Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

Hauptmann, Kruger and me have begun to make a new mod for Close Combat V about the besieging of Budapest in 1944-1945.
We need the maps and photos of Budapest from this period of time.
We have roughly order of battle of the German and Hungarian troops, but we have not the detailed OoB of the Soviet and Romanian troops. We gather the informations about various weapons and equipment used by the opponents during this battle. We are also looking for somebody who could record Romanian battle screams. We plan to add the Romanians in new submod, because there can be three different voices in this game (Hungarian, Russian and German).
Everybody can join our team. We have Hungarian sounds almost completed.

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

Excelent, I look into my books for you guys.

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

I can provide Soviet TOEs and OOB...just give me some time.

Can also dig up Hungarian voices & weapon sounds if needed.

D#c%

Good mod idea!

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

Of course I need it all, however as I wrote above I have almost all Hungarian sounds, but perharps ten. How did you get the sounds of the Hungarian weapon? I browsed whole Internet and could not find them...

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Barbarossa has lots of voices and weapon sounds for Hungarian, Russian, Romanian, Finnish, Italian, and German troops.

Let me know the specifics and I will provide.

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

Good to hear, I love the battles of the Eastern Front. Will this mod entail a certain month of the battles around Budapest like the encirclement, the German Counter-Offensive in 1945 or both?

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

You know, its a problem, because there is a limit of the maps in Close Combat, so we decided to make a mod about the fights in the city only. Perharps we will need a graphician, because we do the first steps in the graphic programs. We want to avoid such a situation how in Red Storm Rising mod - there were no new maps and the maps for this mod have NOTHING common with the terrain in post-war Germany. For example there are too many bocages, hedges and too little urban terrains. No offense of course ;)

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

This mod its only for fighting Allied and Axis troops in the siege of Budapest. Possibly, one operation for hipotetical situation - success of IV SS Armoured Corps which arrives to Budapest.
That is my proposition for the partition Axis troops in Budapest (on the basis of the Polish book: "Budapeszt 1944-45" of Marcin Sowa. He wrote this on the basis of the books of the Hungarian historians).

El Comendante,

Any dedicated website?
Can you provide me a mainscreen and or splash screen?

For this questions, look at my website and you will understand ;)

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

Good work...

This was one of the long forgotten battles on the eastern front, not given much attention by the west.

Looking forward to it.

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

My propositions for backgrounds of Main Menu.
I don't know Photoshop very good, I only come to know this program, and therefore I am not satisfied, but I now - I don't make this better.

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

nice images!

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

Hey kruger i checked ur picture for the main screen. it looks ok nice pics and so on only 1 thing is a bit less. there is to much withe on the edges of the pics. u might try to redo that...if you done that is should be great.

greetz buck

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

If you don't mind the help of another Hungarian...
1. 17. SS Cavalry Regiment became a part of the 22. SS Cavalry Div. in may, 1944.; renamed 54. SS Cavalry Regiment (so these SS Cavalry Divisions had only three cav regiments each).
2. About those things you wrote about 13. Panzer Div. After 1943 German mechanised infantry was called panzergrenadiers, and infantry was called grenadiers (there were some schützen regiments also). In the panzer divs ther were no infantry brigades after 1943, and motorcycle units were found in armoured recon battalions, if there were not enough armoured vehicles (there weren't).

If you need help, just tell me, because as I see there are other mistakes in the OOB; and some problems with Hungarian spelling. ;) I'll look after exact info about these things.

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

The 4. Panzer Regiment's I. Battalion was used as an independent Panther-Abteilung since early 1944, so the Regiment had it's II. and III. Batts (filled up with the 2110. Panzer-Abteilung in september, 1944.) while fighting in Hungary.

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

1. KG Erno should be called KG Billnitzer, because that was his first name. (Billnitzer Ernő, in Hungarian).
2. A German Panzer-Division usually organized 3 or 4 battlegroups from it's units.
- if the armoured recon btl was used separately in the recon role, it was reinforced with some tanks/SP guns/TDs; called Schnelle Gruppe (this was more common).
- one Panzergruppe: one tank btl (because armour shortages, almost all armour of the regiment late in the war); the one armoured pzgrenadier btl of the pzgren regiments (equipped with SPWs); the staff, SP inf. gun and SP AA gun companies of the regiment having the SPW battalion (these companies also Self-Propelled or mounted on SPWs); the armoured pzpioniere company of the pionier btl (equipped with SPWs); the SP howitzer battalion of the div's arty regiment; and sometimes the rec btl in the light pzgren role.
- one or two inf BGs: the pzgren regiments (motorized, not mechanized!) reinforced with one artillery btl, a pioniere company, a pzjaeger company, AA units etc. each.

Of course if ther weren't enough men or equipment, this was reorganized, but this was the most common way.

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

And therefore I wrote "this is my proposition". I don't speak perfect english, and therefore i must use help my translator - El Comendante. But I understand much.
So, my information abot OB SS Cavalry Divisions come from website "Feldgrau". Off course I must change uncorrected informations. Give my corrected OOB german and hungarian divisions.
About 13 Panzer Division. In Budapest stay sad remainder of the division, tanks, some artillery, not much infrantry. I divide this artificially for two groups - I (first) and II (second), Panzer Regiment because in town stay mailny tanks. If it is necessary, El Comendante will translate this better.
Off course we need help. We onlu just started work, and many informations (books and websides) are incorrected. Write alle mistakes in OOB.
Billnitzer is changed.

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

Snoopy84, as a Hungarian could you find the maps (city plans) of Budapest during or before the war? We found several pictures of this city, including a few bridges (for example Szechenyi Lanchid), but its not enough...
Cheers,
Chris

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

I can't find any maps of BP from that time, not even a one which would be detailed enough. :confused-

All I found was this (I think from 1940):
If you need some explanation or details about this, than I'll work a bit on it.

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

El Comandante, etc:

Here's some budapest pics I came across that you might find useful for the debrief/splash screens:

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

Thanks, I have this photos, but in a lesser, worse distributiving.

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

This is my last job. Like I say, I'm learning Photoshop, so this is not very good, but this is some progress.
I present known bridge of Budapest - Chain Bridge (Szehenyi Lanchid).
The shadows are to correction of course.
Second screen is bridge from map Houx (Meusse Crossing). I use this to work my bridge.

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

I think Lánchíd is really good.

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

For show you size of this bridge I add to him two tanks - Tiger and Hetzer in comparable scale. Incorrect camouflage, but that's no the point.

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

And now time to OOB allied forces arround Budapest.
I have data (OOB) some contradictory with a OOB Uberdave’s, and my OOB is still incomplete. If the thing in hand is cotradictory with Uberdave, I write this in bracket.

Forces besiege Pest.
(At first – 46 Army but in interesting us time this army cross Danube river and besiege Buda)

30 Independent Rifle Corps
25 Guards Division (Uberdave – shortage)
36 Guards Division (Uberdave – Rifle Division)
151 Rifle Division
155 Rifle Division

7 Romanian Corps
2 Infrantry Division
19 Infrantry Division
9 Cavalry Division

18 Rifle Corps
297 Rifle Division (Uberdave – Guards Division)
317 Rifle Division (Uberdave – Guards Division)

also
66 Guards Division (subordinate probably to 18 Rifle Corps – as wrote Uberdave)
68 Guards Division (at first serely subordinate to 46 Army, later probably to 18 Rifle Corps – as wrote Uberdave)
337 Rifle Division (Uberdave – shortage)
Elements tank brigades (probably from Gen. Plijew’s Rapid Group or from 27 Guards Army)
Breakthru artillery division (probably 16) and AA artillery

Together – ca. 67-70 thousands soldiers

Forces besiege Buda

10 Guards Corps (later 2 divisions move to fight with SS Panzer Corps Otto Gill’s)
49 Guards Division
86 Guards Division
109 Guards division (Uberdaves OOB, I havent this in my source)
180 Rifle Division (Uberdave – Guards Division)

23 Rifle Corps
99 Rifle Division
316 Rifle Division

37 Rifle Corps
59 Rifle Division (Uberdave – Guards Division)
108 Rifle Division (Uberdave – Guards Division)
320 Rifle Division

75 Rifle Corps (this is enigmatic matter. This corps appear in my source two times, in map and one time in text but without details. I found him in webside too, in hungarian map of Budapest siege but without details too. Uberdave – shortage. I don’t know his divisions)

Elements 2 Mechanized Corps (which? I don’t know. Whole Corps move later to fight with SS panzer Corps, Uberdave – shortage)

Elements 18 Armoured Corps (I don’t know too which elements)

83 Marine Infrantry Brigade (probably in Csepel Island, Uberdave – in 18 Rifle Corps)
Breakthru artillery division (probably 7 or 9) and AA artillery.

Together – ca. 70 thousnads soldiers.
Tanks brigades, breakthru artillery, AA artillery, marine brigade – ca. 40 thousands soldiers (Buda + Pest).

Partition for battlegroups (proposition). One division – one battlegroup, so:
7 Romanian Corps – 3 battlegroups,
30 Independent Rifle Corps – 4 battlegroups,
18 Rifle Corps – 2 battlegroups,
additional divisions arround Pest – 3 battlegroups,
23 Rifle Corps – 2 battlegroups,
37 Rifle Corps – 3 battlegroups,
10 Guard Corps (2 divisions in Buda) – 2 battlegroups,
75 Rifle Corps (probably) – 3 battlegroups,
2 Mechanized Corps – 1 battlegroup,
18 Armoured Corps – 1 battlegroup,
Marine Brigade – 1 battlegroup.

We have still 2 battlegroups for remain divisions of 10 Guards Corps, which fight with SS Panzer Corps in hipotetical operation.

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

For a first look, the size seems correct. If the Tiger's width is 3,705m, the road on the bridge is around 5m (by the picture); I think thats OK. But the pavement looks a bit too wide, Don't know. Can you show a few men on the bridge to see this?

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

well, the bridge looks good! If you just started mapmaking i have to warn you .. once you have started its hard to stop, like a virus ;-D

btw: Will you have maximum size maps in Buda mod?

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

Maps will be different, small and big. This map is 2880x2040.
Below - bridge and him map.

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

My new job - 2 propositions for splash screen.
First this is photo of bridge Miklos Horthy (ruins). Second this is original german order from battle of Budapest.
What do you think about it?

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

I think the first one is very good, but i dont think the fonts fits the image (maybe make the smaller or colour around the edeges of the font). Btw i really like you bridge map, i will give it 8 out of 10.

Re: Budapest 1944-1945 mod started
 

I think the first one is better. What will be the timeframe?
