who? when? where? but mainly what? ... QUOTE Guys, I believe everyone here have the same feeling: we are very close to the end. Today, we have very few active players and most of us developers suffers with the lack of feedbacks.

Guys, I'm not having answers from any of my testers longfellow and tedi88, I'm sure they will pop up soon in the forums, Still, I would like to have a "B" plan to help me finish this project. So, here is the situation, the campaign is 99% ready, 98% tested, the problem is I'm a big megalomaniac and I decided to make 4 new maps and convert 3 more maps, these maps need to be tested. Also there are 3 maps I made some changes asked by Tedi88 which needs to be tested. So, If someone is interested to test it, please send me a PM and I can give you a single player version of these maps to be tested. Still, I'm confident "The youngest senior in the world!!!" will be around again very soon...

About the campaign: The new version have 65 maps 35 were made by Ocelo to the original GPW campaign or to GZM, most of then received a visual overhauling, in some of then I fixed scripts, changed units and rebalanced it. A couple of mission suffered a total remake. 12 mission are new, totally made by myself. Well, by totally I mean the script, the storyline, the chose of units and so on, because everybody knows I allways use maps preview released as a base to my maps. 9 missions are completly remake. This mean I used a previous released map and changed a lot, most of times I changed the sides the season, etc. but I kept the original scripts (with some changes sometimes). 9 missions are just adaptations. I took previous released maps and just made some visually changes, units and so on. But I tried not to use the much explored maps made by Dmitry M. or Manhunter, for example.
There are 12 chapters, the first covers the Winter War, until the battle of Vyborg. The 2nd is totally new, about the soviet invasion of Poland, with battle of Grodno as the most important one. The 3rd is about the battles around the Soviet borders, the chapter is almost the same of the original GPW, but I added two more adapted maps. The defence of Kiev chapter is very different now, I tried to make it more historical with new maps, adaptations and remakes. Is probably one of the hardest chapters of the campaign. Nest chapter is Moscow, I made some little changes and added one new map. Stalingard chapter is also completly changed, now it covers from the Kharkov offensive to Operation Uranus. In the original GPW the battle of Kursk was understimated, so I added two more maps, also I changed a lot Ocelo's Battle of Prokhorovka because in my opinion it were unbalanced, the mission ends with the liberation of Smolensk (is another scenario but I really wanted to use Zarko's Smolensk map, one of the best I played). Another new chapter is about the battles of Ukraine between 1943-1944, Kerch, Zhitomir and other battles were covered. The Budapest campaign is a new one too, I used here the maps made by Ocelo to GZM some time ago. The 11th chapter is about the Eastern Prussia Offensive, I removed one of the original maps and added 3 more maps. The Berlim chapter is almost the same I just put one more map (I confess, a Manhunter map!) but the last mission was improved a lot.
that's it. Have fun. BB
The campaign was fully tested, but with 65 maps and some bugs could escaped, so please report if you have any.
