Yikes! That’s done poor QC from me. I blame it on being in a hurry. Sadly, you’ll have to wait until Sunday for me to get back to my computer.
@bleskaceq @stoneage I fixed the file. A new file 001 is in the Dropbox, and should be for Bleskaceq (Germans) to enter the password. LEt me know if I've messed up again 🤨
@aurelius @guardsman I gave you access to side-specific Dropboxes for the draft Komarno/Komarom op.
I haven't really tested this - this will be one where I am giving both sides a historical force and letting them go at it. The terrain is HIGHLY representative of the real thing (including modifications I made to represent some key terrain features). The forces are based on detailed accounts in a couple of books and resources. The real-world battle was a long shot for the Soviets, but yet also desperation on the part of the Germans. Play balance is not guaranteed given the real-world tactical problems, although on paper both sides have some advantages.
The 3-op campaign contains 1 battle on 1 map (Gyula Farm), and 2 battles on a 2nd map (Teglagyar to Komarom Brick Factory).
Let me know if you still want to have a go after reading the materials and agreeing to be test subjects 🙂 . Based on your experience, I will certainly revise the campaign for future players.
Hi,
i like playing this one as Germans :
CMBN Vierville June 44 - 101st Airborne vs. Fallschirmjaeger for control of Vierville (KAndu map)
hope anyone is up to play it as the yanks
@onepingonly great stuff, yes i am certainly up for the challenge. lets see if @aurelius is keen
I'll play.
I would only propose a change to the rule of the subsystem damage - if a weapon is damaged, the unit should skip the following battle only (meaning, if a weapon gets taken out in the first battle, the unit should return in third battle). Swapping the barrel in field conditions is a procedure that all the warring parties by this point have mastered, and there is no need for depot/factory level repairs. Damage to the weapon control should, on the other hand, mean that the vehicle is out of action for the campaign.

Since this was a major offensive operation, it would be reasonable to assume that the repair units were near the front, and the change would require a new barrel and aligning it, which would be done by the commander and the gunsmith.
At @jackal338 's request, I whipped up a "Hell in the Hedgerows" 3-game mini-campaign of the same style as Radzymin & Leopold Canal, where both players purchase their units for the entire campaign up front, then they get fed in 1/3 at a time over 3 battles of increasing size ont he same map. The map is smaller (1340mx1264m) since it is tough going in the hedgerows. I tested a larger version and there just weren't enough forces to make anything happen in the restricted terrain. I used a small portion of Kandu's Hauts Vents map.
Playtesters welcome!
At @jackal338 's request, I made a second version of this mini-campaign where the OOB is fixed and based on a historical engagement (US 30th ID & 3rd Armored vs Pz Lehr). He's looking for a willing opponent to give this a try.
i hope to work my way through all these great mini campaigns but will limit myself to two at a time for now.

Ohh, put the mapin our DB folder and lets see if it works, thank you.
@nathangun Done - see "Pont Hebert MASTER"
It loaded, after awhile but it's a bit laggy. 😩
I'll fight a test battle and see how it goes.
hey @deadpanic have you gone awol? not heard back for 5 days now in our Leopold battle ?
Same for Noville, 6 days now.
I'm so sorry guys, life has recently gotten in the way and my PC wasn't booting for the last few days. (my mouse cable was causing th PC not to boot? Super random) But I've got a new mouse today and will be back gaming tomorrow! @guardsman @aurelius
@opo what happened to the Ost front mini-campaign that Aurelius and i were supposed to start? Dont think we got a battle start file? My crewmen are getting lazy hanging around the panzer depot at Sennelager 🙂
