New Skirmish Maps

[Dreiundzwanzig]

I'm really disappointed about this Dlc. Every map have the same trenches at the same position, this make them very boring, but what i hate mostly at this dlc is that i played 1 map and found 2 big bugs. The Puma comes with only a two man crew and without ammo and you can't lay ap mines. Than i played the other missions but every one is a copy...... I wish me for the next Dlc's that they are more creative and nearly bug free.

Yea the puma has 20mm ammo in it? There is no one that would happen unless someone deliberately put it there. I am also disappointed at the lack of design. It is obvious that some mappers have talent so why not express that in differant ways on your maps like I do? Create a different shaped map with clips and try out different things. Do not overuse 1 design or people will find it stale extremely quick.

Those skirmish maps do offer enough gameplay (6+ players on heroic) to be worth $5. As for puma I have noticed this and this is why I always reload ammo from trucks that way u can have both he and ap. I already made few modifications to the maps but I am not sure we are allowed to release modified versions since this is dlc, I hope that is clarified in future, whether its possible to release mods for these skirmishes in form of advanced skirmishes that were done for original maps.

Oh and as for ap mines, I have no problems laying ap mines, sometimes if soldier(s) get blocked they will stop laying them and u have to reorder them to but I havent had any problems laying mines either at or ap.

When i lay down ap mines in the german skirmish my soldiers lay them but there where no mines-.-
Maybe you can send this modification to me? I have this Skirmish Dlc

I don't know what cost in time is needed to make those maps, but I become very disappointed with this dlc. This game is one of my favourites, and I buy the dlc inmediately when I see it in steam. I choose to start with the seelow heights with germany, and while I expect a bigger map and with more units to choose ( I hate the lack of variety on the reinforcements pool ) it was funny. The indignation comes when I choose to play the battle of kursk and notice the exactly same trenches, units etc.. I don't know who have the idea of change only the terrain of the map and sell this dlc with the exactly same mission with different country's and terrain.

I can expect those kinds of dlc's in games when there isn't any community making mods and new missions/maps all the time, but not in that case, with modders making new maps that in most cases are best that the ones of the dlc for free.

I love the men of war series and when another dlc become available probably I buy it if worth it, but ever after take a look at the forums for reviews.

PD : And please, make available more type of reinforcements, is a shame know that there are a lot of units in the game and only play when a few ones.

What is that patch for? Is that for a new cheats?

i saw the dlc in a preview and is liked the defence skirmish idea a lot but then i started playing it.....

all almost exactly the same, only real differences are the unit buildups and some building placements. also the ai is so stupid as the backside of a donkey, and then a hair of that. they just clutter at where they spawn, not spreading nor really attacking.
and then the bugs/little things, like the pumas wrong ammo spawn, is it really so difficult to play through what you made?
i hope that the next dlc is going to be better, shame that is has to come from the community and not from the devs itself

Maps look very nice and the mappers really show talent doing them. But I do agree about the same trench layout making it less fun

One other bug I found was the M3 troop carrier doesnt have the correct ammo on the kursk map. They could have spent some more time working out some different map layouts, but I liked the size and the enemy attacking from various directions. Anyway it is defintely worth the money,and worth supporting the company.

Yea I have to say I have been disappointed with the new Skirmish DLC. The maps vary very little and as people have said, the bunker and flag layout is exactly the same. I feel that there are 5 maps, yet playing 1 is like playing the other 4 albeit with a different faction. Atleast with the other Skirmish there was nice detailing of bunkers or urban areas that changed the player tactics. I honestly feel that some player mods have been more refreshing than these DLC Skirmishes. Ozka your own defence based skirmish is of a better quality. I have had fun with the DLC, but I expected more variety. The enemy AI doesnt seem to cope too well with attacking either. I felt the MoW factory defence mission from the original campaign was amazing, these feel like a step backward in terms of map design and creativity.

The first time you play the new skirmish is pretty good and fun. But you load a next defensive mission and you get disappointed and even angry because the previous BIGGEST criticism about the skirmish missions seems to have been totally ignored. Previous titles gave us lots of variety and it is a shame AS still continues to disappoint in that respect.
