a campain that does exist

[Lin Sheng Li]

i have found a cm campaign that does exist:

Operation Storfang (OSF) is a Mod & Internet based Campaign for CMBB.

Imagine your self as a German General in the Crimea, Russia 1942. Your task, the capture of Sevastopol, the heaviest fortified city in that time. The Russians dug in deep, supported by large batteries of heavy guns such as Gorki I and II. Naval bombardments are a constant danger for your army while you're fighting a way to the port city. Before the main attack was launched, almost every artillery gun and airplane had been brought up, trying to blast the heavy fortifications into rubble and dust.

Eichenbaum's Operation Storfang (OSF) could be your tool to experience the 2nd World War in the Crimea. As an add-on campaign & mod for the great game Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin; will it give you the possibility to be a witness of the heavy battles and lead your own forces over the hills towards Sevastopol.

Mr. Eichenbaum departed these forums in a huff IIRC.

Parts of it did exist, and the maps were inspired and fabulous. It was also accompanied by some brilliant terrain mods, some of which are still to be found at cmmods. Unfortunately my old computer died with along with the files, so I was only able to glimpse the maps and play the firtt operation in the campaign. Now, sadly, it's just a memory.

Was not terribly pretty

I played part of the campaign Eichenbaum did develop. It was very nice.

At some time he stopped work on that version, as he wanted to redo it, then he left to start to develop a game on his own...

That was 2 years ago, havent heard of him since.

If you can get the parts of the campaign that were finished working you should try it out, but I dont know if all the mods are still available.

[Lin Sheng Li]

downloaded it from filefront and installed it.

it works great, a lot of things look different when i start the exe. but i only see 1 mission to play.

[Philippe]

That's the problem. There used to be three of them.

The graphics mods are really good, though.

[eichenbaum]

OMG :eek: You should have forgotten me by now!

I respect you for still playing this old game...

All OSF mods in 1 zip file »

I think that was your first post in over two years.

Welcome back!

"I respect you for still playing this old game..."

Chess in an old game too!

I hope someome will tell me when a better game than CMBB is made, but until then i will hung on to it.

It's like music - time will tell if it's good or bad.

[Lin Sheng Li]

thank you.

[CaptainBly]

CMAK is a better game than CMBB. With CMETO you get all the scenarios from CMBO as well as the CMAK ones and all the wonderful terrain, weapons, tanks, etc. I'd never go back to playing CMBB until this Campaigns comes out. I'd much prefer a Campaign of CMAK than CMBB though. But, it doesn't look like we are going to get either.

[Kanonier Reichmann]

You seem to be forgetting that CMAK does NOT include all the AFV's that CMBO had available such as the M18, M36, JagdTiger, Pershing, Comet etc. etc. The beauty of CMBB is that ALL the AFV's are included for the entire 4 years of the campaign except for the really exotic stuff such as the multi-turreted Russian early war tanks which couldn't be modelled and, I guess, the Grant.
