I am not sure if i can release my map here, So if it shouldn't be done with out concent , Please remove the post .

Yelnya is a town in Smolensk Oblast, Russia, situated on the Desna River82 km from Smolensk .The name of the town has come from 'yel' (fir tree) or yelan' (land cleared from forest) in russian. Yelnya became the place of the Yelnya Offensive, the first successful offensive operation of Soviet troops in the Great Patriotic War.

It is a 2player map , There are four bridges heads , One is a foot bridge , There are structures along all path ways which can be garrisoned and used defensively initially .

I dont play Victory points , Thus i don't know how they work , But have placed them around the corners and center , Any suggestion on getting the Fuel /Munitions section along with Victory points for better gameplay would be appreciated .

Small Update 26.01.2010

Have moved the fuel positions and placed some AI markers , Have a look .

Small Update 05.02.2010
The AI with the current patch (1.04) is little subdued at normal, At expert it is interesting , I lost both the times i tried .Thus since initially the AI goes for the fuel positions i have not changed the AI marker positions .

I have redrawn the sector map , The strategic points now can be used more effectively to cut of sectors , and have moved the sectors .

Pls try to give the AI slot 1, Cause it is aggrisive only then , When given the slot one they just gang up near the hamlet and wait .

I see the downloads , It would help if you could write the opinions and suggestions also .

Replay 07.02.2010

Have attached a replay of my game (EF mod) to show how the AI plays , I gave up , But i could have won .. ;)

Regards
Funnyme /Akka - Rishad

P.S.I had asked DEV for permission , But presume he is busy .

Looking very good.

Unfortunately, if we do choose to include this, we can't take it in the first release.

 I like it too :)
 - A little too big too. Make it (4) ?
 - What is a church doing on a soviet map? Explain :)
 - A weee too late to include it in first draft, aye,
 That's good news for rest of us :D But think of it
 this way, time to refine it, and almost certain it'll
 be in 2nd draft. Looks beautiful. Good work dude :)

Hi Lou,

I think If i have to make it 4 player , I will have to place the bases in the fields , This would mean One player would have the Advantage of Being Near to the Bridge's .

However i was thinking of getting some strategic sectors in place so that a player would have more options .

Your house was Burgled? That crap man, sorry to hear that. Oh well, only 2 days to wait until you get the mod... if that's any consolation...

Hi,

updated post-1 with the links .

The AI with the current patch (1.04) is little subdued at normal, At expert it is interesting , I lost both the times i tried .Thus since initially the AI goes for the fuel positions i have not changed the AI marker positions .


I have redrawn the sector map , The strategic points now can be used more effectively to cut of sectors , and have moved the sectors .
