I just ordered a copy of Steel Panthers 1 off Ebay that has a bunch of Novastar scenario disks + booklets. Will let you know when it arrives in a few weeks.

Recently, JapLance on Subsim.com posted a 2~ MB file of 300+ scenarios he had saved for the original Silent Hunter I; which enabled me to raise the "Recovered" amount of Wargamer Scenario Depot Files for Silent Hunter I from 3 (23%) to 11 (84%).

The Domain Name + Server grace period for Close Combat Series NET has ended.

<insert Vince McMahon crying meme>

Thanks to Argilas over in the main Close Combat Matrix Forum ( HERE ) for posting this -- I've chosen to keep the tone of his post (apologies if I seem like stealing the post).

After 20~ years, the webmaster behind closecombatseries.net is hanging up the torch. He has elected to not renew the ...

Hi Ryan,
I discovered that some old CDRs are now unreadable

Don't throw them out just yet! A long time ago, I found out that some CD-Rs could only be read in certain CD-ROM drives -- towards the end of CD-ROM drive production (as a mass PC item), a lot of shortcuts were being taken, compared to ...

My dear Davide,

Thank you so much for finding more scenarios.

I'm interested in anything on those old backup CDs of yours, even if it already appears covered by what I've collected.

For example - hypothetically, you have 200~ CMBO scenarios -- I'm still interested in those scenarios, because they ...

They're part of the JTCS compilation; "baked into the cake".

Reason I started this thread; was I was looking for the old Sea Lion Scenarios/LCGs (in order to play them) and wasn't sure what was what; as the Campaign Series menu design is very bad.

FALL OF THE REICH

This was a "unique" expansion pack for East Front II.

Standalone, it was only available directly from Talonsoft's online store.

Most people got it as part of Talonsoft's "World At War" bundle, which bundled:

West Front + Sea Lion + Battle Pack 1
East Front II + Fall of the ...

First up, Operation Sea Lion for West Front

WEST FRONT: SEA LION is dedicated to the memory of James W. Johnson, a longtime TalonSoft tester and troubleshooter. JW, an all-around great guy, passed away on June 27, 1999. We will miss his valued input, insight and sense of humor.

I got a copy of it thanks to good old "Warhorse".

In fact, I'm accepting ANYTHING related to Campaign Series. I have about 2 GB of mods/scenarios for the "classic" Campaign Series games so that it can be uploaded to the Internet Archive as a long term durable repository of stuff.

Specifically the HOT WAR mod?

Hot War: 1945 v1.01

"Hot War: 1945" is a mod for West Front that allows players to fight USSR vs. US, UK and Allied (West) Germany!!! It is a separate install of WF and requires EF II also. Version 1.01 works with all WF v1.05 packages (including WF, WF Elite, EIF ...

Your link keeps saying that you need to request permission from google to access it.

EMP isn't what you think it is.

A lot of EMP is localized to the region of the target -- for example induced EMP ceases to become a major factor in weapons effects at about the same distance the thermal pulse sets things on fire.

SREE (High Altitude EMP) is a moderately hard problem. It won't ...

By that, I don't mean all new MegaCampaigns or scenarios or major new features, but returning to the codebase and releasing a new version that:

1.) Fixes the Artillery Bug
2.) Allows higher resolutions than 800x600 (it's 2023)
3.) And/Or has a Windowed mode (so that you can play it on modern ...

Hi Ryan, following on from my previous text I have 46 of the 54 Novastar SP scenario disks. The 9 numbers missing are ;
8, 14, 27, 34,37,38 42, 52, 53. Should I assume these disks were never published by Novastar?

This is a listing I made for NovaStar SP Scenario Disks based off the last known ...

A significant amount of NovaStar Scenario Disks ended up in the "Official SSI SP scenario discs"

For example:

Novastar SP Disk 11 - The North African Campaign - 1942 (Steel Panthers Campaign Disk #1)
Novastar SP Disk 20 - Barbarossa Campaign (Steel Panthers Campaign Disk #1)

For Novastar SP Disk ...
