Nikki Mond Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I am about to release another battle. Operation Winterbrau. Febuary 1943. General Manstein reorginizes his forces after the fall of Stalingrad and takes the initiative rather than opting for a static defence while the ground is still frozen. He gives the go ahead for Hoth to commit a series of armoured thrusts in the Bielgorad. Catching the extended Russians off Guard. You command a Panzer Kampf Kompanie plus attachments, tasked with protecting Hoth's flank. This is a meeting engagement. EDIT: This battle is now posted you can download it from CMMODs: CMMods Link to all TOW Mods Here! or Badongo here WinterBrau Site 2 [ January 02, 2008, 04:36 PM: Message edited by: Nikki Mond ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikki Mond Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 This is the pre-panther era. Schirtzen has made it to the stugs. The russians are rolling T34's off the assembly line, giving four hours training to the crews and sending them straight to the front. What odds are you facing? Depends. Same historically. 1 to 1 if you kill in a timely fashion. The Germans were successful in these knife fights. Aim high for the guns, recognize a gunless T34 and move on. Control your tanks personally. Don't get tied down with the infants, but you'll need them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nachinus Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Good, good! Too much empty space in that CMMods ToW section! A big kudos for those modders working hard to fill that site with ToW mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webwing Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Great work Nikki!!! I can't believe how few missions there are for TOW in CMMODS! For a game release such a long time ago... :confused: -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikki Mond Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 Thanks. The battle is posted now. I should also mention this is a BIG map by TOW standards. Download WinterBrau at CMmods Here There are 29 mods for TOW at CMmods. And I think it will grow once the advanced mapmaker, and the humongo patch come out.

Webwing Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 29? Very little in my opinion. If you count only the missions is a bit more than 10!!!! Some are just tests not even proper missions. Anyway I'll try yours. Sounds really good. I'll post an AAR here once I finish it. -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boog2006 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I liked it. Thank you. One thing though for those that are into this sort of thing, Feb '43 is a bit too early for panzerschreks (or fausts) but they do come in handy. SPOILER WARNING The reserves came at just the right time each time. I found I had just enough to complete the objectives. I thought the AI tanks moved logically, and I liked how they "knew" to take the high ground and then try to move around behind me. And the extra aviation present was a nice touch Again, thank you.

Gnasher Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 As soon as the patch is released I should have a full campaign ready within a few weeks. Things that have stopped me releasing to date are the custom map, skins, & models that I've used being in a format that I can release without buggering the original missions. The changes I've made to the Caen & Cherbourg maps both crash the original stock missions now.... So yeah, once the patch is released there will be alot more missions. I am sure as there will be hopefully an easier release mechanism that isn't gonna get a truckfull of whinging of the 'You broke my mission' kind. Ideally it should have been there from the start ..... But you live & learn & clarity comes with hindsight!

Those were actually captured bazookas from Tunisia being field tested... seriously tho I realized that after...but the weapon tables didn't allow slotting more than 1 patrone, and that as sole weapon. Thanks for trying it out and the AA comments. I wanted to get these out before the humongo patch. I think the game will play differently with the LOS changes.
