Tonights Squad Session - Stalingrad
Posted: Sun Sep 17, 2006 12:05 pm
Assuming we are still on for a "winter break" away from the sunny beaches of Guadalcanal then I have 6 missions available tonight for Stalingrad.
Please bear in mind these are my first ever attempts with the FMB and there are a couple of issues at least I am still getting to grips with - the first is defining what the win conditions are for each team and the second is setting the level of "destruction" for ground objects.
I have play tested them all from the ground pounder perspective and they seem to work OK - not sure about the fighters.
The missions start in August with one based around Operation Blau, there is one for the German bombing raids, 3 for the German attack on the city, and then one for the airlift when the Germans were encircled.
I plan to add several more representing Operation Uranus, the Russian counter attack, and Operation Winter Storm which was the attempt to reach the 6th army after they were encircled. These will include some missions against Romanian and Italian aircraft for variety.
Aircraft for tonight are il2's, P39's and LaGG3's. There are between 12 and 16 aircraft per mission so should be enough for the regulars.
Not sure how much time I will have to fly tonight - family commitments - although I should manage to join you for a couple at least. Strangelove has offered to host, and I have PM'd the missions to him - but I can send them to someone else as a back up if required.
Cya later - hopefully.
Constructive feedback on playability very welcome.
