nukkxx5058 -> Fulda, North Plains, or Danube ? (1/16/2020 4:48:32 PM)

Can't decide by myself. Which JTS Modern Campaign do you recommend among these 3 cold war JTS titles?

- Fulda Gap
- North German Plains
- Danube Front

And why ? :-)

Ease to find PBEM opponents is a plus

Thanks



comte -> RE: Fulda, North Plains, or Danube ? (1/17/2020 4:17:01 AM)

Danube Front has a combined map of all 3 games into one mega campaign!

Wow ! This certainly is a good point ! Thank you for the info.



nukkxx5058 -> RE: Fulda, North Plains, or Danube ? (1/17/2020 5:36:18 AM)

Just one more question: which one is the latest release among the 3 ? I never see the release date on JTS site ...



Kuokkanen -> RE: Fulda, North Plains, or Danube ? (1/17/2020 6:55:30 AM)

What wars are those titles about?

OK, I cracked and I took "Danube". [:'(][:'(][:'(]



ringoblood -> RE: Fulda, North Plains, or Danube ? (1/17/2020 4:53:58 PM)

Nice good choice, one of my favs buddy. [;)]



comte -> RE: Fulda, North Plains, or Danube ? (1/17/2020 7:52:15 PM)

Danube is a good choice try the "Bolt out of the Blue scenario"



Vasquez -> RE: Fulda, North Plains, or Danube ? (1/18/2020 9:58:52 PM)

Jon Tillers Danube Front is great. Insane map from Denmark through Germany to the Alps in Austria.

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

A real time waster.

Then it sounds like no fun. [;)]

Thinking outside the box, have you looked at other 'modern NATO-PACT' sims like Armored Brigade, Steel Beasts
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.

Combat Mission Shock Force 2, and Black Sea are also great. You can use the turn base instead of real time by the way.



Rosseau -> RE: Fulda, North Plains, or Danube ? (1/21/2020 12:48:33 AM)

Funny how you could have avoided giving John Tiller all your money all of these years, nukkxx5058! I haven't had that problem, but am happy for it. I do know that a number of people got familiar with the company during the sale. A great move on JTS' part.

How I missed the JTS series is a mystery. The universe is vast and complex. And full of mysteries... [&:] [&:][&:]

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

[:D]

This is scary !![X(]



jimi3 -> RE: Fulda, North Plains, or Danube ? (1/21/2020 1:30:49 PM)

Be warned. I have 44 JTS on my hard drive. Obviously I'm a huge fan and have been for many years. There is a great
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.



nukkxx5058 -> RE: Fulda, North Plains, or Danube ? (1/23/2020 5:43:20 PM)

Just a quick question : is it me or there's no campaign mode in Danube ?
I can see how to load battles but no full dynamic campaign.
Did I miss something ?
Thx.



76mm -> RE: Fulda, North Plains, or Danube ? (1/23/2020 6:01:42 PM)

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.



nukkxx5058 -> RE: Fulda, North Plains, or Danube ? (1/23/2020 6:09:10 PM)

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.



nukkxx5058 -> RE: Fulda, North Plains, or Danube ? (1/23/2020 8:45:07 PM)

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.
