That second shot looked like it was going to be a headshot. These concripts are honed in! Hope I dont lose them soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sid_burn Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 This man survives a direct penetration from a Panther at fairly close range (300 meters or so) and doesn't even button up. Order of Lenin for this man. Posthumously of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Captain Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Driving hard into eastern Kalinowka 10th Kompanie and a platoon of Pioneers supporting, still find pockets of resistance and the Soviets make us pay a price for every inch of ground we take. Resistance is fierce, the quiet village is deafened by the sound of combat and the assault of the Panzergrenadiers. The dead and wounded tell the tragic tale of the epic struggle. The StuGs have done their deadly work followed closely behind by my infantry. Every house is a danger, my troops take nothing for granted and do not let up fighting for every building, foxhole and fence line. While the men fight and lay down sheets of fire one of my Pioneer flame tracks creeps into position while his MG suppresses. The defenders may soon regret their decision to remain in the village. Feeling victory in our grasp, again our over-aggressiveness costs us. A hidden Soviet AT gun knocks out another of my advancing StuGs. Pioneers continue to leapfrog up protecting the left flank as the Germans get closer to finally seizing the village. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Captain Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) On my right, 9th Kompanie and their supporting Pioneers have fought ferociously to take the crest of Point 208. Jumping from hole to hole, while being supported by a platoon of StuGs the men do seize the hill. Only an image can convey how brutal and close the fight for Point 208 has been. Friend and Foe alike lie next to each other in death as the battleline has ebbed and flowed across the ridge. The snow and cold only add to bleak harshness of this war. And still it isn't enough. Holding the top of the hill only invites Soviet artillery to blast us off and spotting rounds begin to fall. The men are discouraged but know they must fall back off their hotly gained ground to escape the enemy barrage. In doing so, an enemy gun unmasks itself to blast it's deadly canister at one of my HQ units and another of my men pays the price. Falling back, one squad of 3rd Platoon 9th Kompanie finds no cover and must rely on getting as close to the snow covered ground as possible. Needless to say, their position is an uncomfortable one. As eastern Kalinowka teeters on the knife's edge, 10th Kompanie brings up the reserve platoon to take final control of the village. Our flame track puts the final nails in the coffin and eastern Kalinowka falls. Full energy can now be concentrated on Point 208. But even then, our task is not over. We must again cross a frozen marsh and stream and seize the village of Delhonosy on the other side. We must continue to seize and hold the initiative...

Artkin Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 11 minutes ago, Erwin said: Incredible achievement... I agree, there was a lot of work put into the map. I personally play it without the textures because they hollow the insides of the buildings. I like to play indoors a lot, especially with these massive structures. My only criticism is that the buildings need more doorways on the inside. Maybe I'm wrong though. I tried looking up floorplans for one of the buildings and came up dry. If some magic man comes by and knows where to find historical berlin floorplans then I'll give it a realistic go. :) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warts 'n' all Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Not a bad map, and obviously a lot of work. But, I think there are far too many advertising columns, and civilian cars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The great thing with having the map, the user can simple open the map in the editor and change to your own preference, it's easy to remove cars etc. Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you like the map? Edited August 9, 2022 by NPye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quakerparrot67 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 yes, i like the map very, very much. you really have taken the visuals and immersion to a whole new level. i've also been playing with your stalingrad and bitgovorod mods/maps a bit- you're really good at this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also do you want me to send you the Floor and ceiling files with the them showing rather than invisible? Sure thing, here are the pictures. I especially like the little CMSF-esque trench I accidentally made which is alongside the bridge. A lot of soldiers will die trying to cross that, especially when you put mines in it. Looks like a great place to cross until you think about it. I considered filling the whole thing with trees and bushes, but I've held off. That too, would totally change the dynamics of this map. Indeed I also removed the metal girders in the water as well, as said you can change the map to your likening. :) I would also appreciate those files please! Please send them over. I have dropbox if you do too. Edited August 10, 2022 by Artkin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
