RUSSIAN CIVIL WAR II - Multiplayer "User vs AI" Campaign

[Double_Deuce]

I inadvertently started this thread in the winSPMBT section so I am reposting it here where it belongs. :doh:

I have started this new thread so we have a single place to post for the actual campaign. For those only "kinda" following along this is basically a group operational level game where each player takes the role of a commander and will play their "unit's role" through custom User Campaign's designed specifically for their unit.

For more information please refer to and read through this thread;

Next, here is the draft campaign overview;

RUSSIAN CIVIL WAR II**

April - May 1930.**

The Russian Civil War basically ended with the surrender of General Anatoly Pepelyayev and his White forces in the Far Eastern Ayano-Maysky District on June 1923. As the Red Army slowly pushed the Whites out of Siberia many commanders made their escape, along with a good portion of the men to safe haven among the US and British possession in the Pacific. Many more were given refuge in northern Japan where they continued to be armed and trained for their eventual return to the Russian mainland. The regions of Kamchatka and Northern Sakhalin remained under Japanese occupation until their treaty with the Soviet Union in 1925, when their forces were finally withdrawn, however the Japanese continued to eye the region for future conquest.**

It was with the onset of the Great Depression in 1929 that the opportunity finally started to present itself for a return of the White army. The Pitelinskii Uprising in January 1930 and increasing peasant revolts against forced collectivism only encouraged the Japanese to push the Whites harder. Hoping that the Red Army would be too occupied in eastern Europe to do anything this far east the Japanese prodded the Whites to act. **

In late March, 1930 act they did and a large army of White veterans boarded vessels supplied by the Japanese and were successfully landed at Okhotsk along the northern coast of the Sea of Okhotsk. As they quickly overwhelmed the small Red army garrisons in the area their beachhead expanded considerably. In less that 2 weeks they had occupied an area over 100 square kilometers reaching 100 kilometers to the north near Arka, 70 kilometers to to the west at Zapadnyy and 65 kilometers to the east at Ul'beya. Not wanting to be left out of any of the spoils, Japan, the United States and Great Britain quickly dispatched their own forces from nearby bases to "support" the effort in the hopes they could cash in on the considerable resources in the area the Whites had already overrun.**

Slowly the Red Army responded and the first available forces were dispatched by train from bases in central Siberia. Unfortunately, these were essentially small units recruited as personal bodyguards of former Red Army officers who were now nothing more than warlords that kept the peace in their local areas. They were the first to arrive and confront the Whites with promises from the Politburo that more heavily armed and better trained Red Army units would soon follow to finish the job.**

As one of these "warlords" you quickly organize your men and arrange travel to the east by train. You should be in the area assigned to you no later than April 3rd, 1930 and are expected to take up the attack within a day or 2 of arrival, if not sooner. To make sure you do your duty to the state a Commissar and his aide have been assigned to you.**

SPECIAL CAMPAIGN NOTES: **

THE COMMISSAR: The Commissar, his aide and a staff car will accompany your unit everywhere you go. Should you find ways to put the Commissar in position to get "Kills" and thus increase his standing as a true Hero of the Red Army he will make sure that he heaps added praise of your loyalty to the state in his reports to the Regional Commissar. Thus you can expect that you and your men will be given special attention when supplies are issued. This could mean critical access to armor or air support if in the area as well as recruitment of local troops to bolster your ranks. However, if the Commissar unit is killed you can expect to be punished heavily. The exact punishment depends on the whims of the Regional Commissar and could range anywhere from withholding of supplies, being ordered to make attacks you have little if any chance of winning, or even surviving and so on. Basically this means it is in your interest to put the Commissar in position to get easy "Kills" BUT not get him killed in the process.**

OK, here we go;

Attached is the campaign path for Brian61.

Comrade, the train carrying you and your men from your garrison in central Siberia can go no further without risking the safety of the trains due to enemy activity. You are being offloaded with your supplies here at the village of Arka.**

Once you and you men are accounted for, you are ordered to proceed with your force to the railroad bridge east of here where it crosses the River Okhota. Local peasants in the area have informed us that Interventionist forces have advanced farther north than we anticipated since they landed the other week at Okhotsk and are currently setting up defenses in this area. You should reach the river just after dawn however be advised that visibility will be limited due to early morning fog. Once you arrive at the bridge you need to cross the river and secure the bridge as well as the railway leading south as that will be the main route of our northern forces advance. Without the rail in our hands, supplies will be severely restricted as we advance.**

Next up . .

Attached is the campaign path for Skirmisher.

Comrade, now that you and you men are rested, you are ordered to march along the coastal road to Zapadnyy and occupy the village. The village needs to be cleaned out of all opposition as we intend to use it as a staging area to launch further attacks from here in the west. As you attack, Comrade Roman will be clearing the woods north of your position in an attempt to sweep behind the village and cut off the fleeing enemy.**

Local peasants, loyal to the state have reported that the enemy appears to be digging in and preparing to fortify the area. They have also reported seeing enemy aircraft overhead earlier in the day but it is highly unlikely they will be operating at night. Speed is of the essence here.** This zip file includes the base campaign frame as well as the 1st full scenario. Install files into your campaign folder. It will occupy campaign slot 042.

And the 3rd commander . .

Attached is the campaign path for Roman.

We have just been informed by runner that Comrade Skirmisher will begin his assault on Zapadnyy just after midnight. It is time to rouse your men and begin the advance. You are to sweep east, clearing a path through the woods north of Zapadnyy so that our forces can then sweep around and seal off any retreating White forces as they try to escape from the village.**

Local peasants, loyal to the state have reported hearing engines coming from the woods along your route so be on the lookout for vehicles. The path through the woods must be cleared of any enemy forces.**

[Brian61]

Comrades, the bridge and the railroad have been secured and the Interventionists in the area destroyed. The price was paid in the blood of a few comrades including one of our snipers. Our Commissar, Lt Fierens, was quite brave at the end, assisting in the destruction of the enemy HQ and a weapons crew, unfortunately his weapon was not equal to his bravery and other units nearby were credited with the kills.:doh:

Quite a fun first battle, I was worried everyone would rout at the first shot but fortunately those that did rout were able to be rallied despite my poor rally skills (60!!).

Last turn before end result attached as zip.

OK firstly, I enjoyed the battle.

Secondly, once the battle started and I saw 1930 combat power in all it's glory,I decided to play the wildcard.
I was going to get a kill credited to the Commissar.
I needed the extra help in the long run.

The battle begins and right away one of my Cossak platoons is caught in a crossfire between two snipers.
The rest of the Cossaks and HMG's took them out.
Mortars didn't seem all that effective.

The battle moves into the town proper and there's an HMG,scouts
and several squads of conscripts IDed.

Victory hexes are taken and the scout section of the enemy is down to one man.
The Commissar's driver hits the gas and heads for the secure hex right next to the last scout(who has used all shots for the turn)
An unseen scout section opens up from in town after a couple hexes and the staff car is destroyed.
Marines cover the pinned Commissar with smoke and on the next turn he attacks the scout.
I had turned OFF everybody elses weapons nearby, so they couldn't fire on the scouts.
After two turns of this, the Scout killed the Commissar and the aide.:eek:

Despite this, the attack continued and much of the town taken.

I emailed the final turn.

Hello. And got the files. I played the first mission. I had major losses but the enemy was worse than me. Even killed their HQ. The brave Cossacks deserve a medal.

[Roman]

I had a problem. I was holding the turns until turn 7. Then I got tired and hoped to complete the turn 14. But after 14 turn ended the game. Bone had to do all over again on turn 7. I took more objectives but I lost my sniper and mortar that had not previously lost. :(

Man, THAT was some really bad luck, i guess i'm using my comissar as an FO

[Double_Deuce]

And now for the 4th commander . .

Attached is the campaign path for iCaMpWiThAWP.

Comrade, your forces have passed through Ul'beya and are approaching the objective area. It is imperative that you successfully defend the farmhouse and bridge to stop the enemy's advance as it will be several days until reinforcements from Kamchatka will start to arrive. Until then, you are on your own.**

Based on the speed of the enemy's advance we expect their lead elements to arrive at the bridge sometime around noon. Local peasants have also reported seeing Interventionist ships patrolling along the coast. It is possible that they will shell your position before they launch any ground attack. Unfortunately the peasants have not been so attentive to the makeup of the enemy's ground forces.**

[iCaMpWiThAWP]

Loyal troopers advanced into the farm and secured the areas around the bridge, lake, and northern stream, an enemy light probe soon followed, with cavalry through the woods, motorcycles supported by a machinegun on the road, and a platoon trying to flank our force on the south. The commissar served as artillery spotter, when the MG was discovered, i tried to retreat him and the staff car into the staging area, but a hidden unit opened fire killing the driver and the commissar's aide.
FA-I armored car proved invaluable in the battle, supressing the enemy units without any return fire. More of these units could be commited to great success.
White forces Destroyer fired without any accuracy, but scared some nearby troopers.
We count 11 of our men killed, with estimated 80 to 90 enemy killed or wounded.
All enemy were routed off the map, killed or captured. We may have an opportunity to keep striking them should they fail to regain organization.


I lost a few man for stupid reasons, such as moving a scout team near the bridge, and coming under fire from a squad and a machinegun.:doh:

To make an operational map from this map would have to invent the woods.
Although you can make the map with the game editor. The map is 6.22 km x 900 meters. Bone that would be 121 for 9 or 10 hexes.
Is that correct?

Maybe this will help give an idea of where each unit is, and where they have moved (I would recommend the Satellite view with Terrain enabled).

Also, just to give an idea of the time frame, each turn (time between battles) is about 3-4 days. So 2 about battles, per week.

i tried to retreat him and the staff car into the staging area, but a hidden unit opened fire killing the driver and the commissar's aide.
FA-I armored car proved invaluable in the battle, supressing the enemy units without any return fire.





The Commissar survived ,that's good.

In retrospect,I should have invested in an armored car,or cars.

I'll say I want to add them at this point,but complete radio silence from Command has me abit worried. They probably aren't looking upon my command favorably at this point.

Am I about to be thrown into a meatgrinder?

Will I be shadowed no more by Commissar's?

Will another appear to replace the last one?

[Double_Deuce]

Working on the next set, about 1/2 way done. The scenario's I can pump out and test in about 30-45 minutes but its the text briefing file that takes me the longest to put together. :(

OH, and by the way. If your A0 unit gets KIA'ed, you are out of the campaign so if it comes down to it, feel free to use the Commissar as a human shield. :cool:

Also, for those following along I am updating the Google Map of the Campaign as I go along building the scenarios so you might occasionally get a sneak peak on what is headed your way.

In order that you recieved the first battle back.

Comrade Skirmisher, your next mission in the campaign is attached . . .
Comrade, although the loss of the Commissar was a blow to our country his replacement has arrived in time for the next mission. As your men were unable to finish the job the other night, the enemy was able to withdraw in good order and has been slowly moving back towards the safety of Tsentral'nyy. You must press the attack and run the White dogs down, clearing the road to Tsentral'nyy and the area around Alexseev's farm.**

The attack will take place sometime after noon in the hopes that you can catch them on the open road as they evacuate their supply and munitions wagons. The weather is expected to be clear. The destruction of the supply and munition wagons is critical. As you advance, Comrade Roman will be attempting to cut off their western army's escape route along the Tsentral'nyy - Chil'Chikan Causeway.**

Comrade Roman, your next mission in the campaign is attached . . .
Having penetrated the enemy's right flank north of Zapadnyy, you have been ordered to drive northeast and sweep in towards the coast to close the enemy's route of retreat along the Tsentral'nyy - Chil'Chikan Causeway. Once you reach the causeway you are to continue pushing southwest and clear the road and the Tsentral'nyy - Chil'Chikan Railway of any advancing enemy.**

Although Comrade Skirmisher failed to destroy the enemy at Zapadnyy he did manage to inflict enough damage to force them to withdraw towards Tsentral'nyy. This means that you can expect a large force moving your way as they fall back towards Chil'Chikan.**

Now the time has come to counterattack and drive them back towards Partizanskiy however there is a choke point where they may be able to easily stop you. You will need to clear this area and make sure to way is open along the Partizanskiy - Ul'beya coastal roadway.**

Maybe if you focused on one player at a time, it would be less of a burden.

In order that you recieved the first battle back.

That way,you wouldn't need to account for all the text, all at once.I may try to stagger the battles a little, like you mentioned, working on them as they are posted. I think I can work on 2 as the other 2 are posted and being played. The problem is the battles are pretty small so while I can whip them out quicker, you guys also plow through them quicker. :D

Right now I think I'm going to aim for a 1 week turnaround time from the time you post/email me the results of your battle till the next scenario for that player is posted.

[Roman]

Done. My battle is over. Nothing remained of the enemy. I killed everything. Their heavy weapons and their headquarters. Cossacks again showed their worth.

[Skirmisher]

Comrade Skirmisher, your next mission in the campaign is attached . . .
Comrade, although the loss of the Commissar was a blow to our country his replacement has arrived in time for the next mission. As your men were unable to finish the job the other night, the enemy was able to withdraw in good order and has been slowly moving back towards the safety of Tsentral'nyy. You must press the attack and run the White dogs down, clearing the road to Tsentral'nyy and the area around Alexseev's farm.**

The attack will take place sometime after noon in the hopes that you can catch them on the open road as they evacuate their supply and munitions wagons. The weather is expected to be clear. The destruction of the supply and munition wagons is critical. As you advance, Comrade Roman will be attempting to cut off their western army's escape route along the Tsentral'nyy - Chil'Chikan Causeway.**

Failure here is, well, unacceptable.**Mission #02


Things started rather badly. The supply officer has informed me that my request for armored cars has been denied.
Then he tells me I have a few handfulls of points to repair my tattered forces. :smirk:

A new maxum HMG is purchased,one Cossak platoon is brought up to full strength.

As soon as the battle starts I see enemy units on the road just ahead. The new HMG unit opens up on an enemy squad.
The combined return fire from 4 or 5 units kills most of the HMG unit and the rest flee. Easy come,easy go.

We push the enemy as ordered and at the end of the day mission accomplished. We lost a decent amount of men from various other units. None were destroyed but most,if not all where weakened.

At least we didn't fail,and the new Commissar is intact.
He spent the afternoon calling in mortar strikes.

Final turn files sent.

[iCaMpWiThAWP]

iCaMpWiThAWP and Brian61 have you finished your battles? I have Roman and Skirmishers files.

Quick-played through mine:
Decided to avoid excessive losses, so i started with a platoon in the trench area, wich quickly turned into a confused melee, with me taking the "fort" without many losses.
then i used pack mules crews to capture the flags by the railroad.
tried to advance along the road with a platoon, but was met by british tanks and retread back into the fortified position, wich later proved decive winning the battle, as a platoon of marines tried to clear the road it blocked.
Japanese elite scouts scared me off the northern part of the map, nothing other than a little firefight with these same troopers there against a scout of mine wich retreated.
Late game AI counterattack didn't surprise me, i had decided to defend what ground i had 2 turns earlier, due to lack of heavy weapons to support the advance, but still was flanked by cavalry and had to divide the force, losing 2 flags because of that.
Battle turned bloody for the Whites, they stopped our advance, but learned that they can't swim against the red tide!
The comissar shot up a few units without destroying any of them during the counterattack, i tried retreating him into the woods but again, was caught by MG fire and the driver and his aide got killed, we're running low on drivers here.;)

BTW-Battle results may slightly vary from mine, as last turn AI is very active, and may end with 2 british tanks killed, or a platoon of my men routed.

Another from the players if I may. I've been trying to test out the AI (mainly my pathing and waypoint usage) before zipping and sending you the scenario files. If you have any feedback on how the "AI" seems to be acting (with my programmed waypoints, etc) in your battles I would be interested to hear. Please note, not all of them are intended to be balanced but, are they challenging and feel like they fit the part in a bigger story. ;)

It's hard to judge waypoint movement on a smaller map,but
my battles so far have been good.

In the last one for awhile I was worried. The words "failure is unaceptable" rang in my ears and I was losing combat power to
enemy attacks here and there. I probably could have bought a better core to.

The first battle was harder than the second. I'm thinking why....:re:
I already thought something. I do not know whether to tell you :confused:.... since it complicates my tactics;).
Well, I say. In the two battles I used my Cossacks to flank the enemy. In the second battle my Cossacks found less resistance, because most of the enemy forces attacked the center. :horse:

[iCaMpWiThAWP]

In my first battle the AI tried to flank me from both sides AND pushed the center. So this is a classical AI attack, throw whatever they got at me.

In the second battle the AI held it's ground for some turns and counterattacked the turn after i lost momentum. So there may be some waipointing in there...

In the first battle I didn't see any counter-attack or enemy movement (other than retreat/rout). I think though that this might have been due to the spoiling attack I launched south of the bridge across the river (hey, they're marines! :) ) under the supporting fire of my HMGs sitting in good overwatch positions.

The second battle, given the time constraints and very poor los along the railway, there was no other choice than a slow frontal attack along the railroad behind a walking barrage. There was a late counter-attack launched which included cavalry units from the north. They ran into my light screen of scouts and snipers reinforced by my FT engineer squad. As there were no VHs at risk, I mostly just retreated before the counter-attack and let it burn itself out against opfire on the advance.

Generally I don't care for infantry battles where time constraints are such that you need to advance more than one hex per turn. This is especially true when the terrain prevents long range support fire from mg's and los is such that overwatch and advance by bounds is problematic. I found this to be the case in the second battle, and, especially since I knew replacement troops would be hard to find, opted to fight very conservatively ignoring half the VHs in favor of force preservation.

Just as a side note, it is very hard to do railroads realistically in the map editor. Elevation changes and turns are very gradual on the main lines, los should be clear down a railroad bed to the limits of visibility barring obstruction by wreckage or smoke. Its a bit more relaxed with narrow gauge 'mining' railroads but even they are, in comparison to roads, very flat and slow turning. Outside of railway yards (where very slow speeds and short trains are the norm) and sidetracks (very slow speeds), its pretty much impossible to model a railroad turn on a sp map.

Hope this helps,
Brian

Comrade iCaMpWiThAWP, your next mission in the campaign is attached . . .
Comrade, the loss of your Commissar was tragic. His loss seems to have demoralized your men and given hope to the enemy. At this moment it seems that they have been inspired enough to counterattack your forces under cover of darkness. **

You will need to hold onto the objectives you have now, beat back the enemy's advance and launch your own counterattack. A new Commissar has been assigned to insure you stay focused on finishing the task of clearing the Partizanskiy - Ul'beya coastal roadway as you were originally ordered.**

It is nighttime and a light fog has rolled in from the sea. Visibility will be extremely limited.**

This time, my tactic did not work. The enemy was well positioned. They had two snipers that ruined everything. I also got marginal defeat.

[iCaMpWiThAWP]

Marginal victory, started counterattacking by turn 9 or 10, Platoon holding the fort lost their MG and ran critically low on rifle ammo.
FA-I armored car used to great success in the defense and the counterattack, capturing 2 v-hexes along the railroad.
Commissar was probably a little bored, but at least enjoyed watching my scouts and engineers rout a flanking platoon of cavalry :)

Since RL has settled down somewhat from last year I am considering starting up another one of these type games. Nothing massive, or too complicated, probably company sized commands again and sticking with the WinSPWW2 engine because I think that version lends itself better to this game setup that WinSPMBT (not the differences in the games but in the force technology limitations).

If anyone is interested please post ideas, recommendations and/or preferences such as theater or time frame.
