I like your work guys!
I understand that AI is not legal competence in scenario Battle for Crimea
But how do I find an opponent to play multiplayer?
How do you find each other for a game of this scenario?

@Brazenman are you playing this as a MP game or against the AI?

Now I play on the hot seat against fellow workers when we have free time. With me is working a former officer of missile forces. And I'm I play against him now. Sometimes I play multiplayer, but I had too weak opponents. It was a very difficult scenario for them.

ORIGINAL: R35

Btw, looking at the pics I wonder if certain unit types shouldn`t be present in less numbers or at all. For example:

You're right, it's probably not very historical, but Karaganov has a very poor choice of units for such a large-scale scenario.

ORIGINAL: R35

105 mm (4.13 in) leFH 18/3 auf Gw B-1/B-2 740(f) - only 13 were produced so I wonder if it justifies having two full strength units on the same map.

I think that the guys wanted to use them as mountain guns
Germany has no mountain guns

ORIGINAL: R35

ADGZ - the Austrians only made 27 of them and the Germans another 25 starting with 1942, but they seem to have been mostly used in the Balkans for security operations:

It was necessary to strengthen the combat capability of the Sicherungs Divisions

ORIGINAL: R35

The Romanian OA vz.30 - in March 1939 9 Czechoslovak OA vz.30 crossed the border into Romania, but there is no evidence that they were ever used in combat (as opposed to security of industrial sites in the country), let alone of any use on the eastern front.

We needed a reconnaissance unit for the Romanian divisions.
There was simply no choice

ORIGINAL: R35

I guess it all depends on how much variety and liberty of action you want to enable on this scenario.

In my opinion, lacks many units
machine-gun battalions (Soviet and German)
mortar battalions (Soviet and German)
signals battalion (Soviet and German)
German security battalions
German police battalions
Soviet battalions of airfield support
Soviet NKVD battalions
mountain artillery battalions (Soviet and German)

And I'm not talking about the the soviet artillery.

not legal competence???
To my great regret AI is very dumb, even on a small map.

You can post your e-mail here, and I think that anyone else will contact you

I himself would played against you, but I'm a very experienced player, and it's very complex scenario

I see. I was curious how would the AI handle all those fortifications and multiple defense lines.

I think that the guys wanted to use them as mountain guns
Germany has no mountain guns

Mountain guns ought to be added to both germans and soviets, along with mountain transports. I think they`re among the few factions that don`t have any currently. Which is odd.

We needed a reconnaissance unit for the Romanian divisions.
There was simply no choice

The only vehicle used for that purpose in the Romanian army (before the Germans delivered some armoured cars at Stalingrad) was the R-1 tankette which was part of the cavalry divisions. In my files I`ve set it as a recon even though it`s not great at that because of its low speed/movement value. The other option would be to put the motorcyclists in the recon class.

Usually you make a pair of moves per day, is not it?
1.09 is the latest version, is not it?

In different ways
All depends on the free time

1.09 is the latest version, is not it?

Yes, It is the latest version, at the moment. Do not forget to install it. It includes a lot of corrections.

Karaganov

About the new map
I think that you must place an airfield near the settlement ЛЫКК (Lyck)

[Brazenman]

ORIGINAL: Karaganov

Further
The fourth part of map - Western piece (Ortelsburg, Pultusk, Warszawa, Radom)
The fifth part of map - Eastern piece (Minsk, Slutsk, Zhitkovichi ... ???
The sixth part of map - Northen piece (Rustenburg, Suwalki, Radoshkovichi... ???)

By the way Hitler's headquarters was in Wolfsschanze. It was near Rustenburg (Rastenburg).
Will you implement this???

[AlbertN]

I believe the good part of the map is that actually mirrors the WW2 armies better with the bunch of troops being infantry and not tanks!

Some screens for the Western Front Scenario from the archives of H.Balck!

I think - we need the map regions to 10 km north of Vilnius.
The soviet 2nd and 5th tank divsion had order to deive north on 23nd June - they fight againts the 1th and 6th german tank divisions in the battle tank at Rossinoi.
They stand than no more in coman of the 11th soviet army and can not attack Hoths tank group from the north. I think we have to deploy them not on map than - I think !

Karaganov
about new map
It would be good to portray the system of Soviet fortifications along the line of the -Neman-Shara-Yaselda. I think it would be logical.
