[Ostfront] English Corner

[nono hard et heavy]

Hi, it's still French and I forgot something. I play with different mods (including Ostfront) and each time I notice the same thing: in the heroes, there is MW (Michael Wittmann, panzer hero). But we never get it. Do you have an answer? Thank you.

Hello nono hard et heavy,

you could edit the "Infanterie Regiment Grossdeutschland" to give it an "SdKfz" as transportation, but that makes the unit week during transportation, just like "Infanterie" riding on a truck.
Its much better you spent them a Hero to add 1 Point to his range of motion, so as I did.

The heros are divided into three classes Heer-Army - Luftwaffe-Air Force - Marine-Navy.
So you could have the picture "Michael Wittmann" as hero at an infantrie-, artillerie- or a tank-unit. As well tanks with three infantrie-heros.
I think there are three different pictures of MW availabel at the heros stock.
I got about 30 tank heros and only three of them are MW, also 20 Infantrie heros and 4 times MW and 17 artillerie heros an none MW.
At least - its a matter of luck to get the right picture.

The best method is, you save the game befor fighting and accept the hero and skill you get or load again to get another picture or skill.

Hello. Thank you for your answers. Mission 5 Odessa HGS : I followed the instructions and captured the port but I never received the ship as explained in the forum. I followed the instructions and captured the port but I never received the ship as explained in the forum. Is there a way to make it appear in my army corps because I have no more backup of this scenario (I am further in the campaign).

You receive the ship one round after You captured the harbor.
Link round 18 with the red flag, captured by the germans within the same round.
Link round 19 - the ship appears near by one round after you captured the harbor.
If you finisched the scenario with a victory right after you captured the harbor there will be no ship, because you switched into the next scenario.

Hello, dear friend. I restarted the campaign to have the ship and it was an oversight on my part. I was too fast. thanks for the reply and the save. I see you're renaming all the units, it's work. I do not know if you know but to have the real units, here is a site for create the real army corps (South, North and Center)

Hello. I have the same problem as mentioned in scenario 20 Wintergewitter. However, I downloaded the patch but it does not work. Can not deploy planes. But the most important thing is that I fulfill all the conditions of victory but I get a defeat. I am waiting for the 2 headquarters to meet at the South depot, I have the message that I can capture victory hexes. I occupy them with German units, but at the end of the scenario, defeat! Can you explain to me why? Greetings.

Hello Nono hard and heavy,
last time (4 years ago) I played this scenario. Sorry, now I am again at scenario 18 and can't proof the situation at no.20. right now.

You write your followed all rules, but the two generals are still alive, at your end of the scenario ?

I think its the best way, you save the beginning of this scenario or end of the one befor and start another campain until I am finisched with 20 or someone else has the right tip the end this scenario with a victory.

Hello Mr U von Schreckenstein. Thank you for taking the time to answer me. Yes the two general are alive at the end of the scenario. They were placed in the right place since I got the message telling me that I could capture victory hexes. I am waiting for your progress. Greetings.

Hello dear friend german. As I do not want to make any mistakes like in the scenario where I forgot the surface ship because I went too fast, I read the sequence of scenarios in the section Fragen, Tipps and Tericks where you posted the story of the 20 Wintergewitter scenario in August 2013. This is where I saw the fix of Legroeder correcting the bug of air units. Unfortunately it did not work with me but it works fine with Peter. Greetings.

After I took the last "champs primaires" this scenario finished.

Bonne soirée, nono hard et heavy

Götterdämmerung ( Ragnarök vikings ) is very heavy to play and déprimant for the player. I had won all the time and at last it ends at Berlin, peut-être avec négociations de paix.

At the first scénario you only could by Panzer IVG tanks as the best change, but there are Abteilungen 502. 503. ( détachement 502. 503. ) Tiger Tanks at the scénario.

At the 8. scénario Tiger détachement 506. joins your group. Later 15. ? they could be upgrated to King-Tiger. Hero-Movement +1 is helpful. Save - Shot - Load ... until you got the right one.

There are several other good Tanks ( Panther, Jagdpanther ) that join you during the campain.

Au revoir
