Status: offline 		Thought you might be interested - I am a regular Steel Beasts player (which got me interested in Flashpoint Campaigns) and last night the virtual unit I am in tested a scenario on a map just to the west of Hameln, and including the western part of the town and the Weser Bridges that are fought over in Pied Piper.

In fact for the NATO forces - Brits with Challengers, Warriors and Scimitars, one of the Weser bridges was the main objective.

Here's a couple of screens from the AAR showing the map and the Weser bridges - pretty cool to fight in in an area I'd just finished smashing up in Red Storm!

Multiplayer, Panta. I'm in BG ANZAC, which is a VU mostly made up of current or ex-armour officers. This was testing a scenario a member (Panzer Leader) made.

Status: offline 		Multiplayer is great, I used to meet with a group of US players and am planning to start over. The problem is that I am precisely in the worst possible meridian, UTM -2, thus when it is the right time for the other chaps, it is too early or too late for me...But it was great fun, I even made a few scenarios they still are at the SBP page) and we tested them.

Status: offline 		I too play Steel Beasts regularly and agree that these two games FPRS and SBPE actually compliment each other. The only thing different from you guys is that I belong to a VU which plays the Soviet side.

Not as much as the western vehicles but we are getting there. Playable or crewable OPFOR vehicles include BDRM-2, BTR-80, T-72M, T-72M1 and T-62. Without the fancy optics it makes for some interesting fights.
