Yes I have the patch installed. I think I have 50 savegames of this mission, and I will go on trying to keep the whole map.
By the way, in this last mission i still had some PZIII L, M & N. Is this all right, or should they have become PZIV or PANTHERS?.
THANKS FOR THIS GREAT ADDON. SURE I SHALL PLAY AGAIN. ;D

Yes it's normal. For all Panzer Divisions we kept the correct ratio of every type of Pz III & Pz IV they actually fielded during the battle. Even the 'elite' Pz Divisions had quite a few older Pz III models still active.

Can someone tell me how many waves of those russian tanks i can expect? In the moment i defended two heavy waves of tanks and some infantry attacks on hill 241 and my defensive positions are Vasilevka, Storozhevoe2 and the fields between tis two positions. Thanks to a lot of mines, mobile tanks and artillery as well as AA guns, fighters and brave soldiers in trenches i was able to hold this positions with moderate losses but i am wondering how the russians will be able to attack again because due to all their wracks they will find no pass to attack my positions again. But just to keep me excited again, how many waves will there be. It seems each time i try to retake this hill 252 a new russian attack comes.

I'm afraid you'll have to find out the hard way just like the German commanders did back then. Waves are not endless tho, the units fielded correspond in numbers to the exact amount fielded during the battle (well according to our researches at least), so the Russian armored downpour will have to stop at one time or another!

Hi Michael, I gather you have Patch 1.31 installed? As it appears if you had time to lay that many mines you must have dis-obeyed orders and not attacked straight away In total there are 10 armoured waves (80+ tanks) plus a couple of infantry attacks to content with. However, these arrive in a random sequence. If you the Russians clear Hill 241 you loose the mission. Re-taking Hill 252 is one of the objectives required to win the mission. Adrian

Hi Adrian,
Yep i took the orders in a wider range ;D so i cleared up the situation but also prepared myself for defence where it seems clever and there were a lot of positions to lay mines. At the end i was glad because after two or three waves i have to count the destroyed Russian tanks. And no, i am playing with the English patch 1.3 on the German version, as i already started the last mission when the new patch was released.
Hope it will not cause this reported loop as i have received now at least two times the message red smoke, Russian tanks to attack hill 241 , 252 and the farm as well as this small village. The biggest problem in the moment is to get supply and engineers to my troops to prepare for the next waves. I guess at least 40-50 tanks were already destroyed including KV1, SU 152, and many of this Garde T34. Hope i am not in this loop, once again outstanding gameplay.
BBFred, you are right everybody should face those waves of tanks, all at the same time at different positions. To group your tanks to operate mobile against the Russians at the same time at all edges of the map is the task. Lets see if i will survive, but is the number of German tanks also corresponding to your researches ? Means 10 or 12 German tanks facing 80+ Russian ones ?
Cant wait to go on with this mission.

Sorry to say as you sat back and let the attack come the loop has occurred, thus you will get at least twice as many Russians ;D (Patch 1.31 fixes this issue).
Your choice, brave out the additional attacks or start again with the patch installed.

Oh nuts, i thought so, the problem is that i want to do a walkthrough at BK Portal so i think after all the hours i have spend already with the mission i start again with the installed new patch. But i will keep my savegames for fighting out this challenge when i have done the mission. Just one last question. Adrian you told, that with the loop at least twice the amount of tanks will apear. Does this mean there is a chance that those waves will never end or just a few more waves ;D.

Most likley the waves will never end, depends on when the loop was triggered. As you said you only had the message purple smoke appear twice it may mean it only repeated itself.
If the loop was never ending you would have various messages appear all the time and the game would quickly slow down due to the amount of RUssian troops being generated.
You could use the cheat codes "ChangeWarFog(1)" to see what exactly the Russian still have remaining.

OK , i now installed the Patch 1.31 but where do i have to start? I have a save file from the end of the 7th mission and thoses Chapter end and start saves. To be sure i can run the mission properly should i continue with the file end of mission 7 ? Will the Patch work for mission 8?

The script bug was right at the start of Mission 8, so you will need to strat afresh or use the end Mission 7 save or Start Chapter 8 save.
