Fulda, North Plains, or Danube ?

[nukkxx5058]

Can't decide by myself. Which JTS Modern Campaign do you recommend among these 3 cold war JTS titles?

- Fulda Gap
- North German Plains
- Danube Front

And why ?

Ease to find PBEM opponents is a plus

Thanks

Danube Front has a combined map of all 3 games into one mega campaign!

Wow ! This certainly is a good point ! Thank you for the info.

Just one more question: which one is the latest release among the 3 ? I never see the release date on JTS site ...

What wars are those titles about?

What wars are those titles about?

1985 Hypothetical Warsaw Pact invading Western Europe (defended by NATO).
What if Cold War went hot ?

OK, I cracked and I took "Danube". [:'(][:'(][:'(]

Nice good choice, one of my favs buddy. [;)]

Danube is a good choice try the "Bolt out of the Blue scenario"

Jon Tillers Danube Front is great. Insane map from Denmark through Germany to the Alps in Austria.

And the whole Warsaw Pact against the Nato contingent in Europe and the complete Western German Army.

A real time waster.

Then it sounds like no fun. [;)]

Thinking outside the box, have you looked at other 'modern NATO-PACT' sims like Armored Brigade, Steel Beasts
or Flashpoint Campaigns Red Storm/Germany Reforged.
The later (Flashpoint Campaigns) is IMO a fantastic sim,
game scale is 500m per hex with Platoon / Company manouver units.
captures the 'flavour' really well.

Hi,for me real time is normally a no-go so no armored brigade for me (the excpetion to this rule being a hard core simulator like CMANO). Otherwise Flashpoint is a GREAT soft. I really love it since the begining (FP Germany back many years ago) and I'm definitely waiting for southern storm.
But JTS is definitely my greatest discovery of the year ! Having so much fun at Waterloo as the Emperor !
So Danube seems the prefect choice so far.

Combat Mission Shock Force 2, and Black Sea are also great. You can use the turn base instead of real time by the way.

Funny how you could have avoided giving John Tiller all your money all of these years, nukkxx5058! I haven't had that problem, but am happy for it. I do know that a number of people got familiar with the company during the sale. A great move on JTS' part.

How I missed the JTS series is a mystery. The universe is vast and complex. And full of mysteries... [&:] [&:][&:]

Beware that’s your collector bone speaking, the part of you that isn’t satisfied until you have all titles.

This is scary !![X(]

[jimi3]

Be warned. I have 44 JTS on my hard drive. Obviously I'm a huge fan and have been for many years. There is a great
app that keeps all the games together. The support is amazing. Pick a period in history and enjoy !!! Also there
is a great mod community out there.

Just a quick question : is it me or there's no campaign mode in Danube ?
I can see how to load battles but no full dynamic campaign.
Did I miss something ?
Thx.
