Description:
___________________________________________________________________
After several months, Rydygier was able to get some freetime to Fix/update the issues in the mission.
please note that there may still be some issues with the mission/mode so if you think you have run across any please report them on the release thread!
Changelog:
Fixed
- Heavy & Very Heavy tank allocation buttons/functions not working
- Script-related message for tank factory
- Enemy commander doesn't deploy a static mortar
- Red Icons for soldiers (circle), transports, halftracks, and tanks (sideways diamond) for the enemy dont show on map when your forces see them nearby
Fixed & rebuilt
- Enemy AI commander create many transport trucks/ambulances instead of a balanced number with more tanks/infantry
Rydygier comment
Hopefully fixed. In fact, base managing AI was redone in some parts, for better, I hope.
Improved
- Transporting troops (embarking/disembarking in combat)
- Enemy AI seems not aggressive enough, and or doesn't not deploy enough forces
Rydygier comment
Hopefully improved. Added second sub-leader to enable simultaneous attacking two flags etc. Known is rare circumstance,
when AI may stuck during flag taking progress
(when for any reason further flag is taken before actual targeted flag, reasons stay unclear so far).
Changed
- player incarnated as driver before when he gets into a tank, now incarnates as Commander, which will give you command and access to all other seats
Removed
- Crows & flies over dead bodies to save performance.
Missions with all Changes/fixes & updates applied
- Ragnarok'44 Demo - (now version 1.3)
- Ragnarok'44 City Under Duress - (now version 1.1)

New Ragnarok '44 IFA3 Mission Released
|
Gunter Severloh has released a new mission for the Ragnarok'44 mission series for IFA3, "Ivachev Clash".
See the release thread for more details.
___________________________________________________________________
Description:
___________________________________________________________________
Description
Ported from IFA2 (Arma2OA) version to IFA3 Lite, Ivachev Clash is a small map with close strategic points, that will create possible stalemates,
the Russians will get a good foothold on this map,and capture a few objectives by the time you get any of your forces mobilized, they will put up a fight, once they get their
tanks rolling in your direction be sure you have some AT soldiers, and a tank or 2 to prevent them from overcoming positions.
Focus on taking objectives, fighting units from a specific area is a waste of time, as the Russians will have spread themselves well around the objectives, more objectives
captured means more supplies, and forces you can build and upgrade.
Be weary of this battle as the Russians will have you overwhelmed if you dont pay attention.

New Ragnarok '44 Mission Released
|
Gunter Severloh has released "Ragnarok '44 - Baranow Crossroads", a new mission for the Ragnarok '44 series for IFA2.
See the release thread for more details.
___________________________________________________________________
Description:
___________________________________________________________________
Situated in a town, surrounded by forest and field, the Russians have the advantage right at the start, they are aggressive
because they dont have the terrain as a challenge like you do.
Russians are closer to the strategic points, and will capture most of them, they will overwhelm you with their tanks and fire
power if you dont act quick at the start of the mission and capture some areas, get enough points to build a tank factory,
the more tanks and mass of infantry you have vs theirs will aid you alot in beating them.
They will surprise you with their tanks even if you outnumber them and have all the strategic points captured, so along with
your tanks, have a couple of AT squads to back up your tanks.

need to play test and take screenshots
=============================================================
Russian Side version
IFR Ragnarok'44 team (Rydygier & Gunter Severloh) are working on a
Russian version of the Ragnarok'44 mission where you will be able to play as the Russians against the Germans,currently its in a working playable state but more work to it needs to be done,
mainly the buttons in the mission for the menus.
We'll keep you updated on any new changes or releases.
Ragnarok'44 Page updated
|
The Ragnarok'44 Page has been updated, the following changes have been made:
- Ragnarok'44 mod availible for download seperate from the original released mission
- Manual for the mod/missions that explains how different functions work, as well as the controls can be downloaded by itself

Ragnorok '44 Core Update!
|


The core of the Ragnorok '44 mission has been updated
Download: Ragnarok'44 [v1.15] original mission
(required as it has the mod you need to play any new versions)
Changelog:
- v1.15: Now player incarnates as group leader when he gets into a tank and will be in the tank commander's seat, driver's and can swap positions in the tank as usual can be done. (when was a driver in 1.14, I couldn't change seat in the Tiger for example).
- v1.14: Found and fixed error with heavy/very heavy tank allocations (AI was affected too - mistakes in function names). Now, when you buy in Logistics HT/VHT allocation, go to the tank factory, additional tank button(s) should be visible now for Tiger (HT) and/or King Tiger (very HT). Driver's seat is unlocked now again, as this method to keep player inside failed anyway, and clicking on the vehicle should make you group leader instead of driver (if driver was a group leader, nothing changes). Still "not disembark the crew" iron rule is valid. Pity, thatyou canot change seat in the tank without disembarking, this spoils the only hope to swap role in the tank. Stay inside or do what you want on own risk.
New Ragnorok Mission!

Update - New Mission!
Download: Ivachev Clash
Description
A port to Ivachev, the Russians have a good foothold on this map, they will have a few objectives already taken by the time you get any of your forces mobilized, they will put up a fight, once they get their tanks rolling in your direction be sure you have some AT soldiers, and a tank or 2 to prevent them from overcoming positions. Focus on taking objectives, fighting units from a specific area is a waste of time, as the Russians will have spread themselves well around the objectives, more objectives captured means more supplies, and forces you can build and upgrade.

Ragnorok Mission The Szydlow Stalemate
|

This is a version of Ragnarok mission located in the city of Szydlow located on the NW side of the Staszow map, the objectives are close in an area of the city and surrounding it,the battle will create a stalemate where either side cant seem to advance after capturing 3+ objectives for both sides, your strategy should be to overcome the enemies positions and take the objectives they hold and break the stalemate.
Notes:
The mission can be intense as the Russians take almost more then 3 objectives even before you get any troops or tanks to the city, as you know with Ragnarok you have the option to direct your forces from the map, the live 2d map, or you can choose an individual solder and fight the battle on the ground yourself from the soldiers perspective, or even take over a tank. When I was play testing the mission I found myself being a soldier on the ground many times just to prevent the enemy from taking an area, mission can be intense but its not hard, its a lot of fun!

How it started
Rydygier and myself have been working on this since start of August 2013.
Initially I asked Rydygier if he would be interested in converting Modkalb's WOO for Iron front and make it a sp mission where you can fight against the AI, he loved the idea and i set out and pm'd Mondkalb on BIS forums asking permission if we could convert/port the mission to Iron front, I had to explain about the conversion and so forth.
The name of the mission didn't come about til we completed the mission.
Almost everyday we shared ideas and tested what Rydygier and I worked on, I give Rydygier most of the credit as I tested, reworded things based on proper English usage, and given some ideas on alot of the features of the mission, but he mostly rebuilt the whole mission from ground up, adding sounds, icons, new functionality ect,. pretty amazing stuff!!
Requirements

Included with the download
