What are the truly great BK and RT single mission maps that could/should be made into chapters? Preferably ones that have historic content rather than just being non-specific as to time and place.

I think that some North Africa items should be organized. I mean, you did a very good job with the first Rommel's offensive and now could be an idea to organize Gazala, Tobruk, Alam el Alfa, El Alamein and so on. Yes, we have already Burning Horizons, but...

Okay, so name some existing single-mission maps that were particularly good, and I'll see if I can use them.

There are less great missions than we presume: Smolensk 1943 by Zarko, Kharkov by Zigfrid, a fir tree for stalin by Dmitry, Hero of the soviet union, Tula, Battle of Tichwin by Zarko, Sapolje by Baumi are good maps to the soviets.
Some guys enjoied Russian Advance, made by Leon and with some touchs by myself. There are several others but were used in the campaign "Moscow to Berlin".
BTW, if you will make chapters, I strong recommend you convert it to GZM, it gives a new life to old missions.

You are right, bb. Maybe we should think about a sort of "Total Africa Mod" which puts together NAM, EA and DAK mod. Well, just fantasies...

IMO Africa, aside from the usual need for new maps, is pretty well covered. NAM already takes practically everything from DAK, nothing to combine there, as well as many elements of the Italian mod v2 by kaoz. GZM-7 also includes some Africa missions, but given the larger scope of the campaigns, the theater in itself is IMO not represented very well, primarily lacking new, better maps. EA is a pretty dedicated standalone mod, and I see no point in adjoining it to other mods other than to just be able to claim a larger, artificially expanded scope for the mod. bb: I think I'll be converting some US missions from NAM to GZM-7. But the theater IMO needs to have a stand-alone mod that covers the battles chronologically, which doesn't allow for any interruptions between mid-1940 and early 1943, which would obviously mess with a lot of other critical operations one would like to see in an Allied[UK-commonwealth]/german campaign.

Italian mod has the finest collection of DAK, plus all italian stuff created by Dunkel, plus a massive collection of MP's newest units, plus most of the original italian mod, plus a lot of new buildings.
The mod will soon be ready (finally), as i recently received the last props that needed added.
I might forsee a temporary download, as the maps and chapters still ask for a lot of time!

Played the mission Village Skirmish by Vytiaz in my GZM instalation. Very nice map, even with a "cold" start. You should try.
