Update to the Volokolamsk Highway Campaign New Mission - A Swirling Engagement (October 15, 1941) - Torzhok Road part 2 Reconnaissance reports from this morning indicate heavy enemy presence in Bryancevo, Malitsa, and the northern outskirts of Kalinin. This information confirms earlier reports that, indeed, the fascists are attempting to move up the Torzhok Road. The 8th Tank Brigade, with our T-34 platoons and Lieutenant Dotsenko’s company of heavy KV-1 tanks, is in the ideal position to move forward with today’s attack. We must strike first, and strike hard. Our assau

Update to the Volokolamsk Highway Campaign New Mission - Reconnaissance in Force (October 15, 1941) - Torzhok Road part 1 Spineless reports have arrived claiming the Vjazma pocket is devastated. Our comrades held out valiantly, but the tragic end was always inevitable, and we can only hope they escaped with their lives to rejoin the fight. What’s worse, the fascists seized Kalinin yesterday, driving Comrade Telkov’s 5th Rifle Division back across the Gorbatov Bridge to the north bank of the Volga. We have heard that even the courageous citizens of Kalinin took up the fi

Update to the Volokolamsk Highway Campaign Slight variations to increase difficulty for missions 4, 5, and 6. Also... @RazorbacksKierONeil Pretty cool video series by Wolfpack345, for sure! Watching them has helped me with playtesting and adjusting difficulty. @DD_Friar Thank you. I'm glad your squad had fun with it. Do you have an after-action report? I'd like to hear how multiplayer went. Maybe we can get the multiplayer version up for public use somehow. I would like to add a few custom skins for the Kalinin raid mission

Slight changes incoming this weekend to further increase difficulty. @BP_Lizard Thanks for playing. Let me know of any suggestions to make the missions better. I am trying to fine tune the difficulty balance. @Atlantia39 Thank you. I have not made other campaigns yet, though I have some good ideas for future tank campaigns. I originally planned to also include actions north-west of Kalinin along the Torzhok road in the Volokolamsk Highway campaign, but got side-tracked with my day job. (I'm teach computer science and English) If only I had more time to devote to makin

Update to the Volokolamsk Highway Campaign Optimized and balanced difficulty in all missions Timing and effects were off after latest Tank Crew update. Balanced difficulty, especially in mission 4. @easterling77 Researching the battles and attempting to recreate them is what it's all about. Thanks for the kind words. In fact, I have read Forczyk's book Tank Warfare on the Eastern Front 41-42 and look forward to reading the second one in his series. For this campaign I also used Radley and Sharp's Defense of Moscow 1941 as well as Drabkin and Sheremet's T-34 in Acti

Update to the Volokolamsk Highway Campaign New Mission - Mozhaisk Line (October 11, 1941) Two regiments of the 2nd SS-Panzer-Division Das Reich and a detachment of the 10th Panzer Division are bearing down on our position. We should not fear this over-ambitious enemy. Instead, we should be courageous and assured, as Comrade General Zhukov has been transferred from Leningrad to assume command of our forces here in front of Moscow. He has already laid our path to victory by ordering a defensive line across which the fascists cannot and will not advance. Mozhaisk will be held by

Update to the Volokolamsk Highway Campaign New Mission – Gzhatsk (October 9, 1941) The 18th Tank Brigade is ordered with all haste to impede the continued German advance eastward by establishing a blocking position at Budayevo, southeast of Gzhatsk. Reports indicate that Hausser's SS-Regiment Der Führer comprised of infantry and light armor is heading in our direction on the road to Mozhaisk. Updated mission Pandemonium (Kalinin tank raid pt.2) The player is now commander of Group 1, which avoids some ai issues. The order of the campaign has been

Thank you. I agree that there is definitely more tank content for the German side. The struggle that the Soviet tank crews endured, especially during the early war actions around Moscow, display courage that I believe we can all draw inspiration from during these trying times. It is certainly a difficult mental process to face death and keep marching on. I plan to add missions leading up to the German capture of Kalinin around Rzhev and Staritsa, as well as actions after the 21st TB’s raid on Kalinin near Torzhok. If all is going well and I can find additional detailed histor
