    This is awesome!  Great choice on the time period as well.  A lot of games go for 1985, by which time (IMHO) GSFG was becoming quite outclassed due to the proliferation of thermal imaging among NATO forces (not to mention all those Apache gunships coming off the assembly line).  
    1976-1982 (or so) seems to have been the optimum "Correlation of Forces" for the Soviets to, ahem, make their move. Any later, and it would probably have devolved into a turkey shoot for NATO.  I checked with my (Russian, much younger) wife and she totally agrees (while stifling a yawn and rolling her eyes).
    So THERE, proof!  Not joking - I did ask her
    Also, thanks so much for recognizing all this and delivering the tactical wargame all of us children of the 80's have been dreaming of since we first (tried to?!) play MechWar 2: Red Star / White Star Modern Mechanized Combat in Europe about a million years ago. God, that crazy phased movement system just about made my 16 year old brain melt (and I'm a doctor who went to Johns Hopkins lol).
    So, I'm really looking forward to operating my second-favorite tank-when-I-was-a-kid (the Chieftain).  #1 is the M60A2 btw.  Back in the late 70's, it was commonly accepted that a big-bore gun/launcher firing HEAT rounds/ATGM's was the future. All my cheesy sci-fi books certainly thought so...
    And PLEASE do the Bundeswehr soon!  We can always simulate the NVA using Soviet equipment (with a slightly different paintjob), but we need some Leopard 1's and (another favorite) the Jagdpanzer Kanone!  I gotta try that little Hetzer-on-steroids before I die. 
    And you better do a scenario called Last of the Jagdpanzers ;)

    Between Black Sea and Shock Force, I'd say whoever is picking the topics is a real Nostradamus.  
    You guys are pretty amazing.   These are not only the best tactical wargames ever made, but the subject matter/theaters chosen are, to put it mildly, *highly probable*.

    Hello, couple options.  One I could send it to you via email, or cloud or something.  There I can send you the .BTT file and the other jpeg's.   So you will have everything.   Not sure, but I know they are transferring scenarios.. although its been over a year and still not complete.  In fact Im not sure if my scenario even exists with them (Battlefront Scenarios) anymore.   let me know.

    Ok I am going to go ahead and release the campaign to everyone. Thank you to the play testers that tried it out. Hopefully I have made the corrections and adjustments that were suggested. There are two links. The first is the entire campaign and mod folder. Download this first and place the included mod folder in your dataz folder. Ignore the .cam file included with the first download.
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/02ju1ce0itcv4lh/The%20Last%20Panzer.zip?dl=0
    The second is the updated cam file. Download and place the cam file in your campaign directory. You should be good to go.
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/u5hjzdh5o1cwmn4/The%20Last%20Panzer.cam?dl=0
    The new cam file has the following corrections:
    1. The first battle The Corridor has two units of forward observers added to the 25th Panzer Grenadiers defensive positions. This will give you access to the artillery assets that were added earlier but could not be utilized.
     2. The second battle The Farm has some adjustments made to the Russian force disposition. Not telling you what lol.
    Hopefully this will fix all the corrections and suggestions that the testers made. As always any problems encountered message me so I can get them corrected. Hopefully all will be good. For those who have not tried this yet I hope it proves enjoyable.

    Here is the new download link to the CMRT Campaign The Last Panzer. I have gone through and upgraded most of the mods. It now uses the most up to date release of the Winter Modifications and includes most every mod that the team has designed which should now eliminate some of the graphic anomolies that were popping up due to mod conflicts. This campaign uses most of their fine work but still allows for the changing weather conditions as the campaign advances.
    I also went through and added additional snow effects to nearly all the vehicles involved in the missions that have snow for a more complete feel. I just wasnt satisfied with them appearing half done. Of course some of the Winter Modification vehicles are included along with the ones I have modded.
    Cleaned up a few boo boos in some of the missions like me forgetting to delete some flavor objects that were put down as a test in one mission. Also repositioned a few things that were annoying to me like a destroyed Russian vehicle that was positioned half way in a house. Not sure how I did that.
    I have had very little feedback on this thing so I did not make any game play adjustments. I will consider this a final release unless someone brings something major to my attention. Download the entire package to get the corrected mod folder and new .cam file.
    Here is the link. https://www.dropbox.com/s/02ju1ce0itcv4lh/The Last Panzer.zip?dl=0

    kondor999 reacted to Aquila-SmartWargames in bmp2 weapon choice   
    We´ll see if it is really nope and a bad reason to give:
    1st Test Run: BMP-2 is not given any orders. TacAI decides to use ATGM and takes out Bradley
    2nd Test Run BMP-2 is given a Light Target Command (which is claimed to be not working). The BMP-2 engages the Bradley (No ERA) with the AC. In contrast to the screenshot situation the Bradley turned away from the BMP is in the utmost worst situation, still the Bradley is not penetrated by the 30mm and manages to turn and takes out the BMP-2. The BMP-2 wether was able to pen the flank nor the front of the Bradley (which is claimed to get shredded) It would be the better option to use the ATGM.
    As I said penetration is possible to achieve and sometimes I even prefer the gunner not to use the ATGM for example when trying to "blind" with fire and because the gunner loves to immediately reload under fire but again its a "tough call" and at least the screenshot incident is far from the description "ingame issue". But I guess some ask questions while solely interested in approval of what they assume to be exclusively true, so I leave it to be as it is.
