My homie in fucking Christ, what in the fuck is this map....

This is definitely a bad map. Pretty, but absolutely awful gameplay design.

Worst map ever and i have 4k hours in this game!

ulgy map

4 panzers got stuck at the ramp and all got instantly one tapped by a mortar.....

can you make a variant with no ice water and but keep it snow? :D also summer and such

Horrible map design. Astheitcally beautiful but the design is bad. Initially tot the 3 choke points were the middle bridge and the 2 sides. IK its called the gauntlet but its almsot unplayable. Better luck next time.

Please dude add a bridge to this map so you can use the river and the bridge because it is straight impossible tog et your troops to the other side. The only downside of this map.

Any chance you can make a summer/dry river bed version? I like it and all it's just kinda of unplayable with the ice.

Good map but its main problem is the river is too narrow and leaves no room to move, and your troops can get blocked from moving up onto the opponent's side for ages waiting for the ice to refreeze. Anything past a 1v1 and the arty spam / tank shots makes it unplayable since neither side can cross the river. Make the river 3x as wide, and fix the terrain on the slopes the units will stop and not go up the hill sometimes even when there is a path. And good luck playing against other human player they will just put mines on the ice and instantly destroy your heavy tanks trying to cross since there is only an ice chokepoint to cross, resulting in a never ending stalemate

hao

This map looks gorgeous. However, if the ice gets damaged at the ONLY ramp on either side of the "gauntlet", it does not freeze back over properly, and no units can get through.

I like the idea, but similar issues as bellow, ice breaking was a bane, it was a most nervous time pushing my uber German heavy & expensive tanks over to the other side under smoke screne. I hink the biggest issue was the AI, it really couldnt cope with this even on expert. I think if you connected the regions differently you could help it.

I agree with Buzz Killington. It's a really cool concept, but the ice breaking just makes it frustrating more than fun. Three ways to go about it - either make the ice unbreakable (which I'm not certain if you can do that or not), make it just a valley instead of a frozen river (kind of makes less sense that way though), or make the bridge repairable but broken at the start (means you have to strategize fighting over the bridge or the river).

River crossing is bugged. Broken ice makes crossing impossible.

River pathing is horribad. Ice at the ramps can get jacked and remove all ways across the map. Until the ice freezes. Unless it just keeps getting shelled.

Great map! But too bad that the bots are too dumb to play this. After heavy shelling the river ice just disappears and all the bot tanks will get stuck at the riverbank because of pathfinding issues.

Love this map, thanks for making it!

Played this map with my friend got 3 is 2s and 3 tigers across the river no problem

The bridge in the middle needs to be able to be repaired, then the map will work.

ups, can confirm it. But we stopped it after 30 mins :D

I comfirm, this is a bugged Map. 1h30 playing with friends and impossible to cross the river !

The worst map i ever played. One long way over the river and the only way to cross! Bet way to finish a game on this map! Surrender or quit!

Bugged map, infartry can't cross the river.

One single crossing thats essentially impossible to cross?

Great idea.

how is this crap 5 stars

Can'y cross the river with armored units at all. Either the ie breaks from anti tank fire constantly and if it does reform enough to cross the tanks just get stuck on the banks as is the y cant get up them. Pathing around destroyed vehicles on the banks is another major problem. Perhaps making the banks longer and the slopes less steep could help. putting a destructible bridge would help as well. With the size of this map it can't be done by inf alone, especially if you are using the first 2 factions with thier long retreats.

Broken. Long range artillery can be used to break ice faster that it reforms thus making it impossible to cross over.

Map is completely broken. Armor and AT Guns can (and do) fire through the banks of the river like it isn't there. Units on the river can fire rounds into the riverbank that can destroy units and armor a hundred feet from the river. My tanks could never make it to the other side of the river, once they got ramp up they just wouldn't ever go up. Unplayable and not fun in the slightest.

Can you PLEASE make a version with a higher popcap? 200? :D

Spiel-Modus = Eroberung!
Am Anfang hat es Spaß gemacht. Doch musste ich nach kurzen Gefechten leider feststellen, dass die Weg-Punkte über den River verbuggt sind. Der Brummbär z.B kommt nicht auf die andere Seite. Und bei mehren Einheiten die man über die andere Seite bringen will ,,insbesondere Panzer'' verkeilen sich zu schnell, da Sie nicht in der Lage sind direkt aufs Festland zu fahren. Eigentlich eine gute Karte doch mit solchen macken verliert man zu viele Einheiten.Nach ca. 45min sind die NPC's (Gegner + Verbündete) nicht mehr in der Lage anzugreifen, und verschanzen sich auf der anderen Seite oder bleiben schlicht in der Mitte des Rivers stehen.. Dies führt dazu, dass der Spielfluss unterbrochen wird, und die anderen Flaggen kaum mehr einzunehmen sind. Endlos Kette. Daher leider nur 2 Sterne

Great map is all I can say, anything else said will just be blabber.

Good map, it has it flaws. Me and my friend couldn't beat it. We played as the Germans against the Russians we couldn't get armor across, it would always sink in the river. Eventually the Russians where just Tanguskaing the shit out of us.

Can you make a bigger pop cap? plssssssss

good card!

good map but pls make 3 VP and 2 fuel point version. my suggestion middle fuel point turn VP, top and bottom VP turn standart points.if you make my suggestion, make me happy :)) thx...

You make some truely awesome map's, love all of them except this one, the bottle neck on the ice just murders all tank offensives and we ended up calling it a stalemate, can't win them all ;)

My opponent got into the offensive fast, but I was able to stop 3 of his T-34's but his Conscripts + Guard Rifle Infantry got passed; finished off by my mortar then we set-up a defensive position by the bridge by placing 4 AT Guns and 2 Bunkers (Upgraded with MG's + MG42 Infantry inside) and alot of Panzergrenadiers until my friend had the strength to push on to the other side of the river. Alot of Soviets died crossing the River because of my Bunkers, but at the same time the Soviets used Katyusha's to bombard my position causing alot of my Infantry to die but the Bunkers stood. My friend got to the offensive fast and destroyed the Katyusha's so that my forces could also advance.

It was an epic battle.

nice map nice idiea that the heavys not so easy can cross the ice river i love your map make more:)

My tiger stuck in ice , can't cross over north land

Did it as Russian against KI, full complement of players. I had to micro tanks on the ice a bit but got two ISU assault guns to the other side. Some pathing issues when there are holes in the ice and many vehicles. But not long - they get all shot to pieces quickly...

Very good map but tanks usually can't get off ice. I mean tanks stuck on players 4, 5, 6 side

@Ryan I'll have to play the map again to find out what ramp it was. I think whatever access point/ramp you have open that will fit armored vehicles just needs to be widened. It was one of the access points kind of in the middle of the map right off the ice. When I said "North" I actually meant "East." At the time of my comment I was thinking of how the map was oriented in my mind. My buddy and I started out on the West or left side of the map, and were unable to get any armor to the Russian side. I hope this comment helps. If not please get back to me and I'll do my best to recreate what the issue was as well. As a matter of fact there was a lot of broken ice due to mortars, so that may have been why. Thanks for your quick response.

Yep found the same problem, impossible to get an IS2 up the ramp on the german side at all and had to wait for a blizzard to get T70s and T76s over the river. Scout cars and even SU76s seemed ok.

Same problems as those below: the river gets torn up and vehicles can't path to the opposite bank at all. Infantry cross at the landings near the bridge all right.

@Wolfpack - I haven't been able to reproduce what you're describing. By northern side I assume you mean the wide ramp up from the river leading to the Germans' default side? Was a lot of ice broken around the ramp? Were there a lot of wrecked vehicles? These can create pathfinding problems for the tanks. The ramps are definitely working fine when the match begins, so if you could please more specifically describe when in the match this is happening, and what state the ramp & the ice around it are in when the problem occurs, maybe I can fix it.

I agree, it is a good map, but I have played it twice and both times friends and I were completely unable to get armored vehicles up the Northern side. Infantry was able to advance, but tanks could only hopelessly sit on the ice.

There is only one place to get up on enemy territory but my tanks cannot get up there. I removed this map again

This map are not broken. Read the map. Its a werry fun map. A werry good map.

beautiful, tough and fun. compliments
