Operation Typhoon Map rough draft

How in 1945 Britain and the United States bombed Holland with potatoes)) The humanitarian bombing was called Manna-Chowhound and was supposed to save the starving inhabitants of the Netherlands. The fact is that in 1944, Germany was already short of food and the Germans stopped supplying food to the Netherlands. As a result, from April 27, the distribution of bread was reduced to 200 grams per week, and then the allies agreed with the German command: they would "bomb" Dutch cities with products, and the Wehrmacht promised not to fire bombers.

Do you plan such a "bomb" and the main thing is not to confuse the potatoes with real bombs ?


Otherwise it will be like this ....

Hello, the card is not there !? I can not find them.

Recon aircraft can only be refueled in the middle of a airfield hex. All other aircraft can also use the hexes next to the airfield. So if you do not place a reconplane in the middle hex. It never will be refueled. The recon aircraft are marked with a binoculars icon under it.

About HQ units. They have a few functions. First they represent historical HQ units with historical leaders in it. In big maps it's useful to move armies by their formations to keep things clear. For example send 18th army to Leninggrad, 2nd Panzer Gruppe to Minsk, etc. If you use the switch button on HQ units they become static but have a spotting range larger than normal recon units. The airunits fighting in the HQ's vision have a +1 bonus (radar trait). If you keep the HQ units in the rear you can place them in a city to prevent that partisan units just walk into this cities. So their are some useful things to do with HQ units. I use them to go directly behind the frontline to make a "recon" area behind the front of HQ's next to each other so their are no blind spots behind the frontline to be sure no enemy units sneak behind my frontline. But above all I like how the HQ's look

If we think HQ units will be more usefull with a +1 vision we can do that. Read also my answer to Yves about the HQ's

I find them very useful for recon with their look/switch/move ability. 4 hex visibility ok 5 hex visibility range bordering on too much. Any more than 4/5 hexes too much in my opinion

I just made an account to say thank you for the amazing mod you made!

I think you are talking about the Moscow Taifun map. It's a preview from Tony, it's not in the mod yet. It's only to show what is coming. This will be the next scenario in our campaign. If Tony is ready with the map I can start making the scenario. It will take some time.

Started with the "Battle of the Atlantic" scenario. This will be a Naval/air scenario with no ground units, like the battle of Britain but a little bit bigger then The map is 140x120 hexes

Thanks Guille

Thanks Wurschtmaxe

Nice looking V-weapons! Thanks for including them in the mod! Great work, guys!

Functional Depots
In the next update all depots will be functional in all scenarios as followed:

If a ground unit enters a Fuel depot hex = +40 fuel
If a ground unit enters a Ammo depot hex = +20 Ammo
If a ground unit enters a Supply depot hex = +10 fuel & +10 Ammo

Hi, will we get some prestige too?

Hello PHCAS.
If a ground unit enters a Vodka Distillery hex = +10 mens are drunk
Vodka Mamont Distillery

for HQ units : " I find them very useful for recon with their look/switch/move ability"

--> they are useless because they need to swich before scouting! and they are attacked before it ! Either, they get +5 recon , either they can move AND swich to recon unit in the same turn .

For me , the best solution is to make them +5 recon else they are useless for most of the players...

Entering the vodka distillery hex should result in half the unit suppressed, and loss of prestige. And atrangely, nobody is quite sure exactly what happened....
