This... did not go as planned. In fact, the defence of Obenheim is waaay over****ed.

I deployed heavily supported mechanized companmy with all the tanks and ample artillery support, only to get half of the town with massive casualties.

Not sure what to do now. I want to regroup and take the rest should Germans not retreat. In fact, I was so mad this is the very first time I was killking everyone to the last, including tank and gun crews fleeing.

I will take no prisoners in Obenheim, not after loosing nearly entire company in sick snow attack on fortified position in just 24 turns...
Luckily I am drunk and in rather good mood today so I will refrain from yersterday's details.

Well, don't drink and command...

Despite heavy casualties we managed to push the Germans out of their defenses in Obenheim and force them to retreat. Their New Year's eve offensive has failed, Strasbourg is secure.

However, they still hold a strong bridgehead across the Rhine, the Colmar Pocket. We are on of the divisions tasked with reducing it, after a short period of refit.

23rd January 1945

Near Ilhäusern

Today we start the offensive towards the Rhine. The front is held by infantry of the 708. Volksgrenadier Division, with heavy tank destroyers from schw. Pz.Jägerabteilung 654 in support.

- Deploy your troops
- Get whatever objectives you can

Just outta curiosity. How long does it take for you to make such as this?

DRG · #**174** December 6th, 2017, 07:37 PM

I'm curious how many others are playing these as well..........

@Ts4Ever - actually I meant map :P How long does it take you to make one.

@DRG - even so, they do not have continuity...

Ts4EVER · #**176** December 7th, 2017, 07:57 AM

Not sure, maybe a couple of hours? Compared to FH2 no time at all...

The map generator speeds the process considerably once you get a "feel" for what it does on the size map you want.....and the advanced editor lets you cut and paste from one map to another which saves a huge amount of time

Actually DRG, any good tutorials or suggestions on using random generator? Also, Ts4Ever, do you use it as well? Because I do paint all my maps, eventually I will sometimes copy paste... but never really used random generator and then edited anything. Well, generated maps ofthen look just ugly :v

Ts4EVER · #**179** December 7th, 2017, 02:25 PM

No, I make the maps by hand.

I'm surprised. I thought most maps were now mods from the random generator. I've had a few early experimentations that looked odd......never "ugly" so I'm a BIT baffled by that statement

Just so I understand we are referring to the same thing.. Are you referring to THIS

or just a map that pops up when you generate a battle ?
