Eastern Front: Soviet Storm v1.96b (Link Fixed)

[guille1434]

OK, pal! Indeed, the frozen lake now looks frozen, and the trucks are rolling over solid ice, not water! I would say this mini-mod adds to the visual appeal of winter maps! Thanks for testing and reporting!

I will upload the mod files in "my" thread, adding some experimental hexes that I also made (with different shades of ice, and another one with water and icebergs (or may be pack ice?) Those last ones could be useful to be added in the terrain hex file.

I am very glad I could give you that humble collaboration to your great project!

[Akkula]

Very interesting tiles Guille, in particular the one with water and icebergs, I hope someone can implement it in the graphics file. Great addition indeed.

And I thank you again with your great collaboration to my project

[guille1434]

Indeed, I am already thinking about expanding the scope of this map tiles mod. If you are interested in knowing more, pay a short visit to the "Multipurpose Units Thread" where I will explain further.
Thanks again for your nice words about this collaboration!
Your project rocks!

[Akkula]

Thanks guille. It seems you took very seriously the terrain tweak , I am glad that happened!.

Now, with the winter gone, the werhmacht prepares another attack over the soviet positions at Kerch.

[Akkula]

Time to add some power to the axis fleet: Destroyer Type 1936A and U-Boat Type IIB

[Akkula]

An more naval units for the axis, this time for the italian navy: the CB class midget submarine and the MAS anti-submarine boat

[Akkula]

Another little update, the axis forces are trying to break through the first line of defence:


And the soviet prepare some forces to repeal the attack:

Looks very nice Akkula!

Thanks Magic1111!

Here we got a Maxim Gorky Battery near Sevastopol:

[huertgenwald]

WOW, what a HUGE battery !

[Akkula]

That´s the idea . The original icon for the Gorky doesn´t make justice to it´s mightiness:

[Halibutt]

I love it! Absolutely splendid. BTW, there's some 3D models of forts, pillboxes and such in Forgotten Hope. Do you need any of them? I could export them for you.
Cheers

[rezaf]

Out of curiosity, were there actually any real historical examples of forts that looked like the vanilla icon - i.e. an observatory with a gun instead of a lense?

Nice
I hope to see some heavy artillery duel with those German Karl-Gerats

That Maxim Gorky battery may be mighty, but the original is always the best! AND I DON'T MEAN THE VANILLA ICON EITHER!

Can it stand up to all of those? (And the many more off-screen?)

Good work on the mod so far! (Looks like I'll have fierce competition when it gets to release day!)

[Halibutt exported that trebuchet icon from civ 3 for me btw]

a) YOU FORGOT THE CHOMP PART! GNNNNAAARRRRGGGGHHH!

b) correct on the quality

c) I hope those Gorky gunners realise there are 5 trebuchets visible, but there shall soon be 100k Mongol Archers coming as well (and you can only fire at 1 target at a time )

Akkula: Very nice icon for tha Maksim Gorky Fort! I would like to add a concrete base to it, I think its looks could be improved that way... Would you be so kind to share that icon for me to work on it? (that is, only if you want to)... Thanks!!

[Akkula]

That would be great!. I wait for them with my open arms, thanks!!
