Mr.X Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Some days ago, I have finished most of the research for my new campaign project and started map-making. In this thread, I will search for testing volunteers from time to time and provide information about the progress. Also, I would be pleased for any suggestions, because I would like to create the campaign as playable/enjoyable as possible. This means, I will attach importance to: - manageable number of units/troops - middle sized to huge maps with the possibility to manoeuvre - single battles, where players do not have to watch the clock too much - as much historical accuracy as possible BUT without too much disbalance During the campaign, the player will command elements of the heavy tank company of the SS-Totenkopf-Division, which was equipped with Tiger tanks. Attached to this core unit, there will be several other formations of the Totenkopf Division and other units belonging to the SS and the Heer. The campaign will lead the player from June 1944 in Romania to the fightings around the Grodno area in July 1944 and then to the defense battles east of Warsaw from August 1944 to September 1944.

Mr.X Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 So long, map making in CMRT seems to be much more fun than in CMBN - wide landscape, small villages, no bocage... so, the progress is faster than expected... By the way - is there any modder here, who would like to create some "Totenkopf"-stuff ? Regards Frank 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.X Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 @GhostRider 3/3: Thanks, I will send you a pm when playtesting starts in some weeks. I will try to find enough testers, so every volunteer should only test 1 or maximum 2 single battles... @Fizou and Lille: Thanks guys, I´ll do my best At the moment, I am already dreaming of CM maps until now, three maps of > 1,5x1,5km are finished and three of about 1,2x1,2km are under construction...and some more are waiting So, I hope, you will have patience with me Regards Frank 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childress Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Very promising, 'Mr. X'. Look forward to the release. The map is great! By the way I researched your personal data. Your name is Franz Huebner, you live in Dusseldorf and manage a BMW parts factory. Your wife's name is Hilda. Sorry, but someone had to do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.X Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 After about 6 years without CM (real Life, Children, work etc.) my motivation seems to be reborn So, the idea of this campaign is indeed resuscitated. No promises about the date of release...but there‘s some time left until the new Modul is out... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintere Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Sounds fantastic! I’d definitely play if you’re able to pull it off. Let’s just hope the module isn’t too far off in that case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need inspiration I recommend the new book by Douglas Nash on the IV. SS-Panzerkorps and the battles for Warsaw, July-November 1944, called 'From the Realm of a Dying Sun'. Excellent book, based upon previously unpublished material, including many contemporary German records that had been thought lost but have been recently rediscovered in Russia and made available for researchers.Must have for a Ostfronter! P.s. I take it you are familiair with the Waffen SS mod for CMRT? Edited March 7, 2020 by Aragorn2002 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm reading that book now and it's very interesting. Good material for the upcoming module. Volume 2 is coming out later in the year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
