I ahve ehard romours that you can get one free mega campaign. Is this ture? and if it is how would I set about getting one.

You have to buy the General's Edition. Each of the four Mega's contained in it went for $25+ individually, so you effectively get charged for 3 when you buy all 4 in the GE.

It says I have Steel Panthers World at War than 4 golden stars generals editon. And Mega campaign section is empty, so i assume the version I have is a free version?

Yeah, Gunter. If your MCs are empty, you have the free version--which is not bad at all. For the closest thing to a MegaCampaign (and in some ways better because you get to change your core however you want) try playing Das Reich. It is not for the weak of heart, though. [;)]

Das Reich is a dif game rite?

Nah, Das Reich is a user-created campaign.

Some user-generated campaigns are included with the game. You can find them under Solitaire Play/Campaigns.

A good first campaign, if you haven't played one before, is Flesh and Steel. It's a good demonstration on the use of combined arms.

Some of my other favorites include 'From Utah to the Rhine,' 'Normandy Gold,' (can you tell I'm partial to the ETO? [;)]) and 'Raiders of the Sahara.'

Since Das Reich was finished last Christmas, it is not included in the Free core set. You have to download it, which you can do over at the Depot (http://www.spwaw.com). Make sure you register before you try and download.

Where do extranct it to?

The CAMPAIGNS folder. If you haven't downloaded any other campaigns it should uncompress in slot 39 which should be open.

Let me know if you have any other questions about the install. If you have questions about Das Reich, there's a discussion forum for it over at the Depot where you can get any questions answered. I am playing it myself right now and am about half way through--in Russia at the first battle at Kharkov. I play real slow, though. I bet you can finish before I do. [;)]

LOL probably not evan thoe I am a super fast ultra aggresive, idiot commander. I will extract it when I get to it I have a huge to do list including studing for my exams.

Two words, Gunter.

Study. Break.

[:D]

Oh I get plent of those for about every hour i study 2 hours of gaming

I got a question about Das Reich. In first scenerio I had to over run several lines of Polish bunker but by turn 5 I already had all the Flag hexes I had to capture but already after turn 7 the scenrio was not done. What is the problem?

You need to break the enemies morale also. Get their HQ unit, and inflict as many casualties as you can. That one can end early, IIRC. Some have hidden enemy vic hexes to prevent an early ending, I do not believe that was one.

Dam that is really stupid, I dont think my forces will be able to break I mean infantry and the few tanks I have. Stupid force moral.
