Story

Campaign: Submarine Depot

  1. ‘Supply Depot, by ginc’
  2. ‘Adlernest, by Dersaidin’ (planned)
  3. ’Bergen, by Detoeni’

Axis submarines from a naval base near Bergen, Norway are cause for much distress in the Northern Atlantic. After failed attempts of disabling the base from sea and air, the OSA headquarters decided to send paratroopers behind enemy lines. Their task: Disrupt the supply lines of the base and strike a then vulnerable base from land. In the first mission, the Axis are preparing a shipment destined for the naval base from a supply depot in the mountains. The Allied paratroopers must seize those supplies for the local resistance to strengthen their efforts against the Axis forces in the region. In the second mission, alarmed by the loss of the first supply shipment, the Axis attempt to organise retaliation. The Allies must infiltrate the Axis fortification and steal the documents depicting Axis troop movements to disrupt their retaliation attempts. In the third mission, the Axis attempt to hold their naval base to ensure submarine operations in the Northern Atlantic. The Allies launch their attack on the weakened base and must disable communications to submarines on patrol to enforce their retreat and allow Allied convoys to reach the shores safely.

Features

In an attempt to improve the map further, two features have been added. One with a gameplay impact and the other one simply being a quality of life improvement for spectators and shout-casters.

The gameplay feature is the additional of an antenna, which is linked to the Command Post. It provides a near-global visual indicator for the status of the Command Post. (Destroyed, Under Construction, Constructed).

The quality of life improvement are skylights in the two main bunkers, which are solid for players and entities (bullets, explosions, grenades, etc.), but non-solid for spectators and shout casters. They allow spectators to maintain a constant overview of action around the facilities, while also keeping an eye on the respective main objective to never miss crucial events.
