I am reasonably confident that we have the meta-SEOW functionality working reliably with Iron Front now, so I am moving rapidly towards establishing the Zhitomir scenario. The OOB is complex and scaled, so I will handle that myself. However I will ask German and Soviet commanders to place their own units themselves, subject to various limitations and prescriptions.

But we need commanders! The 2014 Korosten lineup was:

Axis
Armwaar: Sicherungs Regiment 375, Reserve-Grenadier-Regiment 212, Luftflotte 4
Ikey: Kampfgruppe Zwiahel
Scannon: 1 SS Panzer LSSAH
Faustnik: Pionier-Batallion 70
Emil: 1 Panzer
Warg: 7 Panzer
Charlie: Korps Abteilung C
Subg: 291 Infanterie

Brandle: Official Observer
Kopfdorfer: Official Observer


Allied
4Shades: 77 Rifle Corps (including 162 Tank Brigade), 2nd Air Army
Badger: 30 Rifle Corps
Hawk_5: 24 Rifle Corps (including 111 Tank Brigade)
Luny: 18 Guards Rifle Corps

Devill: Official Observer
Petr: Official Observer

Sadly, Hawk_5 is no longer with us, and I have not heard from Petr, Devill, Subg and Armwaar in a long time. Ikey may be on leave for the next month or two as well. Nevertheless, I am hopeful that we can get at least 6 regular commanders for Zhitomir - new participants are welcome. Missions will be held each weekend at an agreeable time, and I anticipate that we will run 1 IL2 mission plus 1 or 2 Iron Front missions each week.

Like the Korosten campaign, there will be air operations (within IL2), but at a low level of intensity and with a ground support profile. This is predominantly an infantry-dominated ground campaign with a historical force ratio based on the best data we have on the opposing forces present in the Zhitomir area at the time (late-December 1943). The focus here is on atmosphere, detail, difficult choices, and shared experiences. This is not a tournament, and there is no concept of balance or fairness.

Please register your interest in this thread and I will compile a list of commanders here in the message.

I look forward to welcoming old friends back, and making some new friends.

Cheers,

I'm in, i'm going to purchase Arma 2 CO and ironfront for the price of a bad bottle of wine. (discount until 1 december)
It will last longer and the resulting headaches should be more pleasant

Any side is fine, you can flip a coin if needed

Very good thinking Greykitten!

I'm in.
Either side is fine.

Kopfdorfer

I'm in.

Sides don't matter, but gimme some...panzer vorwärts!

Justus added to the list!

I am away this weekend.

Charlie added!

Hi, I'd like to join in wherever there is space or need.

You're added Tanker!

Count me in, please.
Still no rig, but I'll try to find the way how to plan out.

Thanks, 4S

Glad to see old faces around.

The Zhitomir OOB is now placed and is being tweaked to inter-operate with the Korosten remnants. This means that we are pretty close to commencing. At the same time we have 11 confirmed commanders, so I think we are in good shape.

Count me in and put me where ever you need me.

Badger

Thanks Badger, you're in.

I got a PM from 4S with this SEOW Christmas present and I'd like to join in wherever needed. Although, I am so rusty I may be the "Italy" of this alliance.
