RED ARMY FACTION : LEVEL I
I. Back, Back, Back

I. Operation Barbarossa is in full effect. Comrade Stalin was caught napping and now the Soviets are paying for it. Soviet infantry on occupied Poland are being slaughtered left right by the Luftwaffe and the incoming Panzer Groups. The mission here is two-fold. Survive, and, as ordered by your superiors, ensure as many of your brethren survive as possible.

As a commander, you control mostly Conscript squads and have to entrench yourself as the Wehrmacht advances. The player uses the Propaganda Doctrine. The map is that of the sweeping, summer plains with two east-west roads that turn into a single junction. There is a Soviet base on the far East end of the map by the road. As the mission starts, several beleaguered Conscripts come from the west reporting the Germans are attacking, and you are responsible for the defense until the injured troops and trucks can get further east.

Objectives
1. Maintain the Front as long as possible while other units retreat. (4 minutes)
2. Hold back the Wehrmacht from taking the road as long as possible.
3. Retreat back to the junction and hold it as long as possible.

Secondary Objectives
1. Protect Comrade Kuzichinko's damaged T-34 until its repaired. (This will occur as he retreats along the road in objective two.)

OFF-TOPIC

The Mod in itself follows the guidelines of what Company of Heroes is all about. I have no complaints except that nobody online is ever playing it.

ON-TOPIC

My idea:

And that will be kind of the " How the Soviet's play " level.

This is a good idea, due to Pacific Thunder being on the primordial back burner.

Is Corsix or the Company of Heroes Modding Setup (http://www.moddb.com/mods/company-of-heroes-modern-combat/downloads/company-of-heroes-modding-setup) better for Modding?

I heard the latter is easier but not as precise.

You guys should read Rommel's works.

He mentions that the average Italian soldier was not a bad one, but rather they were led by inexperienced men, and were using WWI equipment. The average Italian soldier was one whom did not want to fight, for he had nothing to gain from it.

Italy and Japan are the next factions if anything.

Romania and Bulgaria failed miserably on the Eastern Front with troops as early as 1943 surrendering before firing a shot.
