Mussolinis Treasure Maps

This thread will contain screenshots and (possibly) downloadable maps custom created by Mussolini for the Combat Mission Series. There will also be descriptions along with each map, describing them in detail and what was hoped to be accomplished with each map. Some maps will be flagged with Testing Needed for which Mussolini will appreciate feedback. Comments on all maps and selected units are also welcome.

(NOTE: *Treasure NOT Included)

Map #1: Round 1 TESTING COMPLETE

Infantry Only on a small map. Weather is Foggy and Raining. A Meeting Engagement between the Germans and Russians. Equally sized forced. 1 Major Victory Point, 2 Minor Victory Points. Terrain is flat with a Ridge in the Middle, where most of the fighting will take place. Two Armored Cars.

Forces: Germany vs. Russia
Scenario: Meeting Engagement

Map #2:Finnish Delight TESTING NEEDED

Russian Attacking Finnish Troops that are dug in. Russian Forces divided by a River that has three Crossing point and 3 'Town' Areas. Towns include Objectives, as does the Vantage Point, overlooking the Town. The Finns have limited ATG capabilities and no Tanks. The Finns must hold on at all costs!

Forces: Finland vs. Russia
Scenario: Russian Assault

Map #3: Trollville TESTING COMPLETED

A meeting engagement between German and Russian Forces as both try to secure Trollville. A key feature on this map is the River splitting the map in half. Trollville has already taken a heavy shelling from both sides and many buildings are already destroyed or are on fire.

Oooooh. Can't wait.

 

I will try it tonight

 

Eh, couldn't wait. Looks good, starts up good. Will play around with it as day goes by

 

The 3rd Map I have made (Trollville is its name) is so far the best. I'm getting more familiar with the Map Editor and how things work (homes cant be put on slopes, for instance) so my future maps should be pretty good. Currently play-testing Trollville with Otto (10+ Tanks, Company+ Infantry, so lots of troops) to tweak around with.

Will post more maps once I get home. Some of these will be used for the Tournament

EDIT: Also note that AI probably won't be the smartest in these maps. My Finnish Delight map, for instance, they kinda just...sit there for some reason.

 

I played the Round 1 game and noticed the following. At the end, the Germans lost more men but had total possession of the two minor flags and the major flag was in dual possession. The two Russian scout cars were destroyed but at the end it showed that both sides lost their scout cars. It counted it as a defeat for the Germans. Was it because of the losses? Other than that, the game itself played out well. though, the Russians seem more aggressive. They sure loved to throw them grenades. The Germans were more passive it seemed.

 

I think it depends on who plays as who, as the AI is scripted. Should be posting another scenario up today. Currently, my Trollville map (which I am playing with Otto on) is a complete bloodbath! Burning tanks, burning halftracks, fires, dead bodies! Heavy tank losses on both sides, with Infantry yet to engage each other, though the 5 crossing points all need to be captured!

 

Updated First Post of Thread, with Images and new Map.

 

Currently working on another large map. Axis Attacking Allies. Foggy, which limits site, trying to work some kinks out to make it an exciting map.

 

I will post a new map I made tonight.

 

Yup, excellent work. Can't wait for the tourney

 

Make sure you join the social group! http://www.ww2f.com/groups/combat-mission-rogue-battalion.html

That way I can keep tabs on all those who have CMBB.

I'll bump the tourney thread and see who is all still interested. Then I'll get things started.

(PS: I heard that Alfie will be awarded to the winner - either as a Pet or a Meal, your choice.)

 

Need a cook?

 

So THATS what Za really calls 'beef' in his restaurant!

 

Added Map 3: Trollville to the Treasure Chest.

 

Official Round 2 Map: Trollville

 

I just looked at the new map yesterday.

I see that the Russian T-34s were toned down, but I also see there was an endless supply of Panzerfausts and an anti tank gun added. I'm just wondering whether all the extra Panzerfausts were necessary to get a closer balance? The extra halftracks also make this quite a tedious setup exercise.

I don't want to sound critical, perhaps my opinion isn't very informed but all the extra units make this quite overwhelming.

 

Ah, crap. Theres a million panzerfausts? I noticed that in another edit and thought I had fixed it.
