miharme -> Non-German Axis campaigns? (4/2/2001 5:04:00 AM)

Does anybody where I can find campaigns for non-German Axis countries? Call me weirdo, but I find playing a campaign with Italians or Hungarians most interesting...

Sounds like a great idea!! Maybe one of the guys will do it OR the best way to get what you want is create it yourself. Wild Bill is going to start a scenario/campaign class this week - that will help a lot if you haven't done much design. It should be very interesting - contrary to what ruxius thinks!!! :D :D Figmo P.S. But that's OK ruxius - I got a water pistol and I'll squirt you to keep you awake!! :p

I know one campaign that could be interesting. It's called "Wrestling the Bear" and deals whit the Finnish battalion ERP 18 and it's struggle against the Russian bear. It's still in the making by "Gunner" from the Raiders team, and I only playtested the first scenario, but it looks to be a smashing one. :) Sorry to say, I don't know when it'll be redy for download. :(

My favorite country!! I was working on a Hungarian Campaign, but with Combat Leader taking all my time, that went South :( I only had the first two sceanrio's done, well, mostly, but maybe someday, I will get back to it!

I am infact planning to create at least a scenario on the battle of Nikolajewka, taken by Italian Alpini units after a terrifying retreat from the Don to the west in the January of 1943. Thanks AC

Yea something like Etheopia to Rome megacampain. As the Italians.



Warhorse -> (4/3/2001 11:29:00 PM)

Okay, that's it, you all got my interest peaked!! I'm going to try and work on this campaign, bit by bit again. It is basically following the Hungarian 1st Motorized Division. Will see how it goes, at least the first two scenarios are under way ;)



miharme -> (4/4/2001 12:22:00 AM)

Please do! Italians, Rumanians and Hungarians seem not to be popular for no good reason. Keep us posted and thank you!



Warhorse -> (4/4/2001 1:05:00 AM)

There are, unfortunately, a very few of us that are Axis Minor enthusiasts!! All but one of the scenario's I made, are dealing with the Axis Minors, Hungary in particular, but also Rumania, and Bulgaria. Will see how much I can get done on this, will let you know, thanks for the interest!



Alby -> (4/4/2001 3:04:00 AM)

Finnish Mega-Campaign? One could limit it to the Winter War. Or for the chronic insominiacs among scenario developers: Start in Winter War, go through some battles of Continuation War and end up in the Lapland War?

I think that there will be more Finn-campaigns as people get familiar to this game and its capabilitys. I for example have data to do battles around the Hanko, Finlands southest town. Ít will have sovjets elite troops, marines and railroad-guns (3 of them) T-26's and lots of infantry fighting in island/rocks along the coast of Hanko peninsula. But as almost everytime when getting an idea of great campaing, time is short right now...it'll have to waite.. mosh

Hello. I would see a minor axis from Spain. The spanish Blue Division (integrated in the Werchmacht as the 250th ID). They fought very hard, bloody battles against de Soviets. Late in 43 they returned to Spain. Volunteers formed then the Blue or Spanish Legion. Almost 2000 men. They returned home in 1944. A Battalion of die-hard anticommunists refused to go home. They were integrated in the Waffen SS. In May 1945 they were fighting in the ruble of Berlin. In March of 1954 the last 286 prisoners captured by the soviets returned to Spain. Of them 21 had fought until the end of the war in 1945. 47.000 volunteers served in the Blue Division between June 1941 and December 1943. The approximate losses were 6.000 killed in action, 15.000 Wounded and 326 MIA (an estimated 45% of the entire force). The Red Army lost 49.300 men to the Spanish. :D

From off my bookshelf :) All from the Osprey Military Men-At-Arms Series. The Romanian Army of World War 2. The Italian Army 1940-45 (1) Europe 1940-43. Germany's Eastern Front Allies 1941-45. :D
