Salute Some you may have noticed a new Stalingrad map on the server. I have today just updated it to demonstrate the concepts I am hoping to use in the next campaign event. The new features are as follows; I have done away with the "flag". I think this may have been a contributor to the multi-player overload messages and replaced it with just the monument we used in the Arras Campaign. All you have to do to capture a town is to drive up to the monument. Capture points will be indicated by a YELLOW marker when neutral. If captured by Russians it will turn RED, if captured by Germans will turn BLUE. Capture points are indicated by a circle, a square or a triangle. The circle will indicate 100% of units available once captured. the square 50% and the triangle 25%. Once a town has been captured the spawn point will be 2km in the rear. This means that each side will have its own spawn points and not a single one for both sides as before. Should a side loose a captured town, they will retain their spawn point for a limited time (in testing 20 minutes but may go to 30). This will give them an opportunity to re-attack. The defending side may choose to continue their advance and attack the spawn point. There will be a number of airfields that can be captured and used by either side. Ground forces can capture an airfield. Once captured the airfield will only become fully operational once a plane has landed and unloaded cargo within a zone 100m in front of a couple of hangers. Should opposition ground forces capture the airfield, the airplane spawn point will be disabled until they can land a cargo plane. There is no tank spawn available at the airfield. If you want to have a look for yourself there are a couple of towns and airfields with test tank spawns nearby to save time travelling. I am planning to add a small number AAA units to the airfield and also some Anti-tank units to the spawn points. Please let me know what you think of these features.
