Update: East Front 1941-1945 v2.0 in the works.

Post by governato »

I am working on an significant update of 'East Front 41-45' (Russian Front at the Korps/Army level) after playtesting with Mark Dabbs in Spring (we wrote a fun AAR and got out to 1943). I plan to release the new version in late Summer 2012.

Planned Improvements:

- An historically accurate estimate of production rates for both sides, as a lot of new data have become available.
- As already for the Red Army, make the Axis squad replacements separate from production of guns/tanks/planes (historically squad replacements went down, the latter went up).
- Using Theather Options to make the 42+ Red Army OOB somewhat flexible and depending on player's choices to fit the needs of the ongoing campaign.
- Accounting for attrition losses (due to low level combat and illnesses) through Pestilence effects.
- TOEs of Army and Korps level units that keep into account the large number of independent regiments and battalions attached to them.
- Making Pioneers and Sappers separate from Construction units using a dedicated equipment file.
- Perhaps allowing a few interesting what-if for the German side including rebalancing the production of tanks or more emphasis on the submarine war. Need to work out the penalties, as they will be zero sum changes.
- Sorry no Nazi spaceships!
- Some map retouches
- Resist the temptation to add lots of units. There is the amazing FITE for that!
- Suggestions?

The Eastern Front 1941-1945 v2.0 in final testing.

Post by governato »

Just a quick update to mention that the new scenario 'The Eastern Front' is in its final testing phase. This will not be an upgrade of the scenario originally posted here, but a complete new one (still at 30km/hex, 1 week/turn, 205 turns. 800+ events, options for different production choices and variable OOB, 'Soviet Union 41' disband model for replacements).
Currently writing the documentation, checking for small bugs and preparing a quick AAR. A fancy PO will have to wait for TOAW 3.5, but life is short, so why wait.
