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

[demyansk]

Hi Akkula,

I just finished the Hanko scenario and it's a good one. I like the way the reinforcements arrive and the AI even tried to land on a few of the islands. You guys did a nice job on the way it plays out. By the way, is there any way to get rid of mines?

Nice work and I'll report on the next one.

Question Guys,

I just finished the scenario where I had to transport the 6 ships to the evacuation zone (A). It was on turn 14 of 20 and the game ended with a marginal victory. I only had one main flag captured by the Germans and I was going to recapture before the game ended. Is this normal?

[Akkula]

Glad you like it!
Regarding the Tallinn scenario, yes, is normal. In order to achieve Decisive Victory you need to hold all the objectives.

Regards,
Akkula.

[demyansk]

Still playing and I don't see any problems. I do see some tiles with small villages labeled as Clear. I have a huge inventory of tanks and just crushing the Germans as they attack.

[demyansk]

Hi again,

I started the Moscow 1 map of which you need to escort the Siberian units to letter "A" and 5 forts survive. I thought I did that but I lost. I was wondering if I lost a fort but it doesn't look like it or any of the fortifications? Am I missing something on the game?

[Akkula]

In order to win you just need to bring the Siberian Regiments into the "A" hexes. The forts are needed to achieve Decisive Victory.
So, check if some of the Siberian units was not in place or maybe you lost some critical city.

Update 1.9
German Mini-Campaign finished, now I continue testing the improvements and corrections made to the big scenario.
Also, I plan to add some more stand alone scenarios just for fun (historical of course).
So I expect to release the new update soon

Version 1.8 got more than 800 downloads and counting, so I am optimistic about the longevity of this mod

Best regards,
Akkula.

[demyansk]

This is a great mod Akkula. I did replay the scenario and I won a heroic defense. Now, I am playing the Dec 6, 1941 counter attack scenario.
I bought a lot of tanks and destroying the Germans. I think the prestige could be lowered, maybe if I played and started the mod with the most difficult settings.

I like it though

It's time to make the units campaign )

Historical scenarios just for fun

О японцы ) Надеюсь они тоже будут и раз так не терпится поиграть против японцев )То можно даже вставить карты про Battle of Lake Khasan и Battles of Khalkhin Gol

About the Japanese ) I Hope they will and if so can't wait to play against the Japanese )That you can even embed the map about the Battle of Lake Khasan and Battles of Khalkhin Gol

Sakhalin or the Kuril Islands?

Both my friend . Not so big scenarios, but a nice challenge for the Soviet side as you have race against time. I think they are fun

About the Japanese ) I Hope they will and if so can't wait to play against the Japanese )That you can even embed the map about the Battle of Lake Khasan and Battles of Khalkhin Gol

I thought about that, but Bebro made those battles in this Inferno mod, I think it would be redundant to do the same in my own mod. I have to think about that.

And are you talking about the mod where at Khalkhin Gol the red army goes in full on tanks T-34 and KV ))) No it can not be considered your competitor so no need to think , and to do )

[Akkula]

I will think about it

One more screenshot of the battle for the Kuril Islands.


If everything goes well I will release the new update this weekend.

Ну так будет и логически верно раз вы нам показываете советский десант на Курилах )
Well, so it will be logically true once you see Soviet troops in the Kuril Islands )

Great news ) So waiting for your mod )
