New Scenario Package - Ukraine 2022
Posted: 2022-08-07 05:53, Sunday
With Micha's encouraging response for my initial Kanev scenario, I decided to expand upon the theme to create a package of scenarios for Ukraine 2022!
I will continuously update the package and will update when I have time. The scenarios can be found at this link.
https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ajh_jBshoZo9fcM1DoQ ... k?e=FcJUdV
As of 8/7 8/14, there are two three scenarios in the package:
Kanev
This scenario is based on the Kanev scenario from Panzer General II. This scenario assumes that the Russians have completed operations in the Donbass, captured Kharkov/Kharkiv and Poltava, and will press for a second attempt on Kiev/Kyiv via Kanev/Kaniv. As in the original scenario, they will try to cross the Dnepr/Dnipro at Kanev/Kaniv. The date of the original scenario, September 23, was not altered. The year was simply changed from 1943 to 2022.
Belgorod
This scenario is based on the Zitadelle scenario from Panzer General II. This scenario indulges in a fantasy where the Ukrainians, after pushing the Russians away from Kharkov/Kharkiv in May of 2022, move on to capture Belgorod during the summer and replay the southern pincer of Operation Zitadelle. The date of the original scenario, July 5, was not altered. The year was simply changed from 1943 to 2022.
Suomussalmi
This scenario is based on the Suomussalmi scenario from Panzer General II. This scenario assumes that the Russians have completed operations in Ukraine and expanded the "Special Military Operation" to Finland before NATO ratification is completed. The date of the original scenario, December 24, was not altered. The year was simply changed from 1939 to 2022.
There is also a campaign called "Special Military Operation" that combines Kanev and Suomussalmi together.
The file includes necessary an optionalequipment file, an optional MOGDEN file, GUI file, and an optional executable. Detailed installation instructions and notes are provided in the readme file of the package.
The package includes a new country, specifically, Finland. However, all the data is modified in very minor ways from equipment in the stock game. I have taken the view that it is better to use a simpler, more abstract pool of equipment than to deal with the zoo of equipment that is actually used in the war. I also think it is important to keep the balance and flavor of the original game. Because the scenarios are both compatible with the original game, it is still just a scenario package and a true mod. However, as I expand on this package, I may eventually turn it into a mod.
Please feel free to provide comments on any of the scenarios in this thread. If you would like to collaborate as well, please let me know. Hopefully, this effort can give some more life to People's General!
