate prisoners(-2*red guards)
medal -destroy convoy which will cross junctions through the bridge after 15 minutes of mission start (one halftrack with infantry, Opel trucks and 2* AC).
prisoners are guarded by 2*hmg and ac, bridge is defended one side(East)with mg and trench with one infantry squad, the second(west) with one aa 88mm flak and trench. On the way to bridge is small village with radar station, There are some soldiers, hmgs and two halftracks. On the map are motorcycle patrols(on roads) and sometimes some infantry squad.
You can take bridge only from the second site(west).
If you take radar station, you will get para ingenerys and zis-2 after taking the bridge and after taking bridge we will see cutscene.
cutscene-partisans are taking flak and mining bridge
You have 3 minutes to prepare defenses.
primary objective-hold the bridge than will comes Russian forces(15 minutes)
first ten minutes
west side of bridge –pz3s,pz4s,pumas,halftrucks,every types of infantry
east side of bridge-infantry(all types),light armored vehicles
last five minutes-
west side of bridge-2*panther,1*tiger(14 minute)infantry
east side of bridge-1*pz4,some pumas, light armored vehicles, all types of infantry
after 15 minutes are incoming 2* is2,infantry and retake the bridge
if Germans take the bridge after 10 minutes of defending, bridge will blow up, mission will be done but you can´t get medal.
