Thanks In RL Nicolussi-Leck had 7 panthers in Kovel to twart any red army attack on the town, hopefully you have a bit more tanks. About the mines in mission 6: i for one dont like missions with mines but i thought that the soviets would either blow up the bridge or place mines in front of it. Blowing up the bridge was not an option because then no AFV's could cross therefore mines.

Mortar Accuracy mounted/unmounted?
Lille Fiskerby replied to NeoOhm's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
I have not tested mounted/unmounted mortars so dont really know but it cant be that big of a difference. What I do know is that on map mortars are more accurate than off map mortars. -

The StuG battalion was a veteran unit, saw action in the Crimea in 42/43 under Manstein. I think I gave one of the platoon commanders elite status, maybe Klapperstück ? -

It is in the Pripyat marshes. Looked at a lot of pictures from back then and the foliage seemed very "wild, "uncultivated" and based on the old polish maps I tried to create just that. Even today some areas around Kovel is pretty wild based on several "tours" with Google earth camera. -

Nice job, Phantom Captain and with 18 minutes to spare. Looking forward to the second mission, if you will be so kind to share some photos of the mission, please. -
His photo collection is quite impressive, now I have to start reading a book I bought a few years ago written by Nash/Spezzano again : "Unternehmen Ilse" a one day operation that was carried out on the 27 april 1944. The operation was to clear the rest of Kovel for red army units. Highly recommended reading but pretty expensive book.

You are probably right. Would be nice though, for the immersion I mean and the USMC has done extensive training in Norway in winter conditions.
