- Fulda Gap
- North German Plains
- Danube Front

And why ? :-)

Ease to find PBEM opponents is a plus

Thanks

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

A real time waster.

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.

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

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.

I can see how to load battles but no full dynamic campaign.
Did I miss something ?
Thx.

Status: offline 		Not sure if I'm understanding the question correctly, but the campaigns are basically just one big battle, so a scenario just like all the others (but bigger). Usually the campaign's name is rather obvious, so you should find it if you scroll through the various scenarios.

Status: offline 		oh ok, so it's not like JTS Waterloo. In Waterloo you have a campaign mode and the full campaign is made of several successive scenarios.
Will have a second look at Danube then,
Thanks

That's strange, I don't have Waterloo but have some of the other Napoleonic titles, and it is the same way as I described for Danube. None of the JTS games I have (about 10-12) have that kind of dynamic campaign.

Status: offline 		In Waterloo you start the game with a different .exe whether you want the campaign mode or the regular battle mode ...
for example: cp_start.exe launches the campaign mode while cpw.exe launches the regular scenario game.
