Stalingrad Campaign

Hello, actually I'm working on Stalingrad campaign as you perhaps know.
The first step is to add some specific elements to Stalingrad: ruins, industrial buildings, factory, ...
Grain Elevator :
Industrial buildings:
Train:
Fuel tank:
I'll add more factory, specially the large ones.
Ruins, debris, new trenches, shell hole, ditch, ... are already planned :
Ruins:
More ruins: (we need a lot of
)
Shell hole:
Ditch:
Factory:
The Second step is to add some new units if necessary. Any suggestions?
And the third step is to see how render the urban combat and the house to house tactical. In a perfect world/game we need to have different floors for the large building. But I guess I can't deal with this features... So here again all suggestions are welcome!

First off - bless you Sir for taking a stab at this when Slitherine would not.
As for:
The Second step is to add some new units if necessary. Any suggestions?
Commissars perhaps ? - to shoot cowards who betray the Revolution?

One other thing (which maybe you already have planned for the final version) is to make the ground more Stalingrad-like:

About ground: good idea! We need some new textures for tiles.
About Commissars: um not sure. Or make special moral rules for Russian troops... Perhaps make some 'leader' features like well a famous ww2 tactical wargame.
About new units I've spotted:
- German 2.8 cm sPzB 41:
- URSS 203mm m 1931 "Stalin's sledgehammer"
Well I'm not sure it was used into Stalingrad but it's rocks!

Hello! I'm still alive
and still working on Stalingrad!
Working on ground textures:
RailStation n°2:
Grain Elevator:
I'm still not completely satisfied with the final rendering, but it begins to look more to a ruined city like Stalingrad.

Looking Great Amaris - keep up the good work ....
Only thing I would add would be more grit / destruction to the sidewalks / plaza tiles ...
Other than that - coming along very nicely.
Thanks

First (beta test) release: version 0.1 ->
http://amaris-games.com/wp-content/uplo ... INGRAD.LST
Warning: this battle is not finish! So the difficulty and the balance is not set correctly for now.
This is a test to verify if the new models are not too complex and if the battle run fine on low or medium computer / Ipad. Please post here your feedback - thanks.

Thanks for the tip Pip !
Looking really good Amaris.
Just loaded the first mission and was panning around - has a good Stalingrad feel to it.
Will attempt to play sometime in the coming week.

Thx
I guess we need more rubble on street but as there are already a lot of objects (OBJECTCOUNT 3812) and some 3D models are heavily complex. I test on my Ipad Air and the game seems run fine.
Note:
- there is only one battle for now! Don't worry other is planning.
- the walls can be destroy by all units: this requires no move and one satchel charge.

Just played it for the first time it's a brutal map as I'm sure you intended even down to shelling your own troops my 1st attempt I got 1 flag with 6 units remaining I'm sure I'll do better next time keep up the good work it looks like this maps going to be a cracker when it's done

Yeah this battle is too brutal. And russians are too many. I was able to take the control of the rail station but not more.
Otherwise no slowdown?

Able to capture 3 flags by flanking wide right and left run out of time to capture the 4th will you be making multiplayer maps aswell as the single player ?
