Red Front 1.5 Final Version here for Civ2

[Colwyn]

Ok everyone after 1 year of playtesting and development the update to the original RF 1.4 is out at last with special thanks to Agricola

Will you Joseph Stalin be able to lead the Soviet Union to final victory??

This version features new units, a modified map, changes to the tech tree and events and much more (ReadmeRF1-5.txt) for more.

Three reccomended playing levels depending on your RF experience, Marshal, General and Colonel.

Only hints I will give is that:
You must develop the urals to be able to take the war to German soil later in 44/45.
Inland freighters are very usefull esp in winter
AA defences are important.
Offensive attacks must be made in force, build up before you attack or your gains will be lost next turn.
Check civopedia's for unit changes etc
Don't expect to reach berlin until 45.

(Reminder no actions allowed in the phantom June 41 for you, just hit Ctrl+N) it will then take you straight to your turn for July 41.

I am giving it a go ....

Can I upload it to the SCS, Colwyn?

I thought this was going to be a 'patch' to Nemo's scenario, rather than a complete scenario? It's a bit dodgy from a plagiarism point of view.....

That title gif is good!

"This is Igor calling HQ! I am about be run over by a burning T34!"

Not really, so long as it is made clear what nemo did.

Bugger, just realised I forgot something I have just now updated the zip file with the changes so you can download again or you can make the change yourself.

MV of 3 for both labor/labor brigades in rules 2,4,6,8

Will have to check this one out when I get home.

I understand that, Go Postal, but last time I asked this question he said he was going to post a patch only, rather than a complete scenario.

Appreciate what you have done for us fans of Nemo's Red Front.

It is helpful that all files are together.

The only suggestion I would make would be to place Nemo's name in the title - like this:

Colwyn's update to Nemo's Red Front v1.5.

Or something like that.

Also, it would be great if you could tackle Nemo's Battle of Britain scenario and finish it.

Cheers!

As a playtester for both RF1.4 and BOB Blitz I can say that finishing The Battle of Britain would require fixing the AI. I believe that being unable to overcome the AI like he did in Red Front was what drove Nemo to give up scenario designing for Civ II. I have not communicated with Nemo since Alex came to visit America a couple of years ago, but believe he would not mind haveing Red Front updated/modified so long as credit is given for his original design work. I am playing 1.5 now and generally like what I see, but only to August of '41 so far.

When I first started with RF1.5 years ago I asked him about it and he was ok.

The main thing to note is that the Readme1-5.txt is the original one but with a 1.5 section. So there can be no mistake about the original developer as his name is all over it.
