The Orel battle was a hard one. Managed a marginal....
If we don´t had this one HUGE howitzer this scen would
be very difficult!!

Frank:
There should be two 152mm howitzers and two 122m howitzers...
I played battle 5 several times and never did better than a marginal victory...
Major Destruction fine-tuned Battle 5 (Orel) quite nicely...
Unknown Enemy:
Playtesting on 1.3 has begun - battles 20 and 21 tested. Need some slight modifications.
Battle 22 in test. Looks very good - Germans coming from all sides - you're surrounded!!!
Battles 23, 24 ready for test.
Based on previous experience, 1.3 will be ready in about 4 weeks or less...
However, the project-that-won't-die looks like it is starting up again....
Grrr...
I will release as much as I can as soon as I can!
Cheers.

Cheers Brad!
I know there are more arty pieces,but the very heavy one
is the onlay one that can blow the bridges.
i managed only one blow of bridge with the demolition
teams. then they were slaughtered.
so far i enjoy the camp very much.
can anyone post a pic or savegame for battle no.2
russian steel 1.3 ?? i forgot what kind of battle it was..
stupid me!
i now have 2 decisive and the rest marginals after 5 battles.
must admit i cheated at one,where very much air strikes came
in. set the HE value down for the germans. I´m a real coward!;)

oops. i meant russian steel 1.2 in above posting....
must admit in the orel scen i awaited a bad surprise by
germans attacking from the flanks....so i left some units
as flank protection, but it was not neccessary......

Frank,
I think you are referring to the 152mm howitzers - my personal favorite!
I especially like mine mounted on the KV-2 and later the ISU-152...
They make excellent bridge busters....
Hmmm...
battle #2 (same for RS 1.1, 1.2 etc..) was a counterattack to reduce a bridgehead near Slutzk - all victory points were on the left bank of the river (east bank) and the main idea was to clear a farmhouse and the village...
I don't have a pic file....do you save the next-to-last turn of each of your games?
This allows you to go back and check stuff or restart or whatever...
Contact me if you need the battle file for some reason.
Brad
