November 13, 1944,
Svinesund,
Swedish-Norwegian border-

Operation Rädda Norge has begun. Following Finland's exit from the war the Swedish army is launched into Norway to open a window to the west.

Included in the Swedish order of battle are several battalions of Norwegian volunteers fielded under the deliberately misleading “Police Troops title”. They are in fact organized and equipped as regular infantry.

Although the Norwegian leadership is apprehensive about the prospect of making Norway into a battlefield the Norwegian troops themselves are enormously motivated for the task of fighting the occupier of their native land.

For the assault across the Ringdalsfjord the Norwegians of Bataljon III. and IV. will play the leading role...

(Fictional scenario...)

...at his disposal a weak force of infantry and Volkssturm with a single infantry gun as support and one company of pioneers expected to work miracles with their flamethrowers...

Just FYI the last two bunkers you put in have ATR's with HE ammo only.....guessing that was not your intention and I have corrected them for the patch but right now they are shooting marshmallows

Was this map built using the Venhola program?

(Shhhh......don't tell anyone but there are a number of new terrain types being added to both games in the next patch ----snowy and not so snowy winter maps really benefit but there are summer/desert changes and additions too...... I FINALLY got the time to do some REAL work not non stop OOB drudgery)

Well that sounds good. Can't wait to make maps with them.

Summer trees are totally redone
Autumn trees reworked a bit so they aren't as colourful
Winter trees have been reworked a bit and all sets have had more added which mixes things up better

on top of that there are pure coniferous sets for summer and winter and those will be autogenerated on maps

Add to that ...vineyards ( summer and winter ), coconut plantations/ groves and the style for plain orchard has been altered summer autumn and winter

What was winter grass in the game is now " very light snow " because there is a new "light snow" set ( all levels covered )

Deep water has been added ( ground level only naturally )

The dry short grass set has been totally redone as has impassible terrain ( all levels covered )

There is a new "scrub grass" set in dark brown tones for all levels useful on maps between November and March

Theres a new bare field that represents either a freshly planted one or a freshly harvested one

The green crop set was totally reworked as well.

Thats it ( so far )

a tiny sneak peak at some of what's been added..... I'm limited in what I can post and the more I try to show the smaller it gets



but the new orchards and vineyards are there along with the scrubgrass and light snow ( and the bare field....it has vineyards and orchards on it now....one reason it's in there is to be a base




Early winter pines and mixed forest.. The water colour palette has been changed too

Thanks, that's one of my favourites not just because it's instantly recognisable for what it represents at all zoom levels but also because it transforms the look of any other terrain it's placed over including slopes and hills but also because......it's all done with a single tile .
