Campaign Practise event:  Castle Volkenstein



”It was a foul night. In fact, it was the foulest of foul nights. I still remember it like it was yesterday – High Command had learnt of a german secret weapon being close to completion in some hellish underground bunker labaratory. And they had picked the most bizarre and cruel of places to hide it as well – somewhere under Castle Volkenstein.

We were outnumbered 1 to 10. They hated us. We felt nothing for them. For they were less than human, nameless horrors spawning out of nothing, they wielded their weapons against us and fought us without concern for their own life or the unspoken agreements of war between men. Where we would show mercy – they would show none. Most of them are in hell now, but to this day I have never forgiven whatever madmen that commanded the axis forces at Castle Volkstein – for they commited grave sin, not only against us but against humanity as a whole.  Their tactics unforgivable – their hatred without comparison and their ferocity a passion for killing reaching a height which the devil himself has no name for.

That night we lost some good men – men that never will be back from the dead. We thought we were going to hit the germans unprepared – but they knew we were coming.  Sergeant Wilson – First Lieutnant Sparrowburgh – Private Jay Racoon. Those are the names that still burn in my mind up to this day. Their lives were spent – spent for freedom trying to unravel the secrets of Castle Volkenstein and win the war. The events of those horrid 12 hours will never leave my memory or be tarnished by time – they will burn bright and horrible until the day I die.”
- WW2 Vet. Colonel Charles Evergriefed

Castle Volkenstein is a 1 game fictive campaign practise event where elite allied attackers attempt to overcome one of the most mysterious axis installations ever known to have existed in WW2. It’s history and function, and the tales of that gruesome night is the most hushed down piece of historic evidence for war crimes on both sides.

Allied commando, airborne and halftrack deployed Ranger special ops were sent in never before-fielded numbers to overcome a grave threat to the allied victory in the war. Standing against them were a horde of fanatic madmen SS troops from the 75th Defensive Propaganda-truppe, the biggest concentration of Knight’s cross holders ever seen in one battle and a horde of drugged up volksgrenadier conscripts and stormtroopers completely dedicated to one thing – holding Castle Volkenstein and stopping the allies from interfering with the last preparations for unleashment of the V3 rocket – the only atomic ground to ground missile system the Axis ever came close to finalizing during WW2.

Company levels is a issue before discussed.

The way I see it being solved is either:

A) companies made for the game (requires help of sql guys)
B) players just building their companies around the rules on their own and we sticking to the "average levels per team" thing so everyone can sign up

There should be enough level 9 companies for this type of event. If sql access is possible from our gracious moderators and other parts of the development team, we will use them to help people wit companies that are too low level.

Im also contacting the devs/sql guys about 2 special axis units being present on this campaign. That will require a patch however, and it's not sure it will be possible.
