Ithikial_AU Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Late to the party but the was well worth the long fight. Started before Christmas and just managed to finish this beast. A good tough fight that found the right balance between being a challenge but not stupidly hard.++++Spoilers++++My tanks made mince meat of the Soviets at range for minimal loss (though surprisingly the Tigers didn't do the heavy lifting). My real problem in this mission was the limited infantry under my command. You go through them quick clearing those villages and the odd half track brewing up to a hidden AT Gun.I was tempted to ceasefire around Phase Line 2 on account of my infantry losses and looking down the barrel of another two villages to clear but pressed forward with my tanks. A few were knocked out as you'd expect without close infantry support, but managed to beat the Soviets into a surrender before I myself clicked on the ceasefire button.Soviets: 417 KIA, 192 WIA, 12 MIA, 34 Tanks, 5 Armored, 21 Other VehiclesGermans: 77 KIA, 90 WIA, 0 MIA, 9 Tanks, 5 Armored, 1 Other Vehicle.German Total VictoryVideo about halfway through of one my assaults.Recommended.

George MC Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Hi @Ithikial_AUCheers for taking the time to post your comments and feedback. Your video is well cool - really enjoyed watching the action. Great to see a mounted attack with a heap of overwatch. Looks like you ae better at that than me. My guys jump out of their SPW usually only to be mown down cos I failed to totally suppress the bad guys!By this stage in the fighting 5th panzer was pretty much a spent force. Most of the grenadier battalions were down to little more than reinforced company strength, especially the SPW units. In RL this attack ground to halt along the line Osinowka/Bialkoszcyna in part due to running out of oomph and men. So the scenario I hope, and it sounds like it did, recreates that last gasp 'do or die' action. Good effort on securing a Total Victory.Thanks again for the feedback and fine words of praise. really appreciated ta 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Migo441 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Couple questions on this one: Has a revised version ever been published or are we still on version 1? Regarding play balance, I see in the first post there was a suggestion that this would be "a tough one" as the Germans. Is there any consensus on that? Do Soviets appear to have the advantage? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George MC Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) Hi @Migo441 Re your comments - this is a historical scenario so the forces are not balanced. It was never designed for competitive H2H play but if you are interested in fighting a historical event H2H without to much regard for the outcome ie. who wins then it might be worth taking for a spin. In RL the German attack was ground day as they fought through various PAK fronts and met increased resistance from the Soviets as they counterattacked with armour and more PAK. Eventually the German attack ran out of steam. Against the AI this is winnable although it's a tough slog. Against a wily human opponent it will be even tougher. The terrain is to the Soviets advantage but the Germans do have a great many Panthers and Tigers and arty support. But as I say it's not "balanced" re force etc as what most H2H players seem to like. There is a revised version but based on my own playthroughs - makes it even tougher! Improved AI plan for the Soviets and some better positioning of assets. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9utcncif8j73y8v/AADD-i2_aRAkij-35ovFMGR1a?dl=0 Hope you give it a shot as it's one of my favourites and in my personal top 5.

Attilaforfun Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Only 3 years later. This scenario is easily worth the necro. My son and I are playing now. Perhaps 20-25 min in. He gets the Pz IVs and a company, I get the Panthers and a company while the Tigers and reduced strength (two platoon) company make up the reserve after taking the initial farm across the bridge. It's even further reduced as a heavy mortar barrage landed just as congestion reared it's ugly head at the farm just past the initial heavy bridge. Awesome. The reduced state of the grenadiers makes it feel so believable. I love this scenario. I have been playing CM since the CMBB Demo. This is the most fun I have ever had. Thank you for making it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for making it. Hi @Attilaforfun thanks for the feedback. Good to see this being played. The map for this was a monster so pleased to see it still seeing action. Like the coop playstyle. Does sound like you are both doing well though given where you are and that amount of time into it. Thanks for playing this and a huge thanks for taking the time to post your feedback it’s much appreciated ta Good luck to you and your son for the next phase of your attack cheery! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOS:96B2P Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I don't know what engine it was created in. I have played it with Engine 4 and it is a great scenario. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Hi George... One of the reasons I just bought a super computer was to play your huge scenario. However, when I used the above link to d/l I got a BETA version 2 dated 7/19/2015, and I already have a version dated 2016(!). Do you need to update the date? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George MC Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Hhmm... I don't know how you got a version dated 2016 but the only version (original) I have on my HD is Beta version 2 dated 2015. So regardless of dates its 'CMRT Der Ring Der 5 Panzer Division_v2 BETA' you want. I never did anything else to this version. Now hopefully with your new PC you can enjoy this - combat recce and tank vs tank duels at 1.5km Edited April 6, 2020 by George MC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
