historic dates of the campaign chapters?

[NETSCAPE]

This information would be useful so I can cross reference front line data of other maps/dates I have found online. 

 

Specifically I'm wanting the BoS dates.

Thanks BlackSix. This should help a lot. Most of the maps online are so "broad" and vague they actually contradict one another sometimes too. The mission making is going quite well with almost 7 complete... but a tester wants front line data (and i agree so the player doesn't get confused some missions) so I started on that today...what a nightmare.

BlackSix, with chapter 2 of BoM I am assuming the light blue line farthest west on the map (which the large blue arrows come out of) reflects the frontline 14.10.41, while the normal large frontline data reflects the frontline as of 14.11.41 ?

 

I have acquired Moscow temperature records from october '41 through march '42 but do you by chance have information on weather data such as cloud level, rain, snow, fog ect?

 

Thank you for any help. Doing some research and planning out a campaign for II./ZG 26

How's your Stuka campaign coming along btw?

"Sirens of Death" is done other than some small adjustments based on tester feedback perhaps. 18 missions in total. It's a bit on the ultra historical / hardcore side, so I doubt it will be sellable. But I contacted Jason none the less. As soon as he gets back to me it will be available to the community, one way or another!

Sounds good!

The weather conditions on the Eastern Front:

Don't use any front lines from the official career, they are made for a specific date and they are intended for the scripted missions. They don't show the start or end date of the operation. You need to find normal maps with the front lines.

For example in episode 2:

light blue line - Oct 10, 1941

normal large front line - Oct 22, 1941. And this is wrong frontline in some places, we'll change it in the new career.

Ok thanks. I will try to dig up more maps.

What about chapter 8? What dates do those lines correlate with?

 

After spending some time checking maps and reading some divisional history I can reference; it seems the period of the Soviet counter attacks would better fit the campaign so there is a nice short flight to reach the lines anywhere on the map. The flights from Dugino would be too long for the average, action craving player during October and November for example.
