Heinrich505 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 It's all well deserved. You did a fantastic job! I've been following the Vietnam mod with great interest. I will look forward to seeing what magic you can put together for that campaign. Thanks for all your dedication and hard work. It really shows!

hundtand Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) I had great fun with this campaign. Every single mission offered up, at least a handful, of those moments of tension that keeps me coming back to Combat Mission. Some missions seemed droll at first glance, but they all ended up offering great and immersive experiences. To top it all off, it all feels very grounded and realistic. The campaign also manages very well to tell a story. I think having all but two missions play out on the same map helps greatly with that. Strangely enough, watching pixeltruppen crest a ridge, becomes more interesting when that ridge has been crested before. When there's occassion for me to project my own memories of casualties inflicted by the enemy onto my pixellated platoons. Thanks for letting us play! I hope you got as much enjoyment out of making this campaign as I got from playing it. Spoiler follows, highlight to read: That RPG in the epilogue mission was a great touch. Edited July 11, 2019 by hundtand Fixing the spoiler marking, etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puje Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 @hundtand I'm glad you caugh that surprise at the end. That AI for that simple little thing really drove me nuts because the AI is so unpredictable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't spend as much times on it as I did on this campaign, but I hope I can somewhat live up to the reviews of Valleys. You knocked that sucker well & truly outta the park mate! @puje's 'Year Of The Rat' campaign for CM:SF2 'Heaven & Earth' is available here: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsocrates Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 This may be the dumbest question of all. I downloaded the Campaign and have the .cam file. Now What? I put it in my Z folder, nothing. How do I install the campaign? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 @Bigsocrates - there is a folder called (helpfully) Campaigns - bung it in there mate. The filepath goes something like this: C:\Users\yourname\Documents\Battlefront\Combat Mission\Shock Force 2\Game Files\Campaigns Then launch CMSF and you should see it when you go to campaigns. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roter Stern Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Started playing though - I'm only three missions in and already had to come here to say how well done this is! Being rather burnt out on "shock and awe" from the official campaigns and majority of scenarios - this is a breath of fresh air! Never has poking your head over the crest of a hill as BLUFOR has been so tense! The fewer assets you have, the more you care about them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatgreta1066 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I've just started playing this campaign, I'm on mission 3. So far it's a lot of fun. I like the way you have us using the same map but having to explore different parts of it. One thing that would really help is allowing units to set up outside the base for missions where patrols have to go out. It's very difficult and time consuming to maneuver all the HMV's out, the TAC AI almost always gets one or more of them bogged or immobilized trying to drive over the trenches, regardless of the waypoints I put in. Otherwise, as I said, I'm enjoying it a great deal. Thanks for the time you put into it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't actually remember, but are the trenches and wire maybe movable in the setup phase? Maybe that could make it a bit easier?

Setup zones outside the wire would cover it. It's not a big deal, the campaign is still a lot of fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Captain Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Ok, I know I am really late to the party here... But, I have been deeply engrossed in this campaign and am really just loving the whole thing. The tension going out on patrol is palpable and you really really become attached to your squads. I know exactly how many casualties I have suffered so far and felt every one. I am currently on the mission where I have the new outpost and have set an ambush in the woods and need to test the river depth. I'm just gnashing my teeth figuring out how to get down the river test spots in a valley full of Taliban. I think smoke is my friend here. Anyway, I've suffered 3 WIA and 1 KIA. The KIA was due to a suicide bomber in the assassination mission. Just wanted to say thanks! This campaign is fantastic! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt_Winters Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 @puje I've just purchased CMSF2 and after reading this thread I have downloaded your campaign before playing anything else. I'm currently on mission 3 and thoroughly enjoying it so far. Thanks so much for all the effort put in to this. I can't even begin to imagine the hours to put this all together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I've nearly finished 'The Strip', the urban bit that I chopped off the edge of 'The Delta'. It's grown quite a bit since you made 'YOTR', so if you ever fancied doing a sequel in some urban terrain..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) Did you try 'YOTR' (or 'H&E' generally for that matter) yet? Edited January 23, 2022 by Sgt.Squarehead 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
