I found the same picture on Hungarian forum with better description: A small detachment of Hungarian cavalry troops with captured Soviet soldiers by the Ukrainian settlement in the summer of 1942.

Hi PHACAS and AKARebel, I asked you several times to use the proper map for Poland scenario (Westerplatte area) and correct-historical Polish Army positions. With 2.0 PAK I have an old one.
This scenario has also changed AI movement for Army Poznan and all units in the North-West area as it was.

Here it is, once again.

Hello everyone,

I would like to hear opinions from people who have played and completed Typhoon scenario. What is the best approach to win this scenario from your experience? The way I see it, there are basically two options.

First one is to go straight forward and slowly push through mine fields and obstacles. This will probably take high casualties as Luftwaffe can't silence the Soviet heavy artillery because of the bad weather. Best place to attack would be in my opinion between Mozhaysk in the north and Kaluga in the south, big problem is that this is a narrow front, your forces will be channeled and not able to fully develop as they ideally should.

Second one is to go around the obstacles and hit Soviets in the back. One pincer going north east and then swinging back at Ribinsk. Other pincer coming from the south east after taking Voronezh. I think that this approach reduces casualties but troops have to cover a long distance in a bad weather, so it would be time consuming.

Possible third option would be combination of the first two options mentioned.

What is your take on this, what worked for you?

This one was one of the most difficult Panzer Corps scenarios I played. I managed to get a Decisive Victory mainly due to the massive stocks of PP I saved from my earlier successes, they were all almost depleted.

Initially I thought I would surround and take Moscow from the rear, to help myself with that I used my sizeable core force of paratroopers and dropped them east of Moscow in an attempt at securing the ground for my land troops. I realized I committed a mistake when the Siberian units (we're talking of 25 units of ski infantry and 9 tank units) arrived and wiped out my entire force.

At that point I kept pressing from three different directions to divert the enemy around the front. I managed to reach the inner ring of defences with my western approach, supported by the one on the south/south-west; my north-western approach was stalled but I nonetheless kept moving and attacking to tie down enemy forces in that area.

On January 12 (turn 35/36), the grenadiers of the Gross Deutschland Division enter Moscow and plant the Reich's flag on the red bastions of the Kremlin.

I was expecting it to be the end of the war in the east but the game instead continued to the Spring of 1942 with Kharkov and Case Blue. I'd like to know from the dev whether this is intended to continue or if the game is supposed to be over but you didn't complete the branching yet. At the end of that scenario I got a debriefing with just the words [Final briefing text to be added later].

Also does v.2.00 require to start over a new game? I assume it does, right? What major changes took place?

Hello ajs81. Thank you for your work in the first place. Of course we are always open to (historical) improvements. There are just some problems. When I open your version, we immediately get an error because the "Kavallerie" movie is played immediately. This video should only play when the 3A/1 Kavallerie Brigade first starts moving.The start-up of movies and announcements is linked to unit locations and unit names. The "Kavallerie" error is because you replaced the unit from position 38.19 to 39.20

For everyone who changes something in a scenario, we want to know exactly what has changed to prevent us from ending up with all kinds of errors in the videos and messages.

Even better is if you tell us what your ideas are then we can adjust it ourselves.

For ajs81 just tell us what you changed exactly and we can use your scenario.

Greetings PHCAS

With the loss of Moscow and Leningrad , the war on the Eastern Front would not have ended ! There was also a reserve capital in Kuibyshev !

Well you must admit that's at the very least debatable considering that Leningrad would have been a tremendous blow to the Soviet morale and Moscow, aside from being an equal additional blow to their morale, would also mean the loss of the biggest rail hub in Russia, the Red Army's already faltering logistical network might as well collapse at that point.

That's an entirely different argument however, I just wanted to know if the prosecution of the war is intended by game standards or not because the Taifun scenario debriefing mentions the capture of Stalin and that any Soviet coordinated resistance is over, yet I'm brought to Karkhov 42. I'm a little confused.
