Mr.X

Thank you very much Bootie

Since I'm now working on another project that isn't related to CM and because I would like to finally complete this project, I've decided that now is the time to get not only the mastermaps, but also the entire CampaignPack released for the general download. It was very interesting to get in touch with the many people who wrote to me. Thanks again everyone!!! Today I have sent the whole CampaignPack to @Bootie who will make it available for download on the scenario-depot So you don't need to write to me anymore "Mission accomplished" , Mr.X

A few notes: 1. Many thanks to everyone who takes the trouble to send me kind emails with the first battle reports from the Eastern Front. I look forward to every AAR 2. In order to avoid unnecessary confusion, I have sent the promised 20 mastermaps to @Bootie today, who promised to make the maps available for download in the near future. Thank you @Bootie 3. So far only one player has written to me that there were a few crashes in the scenarios (especially chapters I and II) that involve a lot of fortifications (trenches, barb wire etc.) --It seems as if this is a specific, individual problem for this PC . Otherwise, I haven't heard of any technical problems (just like during the test phase). But if such problems arise, please feel free to get in touch. 4. If any player from my mail list is still missing the CampaignPack - please let me know, too. Actually I shouldn't have forgotten anyone, but you never know... 5. And if someone else would like to have the CampaignPack sent - contact me via PM or mail I always try to respond within 1-2 days. Regards Mr.X

Short feedback: I'm very pleased that I still receive inquiries every day. I hope that every player has currently received the entire CampaignPack. There was actually only one technical problem with the email in one case. But if anyone else hasn't received the email yet/or can't find it in his mailbox, please just contact me via PM. Regards Mr.X

It cannot be emphasized enough. If the briefings of the many missions are reasonable, then that is solely @pintere´s credit He corrected all (!!) the briefings and repeatedly had to deal with my terrible English.

First of all: Thank you for all the very nice emails that so many people have sent me. There are actually so many that I can't answer each one, but I read them all and really enjoyed them !!! Then a small note: I was a bit unclear with the .btt file that I also sent you. @PEB14 alerted me to that little problem: This .btt file means the following: I sent you a .btt file (named CP SoD Introductory Part) -- this file, you should find in your scenario-folder. It is no mission, but a kind of introduction to the CampaignPack. It consists of 5 own short written chapters, of which chapter 2 describes the general conditions, players can expect, when playing the CampaignPack. Hope that explains everything Regards Mr.X

Exactly one year after the first announcement, the project is now finished. In order to avoid misunderstandings on the part of the company Battlefront.com, I chose the name CampaignPack . The pack (as described in former threads) consists of 5 campaigns in which the player is thrown into the events of the summer of 1944 in the sector of the German Army Group Center. In total you will play minium 52 single missions, maximum 55 single missions (depending on one branch). To avoid technical problems, I didn't add any mods to the campaigns. But I can, for example, highly recommend the excellent work of @JM Stuff, especially his extraordinary mod collection of vehicles and wrecks I recently visited the forum regularly to stay in touch with people who wanted to register. However, I have asked the people at Battlefront.com several times to delete my profile. This request has not yet been granted to me, so as a quasi "undead" I will always stop by - but I will no longer take part in any discussions or answer any questions in the forum. To get in touch with me, please write to me at: E-Mail: f-s-zbg@web.de. Of course, I can still send the campaign pack to anyone interested. So all I can say is: It was a great pleasure for me to finish this project and share it with many people. I hope you have as much fun playing as I did creating it Best regards Mr.X

The first mails with the content are sent I will continue with the list today in the evening Regards Mr.X

Tonight, I have finished the complete (as it is now called) CampaignPack „Summer of Destruction“. During the next hours, I will complete the short intro file and then start to send the content to all the guys who have ordered it. Within the next 2-3 days, everybody should get it There is a small limitation: The announced 20 master maps are not included yet. I simply don‘t have the patience to wait any longer with the release. I will send these maps with a second mail within the next 2-4 weeks. Regards Mr.X

There will be a (last) short delay of some days I am still working on two missions, which I decided to rework. Regards Mr.X

@Bearstronaut: Of course There will be a last (small) delay of maximum 1-2 weeks Sorry for that, but reworking some missions costs more time than expected and I want to give you high quality content. Regards Mr.X

@Flibby: „More drama than at an Alabama Sweet 16 party „ Well said But seriously: will the next step be to declare this guy, JoMac, the real victim ? OMG During all the years, I have never ever insulted anyone in this forum and I have never ever put pointless bull**** into somebody‘s threads. And I would be very curious to see how relaxed you would react, if I reported you the admins here for criminal activity Ultimately, I don‘t care . I will continue with playing CM or creating some stuff if I like to, with or without being a member of this forum the still not deleted Mr.X

I tried to login in order to see, if they have followed my request to delete my existence as Mr.X and they haven‘t done it yet So, I will give you a personal answer, @slysniper: I am not a member of any social media like Facebook, Insta or so, because all these social networks seem toxic for me. Every anonymus moron can make trouble and cause the so called „missunderstandings“. But there is no misunderstanding. It is no joke to claim, I would do criminal actions, not at all. It is pure spite to harm orther people. In other situations, people lose their jobs or even their lives because of such denunciations.That‘s why I consider such people to be the biggest scum. A combination of cowardice, inferior intellect and evil. And if such scum is given a stage here instead of calmly clarifying everything behind the scenes, then that‘s not my place. Besides, all this nonsense bores me and wastes my time. No medication helps against stupidity Well, that was it. Very last greedings from Mr.X who will hopefully be deleted soon

I will leave this madhouse Sorry guys, but these ridiculous things are a waste of my time. I wanna say thank you for many interesting conversations with many kind guys. And thank you for your support with the [forbidden word ]. Of course, I will send my content to everyone of you, who asked me for There is a last small delay of the release date - so I think in mid February, my mail will arrive you And for the last time: you will not have to pay anything for it Finally, I wish you much fun in the future but be careful of Agent @JoMac. He will investigate all of your dark machinations … sooner or later Best regards Mr.X

This will be my last comment on this topic: 1. I will not defend myself against accusations that are absolutely grotesque. What do you think? That I am selling Battlefront products illegally via their official forum? To earn what? 150 Dollars ? 2. I have invested a lot of time to create such a huge BattlePack. It was primarily for my personal pleasure. Why did I invest so much time ? I don’t normally post any personal backgrounds, but in this context let me give a short explanation: After working in Level A hospitals for 15 years, during the last year I was member of a medical intervention team. My job is to wait for emergency calls. Sometimes there isn‘t any of these so that you are waiting for endless hours. During this time, I am payed AND I can do what I like: sleeping, reading books or watching TV … or doing some PC game stuff like CM. For example: some month ago, last September I started my day and we had to resuscitate a three year old boy who had a cardiac arrest when suddenly stop breathing while he was sleeping. His diagnosis was a huge brain tumor and he passed away some weeks later. Some hours later, I had to open the chest of a 24 year old girl in the ditch who was trapped under her own car. Between these two rescue missions, I created CM stuff, as a form of relaxation. 3. Of course, if one creates such stuff, it is nice to share the result with a community like in this forum. I did contact Battlefront in order to get (may be) some logistical support (especially for playtesting) and to offer them to use my work for their own - without any financial interest !!! I thought there was some enthusiasm there for such projects, but this idea was completely naiv. Did I care about that? No, I didn‘t. I continued with my project because it was my own pleasure. 4. Why did I go the way of „pre-ordering“? Sometimes, if you make content and it is placed on an uploading platform, it feels as if your content is swallowed by a kind of blackwhole. So, I have decided to make it this way, in a more personal form. When the content is ready, I will send it to all the guys who like to get it. Nothing more…no payment, no abuse of mail-adresses, only some harmless files of a OC game. 5. My personal happiness does not depend on such game stuff. I have enough real life, children etc. If players like the content, it will be a pleasure for me. If they don’t like it, it is absolutely ok. And even if my computer should crash and all my stuff was destroyed - so what. It is only a hobby, little fun, nothing more. Mr.X

I am very very irritated to see my topic locked because an anonymus weirdo named JoMac has claimed that I would sell any of my content of my coming BattlePack. I don‘t even have a PayPal Account. Thank you Battlefront.com for this great reaction. This level of communication is shameful. Mr.X

@Rob2020: nobody wants to play the poor Steiner, yelled at and forced to launch an attack with his shambles of an army.

What I find interesting is the fact, that up to now nobody mentioned the battle for Berlin with all its great possibilities for campaigns: Army Wenck The Halbe Pocket Oder Bridgeheads (ok, Fortress Kuestrin was mentioned before) Battle between the Oder River and the outskirts of Berlin Counter attack Army Steiner

@wolfgang500: „Fruehlingserwachen“ is one of my Eastfront favorites, too Great sources, huge variety of units and weapons, interesting regions Let‘s see…

From today onwards the final phase of the WIP starts with the aim of release on February 1st The plan provides for the following: = 3-4 single missions have to be reworked after they failed during the testing. That is a manageable number. = It still takes some hard work to place flavor objects in a few missions and make minor adjustments. = Finally, the 20 master maps have to be „cleaned up“ for the players who want to use them. = And at the very end - if I still have time - I might add a little prologue mini action At this point, thanks again to everyone who helped and to those who are still working hard at the moment Regards Mr.X

@slippy and @StieliAlpha: East Front vs West Front If there wasn‘t the release of Downfall, it would be easier Thanks for your suggestions - I will collect them all @Bearstronaut: A Soviet Campaign would also be very very interesting BUT I don‘t have enough sources and for such a project, you need Info down to Company level. The research probably would cost endless time… Regards Mr.X

@pintere: Great suggestions ! I would love to see a BattlePack dealing with Hungary Battle of Budapest Part of Operation Konrad Gran Bridgehead Part of Operation Spring Awakening Desperate defensive battles during the retreat in late March and April 45 5 Campaigns This is definitely one of my favorites

@David Jaros: thanks Doctor ! It‘s only a collection of thoughts and wishes…without any real announcement of WIP And who is MENA ???

@Aragorn2002: Eastprussia is fantastic Both of my grandfathers were there at the end of the WWII. One grandfather was going to Soviet Captivity from Fortress Königsberg, the other managed to escape from the Heiligenbeil Pocket with a rowboat. But there are so many battles and interesting situations that I don‘t know where to start and where to end As the Germans said: „Who wants to conquer everything, will conquer nothing.“
