Here is a screen shot of the campaign selections page. The campaigns are listed in order of the number of battles in them. As you can see from this shot there are two campaigns that have a single battle in them.

That allows for some different options than just making them a single scenario. Depends on what the goal is whether you make it a campaign or a scenario.

Good Hunting.

These are predone campaigns that have been playtested. As you can see from the SS the top button is for anyone wanting to do a random campaign. If you want a random campaign you simply click the button here and you are on your way.

Good Hunting.

Is the random campaign generated by the computer or do you set the parameters, such as year, geographic location, troop type, etc?

Status: offline 		The RBG and RBC haven't changed much since PCK. There are threads in the old forum about the details with screenshots.

Basically you pick a map and that will give you the season based on what that map was dated for. Then you can change the year. Then you can change just about everything else based on Month and Year.

EDIT here, looks more like post 26

Heinrich55


For Random Campaigns, you have a series of potential choices. You can choose from several 'formations' Infantry or Panzer Divisions, or a Russian tank corp. these selections are set up for different time periods, you can select how many battles you want play within that time frame. The computer will then create the Random campaign.

You can also design your own Random Campaigns, though this isn't a trivial undertaking, it's certainly doable.

Thanks,
Rick

Here we have the HT with the squad inside sitting next to the building.

The model looks great. Really sharp job.

MR, thanks for the shots for unloading and dashing into the nearby house. Approximately how far can you be from the house and still enter without a special order to do so? I would guess that would save time and perhaps save casualties if you could just make it as a continuation of the unloading from the halftrack.

As to the bogging, are there any orders to try and unbog that might improve your chances, such as reversing? Or, are you just waiting while the game determines a percentage of chance for unbogging?

Status: offline 		Ive been following PCOstfront for a while now and think things are coming along very well. I think the models of the vehicles are top notch, and the houses/buildings and trees are quite good. The only thing I don't think that looks nice is the ground. Winter/snow of course is ok, but the splotchy green/brown ground looks pixelated and out of focus. I find it distracting and hope something can be done to it before release...

The maps and the engine is designed to show the scenes best from above. I usually play the game as the 300' General not down at the ground level. There you have the best view of the many units you control.
