Matrix is now recruiting testers for Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm's upcoming beta.

On a brand new game engine experience Cold War 1980s with the US, USSR, West-German, British, French, East-German, Czechoslovakian and Canadian forces.

Players will fight battles and campaigns over 40 different maps with a wide array of Cold War equipment from the eight nations. That equipment included aircraft, helicopters, tanks, IFVs, APCs, mobile and fixed SAMs, self-propelled and towed artillery and rocket launchers, command vehicle, recon vehicles, many flavors of infantry, and others.

I'm the lead developer for this and we are super-pumped to finally be in beta. It has been a long time coming and we think you will be amazed at the progress from the Red Storm days. We kept the best of what we had before and made it deeper and slicker in every way we could.

Enjoy, Rob Crandall

Hello,

I tried to register for the beta but it did not work .... and neither did the support (I got an error message telling me a Local account could not be created).

At any rate, I have put together a detailed ORBAT for the French army between 1984 and 1989 (based on French sources - there are lots of mistakes, even in Isby ...), and do have some pretty good ideas as to the tactics and strategy that could be used, so please feel free to contact me (I am also on the FB Cold War page).

Did you get enough testers? I can apply if you need more?



cristianwj -> RE: Join the Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm Beta (10/29/2021 12:22:38 AM)

Good news, and I have sent my application.



CapnDarwin -> RE: Join the Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm Beta (11/1/2021 12:11:04 PM)

If you wish to get on the Beta-Testing list, please sign-up using the link above. We should be starting to get people soon. [8D]



GiveWarAchance -> RE: Join the Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm Beta (11/3/2021 7:41:26 AM)

Thank you for making a new game, although I still like the first Flashpoint Red Storm and Germany.
I wonder what 'southern storm' refers to. Africa invades Europe? Brazil lands an army in Florida? India takes on Russia? Vietnam overruns China? Hmmmm



cristianwj -> RE: Join the Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm Beta (11/3/2021 8:09:30 AM)

I think "southern strom" contains battles in south of Germany, like Bavaria or Northern Italy with Soviet, Czech Slovakia or Yugoslavia.



GiveWarAchance -> RE: Join the Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm Beta (11/3/2021 9:17:04 AM)

okay thanks christian



CapnDarwin -> RE: Join the Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm Beta (11/3/2021 12:19:59 PM)

Southern Germany with East-German, Czech, Soviet, French, Canadian, West-German, and US forces. More information and details will be coming in a few weeks. [8D]



GiveWarAchance -> RE: Join the Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm Beta (11/3/2021 5:01:23 PM)

Oh good a lot of army types on both sides. Even the French with their intrepid AMXs and Leclerc tanks will be fun.
I know very little geography. Is this first Flashpoint game only about the middle part of Germany? The famous Fulda Gap?



CapnDarwin -> RE: Join the Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm Beta (11/3/2021 9:17:45 PM)

Leclerc did not field until the 90s and our game covers the 80s.



GiveWarAchance -> RE: Join the Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm Beta (11/5/2021 1:26:42 AM)

Ah it missed the Cold War.... or hot cold war. I wonder what the French had to work with before that. They seemed seemed well equipped way back in Indochina so guess they maintained a good military. I wonder what their morale was like after some stigma from WW2 and then the public wanting out of Indochina? I guess they had some success in Africa. An Africa version of this game would be fun too in the same era as the Cold War.



dvphimself -> RE: Join the Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm Beta (11/7/2021 2:47:30 PM)

Red Storm has a lot of action a ways north of Fulda, almost up to Hanover and then across towards the dutch border.
I'm just guessing but Bavaria seems likely for southern storm? Perhaps a push from Czechoslovakia to Munich there are some good plains. But who knows someone else suggested Vietnam attacking China so we'll have to wait and see.

Quick question on the beta: I signed up for it, but never got notified that I had been selected. However, it appears in "My Betas" on "My Page" on the Matrix site. Was I selected? If so, I can't access the beta forum. The developers can PM me for any insight into this issue.



CapnDarwin -> RE: Join the Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm Beta (11/19/2021 12:08:05 AM)

If you are in the small first group you should get an email tomorrow. There is some issue with a beta page and broken link at the moment.



CV60 -> RE: Join the Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm Beta (11/20/2021 11:45:03 PM)

Thanks for the reply. I did get an email, but the link appears not to work. I get a message that says:

"Access is Denied.
You either don't have the right to access or have attempted to access private area."




CapnDarwin -> RE: Join the Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm Beta (11/21/2021 12:59:42 AM)

CV60, see if you have a new email from late yesterday. There was some issue with the logins that has been resolved.



CV60 -> RE: Join the Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm Beta (11/21/2021 4:30:30 PM)

I don't have a new email in my box. Can you resend?



CapnDarwin -> RE: Join the Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm Beta (11/21/2021 4:33:57 PM)

CV, I will pass this along to Erik and see if he can ping the MAtrix folks tomorrow. Check your spam/junk email folders too.



CV60 -> RE: Join the Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm Beta (11/21/2021 5:51:51 PM)

Thanks for checking with Eric. I doubled checked the spam folder. No Joy. ;-(



CapnDarwin -> RE: Join the Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm Beta (11/21/2021 9:39:53 PM)

pieth, Make sure to comment on things in the Beta Forum and not in the open forums here. I'm going to delete your comments here.

Thanks.



pieth -> RE: Join the Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm Beta (11/22/2021 9:36:59 AM)

Apologies



CapnDarwin -> RE: Join the Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm Beta (11/22/2021 12:41:32 PM)

pieth, no problem. Just want to keep things under wraps.

Hi CV60,

I'm not seeing your user name on our list. Could you please e-mail a copy of the e-mail you received to erikr@matrixgames.com and annys@slitherine.co.uk?
