If you like Campaign Corinth check this site out:

http://www.seibel.via.t-online.de/download.htm

There are several people out there doing conversions of older talonsoft titles for HPS's newer Corinth versions. I think there might be a link there too, for Panzers at War series variations.

[B]hey thats cool thanks. [/B][/QUOTE]No problem. You can also check out this site. Not just for current HPS designs but Talonsoft titles too.

Just for your information, you can only use user created maps on Campaign Eckmuhl ver 1.01a. Any version above won't allow user created maps. So far, the current version of Campaign Corinth will. Another warning: It is strongly advised that you make a seperate copy of your original game and call it something like Campaign Corinth 2. That way you can keep the original game clean, and have a seperate copy just to run the user created battles.

If you ever buy Campaign Eckmuhl, here's where you can get the 101a patch. HPS doesn't make it available anymore.

Have fun.

I've got kursk 43...

So far a pretty good game but i think in the longer games, the possibility for any german player to come out with even a draw is quite limited a best.

I think the adjustable point values might be needed.

I played the southern campaign against a veteran panzer campaigner(this being my only 2nd opponent for PzC). Within 15 turns out of the 90 given he tossed in the towel due to being completely bogged down.

We are going to switch sides and I am not looking forward to being bogged down in probably less than 15 turns :( The game play is fun however....

I still have yet to try out the smaller scenarios...probably will have more victory level balance in those.

How well does HPS' Smolensk '41 compare to SPI's Panzergruppe Guderian?

Interestingly, I consider S'41 to be the best in the series, even though it was the first. Both games are great (still have my old, beat up copy of PzGp Guderian). However, S'41 benefits from a more detailed an accurate OOB.
