Here's a little hint: In the 3rd mission "Counterattack on the Memel", after the liberation of the 170th Rifle Division, no friendly units are allowed to stand or fly on the west side of the Memel.gko.png
I lost for some reason maybe I managed to take out only two units out of 170 ) But it's not easy to get through to them as there are a lot of fascists ) Also if you are not near Memel how can you get your men out of the encirclement ? )

Here's a replay of my mission "Counterattack at the Memel." It's important not to move the encircled troops toward the Memel River too early, but to wait until the core troops have fought their way through a corridor to them.

Update!
Sorry, I forgot to add the bunkers to the campaign. Open the folder and add the bunkers to the campaign under
C:\Users\name\Documents\My Games\Panzer Corps\mods\Horizont in Flammen\Graphics\Units
I have these bunkers permanently installed in my original Pak-Mod folder, so I forgot to include them in the campaign. Thanks, Usbek, for the tip!

My tactics are a bit different from yours. In defensive missions, I usually let the enemy bleed to death on my lines.

Kampf um Grodno, Runde 20.zip
All the zotes are displayed ) This time I saved more units from 170 regiment but still lost ) And so many Germans are advancing on the defence of 170 regiment )))) I'll watch your replay now and maybe realise where my tactics are wrong )

Try to keep the encircled troops close together. Simply repel the attacks and use your core troops to create a gap across the river into the German lines, and only then allow the 170th's units to escape through the bottleneck. Then slowly withdraw. You'll need a few tanks. I like to use the BT-7 with an artillery switch in the early stages; a fighter plane for defense is sufficient for prestige, etc.
I specifically included a KV-1 tank as a heavy hammer, so to speak. Release it first and then use it as an anvil at the end.

I don't quite understand that it's better not to capture the city by the river as the enemies start to move in mass from all sides ? )

It's okay to conquer the city of Lunna first so you have a solid base during the German counter-offensive. But once the liberated units are safe, you should move all your units (including aircraft) back east across the Memel. If that answers your question, the message is meant to make it clear to the player that things might get a bit tight on the western side of the Memel from now on, nothing more.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's the victory condition again: 8 units of the encircled 170th Division must be brought to the star marker in the east, and at the end of the mission, not a single Soviet unit, including aircraft, may be on the western side of the Neman River. Should I post the victory conditions for the other missions here again, like I did for the Irun campaign? At least the ones that are a bit difficult to understand

When I see your unit list, I immediately think of Genghis Khan and his cavalry hordes. I'll check out your replay later.

No wonder, I love horse hordes, as I myself am an ancestor of Genghis Khan )) Well, and secondly, in the mod pack it is a great mobile infantry, especially not surprisingly, but in reality, mounted units during the Second World War that the Germans - that the Soviet only increased, although it is generally believed that it was a war of engines )))

What a battle

I enjoyed watching the replay. A tenacious and dogged defense from you; at some point I lost count of how many times that bridge changed hands. And not only that, but there was something like a partisan raid in the rear area in which you recaptured lost towns. I watched with enthusiasm; a battle to my liking.tun.png
I will always use ingenuity if the modmaker himself has left room for ingenuity and opportunity ))))

The strange thing is that I killed all of them but lost because the church was destroyed.) And so for the future the loss of any church is not important to the communists, but should have interrupted the mission with the inscription of defeat )))) And so we will have to replay ......

It's the town hall, not the church, I hope I'm not mistaken. I was looking for a city landmark and therefore chose it as the victory condition. While simply capturing the objective spaces is an important part of the mission, it's not enough. The town hall also symbolizes the moral victory in this mission. Therefore, it must be held and protected at all costs to fully complete the mission. A church and/or cathedral will come into play as an objective in later missions.

Okay, it's a mistake here to simply announce the mission failure instead of ending it immediately after losing the town hall. This way, the player continues playing a mission they actually lost. I'll keep this in mind for future campaigns.
Thanks for the tip.

I never had that much luck during testing; in fact, I had trouble fending them off. The trigger is triggered when a certain number of friendly units are in a particular zone. I suspect that number was never exceeded due to your cavalry's high movement points. So, there weren't enough of your units in the zone at the same time to trigger the trigger. You were lucky.
