Artkin Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Hi, I feel that this scenario is good enough to be released. I'm in the process of play testing it right now but I really can't wait to push it out. It's a HUGE scenario on a 2x2 map. The theme is a German counterattack along the Don river on September 3rd 1942. The map is Nikishnye by @Zveroboy1and uses two early panzer mods by @kohlenklau (Links at bottom). Forces are elements of 24th Panzer Division attacking elements of 39th Guards Rifle Division held out in a large town. The Germans have to cut off the bridgehead over the Don. Non-historical (What if?) scenario but with historical formations. I will put in an upload request to TSD3 shortly.

Erwin Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 A BIG thanks Artkin and Koh... Suggest you name the scenarios with a "EW" prefis so we know it's early war and can locate them easily. (I have almost 300 CMRT scenarios in my folder.) And thanks for making the mods tagged... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Tried booting up the smaller 6th scenario but loading got stuck at 76%. Also, re the mods folder, doe sit all go in MODS folder? Wasn't sure about the folder with the .txt files. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, re the mods folder, doe sit all go in MODS folder? Wasn't sure about the folder with the .txt files. the folder with the .txt will go into documents -> combat mission -> red thunder -> game files -> mod tags. but it's not necessary unless you are building your own scenario with them since it's already baked into the scenario provided. If you are getting stuck at 76% the scenario may be too large for your computer. What are your specs? Processor model, graphics card model and amount of ram? 59 minutes ago, Erwin said: Suggest you name the scenarios with a "EW" prefis That's a good idea, but I've already landed on the Blau naming scheme, and I hope to make more under these. I do understand the need to organize everything though. My CMRT folder is also a huge mess with the crazy amount of content made for it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my laptop, so: Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz, 2592 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s) Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 A bit old but I've never had a total stop before with anything. Going to try the others now... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artkin Posted February 20, 2023 Author Share Posted February 20, 2023 That is strange. I hope someone can verify that the file does indeed work. I'm playing it pbem right now with someone. Maybe it was corrupted on upload? 5 minutes ago, Vacillator said: Yeah, sorry to say me too.

Going to try the others now... I've had that very processor before in an alienware r3 17" 2016 model and it was ok, but I was pretty disappointed with it. I found that my games studdered and lagged like crazy. I had to get rid of the laptop on the cheap. I think it might be an issue of lacking horsepower to run the scenario with that processor. Still, I'm surprised the scenario doesn't even boot up. Mine hiccups at 49% but after that it moves quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artkin Posted February 20, 2023 Author Share Posted February 20, 2023 Oops I totally forgot to mention that this is A H2H scenario!!!!!!!!!!!! The soviet reinforcements that come in don't have AI plans! So if you can't run the scenario as is, you can delete out the soviet reinforcements and play singleplayer without them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well maybe, but just checking you do know there are 3 scenarios in the download, not just the one in the title of this thread? The Counterattack scenario loads fine here except for the images on the briefing screen, but the one enigmatically named '6th' which Erwin and I were referring to does not. I'll try the third one which is Moltke Bridge. Edited February 20, 2023 by Vacillator 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacillator Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 So the Moltke Bridge loads, but has no briefing and looks like a work in progress based on the FR battle? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah OOPS. That's the problem. I've accidentally linked the entire folder when I only meant to link the counterattack scenario. Yeah that 6th file has 150,000 pixeltruppen and about 1000 tanks. That will never load. Moltke bridge works but will eventually crash, I need to downsize that one a little bit. @Erwin Edited February 20, 2023 by Artkin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything so it's easier to find em. Also, my machine plays huge scenarios fine. I chose 6th as it seemed small and short. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacillator Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Okay so we should just be looking at the Counterattack battle - to be fair that's what the thread title was . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artkin Posted February 20, 2023 Author Share Posted February 20, 2023 Yep indeed. 6th is just a TOE for the entirety of 6th army for when they started their offensive in July. They were the largest army in the Wehrmacht at the time I believe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
