The new Multiplayer-scn Barbarossa 41 (Armygroup Center) comes in the beginning of september 2007.
Here are first impressions:

The large map in the beginning of my work. (after 2 days in work !)



View 2 (Brest Litovsk with fortress - The fortress receives still another original appearance!)




Basis: the topographic maps from the 20's.



Example Matrix-map






Overview of the processes



Or one of the detailed maps (over 40).



Original pictures of all officers - here by the example 14th Mechanized corps.
and original tankstrenght and types.




and here by the example of german units.

Hi Dumnorix,
 
will the barbarossa map be complete textured at the end or is this the final map?
 
is this now a second project after CS meets PG3D or is your mod for DG now?

Hallo Wittmann

will the barbarossa map be complete textured at the end or is this the final map?

No - this map my Minsk map is to then follow, which is enough to 40 km east the Dnepr. In addition this is already finished (thanks of the HPS series "Minsk 44"!) In addition I can extend then still to the east (thanks of the HPS series "Smolensk 41 + Moscow 41") the so-called Brest map go however only to 50 km east to the line Baranowitschi/Pinsk.
German:
Nein - an diese Karte soll sich dann meine Minsk-Karte anschließen, welche bis 40 km östlich des Dnepr reicht. Außerdem ist diese schon fertig (Dank der HPS-Serie "Minsk 44" !)
Außerdem kann ich dann immer noch nach Osten erweitern (Dank der HPS-Serie "Smolensk 41 + Moskau 41" ) Die sogenannte Brest Karte geht aber nur bis 50 km östlich der Linie Baranowitschi / Pinsk.

is this now a second project after CS meets PG3D or is your mod for DG now?

My whole Mod runs now with the Divided Ground engine.

OK very nice!
 
do we need DG V.1.04 or which version?
 
but on this map it isn´t possible to make an attack from Best L. to the west and then to the north to Janow, right?
 
Do you have a release date for your mod? I think it is much work to make the WF mod to the DG mod
 
Can you give some more information about your work?
 
How many percent is it finished (if you can say this in percent? )
 
How many maps will it have in the final version? Do you have a Berlin map?
 
can you play szenarios from 1939 to 1945/46 or only to 44?
 
How much will your mod cost?

Hallo Wittmann

do we need DG V.1.04 or which version?

DG version 1.01

but on this map it isn´t possible to make an attack from Best L. to the west and then to the north to Janow, right?

I do not understand this question correctly. Why an attack to the west? An attack of the Soviets was at the most planned at the Suwalki Zipfel, in addition we have the case of defense against the Germans!
Diese Frage verstehe ich nicht richtig. Warum einen Angriff nach Westen ? Ein Angriff der Sowjets war höchstens am Suwalki-Zipfel geplant, außerdem haben wir den Verteidigungsfall gegen die Deutschen !

Do you have a release date for your mod?

That must ask you the Mr. von Matrix, those agitate themselves for the moment however not - have only the sales of its "mad" "new" total version in the head.
Das mußt Du die Herren von Matrix fragen, die rühren sich im Moment aber nicht - haben nur den Verkauf ihrer "tollen" "neuen" Gesamtversion im Kopf.

I think it is much work to make the WF mod to the DG mod

It is not difficult at all - I used about 1 hour for changing over - one must only the code system know.
Es ist überhaupt nicht schwierig - ich habe etwa 1 Stunde zum Umstellen gebraucht - man muß nur das Code-System kennen.

Can you give some more information about your work?

That would be also a decision of matrix. I think 20,-€ would be OK ONE.
Das wäre auch eine Entscheidung von Matrix.
Ich denke 20,-€ wären OK.

I mean you can´t do what you want because the map isn´t complete textured.
Ich meine du hast nicht die komplette freiheit alles zu machen was du willst, da im SW die karte nicht komplett texturiert ist.
Ich weiß es ist viel arbeit aber könntest du die karte vielleicht komplett zuende texturieren?

>The scenarios were presented, are finished all.
>Die Szenarien die vorgestellt wurden, sind alle fertig.
But how many percent is your mod finished?
Aber wie viel prozent sind das vom fertigen Spiel?

Will your mod have prototypes like kugelblitz or E-series for own szenarios?
Beinhaltet dein mod auch prototypen wie den kugelblitz oder die e-serie für eigene szenarien?

Is it fixed that matrix will be the publisher? And if not how can we get the mod in september?
Ist es jetzt fest das matrix deinen mod vertreibt? Und wenn nicht wie können wir dein projekt dann im september bekommen?

is it possible to add some pictures of the stalingrad szenario? Specially about the 371. ID
Ist es möglich vielleicht ein paar bilder von dem stalingradszenario zu adden? Speziell über die 371. ID?

I know vista has problems with the old CS. Is it possible to build a fix for vista?
Ich weiß das vista mit der alten serie viele probleme macht meinste du kannst da einen fix erstellen mit dem man auch unter vista dein projekt spielen kann?

do you plan a introvideo?

Naturally the map will be finished (600 x 400 km), that is now only the cutout after the first days work.
Natürlich wird die Karte fertig sein (600 x 400 km), das ist ja jetzt nur der Ausschnitt nach den ersten Tagen Arbeit.
Bin jetzt schon viel weiter mit der Karte.

That would be then 100 %.

That is everything because of matrix, if would agitate themselves, could everything already starting from September to the purchase by on-line ones be available.
Das liegt alles an Matrix, wenn die sich rühren würden, könnte alles schon ab September zum Kauf per Online verfügbar sein.

is it possible to add some pictures of the stalingrad szenario? Specially about the 371. ID

That can make I not, would have matrix team there.
Das kann ich nicht, müsste da Matrix-Team machen.

do you plan a introvideo?
Planst du ein intro zu erstellen?

For the moment I use the PG3D-Video. I have however a friend with the Bavarian broadcast, which me to at the end of September a sensational Intro will provide, with original film material and animations.
Im Moment benutze ich das PG3D-Video. Ich habe aber einen Freund beim bayrichen Rundfunk, welcher mir bis Ende September ein sensationelles Intro erstellen wird, mit Originalfilm-material und Animationen.

September sound very good! But has your mod the torch and the berlin map included? Or is it possible to wait for patches/addons to play this battles?
September klingt gut aber beinhaltet dein projekt dann auch schon die Torch und die berlin szenarios?

Echt klasse Stalingradkarte!!! Ist dort die 371. ID mit Kommandeur vertreten?

Yes.

Is this mod planned for the new Matrix version of the CS? If not, why?

If Matrix doesn't take this mod on for sale, what then? There must be quite a few permissions involved with the Osprey pictures and the PzGeneral artwork. Is this going to be possible to sort out?

Osprey pictures

What do you mean with this ???

PzGeneral artwork

Only individual trees and houses, and/or smaller details were again joined. No of PG3D(US=PGII) prefabricated templates were used. The units were produced all of me and of PAT from Beirut.
The majority of the area diagram is inspired from PG3D, however of basicup again was created.

It wouldn't; it's a Divided Ground mod, not an EF2/CS one. I must admit, with the Matrix CS now available and far more people still playing the old EF2 than ever did DG, I really can't see a market either.

Servus Tribus Cornovii,
who released you from Tintagel Castle?

DG meets PG3D contains all features of WF, EFII, RS. Over 300 new units (altogether 960) in 30 nations are present . In addition 5 different terrain variants (Western Europe, Mediterrain, Desert, Asia, Russia)
and substantially more terrain variants and features than in the new matrix summary.
I use only the DG engine, since this is developed in the CS series furthest.

Optimally would be natural, if the Mod would come for the new matrix product, changing of DG over would be optimal would naturally be possible in less than 2 hours for me. I cracked all codes of the plays EF, Wf EFII, RS and DG in the last 5 years.

In addition so the extremely historical campaigns and region scenarios could be offered to the new matrix purchase generation unfortunately had I again and again to determine, who the scenarios and campaigns participated in those American and British federations are good, in Eastern Europe however very big military-historical errors to emerge. Particularly the map material and the units presuppose a study of many years ,like German and Soviet literature and sources.

H.Balck (Tribus Hermundurii)

Very nice.[8D]

I am sure it has taken a very long time to make these scenarios.

Please list your download links more often.
It is a pain to backtrack them in past threads.[;)]
