Wesel counter attack (512^2)

Thanks,

Have you got anything in the pipeline atm? What about your Hurtgenwald map? Or did you delegate the script-part entirely to Gehtnix?

I did, but haven't heard of him in a while. Still got my Crete map without script on my hd...but as I'm too stupid for scripting, I fear it'll never be released.

Just try scripting something yourself, it's a lot easier than it seems. The 'synthaxis' of scripts is expressive and doesn't require any traditional programming skills (as im sure you already know). If you need any help I'm happy to assist you.

I agree , its easier as it seems, but its not soo easy as you tell here. Especially for large/very large maps , and if you want to simulate some random element. You have to be well organized , and the limited number of locations and AI-groups is a real mess.

After 2 1/2 months of working on my first map I know its a lot of fuckin' hard work to get it done.

True that. Organization is key. It's best to document your use of variables to avoid having to spend forever trying to figure out what a timer or cell was used for.

What are you working on btw?

Fictive Scenario. A tale about a German Major getting serious trouble in Russia after having a too close look at his Fieldmarshalls daughter .... But there is still a lot of work to do before I will be able to show the first delta version to public.

Looks really sweet. I appreciate your discipline in creating consistent, realistic looking woods. All vegetation seems to be matching in terms of season, thats also a nice detail. I also like how you have condensed the vegetation into sizable woods, interspersed with fields of varying sizes. I dont really know what to make of them, but the yellow, sandy lines cut nicely into the terrain giving the map a sense of depth. Great work

On a critical note I would suggest adding a bit more variation in the arrangement of buildings in urban areas of the map. Your cities and towns do effect a slight 'parkinglot' feeling atm.

Hallo,

eine schöne Karte.
Wie Nevux bereits schrieb, könnten die Häuser anders zueinander platziert werden. Nicht jedes Haus steht in der Realität einzeln.

Die Straßen schneiden direkt gerade durch die Karte.
Wie wäre es hier mit ein paar Kurven?

Gruß Ente

Hi

I'm now playtesting the map .. again .. I've implemented several considerable gameplay changes because the previous versions of the map were just too damn hard. This means more reinforcements, even less frequent attacks, less heavy AT guns for the enemy and more cappable guns (most 17 pounders are now cappable without sabotage). Also jabo attacks are less frequent, although now involvng more aircraft per attack.

I will take some snapshots as I progress through the mission to give you an impression of the game.

I'm burning through my fuel supply at an alarming rate so I will probably have to assemble an attack group of just a few heavy tanks and use it to capture some enemy fuel as I don't have enough gas left to refuel a large number of tanks for a mass attack. Resources are the main incentive in this mission as any approach that holds them secondary will result in loss of mobility, nullifying your offensive capability.

I have just repelled a massive attack from multiple directions with minimal casualties. I did have to reload the game to achieve this result as I was caught by surprise on the first go and lost control of the supply station, leaving the wespe battery stationed there all but destroyed.

Unfortunately, Diersfordt (town in west) was lost after I put my guns there on hold fire to prevent them wasting ammo on infantry. I then forgot to toggle it off again causing the town to be overrun by cromwell supported infantry.

BETA 2:

I gave up after about 10 hours of play. The outcome of my offensive fell way short of the ambitious objectives. I did destroy all 3 Issel bridges but was forced to withdraw across the northern canal when my Tiger led spearhead was annihilated near Hamminkeln. I then blew up the bridges across the canal to seal my right flank so I could point my attack in the direction of the Rhine, across the crossroads. I did captuere the crossroads but lost the bulk of my armour in a series of enemy attacks that followed which completely exhausted my offensive capability.
My poor skill may partially explain although I expect the mission will be a challenge for most player.

So your telling us you get beaten up on your own map?

yes . It fits the scenario to lose though. A grand strategic victory for Germany in late march 1945 seems highly unrealistic given the war situation. This doesn't mean the game cannot be won but I expect it to be very hard for most players. Personally, I think it's more fun to struggle and lose then to win a game with ease.

Looking forward to any feedback

After 360 minutes 50 +\- enemy airplanes attack my defence in Diersfordt and destroyed all my units! Error in script or ?

[nevux]

Your troops in Diersfordt were overrun and wiped out? Thats possible. When your garrison in Diersfordt has sustained substantial casualties the hold-ground orders are lifted , after which you may attempt to break out through the Diersfordt forest.

Can you give me the map work to play, I want to spend time on leisure
