(Timestamps below). Graviteam's Pivot Point DLC transports us to the eastern-most point that the Wehrmacht ever advanced into the Soviet Union. Set in mid-December, 1942- the same time that General Paulus' 6th Army was encircled at Stalingrad- the Red Army prepares the offensive to drive back the Germans from the oil fields of the Caucasus, once and for all. The first part of this play-through covers the first 5 turns and is jammed packed with gameplay tips, historical information and documents, as well as cinematic battles. It is my pleasure to present it to you, and I hope you enjoy it. Graviteam Tactics: Mius-Front is a great sim.

I started playing and learning about games focused on the eastern front about 10 years ago with CoH 2, then I moved to Men of war for a little bit more of realism, then it was Gates of Hell, recently I started playing Steel Division looking for even more immersion, now I found Mius-Front and my mind blew up, I'm eager to see more videos from you, I wanna learn how to play this and do it by myself, the ultimate immersive strategy-tactical game of the eastern front, awesome content! Keep it up

@sirhurl 2 года назад

Sd.Kfz. stand for: "Sonderkraftfahrzeug" (Special motorized vehicle). Also in germany we call them "Halbkettenfahrzeug" (halftrack vehicle) or "Leichter Schützenpanzerwagen" (light infantry armored car). Most of the wargamers in germany just say "Halbkette" (halftrack). :-)

@TheWarSimmer 2 года назад

Half-track it is!

@themigmadmarine 2 года назад

@@TheWarSimmer You can also use "Schutzenpanzerwagon" (literally protective armored vehicle, shortened to SPW) which is essentially the German equivalent of "APC". For proper designations, that shorter type of halftrack with 5 sets of road wheels per side is an "Sd.Kfz. 250". The longer ones with seven sets of wheels is a Sd.Kfz. 251. Each different configuration (radio command, mortar carrier, AT gun carrier etc) recieves a /number to denote configuration, for example the Sd.Kfz 250/10 has the 37 mm pak gun in place of the machine gun, but all of that is getting quite deep into the weeds.

@monfort537 2 года назад

By far the best Graviteam content on RU-vid in my opinion. I like and hate the game to almost the same degree. It creates intense immersion, but on the other hand, the UI and order system is often extremely awkward. For instance, at 31:43: The feedback of the UI is awful. If you work with modifiers, you always have to track the sequence of orders in your brain. If you mess things up, you have to create the entire chain again. Even more worse is the case when you do not know that you mess things up because the UI doesn't track all things. Some kind of List with all orders of a chain would be awesome where you can change stuff in case the sequence haven't already started.

@TheWarSimmer 2 года назад

Agreed. And for some reason, for myself, I cannot even delay orders unless I begin holding the shift key first. All other chained orders, you don't hold shift until after the first order.

@jeffjensen8 2 года назад

Somehow I missed this for almost a week - great video as always! One of these days, I'd like to see a video going over the battlegroup setup ( 5:07 to 11:27 in this video) explaining how everything works and why you might want to make certain choices for certain situations. I typically just go down the list choosing "anti-infantry" or "anti-tank" - which ever is most applicable, though I feel like I'm just doing something because I was told to, not because I understand it. I should probably read the game manual some day, but if I can get a wonderfully created video instead...! :) Also, I see there's a new DLC (Operation Victory) which released on the same day of this video, which is an operation in the war between Iraq and Iran in 1980! That might be an interesting one to cover in the future!

@yanzavhorodniy1231 Год назад

Good to know the bit at 1:01:41 about how rush attacks can only be carried out by mechanized and armoured BGs because I recently got rushed and lost one of my two companies, all 6 AT guns, most of my MGs and all of my mortars because I didn't know there would be armour attacking me lol. This practically destroyed my flank and the Soviets still have 5 tanks to play around with.

@EyeOfUltraSol 2 года назад

Those light armoured half tracks you fought were Sd.Kfz. 250 (the standard ones with the MG) and Sd.Kfz 250/10 (the ones with a 37mm AT gun). The term "Sd.Kfz" is an abbreviation of Sonderkraftfahrzeug meaning "special purpose vehicle" and was used in combination with a number as an inventory designation. All German vehicles had an Sd.Kfz. number, for example the Panzer IV was the Sd.Kfz 161, the Panther was the Sd.Kfz. 171 etc. Great video by the way!

@TheWarSimmer 2 года назад

Thank you. It's something that has never been clear to me. I know that some of the halftracks have different guns, but is there a good "standard" term for those type specifically? Would "half-tracks" suffice?

@EyeOfUltraSol 2 года назад

@@TheWarSimmer Honestly, I just use gerneral terms like "half-track", or "german half-track", even when talking about them with people I know who are into the topic. I sometimes say "250" or "251" when I really need to be specific between the light and medium german half-tracks, but I think using general terms like "half-tracks" is perfectly fine and also doesn't leave anyone new to WW2 history in the dark.

@karlhungus545 Год назад

Your videos are awesome. This though is what makes this game so daunting to get into. I start a battle in the campaign and just get totally overwhelmed by the number of units I have to figure out what to do with and find on the map. Also, when troops get tired, do they automatically rest a bit, or do you need to intervene? Also, a 'zero-in point' for arty is the same as a TRP in Combat Mission, correct?

@j.e.v.5016 2 года назад

Notice that Line of sight map has multiple options. You're looking things from vehicle perspective aka higher from the ground. Right-click it and you can get standing man and crawling man perspective. I think this might be the issue.

@Whaheyyy 2 года назад

One consideration I have when playing is, would the reserve support units actually be available for the operation? Or should they be treated as general reserves that are allocated to regiment, or division, that may or may not be freely available. I will often therefore not assign support deliberately as I feel like it may not have been so easy to just assign them in real life. Furthermore doing things like replacing 1st coy units with 8th coy units as platoons take casualties/lose combat effectiveness, the same reasoning might apply. Does anyone have opinions on this, what is/is not appropriate given the context/tactical constraints of these operations?

@Leader1623 2 года назад

What are the arrows flying between units on the battle map?

@TheWarSimmer 2 года назад

This is the command chain. The arrows go from higher to lower level. During the deployment stage, the entire "on-paper" chain of command is displayed. During the engagement stage, it shifts to only showing those portions of the chain that are currently able to communicate with one another- be it through voice range, radio, or wire comms. It's particularly useful for automatic arty spotting.

@gcgrabodan 2 года назад

At 7:26: How can you assign 1 MG Squad to 3 different platoons? The reserve system is really weird :(

@arkadiy9321 2 года назад

It’s not the assignment yet - it’s the request for the assignment. So you can request what you please, but since there is only one MG squad, only only platoon will end getting it, and we don’t know which:)

@arkadiy9321 2 года назад

As far as radio, “limited” means the range is limited. One-way radios are marked as “half-duplex” and are red. Actually, reading the manual, “limited and blue” is listed as “needing to stop”, but seeing how M4 mediums communicate on the move in the game (as they should - the range increases when stationary, but it’s more than enough on the move with game’s distances) this must not be right. Particularly on M3 light, “limited” is probably incorrect, as it has (according to the game’s encyclopedia) SCR-210 installed, and that is a receiver-only set.

@arkadiy9321 2 года назад

This may just be the encyclopedia not matching the implementation in the game, since both 210 (rcv-only) and 245 (two way) could be installed on this tank.
