[GZM] Northern Front map series 1941-1944

[Stanenberg]

I won the first of the summer maps. Really hard map. The Russians overran my positions and I still won, is this planned? I like the SS-Infantry skins. Next map also looks promising

Did you have any units left by the time the enemy overrun you?

If you did then everything is fine. Historically Soviets did succeed to evacuate some groups from the pocket. Furthermore I thought that map was hard already so as long as the player had troops in any position he would still win.  

However if you think it should be changed, that won't be hard to do and i'll update it.

I was totally destroyed. Not a single unit left

Edit: not totally. only in 2 villages.

lol 

It doesn't make any sense. It's a regular loose script: 

function ToLose()

if GetNUnitsInParty(0) == 0 then

Loose(0);

Suicide();

end;

end;


Furthermore it's active from the start of the mission, it's not "killed" anywhere, so it should be fine. 

I'll update the map with another script, just to be sure. Thanks for pointing this out.

EDIT: Stanenberg I didn't see your edit. I'll increase the number just in case.

Just played the start of mission 6. Seems to be a cool map

After being frustrated with my rush tactic (played too much mp), I now try a very slow a careful approach; lets see how that turns out.

Enemy aircraft is totally op on this map. I lost all my fighters while defending against their bombers. Really annoying because the soviets keep their fighters and you cant use your Stukas properly.

After all this struggle you feel so awesome with the Tigers. No fear of any soviet armour no more  That's gonna be easy now !

greetings,

Stanenberg Just be sure to take good care of those Tigers you'll be needing them.
Also weird I didn't notice that the enemy airforce is OP. I'll take the look.

One small update regarding mine latest reworks, two news to be precise. Unfortunately i'm rather ill at the moment, so I won't be releasing the update today. Earliest estimate for release is sometime next week. Sorry for that, it wasn't my intention.



Good news is that most of the "hard" (hard for rework) maps have been completed and the rest won't take long.

Take care and rest Tedi!!

Yes it's very efficient more than the medicaments produced in laboratory, my personal suggestion is one spoon of honey in a glass of vodka or something equivalent then going to sleep, you do that the evening then normally (if it's the start of the clue) after two days you're a brand new man .

[Grot]

I agree to that treatment as well my friend

Lets Mr. Tedi recover with paracetamol  for now

I like more as a GP Scyooff our friend, your prescriptions are more attractive.

Greetings to all.

[tedi88]

Actually both Grot Scyooff are correct. Garlic and honey are by far some of the best "natural" cures available.

I must admit I never used vodka and honey combo, i'll give it a try.

I won mission 6 today. After having taken the Village, I expected a huge counterattack, but luckily the counterattack was rather small and only from one direction.

I would say it is a rather easy mission, compared to the ones before. Still a very nice and fun map

btw: I also like the huge amount of historical background in the campaign. Where did you get this information from?

Something general about the chapter: You often use the same units in very few variation (always T26/BT7/T34/KV1). GZM has a huge amount of different units. Especially in view for Narva, some variation for the chaotic late war germans wouldn't hurt

Can't wait for Narva. Summer/early autumn 2015 sounds like a damn long time to wait

greetings,
