Ithikial_AU Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Eagle eyed players will have noticed that the fictitious Black Sea Crisis that forms the basis for CMBS is meant to be occuring as of right now through to the end of August. Ask pretty much any scenario designer who's done a historical scenario in the past, they will probably tell you at some point they've fretted about the weather conditions both in the lead up (to accurately reflect the ground condition) and during the engagement they are trying to model. Unfortunately there wasn't something like the world wide web and global weather services in the 1940's and details aren't always readily available for most CMx2 titles, but I'm glad to say we've made an advance since then. I realised in May there's a bit of an opportunity here to help out future scenario designers for CMBS by collating weather details from around the Ukraine during this period so the engagements that designers want to work on match up somewhat to weather conditions based on location and time of day. Sadly I'm taking off on some much needed vacation time from mid-July onwards so ideally it would be good to get a team of dedicated weather watchers to plug in some results on a daily basis for specic locations scattered around the country. All you need to do is ensure a bunch of numbers are entered into a spreadsheet in the appropiate places. Everything else including which website to visit has been taken care for you. If interested drop us a line at the link below or send me a PM. (No meteological degree is necessary). http://www.thefewgoodmen.com/thefgmforum/threads/silly-idea-ukraine-weather.26013/ Cheers in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUCASWILLEN05 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 From WW2 history accounts of Kursk indicate he incidence f heavy summer thunderstorms. This is supported also by Nipe's Decision n Ukraine. These sources indicate that heavy downpours can occur and that these have highly significant effects on ground conditions. Another condition to watch out for would be high temperatures particularly over July and August Some possibly useful data http://www.climate-zone.com/climate/ukraine/ hthttp://www.weatheronline.co.uk/weather/maps/city?

MikeyD Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 You got me curious so I simply typed 'Kiev local weather' into Google and got a weather report similar to any other city's local weather report. Humid today, getting into the 90s a week from now. And we're into the middle of the game timeframe, June 2017! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithikial_AU Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 It doesn't look like much yet but the idea is that at the end of the 3 months of the 'Black Sea Crisis,' any scenario designer can quickly look up what the weather was for that part of the Ukraine on a 3 hourly basis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
