Scott B Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 The Stalingrad Pack is a joint project between the Der Kessel and Boots & Tracks design teams, and was first announced in this thread. Tonight, we have a few more screenshots of Stalingrad Pack scenarios, and some more information for interested CMBB players. Production is on schedule and we expect to have everything done on time for our intended November 19th release. At this time it appears that we should have about 27 scenarios in the pack, with at least three additional QB maps based on the area. As previously mentioned, we will also be including Clubfoot's very cool "Stalingrad Pack" mainscreen and a brief writeup of the history and placement of our scenarios within the context of the historical battle. But enough of that stuff - here are some screenshots! The village of Verkniy-Kumskiy burns throughout the savage fighting in Berli's "Eye of the Storm." Soviet forces prepare to move out of their assembly area and assault the Rumanians in Franko's "Antonescu Kaputt." The bridge on the Don sits silent in the dead of night, as Berli's "Kalach-na-Donu" begins. A week or two more and we should be able to release a final batch of screenshots and the scenario list. Thanks to all for their patience - we can't wait to get this monster project out to everyone! Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Axe_ Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 I am really anticipating this one. Thanks to the fellas over at Boots and Tracks and Der Kessel for their hard work. If you haven't been to the Boots and Tracks web page in a while, now is the time. The latest B&T Times is out along with a special surprise. 'Nuff said. Cheers, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cull Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 Twenty seven scenarios! Holy Gotterdammerung! Or something like that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John O'Reilly Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 Will most of the scenarios be playable on mid-range machines (800 MHz) with decent RAM and G-card? I have found that the large city battles can cause considerable slow-down. Thanks for your efforts regardless, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebulon Pleasure Beast Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 Looks really promising! Nice work, guys. I'm also interested in the size of the scenarios? I hope there's some smaller battles in the mix, since I have a 500mhz computer which chokes on big battles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your efforts regardless, JohnI can only speak for the Boots and Tracks scenarios, but if they can be tested on a P2-233 and a TNT, then they'll run fine on your rig.

Scott B Posted November 2, 2002 Author Share Posted November 2, 2002 Originally posted by MrNoobie: i wish someone would do the russian uni's, cuz looking at that pic they look coldI hear that. I was kind of hoping we'd see Soviets in winter camo by now as well. As for the scenarios, Kingfish and Berli are correct. Most of the scenarios do take place outside the city itself, although there will be a handful of urban fights - at least eight - and at least one QB map based in the city. The urban stuff varies in size from small to large; only one of the six I've seen wasn't very playable on my P3-450.
