S! all
The next setup for the CT is coming this Saturday.
It will be set on the Russian Front in late 1942 and early 1943.
It will be entitled: `Cauldron of Fire` The Sixth Army surrounded at Stalingrad.
It will use the Stalingrad Terrain which is available in the HTC downloads. This terrain has winter tiles and has never been used in the main arenas.
This is the aircraft lineup for the first week:
Axis
German
109F4
109G2
190A5
190F
Ju88
C-47 (limited bases)
Italian
MC202
GV`s
MkIV
M8 (subbing for German armoured car)
M3 (subbing for German halftrack)
Ostwind
Soviet:
Yak9T
La5FN (limited fields)
IL-2
C-47
Lendlease
Hurricane IIC
Hurricane IID
GV`s
Mk IV (subbing for T-34)
M8
M3
M16
The situation would start with Stalingrad mostly in the hands of the Germans, but surrounded after the Soviet Winter Counteroffensive of November `42.
The Strat system for this setup will be different than the normal `Reset` rules.
Instead each side will have defined objectives which they must capture. Victory will be determined by a CT Staff member every night at 12 midnight EST. If a side has achieved their victory conditions, then a victory will be declared and the Arena will be reset.
The German Objectives would be to break the ring encircling Stalingrad and drive the Soviets back. The Soviet objective would be to eliminate the pocket and drive West to take Rostov.
More details on the exact fields controlled, required to be captured etc. later.
The setup would use a perk point system which will allow players to build perk points for use in the second week of the setup when new perk aircraft will be introduced.
There will be no La-7`s, P-51`s, 190D9`s Spit IX`s, N1K2`s in this setup...
