Future Directions - Data Content

[T-28A]

Would really love to see the Fall Gelb next time. I like the "one game - one operation" style of CmdOps and the level of details they put into it, and I think the carefully simulated Fall Gelb with all the new features possibly available by then (minefields? improved river assault? transport units?) would be really amazing game.

A future direction regarding HTTR? For that I suggest a move to the east. No I dont mean an East Front game expansion, I mean the revenge for Market Garden, or MITR; meaning Move Into The Reich. Move into the Reich is not a what if scenario, it is real Word War 2 history, being the Battle of the Rhineland. See the operational map at; http://ibiblio.org/hyperwar/UN/Canada/C ... ory-40.jpg  

February 8, 1945 was the startdate of Operation Veritable, followed on February 22, 1945 by Operation Blockbuster. The frontline at the start of Veritable was the Groesbeek-Mook area, by HTTR players already known as the Nijmegen part of the HTTR map where the bulk of the US 82nd Airborne Division was dropped during Operation Market Garden! See; http://ibiblio.org/hyperwar/UN/Canada/C ... ory-10.jpg


Operation Veritable was not, as Market Garden, directed to the Rhine-river in the Arnhem sector, but to the Rhine in the Wesel sector. The start of Veritable was on the Anglo-Canadian front the overture of the final stage in the 1944-1945 West European campaign. Veritable was the northern part of a Canadian-British and American pincer movement to clear the west bank of the Rhine-river between the German-Dutch border near Cleves and Neuss in the south. The American part of the pincer movement was named Operation Grenade.

The game expansion Move into the Reich could by completed with Operation Plunder and Varsity, the ultimate northern assault across the Rhine-river in the Rees-Wesel sector.

1.
I would like to see an "Across the Rhine" scenario.
General, scenarios in which it is to defend/conquer German soil.

2.
Bio's of the commanders data should finally updated, completed and expanded content!

3.
And the photos of the equipment and supply data should now finally be updated and completed!

I would like to see Winter War and Continuation War. I'd definitely buy it right away..!

[Arjuna]

Excuse my ignorance but what is "Continuation War"?

[T-28A]

Hi Dave,

Jatkosota (contrary to Talvisota, Winter War, 1939-1940) - that's the Finnish term for the war between Finland and Soviet Union in 1941-1944.

[sweeteye]

Italian Campaign or North Africa.

[wodin]

As mentioned. It's the continuation of the Russian\Finnish War. Would suit this game very well indeed.

As for Africa, I tried the CotA scenarios and really didn't like them to be honest (However Africa is always asked for and has alot of support, I'm in the minority). Massive feature less open spaces. Italy would be cool though.

[sweeteye]

Yes...I kind of favor Italy over North Africa...I thought Prince Of EckMuhl was working on an Anzio scenario.Have not heard from him for a while..Wonder how the scenario is coming along.

[mkjhartmann]

The war was won and lost in the east. The operations of Army Group South would be great.

[nate25]

I would like to see some EF battles.

But battles that weren't too lopsided for one side or the other. Tall order, I know, as battles are usually fought at times when one side or the other had a distinct advantage, but there's gotta be a few out there.

[Remmes]

There is a nice book on small German unit tactics on the Eastern front which deals with exactly what the title suggests. It is freely avalaible online here SMALL UNIT ACTIONS DURING THE GERMAN CAMPAIGN IN RUSSIA. Surely some nice scenario-material in there.

[nate25]

Nice, Ramses.

That's what I'm talking about.

[Marshal Villars]

In terms of the number of players it would draw to the engine, my vote is for Eastern Front as a stand-alone release.

I would say you should include Stalingrad as a mother scenario (one large map with maybe 3-5 different scenarios) for maximum effect. Then add 2-3 other "less significant" engagements from the area/period.

[BigDuke66]

Well something for the Eastfront:
