I've received reinforcements, and completed the two next objectives: Seize the Ridgeline & Assault the Strongpoint. Now I'm waiting for the two German counterattacks. I'm playing your updated new version. I think the mission is rather easy (IS2 are very powerful & German artillery is very weak, though indeed at this point of WWII battles Russian superiority was very high).

Excellent progress.
First version of this map was much harder. One can say almost impossible. However take two things into account:
1. In GZM, or any other modification besides MB/MK or still unreleased SJ mod, not a single German arty piece has a long range. K39 and K18 170mm are exceptions, but K39 was used mostly as in coastal positions (some were used by Turkey) while K18 is overpowered.
2. That's the first ever map i made and i was still learning how to balance them. As you probably noticed there is very little variation regarding tanks you'll see. In the upcoming missions I used some variety of equipment for both sides. Also if you find second mission too easy, let me know. So i can upload a version that is much tougher.
As a side note: in my honest opinion Second Jassy Kishniev offensive was bigger defeat for the Germans then operation Bagration (not in number of losses but in the tactical/operational point of view).
Regards,

I totally agree with you, and the mission is very good too (the problem is that my mind always plays as in Mission Kursk,and some of those mission were extremely hard). If tomorrow I have some free time, I will go on with next objective and will tell you about my progress. Regards.

Also if possible can you post a screen with casaulties after you complete the mission?

Just finished Mission 2. Good mission in my opinion. Only, as I said in Mission 1, German counterattack is very weak. By the way, in the beginning of the mission, there are 3 FLAK 36 that can't be moved by any truck.

femohi: Nice. Flak 36 that can't be moved - just a clarification Flak 36 which caliber? 37mm or 88mm? In case it's an 88 it's intentional. In case it's 37mm then it's a bug with GZM. Edit: Btw post some screens from the fighting if you can.

Now in Mission 3. Once I have taken the village, I begin to move my tanks to the intersection. Then I receive a message telling me that I've lost the mission.

Oh, oh. Now this isn't good. It just isn't good. There can be two problems. Either something got messed when the campaign was put together. Or it could be that i overlooked something in the script (not likely). During the testing it ran fine.
I'll check it right away.

Flak 36, so it's correct. Here's some images from Mission 2:

If you want one saved game, tell it to me. I can go on playing this mission (I have tested and I have taken the intersection). Tomorrow I will go on playing. This mission seems to be more much interesting. I have seen more Pz IV's IV and Stug's after taken the intersection than in the two previous missions.
