Hello everyone. Brand new to the forums, but have been playing Steel Panthers for many years, ever since I bought the first one in those ancient days, when 88s ruled because the third shot was always 99% accurate... oh wait, they still rule! 
Now the main reason I joined up was to report a ?bug with the new SPWAW 8.20 random campaign generator, and to ask for possible help and solutions. Whenever I try to generate a random campaign running from September '39 to June '45, 124 battles (yes I want to fight every month so I get to use all the equipment!), after the third or fourth battle I sent sent directly to April 1945, fighting alongside US troops against Russians in Leipzig!!! This has happened every time in the four campaigns I have tried so far, and it is very annoying, as SPWAW is otherwise an excellent game. My veteran Panzer IVs (IVc) are good, but not against T-34/85s and IS-2s... 
Reloading and trying again for another scenario does not solve the problem, and everything else I have tried so far has not been able to circumvent this problem. 
If someone knows a solution to this problem I would be very grateful (it is very frustrating!). Is there some file I have to change or delete to avoid this bug?
When I can find some free time (in a continuous stretch) I think I'll find some players online to play against, as the AI isn't much of a challenge... although I get to try amusing tactics like employing Sturmtigers to clear buildings (historically never happened) or paradropping infantry on top of enemy tanks to assault them...
If anyone can solve the aforementioned problem for me they will have my eternal gratitude :P
