Hello Everyone!

I have a new scenario and a map for download at my web site. This scenario was done for me by my good friend Fabio back in v2.3. I updated the scenario to SPWaWv4.2. Hunting The Tiger. The map is done by me. It's a Desert hills Oasis map with roads, hills, oasis, trees, trails, a village, rocks, boulder, rough, stream and swamps. Makes for very tough battles.

I hope you all enjoy.

Hello Everybody!

Ok I got more goodies for you to download today. New scenario from my good friend Fabio Prado. Tankhead's Day Of The Tiger. Plus my good friend Wild Bill Wilder has giving me 6 new maps. All for you to enjoy.

The Scenario

Here are your orders for the day my Col Tankhead.
You have at your disposal, 4 Tiger tanks,
2 88mm Pak43 ATG, 2 Wirbelwinds, 3 GE PzSchreck.
Our intelligence as inform us of a massive British armored task force
approaching our lines of defense. You are to stop the British at all cost.
If you fails you will be sent to the Eastern Front as a cannon fodder.
Dear Col Tankhead do not fail us on this great day of battle.

Ok folks are you up to the task of making sure I'm not sent to
the Eastern Front. I hear it is horrible over there.
I hope you enjoy this scenario as I did.

Hello Chief!

I'm glad you enjoy the site and more happy that you will return.

You are the lucky one if the game runs good for you with only 24mb of ram. Do you have sound also?

Tankhead: Not only do I have sound I've even downloaded 4.3b and it works great. I don't know how it's doing it but I'm going to live it up until it quits. I even have PG2, Silent Hunter,and Steel panthers III not to mention some other software and additional scenarios and campaigns for all of the above, presently installed and working.

Not bad for an old machine.

Tankhead: I once wanted to up-date this mack hine but then I started reading all the problems people were having with installs, drivers and machine speed, so I stayed slow.
I may upgrade RAM and disc but pentium speed is good enough for me. I use in mainly for wargamming anyhow so as long as I stay away from 3d I should be ok....now if I can beat the enemy I'll be happy

Hey Chief if it ain't broken don't fix it.

Now to beat the enemy well that's a different kettle of fish.

Hello Everyone!

Ok I have a new historical scenario for download at my web site. Clash At Hosigen by KG Zimmer.

Clash at Hosingen
Historical Scenario
German Assault
USA vs Germany
Hosingen Luxembourg
December 17, 1944
Turns: 12
Command control off

Design: KG Zimmer

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

On 16 Dec 1944 "K" Company 110th Infantry Regiment, "B" Company 28th Infantry Div. And an AT Platoon from 110th Infantry Regiment's Cannon Company where defending Hosingen Luxembourg when the Germans launched their last major offensive of the war on the western Front "Wacht am Rhein". On the Dec 16 the German forces, 77th and 38th VG Rgt's, 26VG Div bypassed Hosingen with minimal contact. At Dusk on 17 Dec elements of the 26FE Abt was given the task of attacking Hosingen from the North and 1st Bn 78th VG Rgt was to attack from the East along with elements from the 1026Jgpz Kompanie and 26VG Pioniere Abt and secure the town and crossroads. Hosingen was on the Div.'s main supply route. The attackers found the defenders to well dug in and ended up fighting house by house for the control of Hosingen. On the morning of 18 Dec the survivors defending the southern part of the town surrendered to the attackers. By holding out, the defenders helped stall the German drive to the Meuse.

The scenario takes place at dusk on the 17th. The defenders have been reinforced with a Platoon of Shermans from "B" Company 707th Tk Bn that arrived late afternoon on 16 Dec. The German player has 12 turns to capture the town of Hosingen and the bridge. The computer does a OK job attacking.
