Taking Siedlce is more difficult in V2.01 as i can see on the screenshot, historically the 11TC took Siedlce at high cost and was relieved after taking it.
Glad to see the GC is becoming more historically correct.

Still enjoying the mod, I had a great session a couple days ago vs the AI took lots of screenshots and posted them on steam if you want to check it out. In one battle two T-34/85 vs 1 Panther wasted all their AP ammo on it! Panther was with dark-green LOS as it was between a couple of trees, I think it couldn't aim to one T-34. Both soviet tanks survived although one was damaged. I couldn't take Siedlce with 11TK and now most of my tanks are gone after the third turn as told by Aetius.

I have one doubt regarding this 'relief' of the 11 Tank Korps: the BG's columns stay the same it seems (1st column infantry, 2nd column vehicles, 3rd column support) and I can choose vehicles in either Vehicle column or Support but now with more infantry only some teams I can choose in the Vehicle column not all of them! is this intended? why should some infantry be able to deploy in the vehicle column (the middle one) but not others?

ideally I would want the battlegroup to change from armored to infantry BG with two infantry columns and one support so I can fill it with infantry and choose the SP arty guns in support. Is this possible? or at least make ALL infantry able to be put in vehicle column why just some of the newly arrived full (9 soldiers) squads can be chosen there?. Because with this relief I get more infantry in the forcepool I want to be able make most of their use!

Thanks for the mod, let's hope Stalingrad is completed soon too so more Eastern front mods are available for LSA.

Glad you like the mod,
Changing/relieving battlegroups from armor to infantry can't be done, so the infantry battlegroup has to fit in the "infantry column-vehicle column-support column structure", to do this i've made duplicate infantry teams coded as "vehicle" so the player can put those teams in the vehicle column instead of the tanks.

The eastern front was so huge you could make dozens of great mods, problem is drawing the maps, you need huge amounts of time and artistic skills to draw a map, let alone 64 of them to fill the stratmap.
i've been looking for software that can help you make a basic top down map where ground, water and road textures can be easily drawn but i can't find any that i can use.

Radzymin44 mod v2.01a released. Aetius made several adjustments to data:

V2.01a:
-Fixed low ammo on FG42 and assault MG42
-Updated weapon accuracies
-Added Pioniere, HMG, panzerschreck and sniper to HG BG's
-Fixed target issue of PTRD-PTRS AT rifles
-Updated weapon reload times

Please unzip these files into your RadzyminV2.01 DATA\BASE folder and overwrite existing files

All ongoing V2.01 GC's should be able to continue

Aetius, still my favorite mod!!! (at the moment anyway). Probably because with the Panthers the Germans have better than average chance for their tanks to survive most rounds from the Russian guns. The other factor is that they are nearly immune from shots from the 76mm from the front. Anyway, I have played many campaigns, at least till I have been able to pretty well stop the Soviet advance. This latest one is where I decided that since the Soviet attack was largely unknown to the Germans that I would not move any of my units until they came under attack. This resulted in a better number of Russian units that were able to penetrate further into the battle map and thus more challenging battles on the Stratmap.

Attached are the results after about five days of battle. The German reinforcements are coming in the nick of time to repel the stronger Russian armor units. Not sure why but the kill ratio for the tanks is the best I have ever attained. I have made more and better use of smoke, so I believe that has made a huge difference—especially when it comes to AT guns.

now try the Soviet side! it's very tough against the A.I., at least against the German Kampfgruppen that have Panthers.

[Schmal_Turm]

I'll try it after I either get the Russians checked so they can't go any further, or I finish.

[Aetius]

Indeed, the soviet campaign against the AI is tougher.
V2.01was adjusted based on H2H player feedback, next version even more so.

[Schmal_Turm]

(First image) Well, I pretty well finished the last campaign I played as the Germans. The German Wehrmacht had chronicled a 10 to 1 kill ratio against the Soviet armored forces during the war. So, I was trying to attain that this last time. For a while I had attained that and more, but toward the end now it is more like 8 or 9 to 1. I never finished the campaign having about three days of battle left.

(Second image) So, as I said, after I finished the last campaign as the Germans, I would try as the Soviet forces. Although I found it somewhat difficult to defeat the Panthers I was able to destroy enough of them as noted in the armor losses attached. The great majority of the German losses were the Panthers as they were the first units encountered. I pretty much let the AI decide what Soviet forces were composed of, with a few exceptions. There are about nine days left of battle.

I'm currently updating the mod to V3.01
-All infantry teams will be more historically correct.
-BG's will be more historically correct, i've found gliederungen (T.O.O.) in digital german archives.
-Data tweaks
-maybe replace a couple of maps.
-Campaigns will be shorter, in reality 19PzDv and HGDv where pulled out of the fighting after neutralising the 3TC attack and so was the 2nd tank army (exept 8th Gds TC)
a 3rd GC will be added starting 6th august where the soviet infantry steamroller pushes the germans to the Vistula step by step.

If you have some feedback let me know

[Pzt_Kanov]

That sounds great Aetius!
Thanks for all the efforts.

I REALLY like this mod.
Before I reinstalled windows I was rocking this mod single player and I was having a blast.

I was attacking as the soviets.

I love everything about this mod.
The graphics, illustrations and the setting is all great.

[Aetius]

Thanks for the compliment,

As posted above i'm working on V3.01 now, if you have some feedback don't hesitate to let me know.
