At Moscow, a cold welcome awaits the enemy!


Patton sends the US forces into action at last!

Curt, each new scenario seems more interesting than the previous one ...

Hehe! Use your tank division to eat those cities!

Thanks for the compliments, chaps -

And thanks even more, Blue Lion, for the new city size updates!
You have done such incredible work - Cheers!

This data I will implement right away...

It is an honour to help you with this scenario and I have a feeling, that this scenario could become your best work ever.

[curtsibling]

UPDATE!

Had a game of the prototype today - Things are working nicely...More or less!

A playtest zip of the first seven turns (June-December 1941) is ready for anyone interested!

Sounds are zipped too, well worth the effort!

Email me and I will send you the goods!

[curtsibling]

A readme is underway too, with appropriate credits and instructions...

In the meantime, I have enclosed a combat tips textfile, and a tech-tree wordfile.

curtsibling, I have sent you an email via Apolyton and I hope you have received it.

[curtsibling]

All I got was a PM from Civ2Units...?

PM me with a valid Email addy and I will sent you the goods!

[curtsibling]

Just finished my own test, playing as Germany in Dec 1941...

Predictably, my tanks were outside Leningrad and Moscow.
Getting a good kicking from the Russians...I dread to think
what the oncoming Winter will bring - ! I am going ahead
in the South, helping Romania, but things are getting tough!

I wonder if the playtesters will fare better...?
Or am I really crap at my own scenario!?

Cheers, Gagliaudo!
I made a choice with this one to stick with Anglified names.

Using the national names for all towns tends to look
messy, when the other half of the map is in English.

PS
Hope you are not put out by that, dude!

I know the feeling ... Playing my 2013 scenario as the Union on Deity (God in the scenario), the CNA always manages to drive back most of my offensives and even captures some "original" Union territory. I usually attribute it to the AI being aggressive and/or competent (which is a good thing, as I want the game to be a challenge...)

Looking forward to this scenario, as always!
