Here goes, a quick and easy Steel Fury mission, played from beginning to end:



You may be familiar with this particular battle. If not, never mind, you'll enjoy this anyway.  Grin

By the way, apologies for the low-res. We'll do better next time...

Thanks,

Here's another action-packed mission from the Panzer III campaign, played from end to end. Not my finest performance, but this battle is still winnable  Grin:

Part 1:


Part 2:

Kyth what mod are you using? The sound and the target marker look old ?

I prefer to use the term 'Classic'.  Grin

It's SPM 2.0, with icons and sounds backdated to the originals, as per preference.

I see "Classic = dated but with chic" Wink You decided not to go for the NTA series? Can we expect to see you on the new forum anytime soon ?

OK I'm hooked, Kyth, I think I'll get that Campaign started from my SPM install and take my chances with the thick-skinned Soviets. Is that the campaign that starts with 'Welcome to the Front', where the 'welcome' consists of being heavily shelled after about two seconds? I think I'll keep the difficulty settings stock though, I'm a bad loser.

A typical Mission by Kyth; when it doesn't rain water it rains steel... Grin

Ok I got a problem. In the campaign 'Not Quiet on the Eastern front', I have just two missions 'Welcome to the front' and 'The Big Uglies'. Same in NTA and in SPM 2.0. Are there just these two missions? I thought there were more.

That's normal; the missions only appear in sequence, when the previous ones have been completed. There are 2 ways to get them to appear:

succeed once, or fail 3 times  Cheesy

Good news, there's a way to get around this! and that's to download the individual missions. Thankfully they are still available at all reputable outlets:

Panzer III missions:
http://graviteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=1086.0

Panzer 38t missions:
http://graviteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=9926.0

They are all compatible with both STA and SPM, so just activate them last in JSGME. Add in the relevant entry to 'user_camp.engcfg'. To find and play the mission, navigate to the 'User Missions' category in the in-game selection screen.

Another 'Quiet' mission, which comes in 3 acts:

Act 1:


Act 2:


Act 3:


As some of you may know already, it's a replay of 'Quietly Flows the Blub'.  Cheesy
