Army Group North - 4 Player Coop Campaign (Updated 04.09.2024)

Description
Beta Version 0.9.1 (Latest Update on 04/09/2024).
Updated & rebalanced - 10th map added - Sinyavino Heights.

Coop campaign for 1-4 players (recommended to play at least 2 players)
Also recommended to play with Fog Of War on/realistic, it sort of defeats the purpose if you don't.
AGN = Army Group North

Recommended to host a Multiplayer/coop lobby to be able to properly play the missions. Even if you plan to play it alone/as Singleplayer as the missions' scripts are made for COOP and might not properly work if you launch the missions via the Singleplayer campaign/missions.

About:
The Campaign of the German AGN. At the moment covers their first proper battle at Raseiniai to the siege of Leningrad / St Petersburg and the Russian counter-offensive of late 1941 and early 1942. The aim is to eventually cover their entire story/campaign that ultimately leads to their defense of the Courland Pocket. More missions will be added in the near future.

1st Map - Battle of Raseiniai.
The first proper resistance from the Soviets during the German Baltic Campaign.
The Germans were up for a surprise when the Soviets sent in their latest technological achievement in warfare.

2nd Map - Race to Daugava.
The Germans are racing to cross the Daugava river (also called Dvina river nowadays) in an attempt to trap & encircle Soviet army formations in the Courland pocket.

3rd Map - At the Gates of Leningrad.
AGN reached the outskirts & suburbs of Leningrad and initiated their attack on the Soviet defensive positions.

4th Map - The Bastion.
AGN arrives at the shores of lake Ladoga at the mouth of the Neva river. They are tasked to capture the last Soviet Stronghold on the south bank of the Neva so that the southern encirclement of St Peterburg / Leningrad can be completed.

5th Map - Tikhvin Offensive.
AGN arrives on the outskirts of Tikhvin, an important Soviet railroad hub that supplies St Peterburg with most of its supplies. This town & its train station is the key objective of the offensive eastwards for AGN. Once captured the Germans plan to swing north to meet up with the Fins at the Svir river.

6th Map - The Neva Pocket.
AGN is digging in along the Neva after the Fuhrer's directive "St Petersburg needs to be erased from the face of the Earth". A small pocket on the North bank of the Neva is trying to fortify their position when something happens that causes a disruption.

7th Map - The Breach.
The Soviets have been attacking the Volkhov and Neva river for days. The Germans are under immense pressure and a breach in the German defensive line around the Lyuban sector is becoming inevitable.

8th Map - Infiltration.
Soviets broke through the Volkhov defenses. The Germans are planning an offensive Operation to rectify the situation. German infiltration units have been sent behind the Soviet lines to increase the operational success of the pending German offensive.

9th map - Operation Raubtier
Since the breakthrough in the Volkhov sector by the Soviet 2nd Shock Army, they have managed to create a pocket on the German side of the Volkhov river. The Germans executed their Operation Raubtier in an attempt to close the gap and encircle the Volkhov Pocket. After days of bloody fighting in heavy winter condition, the Germans plan to launch their final pincer to close the gap and encircle the pocket.

10th map - Sinyavino Heights
The Germans planned to launch their operation to capture Leningrad, named Operation Nordlicht. It was suppose to be launched simultaneously with the attack on Stalingrad as to confuse the Soviets. The Germans built up troops & supplies in the area. But then on the 19th of August, the Soviets initiated their offensive from the Neva front, and then on the 27th a bigger offensive from the Volkov front. This caused the Germans to redirect their troops from Operation Nordlicht to the Defense of the German lines.

No Mods required (only used normal/Vanilla GoH assets & units).
Unsure about the compatibility of mods, try at your own risk.

All DLC's required (Talvisota, Scorched earth & Liberation) to play this as I used assets from these.

Please leave feedback, good or bad, happy to hear if you enjoyed it or encountered issues/bugs.
Or just general feedback how it can be made more enjoyable.

P.S
The missions can be demanding on your PC as I have simulated fairly large battles as the missions are made for 4 players.
And take care of your units so that you do not waste them carelessly, the missions can be quite difficult for the untrained commander.

Close to midnight:
I also dabbled a bit with Hotmod68 & subsequent submods (81, etc).
I created a new 4 player Coop Campaign with these mods (+ some other sub mods) that is focusing on the cold war.
Starting in Vietnam in 1968 and eventually going to the 80s.

After revising the old maps & missions I will work on the next mission for this campaign as I just finished the newest mission to my American campaign. Hoping summer period will come with less work in my actual life so that I can spend time on this. :D

@everyone: Thank you for the feedback and comments. I will now spend some time re-vising old missions & optimizing them, plus looking into potential bugs that are reported by your guys. But just keep in mind, if you report a bug (blue skins, crashed, etc) it is important for me to know if you have other mods on as that can interfere. I will still investigate, but it would help my troubleshooting to have all background information.

I've fought off all enemies in the Neva Pocket mission, but then the mission doesn't progress. It shows that I still haven't completed defending the east and west 1st defensive lines even though I've killed everyon.

@Septimus as regards the other missions, they work just fine. Maybe they lag a little bit when started but I don't think is something you can do anything about. As you know, the game usually lags. By the way, I swear that last time I started the missions some crashed. Maybe some mods entered in conflict with yours. I don't know. I'm happy everything works now. Only the blue skin is an issue, now.
