Good evening fellow blitzers, I have added a link to 17 maps/chapters from previous posts in this thread in an attempt to bring some of the older maps and their creators back into the spotlight. I thought about individually naming the maps then decided it might be better to list the artists themselves. The link will take you to a folder to a folder ""out of the box"" meaning these maps/chapters require nothing to run other than what the prefix indicates ie [BK] [RT] [PZWFN] etc so have fun and enjoy. There are some real classics here... maybe they will inspire a redux or two. 1drv.ms/1u3Qa17thanks to (in no particular order) bb LouisXIV keepitsimple Ocelo altheogre Desert fritzlang finlander Folgore corpbob vonosten Stanenberg czenio iLeeT_PeeP ecan tedi88This link does not include maps from this thread that are already on the onedrive (I don't have the extra space) and maps/chapters that require special mods/paks to make them work. The latter will follow ASAP. All info regarding the maps such as size , location and additional credits etc can be found in this thread and I can give assistance if required. I hope they will be of use to the ""Old Guard"" as well as the newer members. Errors and omissions are welcomed...feed back not COE but feel free to voice your thoughts...it's your forum. My specs for running the maps are XP, BK NOT in the program files folder (thanks to the various veterans for that tip) and nothing special in the way of hardware..Have fun Thanks to all Had to add this...treat ""[BK] IcyCage"" as a mod..see original post if you don't know how to do it...

I recommend the Knights Cross for you!
Those mission titles bring back fond memories of great battles fought.
Icy Cage was made by my friend Wespex and I was the tester for it.

I strongly suggest that you copy the "read me" file inside. Keep it close by. The objectives are difficult. Wespex was a believer and mapper in trying to get the AI as reactive as possible to the humans move. He tried very hard to work on the attack\counter-attack "ying\yang" of armored warfare. He made sure, if you played wisely, you would have enough forces to complete it all.
He made at least two more missions if I remember right. One with North Africa and another in Russia. There maybe more.

Good morning all, This post will be a WIP for older scenarios/chapters from this thread which require some additional mods/paks to make them run. What I originally thought would an easy task for the 10 or so maps/chapters has ultimately turned into a week of trial and error and hair pulling partly because of my inexperience and partly because of the emergence of an older set of MP units designed by LouisXIV for some of his work (thanks to Scyooff for bringing them to my attention). Now the veterans know how everything works but I didn't so I have tried to approach it from a new member's or potential new member's point of view...that being said ""Old Guard"" ( especially keepitsimple ) please bear with me if my links and /or statements are overly simplified... stay tuned. The links either take you to a folder which includes the map and what is needed to run it or in the case of MP units a link to the map AND a link to the folder which includes the appropriate MP unit file. ..it may sound complex but just follow along with me. 1drv.ms/1o52VGE ""Bizerte"" by altheogre ...if you are missing textures use the included skin pak.... if not all the better 1drv.ms/1xOsonT ""Belgium"" by LouisXIV needs this 1drv.ms/1xOthwD1drv.ms/1xOvt7g ""Poland"" by LoiusXIV needs this 1drv.ms/1xOthwD1drv.ms/1xOxmRw ""2CID"" by LouisXIV needs this 1drv.ms/1xOthwD1drv.ms/1rNoC9G ""Battle4France"" by LouisXIV needs this 1drv.ms/1xOthwD1drv.ms/1xOO8Qz ""HellsHighway"" by keepitsimple needs these 1drv.ms/1xOOK8P 1drv.ms/1o5xFYh ""MarketGarden"" by keepitsimple needs these 1drv.ms/1xOQOh31drv.ms/1o5zuEu ""Hurtgen"" by Gargantua needs these 1drv.ms/1xOQOh3 1drv.ms/1xOTZFe ""Juno"" by keepitsimple needs these 1drv.ms/1xOQOh3 (Note this BK version of map not RT) 1drv.ms/1xOVLGH ""Falaise"" by keepitsimple needs these 1drv.ms/1xOWlEg1drv.ms/1xOX8VL ""Tschujewo"" by Stanenberg one for the Stalingrad fans. Finally a link keepitsimple instructions about the direction in MPUnits is heading....my suggestion is print it, sleep with it, keep it in the bathroom as reading material but READ IT...it's invaluable IMHO 1drv.ms/1o5GFMRThat's all I have...and as with out of the box previous post I have not included anything which is already on my one drive..if I have well you've got 2 copies now..have fun. My personal specs still the same (see previous post) and thanks to all who made this list possible.

The first from my Kursk Maps:
Size: 15x15 Season: Summer Player Side: Germany AI Side: USSR Mod: MK + IF 3.0
Download
Notice that this map is some very special and experimental. I like it, but I expect a that a lot people wont like it. Don't be confused that the name of the mission is "Kursk03" and not Kursk01 .
greetings, Stanenberg

Put into my MK data and started the game and had a crash right from the start while loading the map. So I thought it was because I still had IF 3.2 installed. Took that out and put in IF 3.0 and it still crashed before loading.
I am in the process of trying to figure out why. Been looking forward to this mission.
