I finally got a few minutes to put together some teaser information. Sorry it still isn't much.
Scenario: Late June, 1941. Panzer Group 2 heads for the Berezina River with Smolensk as the next major objective. Remnants of the RKKA 4th Army are pulling together holding actions and digging in along the western banks of the Berezina in efforts to slow the German attack. Russian infantry are establishing a series of defense lines extending approximately 1km west of the river in three lines: a skirmisher line meant to detect direction of the enemy attack; a 'first' defense line of improvised trench works and shallow bunkers; a 'second' defense line occupying a ridge line just east of a small collective farm; and a 'river' defense line covering the one standing bridge over the river.
Objectives: Numerous. I am hoping to establish a series of right and left objectives that weave together to central points before branching out again to allow hard hold and flank moves putting a premium on communication and use of vehicles.
Content: Hopefully some new custom tanks/vehicles and possibly stationary anti-tank guns and maybe a Maxim MG.
Map size: Approximately 800 meters by 1200 meters. 7 main lines of objectives, some with two required cap zones to progress to the next point.
***DEVELOPER DISCLAIMER*** This is my first RO map, first UT engine map. I have released some 4 'Medal of Honor' and 5 'Call of Duty' maps over the last four years. Learning a new tool set has been a challenge. There is a lot I like and a lot that I don't like about these tools...terrain functionality being one of them. NOTE that the following images are of a work in progress so no need for critical input like "why no map edging" or "needs more cover" or anything of the sort. Please. I hope to attach some CoD/Berezina pictures later in the thread to give some more ideas of the scope I am trying to reach. Thanks!
I'm having a nightmare getting images in properly etc and getting in trouble for having too many images...how it counts is beyond me so I've cut the list down and too annoyed to yet again type up the descriptions of each image...more later.
