That's a lot of work on your part and I'd happily pay ten or fifteen bucks for this battlepack. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.X Posted June 5, 2023 Author Share Posted June 5, 2023 @Bearstronaut: Indeed, I have asked BF, if there was the possibility to give support without any financial interest. The result was: no reaction - but this is ok At the moment, this Pack is like a start up = good potential with no finished product. So, now it is my turn to provide a finished product of high quality Regards Mr.X 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.X Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 Just in time for the anniversary of âOperation Bagrationâ here comes a short update for the WIP: @Phantom Captain is still fighting bravely through the âTiger-Trailâ Campaign and until now it seems as if the missions work fine The âInto HellâCampaign also runs playtesting. âFive Bridgesâ and âPartisans Landâ will start with further test rounds soon. For the âOur Fatherâ Campaign I am creating 4 maps of the town of Mogilew, based on historical maps/pictures - what proves to be more time consuming than expected because most of the city lay in ruins  So, whatâs the next step? In 3-4 weeks I will need a playtester for a special and huge Mission which is a defense action against a main Soviet Breakthrough Attempt on 22nd June 1944. That for now. More news to come.  Regards Mr.X   6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.Herm Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Hello, for those who are curiously awaiting the release. Like I am. Two links which I find interesting about the topic Mogilev 1944. https://pamyat-naroda.ru/ops/mogilevskaya-nastupatelnaya-operatsiya-operatsiya-5-go-udara/ https://luftbild.1871.by/overlay/mogilev/#lat=53.9003&lng=30.3333&zoom=15 Regards, M.Herm  4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.X Posted July 14, 2023 Author Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) @M.H.: Before the Germans occupied the City with heavy street fighting in July 1941, it had about 100000 residents - in June 1944 it was an accumulation of ruins with German supply bases, workshops and POW camps, while there were almost non of the former residents left. Remains of German 12th ID, 31st ID and âFeldherrnhalleâDivision (on their retreat from the broken frontline 40km east of Mogilev) were forced to try to defend the so called âFortessâ  from 27th till 29th June and were encircled soon by Soviet Units from North and South which had crossed the Dnjepr-River against weak resistance before. The dramatic hours from the evening of 27th June to the final stand will be the theme of this campaign.

Mitte deserve a lot more attention. Fought under impossible odds they are nevertheless worth studying more. Same goes for the defensive battles of the second half 0f 1943 and the first half of 1944. Superb screenies btw.  Edited July 17, 2023 by Aragorn2002 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2 reichs-pfennigs of thoughts are that MAYBE this awesome work here gets him noticed and down the line he is recruited and brought into their fold, signing the NDA, becoming part of the harem or stable of scenario writers. Maybe he will get to do Kursk campaign when BFC releases CM Operation Citadel in 2043 or 2044. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.X Posted August 27, 2023 Author Share Posted August 27, 2023 Short update: There are two news - one bad and one good The bad one: due to an unexpected vacation, I had to stop my work since last week... The good one: When I´m back home on 13th September, I will continue with work powerfully  As I told before, it is a huge amount of things to do AND I want to have a product with quality - so, I have to adjust the release date for a (hopefully) last time: With the experience of the last months, I am almost sure, that the BattlePack will be released as a Christmas gift  Regards Mr.X 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.X Posted September 14, 2023 Author Share Posted September 14, 2023 So, back @home and returning with CM-Work Sometimes, a little break from creating/testing AI-plans is very helpful to get new motivation and to avoid the âCombat-Mission Designerâs Burnoutâ - a serious mental disease, well known to everyone who ever has created a Campaign Regards Mr.X  8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
