My favourite SL/ASL scenarios were The Streets of Stalingrad (Guards Counterattack and Tractor Works combined), The Road to Wiltz, Hill 621, and The Paw of the Tiger.
I converted all these maps to CMx1 but did not post them because I did not use forums at the time and was concerned about copyright. I regret that now
. The reason I regret it is because I put in a huge effort to re-model the terrain to work better with the CM game engine (and to simply look much better), while keeping the forces involved as close as possible to the original scenarios. These creations should have been shared with the CMx1 community. I play-tested these scenarios endlessly with my son and the result was a howling success I must say. All the scenarios recaptured the intense excitement we all felt when first playing Squad Leader/Cross of Iron (not ASL). I agree with the previous comments about simple map conversions being a disaster - it takes literally days to remodel a Squad Leader map to a realistic and enjoyable CM battle. Unfortunately I got rid of my CMx1 games and scenarios when CMx2 came out, oh well.
Anyway, I plan to recreate Hill 621 in CMx2 - perhaps this Xmas,

Okay, thanks for the comments and the clear guidance on this question, very much appreciated to all who contributed. I will wait on the CMBN upgrade for now (first time I have ever not upgraded without delay) - the reason being that CMRT is the real deal for me, at least for a while - great game!

I have been off PC for a couple of months and come back to find that 3.0 for CM Battle for Normandy is out -
! However, would someone confirm for me that I have to pay $10 for this even if I have v2.12 and have religiously purchased every CM2 game there is? Or is there a way loyal customers like me can download this FOC?

Ah, it's a shame that the camouflage gear doesn't add anything to concealment - but then if it did I guess we would see nothing else! So, I have gone over to the Hello Kitty scheme, heh. Thanks for the quick response Vergeltungswaffe.

The camo uniforms in CMBN look great, of course, but do they add anything to a unit's concealment in game terms?
I have searched the forum for this specific issue but did not find it, so I apologize if you all already know the answer. :confused:

Yeah, seen it, didn't think much of the map, all due respect to Dorosh.
