Race to the Volga AAR Soviet Union

Chris over at The Sharp End Gaming has provided me and Doug from Cry Havoc! an early build of his new Stalingrad scenario, “Race to the Volga”. This is a companion scenario to “Operation Hubertus” that Chris released on his blog on Monday. Doug has typically played these as the Germans, and I have been playing them as the Soviet Union.

I am in command of the Soviet 62^nd Army with 9,351 personnel, 55 armored fighting vehicles, 1,281 non-armored fighting vehicles and 153 guns with a combined anti-personnel firepower rating of 3,519, anti-armor of 31,474, bombardment of 666 (pure evil), armor of 348 and an infantry value of 4,809. These 113 total starting units are facing a German press into the city that I must repulse or delay as much as possible to collect the Victory Point locations my forces are presently arrayed upon.

Night Operations Beta

Night Operations is a team death match map based on the Island Dawn map. The changes are purely atmospheric - the time of day acceleration is reduced from 75% to 25% and the time starts at 1:00 AM. This is coupled with the darkest environmental map from the NILE editor in order to create a map where night vision equipment would be necessary in most instances. I will be placing this up on the server for testing. No file downloads are required.

This map will be updated based on feedback received.

Island Dawn Map Released

"Island Dawn" is a Team King of the Hill map for Joint Operations. The fighting is centered on one small island with opposing forces starting out on opposite beach heads. This map is my first attempt at adding vegetation (all of the trees) as well as dynamic spatial sounds. Depending on where you are on the map, you can hear the beach surf where it should be, the sound of the wind rolling in off of the water and various insects throughout the map.

This map will be a featured part of the dedicated gaming nights each Thursday. Please post any feedback that you may have.

Joint Operations - Street Fight Released

"Street Fight" is a multiplayer team death match only map for JO:TR. The map is an enclosed street with team spawn points directly opposite of each other on a long street. There are multiple approaches to this map to take advantage of various concealment opportunities. The rooftops are quite ample for snipers, but not to overbalance the game play. A well placed frag or AT4 launch from another rooftop can neutralize sharpshooters instantly. There are no air assets available in order to keep all players within the target area.

This map is currently available for download at NovaXchange. Please post feedback on that site regarding this map.

Under Construction - JO Forward Base

This is one of my current map projects for JOTR. The map layout supports a straight up team death match game. The JO team will have an established forward base of operations which will come under attack by Indonesian rebel forces from three different staging points which are triangulated around the JO base. This map is about 30% complete at this stage.

As with all of the JO maps I am working on through NILE, I need MP testers to validate the game play.

Special thanks to CC @ amxcellence.com for hosting most of these files. Please note that some of these maps are over a year old, and as such the overall quality and design may be questionable by today's standards. I'll be honest - I am not the best map maker and some of these efforts might suck!
