<t>Yes, "Black Hawk Down" is a very good reading and description of what happenned in Somalia in 1993.<br/>
<br/>
WWIII, by Eric L. Larry, is required reading for everyone interested in a potential third world war. I think the US title was something like Arctic ....-fill in-....<br/>

<r>I'm from The Netherlands, and I think you should contact Yo van der Pluim on this site, I'm sure he can give you enough links regarding my countries 1989 units and equipment.<br/>
Appreciate the fact that there is a serious effort in a WWIII: Cold War game though, so thanks for that!!!<br/>
<br ...

<r>Sounds nice, but I would like to be able to pick more countris than just the US, UK, Germany, and USSR. Canada, Belgium, France and my own country forinstance. If not in the actual scenarios than at the least in an editor. It would loose a lot of appeal to me, personally, if my own country would ...

<r>Okay, could one someone please describe to me in detail how this game works. And hofar the game goes, just the beginning events or until the end of it?<br/>
I read it is on Brigade level, with the player controlling company-sized units. Now which countries could be chosen in the different ...

<r>Well though "The Third World War - August 1985" is a good read I think it's a very, very UK centred/minded book. The numbers in both editions (he printed one in, I believe, 1978 and another revised one in 1983 or 1984) are increadeably incorrect. He makes assumptions on other NATO countries ...

The Topgun SOundtrack was actually the first CD I bought, oh yes back in the old days (snip). Back than you actually had to buy the whole freakin CD if you'd liked only one song in particular (the Topgun movie theme, naturally).

<t>I was wondering if any of you play certain kinds of music when playing SPWAW?<br/>
In 99% of the times I only play one or more of the following CD's:<br/>
<br/>
1-A burned double CD filled with downloaded soundtracks (Gettysburg, The Thin Red Line, Saving Private Ryan, Back Draft, Crimson Tide ...

Are the points cost for later versions higher or are the offered points for the campaign lower toward later versions of the game?

Regards,

Pantherblaster

<t>I don't know how many points my list was in total. I played it with one of the earliest versions. It was about october/november 2000 when I played it. I restate that I did NOT up my points, in fact I didn't even know you good do that until Lars Remmen pointed it down in this thread, honestly.<br ...

<t>Ok, I just looked up one of my exact lists for this campaign. It's for the scenario in which you fight in the hedges (third scenario if I'm not mistaken). underneath I've just listed the addded up totals for each units and vehicles I had chosen by that time, no support troops just my core force ...

<t>I only used the support points to buy some artillery (usually one bat of 75mm for smoke and one 155mm for suppression). In the first scenario's I also used two sections of 60mm mortar jeeps which I upgraded later. My principle basically was:<br/>
<br/>
1: drop lots of airborne infantry, bazooka ...

Cool picture Don!

<t>Hmmm, doesn't look like a lot of armour to me. It's been a long time ago, I could look up my exact list (as I save pretty much all campaign games). <br/>
<br/>
But, two tank sections aren't going to cut it. A batallion of engineers??? several companies of engineers or something? Those are ...

<t>Hi, "From Utah to the Rhine" is absolutely on of the better campaigns. I must honestly say that I thought the first scenario to be rather a little too easy. I believe the first scenario in a campaign should one of the more difficult ones in it, because then you'll have to spend a lot of your ...

I can assure you that when our buildings collapse you will not die, LOL!

Regards,

Pantherblaster

<t>Here's basically what my list was (not complete):<br/>
<br/>
-1 Rifle Company (MG42's)<br/>
-1 Engineer Platoon<br/>
-2 Inf-AT Section<br/>
-1 MMG Section (MG42)<br/>
-2 Recon Team Sections<br/>
-1 Sniper<br/>
<br/>
-1 PzkwIVfs-2 Platoon<br/>
-1 PzkwIVfs-2 Section<br/>
-1 Flammpanzer-II Platoon ...

Ah, yes another campaign. But, hey I'm a greedy fellow so I want MORE!!!! You don't have time to talk about this new campaign, go get me some more (please), get back to work private!!!!

And good luck keep up the great work buddies!

Pantherblaster

<t>I want to thank all of you for your tips and hints! Yes Bill, I do enjoy playing this campaign as it makes me reconsider some of my succesful campaign strategies as they don't seem to apply here, which I think is a good thing, thinking keeps you sharp.<br/>
