Gentlemen, I humbly announce my first (first ever would be more appropriate) campaign. It covers the fighting from Second Jassy-Kishinev offensive, through Belgrade offensive, lake Balaton fighting and finally it ends in Vienna.
It has 14 missions:
-4 of them cover Jassy-Kishinev offensive; most of them are offensive, though there are counterattacks in them,
-7 missions cover Yugoslavia; 6 of them Belgrade offensive, while 1 is covering battle of Batina (one of the largest battles on Syrmian front),
-3 missions cover Hungary and Austria, of them two cover Operation Frühlingserwachen, while 1 covers Vienna offensive.
Campaign is played, obviously, from the Soviet side.
Currently bb is helping me put the campaign together. On the other side all maps are completed.
I would also use this as and opportunity to thank all of those who helped me with campaign, namely:
