This is a very hard mission and ment to be like that.

Have fun & report (mission related!) bugs, please :)

* for required addons, the 31st Normandy mod contains Beton addons and all his maps.

:)

Thank you for the mission!

Thank you very much for the mission...

ill definitely try that.

@all: since the Betons addons and Map Huertgenwald in 31stnormandy are not the latest versions, i suggest you use the ones mentioned by dimitri as addons. Should work with the Winterversion of Huertgenwald too

( not tested yet).

have fun

Thanx Dimitri,

Ive been having lotta fun and frustrations with your mission,

indeed a desperate attack.

@Beton: Yeah, I noticed that the 31st version of the Map is an older one...

btw: I have to thank YOU for that great map!

It's a pitty that that nice ravine across the map is just too much for the AI :( (at least in the 31st version of the map, I will have to check if it works on the actual version too.) - But I'm more a COOP or TEAM vs TEAM guy anyway.

@Waxbutter:

Thanks! One's own AI is always the most frustrating thing for me in that mission...

@ Dimitri: When i tested, the ai vehicles used the bridges quite well.

I really liked your mission, but it was quite hard. A bit more ammo would be nice as half of my group was out of ammo after a while.

AI & bridges:

Might be the same phenomenon seen on Isla Duala: Probably the 'tides' effect the water level in the ravine. Trucks use the bridge, but tanks tend to try to take shortcuts right through the water, and often get stuck or destroyed.

But again: This was on the earlier version included with 31stN, and your map is really great. I have a nice little book on some of the battles in that area and will add more and more historic missions for sure.

--

And the mission: Out of small arms ammo or Panzerschreck Rockets/Panzerfäuste? In the first case, I will add more magazines to the Blitz & SdKfz. The Anti-Tank weapons are short on supply on purpose, if you are desperate: There are some satchel charges in the transports... :)

Thanks for the feedback!

Cheers,

D.

EDIT:

Ok, I updated the mission to work with the newest version of Beton's Hürtgenwald map (epic map!).

DIH CO26 Desperate Attack version 1.1

Get it HERE (FileFront).

Changelog:

- placement/waypoints updated to work with Hürtgenwald 1.0

- possible end game bug solved

- more ammo in the transports

Tip: All users of the 31st Normandy mod should remove the old version of the Hürtgenwald map that is included with it and replace it with the newest version 1.0 (HERE).

Update!

Version 1.2 now available (see OP for details).

DIH CO26 Desperate Attack version 1.2

Get it HERE (FileFront).

This update was necessary because the mission was no longer compatible with the latest version of the 31st Normandy mod (0.99b).

Cheers,

D.

Hard mission, had a good "This is it, all or nothing!" Feel to it. I had alot of fun.

Thanks :)

But we found out that the mission is much too easy for a 13 player COOP - SP is a different story, though...
