Creative Screenshots - "And yet we move..." blog - Reborn:X

Reborn:X's blog is back !

Hello everyone once again!

After months of inactivity I finally got to chance to somewhat restart my good old 'screenshot storytelling' blog attempt in a slightly different approach!

I will be trying to post updates every Saturday or Sunday as it was in the previous years. There will be new video games added to the blog, some of them released very recently. Taking into the account how the previous series looked like; this one will be less based on combat and military situations and more on the games that have some more features than just war. However, it does not mean that I'll be moving towards Visual Novels!

So, onto the main attraction. The material of today is Combat Mission: Black Sea. That game about Ukraine that just got released a few months back. The setting on this blog entry is more of a stock one as I do not have enough experience as of now to build up some custom maps. I did my best to edit out the permanent HUD which kind of breaks the feeling that I am trying to present. Hope you will like it!

August, Central Ukraine, 2017 AD

Do you have what it takes to blow their helmets off?

Enjoy the smooth early morning breeze, the light rain falling down on the uniforms, your skin, the souless machines, the objects of war.

The Ukranian Army is searching for a group of lost men, stragglers from bygone times. It has reached a small village of Voloske. In the search the screams of birds and the sounds of gunfire had led them to Voloske. It is now considered a specific ground, a area in where one might quite literally; lose mind.

The guys has disembarked from their combat machines are walking foward on an equal pace. No need to rush, no need to run away or to move away from the line. This ground is the easiet ground these scouting boys will have and will be trodding through all their service time.

Do you realize that it is all about radio communication nets?

Soldier (Soldat) J. Ivanova description of the situation:

" Me and my service comrades were walking towards one of the places where the supposed straggler company was last seen. The air is chilly, cold rain is falling down on our helmets and the damp terrain made some of our percious combat vehicles to lose their grip on the formation. We are alone out here I believe. The entire location feels strangly eerie but calm at the same time... "

The comms aren't picking up anything on the net. The radar is useless, the binoculars hadn't spotted out anything but bushes and occasional sights of human presence like the houses round the roads.

Nothing out here too, nothing out in the abandoned house too. Guess it would be advisble to cover some more ground with men.

The main road junction with all the important buildings is empty, not a soul present except us.

If we cannot do it, then who can?

Now's the time to get out of shadows. We must work them out before they even notice one of the dropping out.
