We try to post the Dirty Dozen early each month. So it will likely be very soon after January 1st.

The collection for January looks very good. Lots of different theaters, years, etc.

I was mainly encouraging someone else to go for a SCW campaign. So far, the scenarios have been enough of a challenge for me.

There are two more campaigns:

A fictional Germany vs Czech 1938 campaign called 'Prague, first step' and one Finland vs URSS 1939. Both campaigns are done by Martino Verdelli and they could be downloaded at my web site:

Bye.

Excellent web site, BB! You've really done a good job with it. I like the layout and the content. I'm sure our Italian Cohorts are enjoying your efforts.

I'm considering a campaign on the Italian Alpini troops 41-43, so if you have anything at all on that subject, would you let me know?

Grazi!

Wild Bill

I've do a reply in your thread: ' A Request to my Centurions of Italy '... suggesting to follow the 4th Alpine Div. 'Cuneense' that fought in many theatres of war between 1940-43.

I don't have many information about these campaigns, I own only a very big book with all Italian operations in Russia. I could take a look on it but I need time to make an abstract and translate it in english.

Next week I'm in vacation (It's time for winter sports ) so I could do the job...

Wild Bill, Brutto Bob's page had a link on it to a campaign that came from the Raiders Arsenal back in April of 02, I believe. . Pz Abt 013. That link doesn't contain that campaign anymore. Is there any way to find it again? (Ok I missed that download).
I searched the archives and didn't see it there either.

Thanks if you can help (and even if you can't)

I don't have it, Jim. Sorry. I remember it being mentioned as a work in progress but I can't recall who was doing it. So much for senility.

Write B-Bob and see if he can help you with it...WB

Thanks Bill, (I always called them Senior Moments, sounded a little better than that S word).

While I was checking my backup machine for a zip of Drive to Tunisia I found two more campaigns there that I don't remember getting. Normandy Nightmare and American Crusaders. Nothing in the text file mentions who did them and all I can tell is that I downloaded them back in may 02.
thanks, John.

I did.

They were never finished.

Normandy Nightmare was meant to be focused on 1 SS Pz Corps in Normandy based on the book Steel Inferno, but I have my doubts about focusing on the SS, don't really like 'em very much.

American Crusaders was meant to be an American campaign following the 743rd Tank Bn from Normandy to Germany (29th and 30th Inf Divs). Decided that it would be much too similar to Utah to the Rhein.

Thanks for the zips , John. I have no idea how I'm going to find the time to try to play everything, but it's a nice quandry to be in.

I found the link to drive to Tunisia

That no longer works, I have been informed of the new location of the file:

http://www.student.oulu.fi/~tjama/c15.zip

Seems that link doesn't go anywhere now, I guess it's expired.
You wouldn't have the zip, would you?

I found it in a pile of backups. I'll send it shortly.
thanks, John.

Don you don't appear to have the Chosin Reservoir campaign at the Raider HQ website at Military Gamer Online. That is the only one I see missing...WB

I have 4 that it doesn't look like you have:

1. The Battle for Moscow
2. Drive to Tunisia (British)
3. Raiders of the Sahara- LRDG ( again British)
4. PzAbt 013 (Eastern Front).

Interested? Some of these are pretty large zips that are over forum limits.

Send me a PM with an email address and I will see what I can do, although it will probably be Monday before I can send them.

Thanks for the help. I should have about 30 in a few.

(I have about 15 going on right now, I can not tell which I like best I have one German Camp from Pol going that is fun, and a German 44 with King Tigers that is a blast. I also am having fun with the Red Steel 1.4. Also I am doing a long British Camp in NA in 40 that is fun too. Oh an a Marnie one.....lol)

There are more in the works, Jim. SPWAW will be around for awhile and I intend to make the most of it. I wonder if I will outlive the game
