After almost 1 year commited with my campaign I finally have spare time to play a little more. I'd be glad to hear some sugestions about maps (olds and news) which deserved to be played. I have a preference for the eastfront. I also like early maps (1939-42) about all the fronts (but not the African front ). I'm not a big fan of MK mod. Kind a hard to find a good map, dont you agree... LOL

I prefer mr.frosts Maps and chapters or the MK-Maps. I like the scenario easternfront 41/42 but there aren`t so many good maps Stanenberg Edit, 6.1.13 (no doublepost ;D): bb did you try "Schlachtfeld Europa" for heimatfront mod by cc_commander/Eiszeit? It`s a very challenging campainge and the mapping is awesome! Stanenberg

Hi,
today i found another old beauty: April1945 by tronis for the Panzerwaffen mod
A quite good small berlin map on the soviet side. Good balacing and use of units and also nice mapping! Download: www.mediafire.com/?1nymqmyyjni
btw: i think this is quite good thread and i think its very sad that there is so little action in this thread because the idea is quite cool!
come on. Post some of your favourites guys
greets, Stanenberg

Hi Stanenberg, actually I tried "Schlachtfeld Europa" but I couldnt pass even the first map (few units, and I dont like maps where you must reload all the time). I'm enjoing to play "Schlachtfeld Russland: Heeresgruppe Süd", campaign by Brendel. Usually I dont like his works, but this campaign is good.

Hi BB,
Schlachtfeld Europa is really difficult. I need about 8 hours for each mission. You have to advance VERY slowly or reload all the time, but for me, that was ok. I`m really bored of many maps and chapters because they are too easy. I loved the campaign because of the mapping. I think Eiszeit is the best Mapper of all time! He put so many details in his maps, that a can`t see the single objects and floras. Just great!
I would NEVER play Brendels maps because: - his maps are undetailed and very ugly - he stole some maps from mr.frost without asking for permission and sell them as his own ones - he stole skins from Mission: Kursk and Mission: Barbarossa - he said some "interesting" things about the german blitzkrieg community
so, thats my opinion of brendels maps .
greets, Stanenberg

yes, I know about this, however, his most recently maps are getting better. Most are easy, but they have a good sense of operations in deep, quite close to La Plata maps, for example. And after 10 years I just can appreciate someone is still making commercial projects with BK, but I'm aware about the ethic issues you said. Today I'm a very lazy player and I simple cant play too hard maps, If I need to reload more than two times In a single map I probably would quit. So, if you like hard maps you should try some made by Kaoz, I think in some of his maps he made a very good use of terrain but most are impossible for a lazy player as myself.

Hi, BB, don't you think it's time to move to contemporary warfare; designing maps for Middle East or hypothetical NATO x CCCP scenarios? I'd love to play some of it!

Hi Mascarenhas2, I tried some maps of Ice Crusade in my last vacations, but in my opinion the tanks explode too easy...

I'm playing "Mission Barbarossa", chapter to MB mod made by Manhunter. Very fun missions if you enjoy big scenarios with massive use of units, and those ranges are not so bad after all, LOL.

Personaly i think that's more immersive when the range are longer than in vanilla BK, generally rushing with tanks means losing your tanks, so you must use infantry(the officer's binoculars have longer line of sight) in first line if you want to keep safe your armor units. Using smoke screen is excelent in these add-ons (because smoke stay longer), etc, etc...

So, Do you like MB/MK ranges now?? This is an old controversy . Sometimes I like to play MB because I prefer early war maps and I like the sounds, skins and effects of this mod, so I can appreciate the ranges too. MK I almost didnt play, but I finished Frosty's "Road to Stalingrad". However, I get easily tired of the dumb way the enemy tanks act in MK\MB, also in my opinion infantry is almost useless on these mods, It would be better if infantry was stronger as in GZM. Actually, my favorite mod is GZM, but I like PZWF and I still enjoy to play the good and old vanilla (with lots of mods), this is the nice thing about BK community, there are mods and games for all tastes. I just sorry we have so few mappers in activity today.
