kohlenklau Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) @Heinrich505 Wonderful story Gary! Thanks. It really adds a new element to my photoshop and scenario editor stumblings in the snows along the Lovat!

Heinrich505 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 A snowy death. The tank crew never heard the screams. A color version for comparison. Heinrich505 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrich505 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 The tank crewmen hear the high-pitched scream of a siren. It can mean only one thing. Air attack. By the time they consciously realize their impending doom, it is too late for them to do anything but stare at each other in horror. Their lives are snuffed out seconds later. Smoke wafts lazily from yet another grave in this snowy Hell named Cholm. Nearby infantry flee in terror from the explosion. The tank from the previous post had only 3 minutes to live after that turn. They were torn apart by a Stuka attack. Heinrich505 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrich505 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Max has survived the attack this day. He used up his belts of MG ammo and had to use his rifle. He realizes that he now has the dubious distinction of being No. 1 gunner for the heavy MG. He cups his hands to call to his comrades that he will get help, but they have to hold on. There are still Russians nearby, but they are pulling back. The Stuka has broken their back and on-call artillery has held them at bay. The siege at Cholm continues.

Bulletpoint Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Interesting thing about Cholm: Before Kohlenklau did his map, I never heard of the place before. But I looked it up, and apparently it's pronounced "holm" with a hard h. That's actually a Scandinavian word, but it means something like a small peninsula, and Cholm isn't on the coast. Then I looked at the map and saw that it's located on a big bend and fork in the river, forming a peninsula... I think there might be some historical connections here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBC recently produced an excellent series about the Vikings. Cholm stands on their river-based trading route with the Byzantine Greeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, I first learnt about it on a novel by Michael Crichton, The 13th Warrior? Edited October 27, 2016 by BletchleyGeek 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were all your tanks on the right flank distracted by the infantry? How many tanks did he have against your three? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many tanks did he have against your three? Yes, they were distracted by two groups of infantry on the left and on the right. Not sure if that was deliberate, but it sure worked. Five against three, usually not terrible odds for hull-down Germans to take a couple shots and withdraw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glubokii Boy Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Hello... A few screenshots from a scenario i'm working on. The setting is Operation Konrad (the German-Hungarian effort to relieve the encircled garrison of Budapest during the Battle of Budapest in January 1945). The player will be commanding a reinforced infantry company tasked with providing flank security to the german spearheads as they are advancing forward. Sure enough...as the german panzers have moved ahead russian reinforcements are launching counterattacks against the flank of german advance. Your task will be to defend your sector of the flank. George MC have very kindely allowed me to use a cut down version of his outstanding 'Carius at Malinava' map. I have also added the WinterMod to the scenario. This results in some pretty nice visuals... The good guys.. and the enemy... My goal is to have the scenario finished before the end of this year and so far eveything is comming along nicely... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
