I will target to have the battles ready by Sunday evening!

Tier 4 will be some allied winter uniforms. Trying to figure out how to do it. This quilted jacket may be doable in place of the M43 Uniform!

OK, for my testers, I uploaded the Tier 2 Axis Greatcoats folder. See our PM. I will continue hard work on Tier 3 which will be some allied winter camo vehicles as nice looking as I can make them in today's and tomorrow's allotted man-hours.

It took a while but I got the greatcoats and gloves for the axis troops. Some white helmets too.

@mirekm61 First the good news. You will fight against a nice Italian guy Marco2marzo. The bad news, no King Tiger to ride in for this battle! Where do you desire to be on the battlefield? In a StuG or as an on foot HQ?

Hi Kevin, I honestly don't plan to mess with any of the terrain. It came from CMFI GL as is. There are some terrain gurus out there that do that stuff and maybe at some point they would be interested to do some fine tuning? Meanwhile I will be working to get you a snow camo T-34 that doesn't scare people when they see it and maybe an axis tank. I can get us greatcoats for the axis but the soviets I am not sure what I can scrounge up. Right now I have the tanker coveralls in a nasty bright white but will tweak it. It would be really nice for more folks to step up to the plate and contribute. I don't mean the guys who have done so much for us, I mean some amateurs who probably could get into this if they just spent an evening or 2. oh well. Onward!

OK, you will be up against Snols. The battle is being prepared. Where would you personally like to be on the battlefield? <*Baneman*> in an HQ tank or as an on foot HQ?

Excellent. You also have 4 Sturmoviks supporting you! EDIT: Oh, where do you want to be personally on the battlefield? In the turret of the IS-2 or on foot ?

That is not an attack yet. They ran out of Movement Points to assault into the city. Pick only the 2 battles down by Migojo!

I appreciate your comments and advice. My mistake is to show it before completion so it is natural that everyone makes such notice of the whiteness!

I know. I know. It was work in progress. I will probably just hang this up. Nobody seems interested to help with the modding due to it being a busy time of year.

I am trying to get you some winter vehicles for each side and some troops to write a small scenario! Today is a good day so I will try and work on this T-34.

@Snols Which battle do you want? You answered first!

@Marco2marzo @Snols Of all the guys who expressed interest way long ago, only a handful actually showed when needed for whatever reason, no offense to them I hope... But now you are our only 2 true communist heroes. We need you to each pick a battle and as Comrade Slimovich said, kick the Germans in the teeth.

I have also checked to see if the axis file has been returned. No reply yet. It always takes a few turns to work out the kinks. But he did have a defensive set up as well for the greater overall battle. Maybe he is positioning everything down to the Luger? "....little to the leftttt...bit more..bit more...RIGHT THERE!" EDIT: YES, his defensive set up is still in progress...maybe a day or 2 more! But then it should kick in at the usual rate.

Hi Bulletpoint, This is "Budapest '44" a title in the "Panzer Campaigns" series by John Tiller Software. Yes, there are zones of control and 3 different options for the rules regarding moving through an enemy ZOC. I went with this Nyakleves as the option that it is possible to cross through an enemy ZOC but at increased movement penalty. The 2nd option is you flat out cannot pass through enemy ZOC. The 3rd option is that you can only if you leapfrog through friendly units in the hexes you transit through. The option I picked seemed to match this period of the war, the terrain and the mechanized nature of the forces. So, those Soviet units were in travel mode for best distance achievable and only got those few hexes. They suffered significant penalty as they cut through there. They were also shot at by those axis units ("ADF" Automatic Defensive Fire) ....but lady luck was on their side and no effect was achieved. They could have taken losses or been disrupted. I am not an expert at what is best but try and experiment with this hybrid mix of the 2 games.

You want some H2H CMFI GL Canadian action? PM me and I will take good care of you....

Hans focused through his thick glasses to see if these devils really did wear baggy pants.

23rd Army Command Dispatch: Scout forces have approached the enemy town of Nyiregyhaza and see it lightly defended by a small Hungarian unit with some armor. We have word that a platoon of Penal Company infantry are guarding several immobile T-34's along the Migojo road. See below map. If the axis forces do not attack to destroy the isolated group, they can potentially be "rescued" by Soviet forces entering that hex during Turn 4A.

It will be fine!

OK, the Allies have made their many moves and declared 2 assaults. Unfortunately the moves included one deep into your rear that has cause an "isolated" status to appear. They have JUST cut off your supplies and the results will start to be seen in battles starting now and the impact gets uglier as long as you let the isolation continue. Here is what you can see. The 2 assaults are coming at the forest dwellers, (dark blue against red) and that hex next to them (light green against yellow). You also had a small pioneer zug enter on the map by foot. There is also a very odd unit (in black) that appeared but you can't see much about. Does not yet seem to be motorized. Small size overall....

Excellent! I will process it and provide feedback. Thanks Comrade Slimovich... EDIT: It can all happen as you asked except the forces sent up to recon Nyirgehazaya cannot conduct an assault THIS same turn. They ran out of MP. (I will provide recon report from them a bit later.) I will rack up the 2 battles. Get me 2 trusted commanders! EDIT: the 27th has 14 tanks, I will fix that next time. They came back from crew replacement. Lots of crew headshots during the attack on Migojo.

Ol' numb nuts is back at it....
