Campaigns for Modern Conflicts

[Tobi72]

Welcome back on the forum!

Nice, that looks really cool! And with 15 missions, that will be a pretty long journey.
Poor Uzbek, we don't let him have enough time to live outside panzer corps

I'm traveling a lot at the moment. I don't have enough time to play.

Campaign (fictional)“Adventures in Afghanistan” is ready for download:
https://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=117223

After extracting, open the first folder Adventures in Afghanistan and copy the second folder Adventures in Afghanistan with the campaign files it contains, paste this folder as usual under C:\Users\Name\Documents\My Games\Panzer Corps\mods.

I hope I haven't forgotten anything.
Have fun!

[Tobi72]

Note: The GRU and KGB bonus units can be moved by helicopter using the battle mode button.
This is an immense advantage, as the terrain in some missions is very difficult to access for normal units. These units therefore do not require an airfield.

This time, I was faster than my Eastern collegue
1st mission accomplished, polkovnik Tobi. Border secured, troops advancing, no causalties.



Solid scenario, good start.

Oh good, you're quick. The first one shouldn't be too hard either. I designed the whole campaign at medium difficulty. I had perhaps exaggerated the topic a bit in the past, especially with regard to YAMATO.

And I didn't know that we started the Olympics and the Afghanistan Marathon )))) Without a replay it's not real - in case you are a cheater colleague )))) But don't worry about me Russians take a long time to get started but then they jump quickly )))))

Today is just the 8th of March so gifts for women and warm words distract me from my favourite man's game ))))

[Tobi72]

Oh yes, that reminds me, I still have to buy a bouquet of flowers. And chocolate

I often made this mistake, I can't blame you
A good balance is often hard to find.

PS: the difficulty was fine, don't get it wrong. Kunduz was nicely defended at the end, and I almost lost a unit assaulting it.

Nah

But I can already concede victory: I don't have enough time to do more than 1/2 scenarios per day. I can't keep the pace
I'll let you go ahead to reco the terrain, my troops will follow soon.

At us now a bouquet of flowers costs good money times 10-20 times more expensive than on a normal weekday, you probably not so ? )))

For the first time I wanted to be not a tester but a regular player when all bugs are found and fixes are installed )) Apparently it's not fate playing your maps several times I become a professional ))))

So I finished one move earlier than you, so sons learn to play while dad is alive ))))))

P.s.
The Russian flag instead of the Soviet flag confuses me in general ))) It's like Chechnya instead of Afghanistan ))

[Imeror]

The second scenario is even better.
It need a clever use of infantry and transport helicopters; the last one being a very good mechanic but too rarely used in MC. And I was lucky, a KGB special unit already joined the show. Having the ability to always have an air transports ready to redeploy them is perfect in a custom campaign designed around helicopters and a counter-insurgency.

A replay, for those who may be stuck or want to see other strategy that what they have done :
https://www.mediafire.com/file/kz8fdwan ... 5.rar/file

I was a little bit hesitant in some of my moves... I know it's just the beginning of the war, but I already expected deadly ambushes... and I stupidly took 2 tanks in this montainous terrain My bad, I was not focus at all at the start of the scenario


This campaign has a really good start, but Kabul will await tomorrow



Even if...



I needed to capture the Palace, at least. Now, my day can end.

Well you must have decided that since the company is fictional, you will be waiting for "Prokhorovka" under Kabul ))))

Tanks in the mountains is certainly beautiful but not very effective ) I will take up this mission tomorrow today I have personal business ))))

P.s.
At that time, the secret Black Shark and Pinocchio also had their baptism of fire in Afghanistan closer to the Soviet withdrawal )

I mentioned at the beginning when I started working on the campaign that it is technically not possible to add a new nation. There are coded borders for this. So we have to be satisfied with this solution of the flags and turn a blind eye.

[Tobi72]

That was a good idea with the reruns, they should release it as a series on Netflix.
It's interesting that Imeror and I chose and deployed almost identical troops at the beginning of the campaign, while Usbek chose a different but equally successful path with lots of infantry. I'm curious to see how it continues.

Not here, although the day is well known, the florists in this country do their business on February 14th.

Well, I don't want to give too much away, but you'll be glad if you can fall back on tanks with some experience in combat later on.

It's probably like that everywhere, nothing personal - just business )

It's sad and I love the setting and entourage for total immersion so to speak in the era )

But his army now has tanks and during the day he can dash on them past Afghan peasants who only guerrilla at night )))))

Uzbek is just an old warrior - so he is a wise and experienced commander ) ) Also I read memoirs of the commander of the 40th army Gromov in the beginning the Soviets also led T-72 and T-64 tanks )))) But T-64 was warmed up by the engine, and T-72 simply did not find an equal opponent and they were taken back to the USSR, grenade launchers and recoilless guns hollow everything from Abrams to Leopards + mines and ambushes ) Nato also did the same, I showed you pictures of 60 ton monsters in Afghanistan ))))The last mass war of tank wedges was fought in the neighbourhood of Afghanistan where Iraq and Iran fought with each other according to all classical canons of World War II )))) Really I don't know if there is such an event in your dimension the company is fictitious )))) Yes and against guerrillas always good special forces as sometimes Toyota can beat a tank if it is correctly and in the right place ))))

p.s.

In Afghanistan, the Soviets used ZSU-23-4s to engage
against ground targets. The Shilka was stripped of its unnecessary radar and increased
and increased its ammunition to 4,000 rounds. After the Shilka appeared on the battlefield.
the Dushman usually began to retreat.

Even Shilka's radar was removed and ammunition was added, for which the spirits called this weapon Shaitan arba)))

ZSU-23-4 is allowed to play in the campaign. However, unchanged.
Only the color scheme has been changed.

In this ZU-23-2 mod, you need to teach how to shoot with direct fire, make a button to switch fire modes from the air to the ground) And so I see that visually everything has not changed much and the mighty Soviet army looks like a Russian collective farm that participated in the war in Chechnya 1994-2000)))
