Played this map yesterday. Winter maps I like, snowshowers even more, soldiers freezing if not close enough to a fire, true grit. Keep up the great work! :)

This is a great map, thank you and well done.

load me up with ammo men i'm going back to the front !

good creator, good maps, always good thank you Nebaka :)

This is the best looking map i´ve ever seen and i know a lot with 2000+ hours playtime but why the hell only 2 vs. 2?

Especially i love the super details like the T-34 on the ice with the wood below his tracks.

But can you please make a 6 or 8 player version?

@ Tigr Russophobe is a transliteration which you didnt understand because there is no translation and that guy shouldnt have used it. Its a combination of two words Russia and phobia. Russian grammar is different from english okay? What crimes, they probably say we invaded Ukraine or something on your television right? Grow up and stop watching TV.

Very, very good...

great map btw

Просто потому, что он не написано описание на русском языке, не делает ему русофоб.

Just because he's not written a description in Russian does not make him Russophobe.

- whats a russophbe? Putin came up with a new word to occupy the minds of Russians away from his crimes? Peopple are Russophobes now?

LOL get a grip on reality.

Спасибо за карту.

My respect!! This is one of the greatest self-made maps I 've seen so far. Good atmosphere with the moon and the snow, and very nice details in particular, and thank god finally a map with wrecked Russian Tanks, too. It's a bit boring that most people even the CoH designer decide to only place German tanks taken down in the maps. All in all, I appreciate maps that tell a story about what could have happend before. It's like an adventure to explore the map. I like the idea with the bridge and the train. This map was also greated for people who like tactical and strategic game experience! Good job!

Где описание на русском, русофоб?

I am always browsing through the new map releases, looking for gems. This map surprised me. My first impression was it had rather dull lighting effects. That was until I saw the first tank brew up on the frozen river. It was a spectacular sight on high graphic settings, with flames pouring out of the commander's hatch, casting a beautiful and ghastly glow over the bleak surroundings. A stark reminder of the horrors of war.

Generally I don't like community made river maps. They are often mirrored on both sides, and the river simply cuts the map in two with a few bridges and islands slap in the middle... and round or square islands too. No imagination at all and scarcely plausible.

Your map is the most interesting river map I have seen. It is plausible for a start, given the scale of COH2. And the curves of the frozen Dnepr are unique and make for some really interesting tactical choices.

The way you have used the worldbuilder assets is really thoughtful and unique. Objects weren't just slapped down to make it balanced. They were crafted. I almost felt like you weren't using the same assets most other map makers have access to. There are so many little details. And again it is all plausible and grounded in the reality of WW2. I have read three or four memoirs of German soldiers fighting on the Eastern Front lately, as well as watching a 17 part Russian documentary, so I appreciate the 'realism' I saw in this map immensely.

I enjoyed my first play through so much I had to play this map again immediately after.
Best river map in my opinion, and one of the very best winter maps. Thumbs and toes up.

For anyone interested, I was playing with the Spearhead Combat Overhaul mod. The slightly longer ranges and a bit more realistic ballistics suited this map scale perfectly.

PS You mentioned you were considering adding blizzards. I am not sure your map needs them, or if you do add them, perhaps make them quite short and/or rare. A lot of people seem to fed up with the blizzard mechanic and i think it can be overdone. The few patches of deep snow in your map are great. I had an elite squad camouflaged in the deep snow behind the church when a T-34 burst through a wooden fence and crushed them all. =P
