Thanks to twoeyes and pip for the M26.

Can't wait to try it. The historical web page is loaded with very detailed engagement information, much more than I've ever seen before on this well-documented event from March 1945. Reading about the actual men involved in the two tank kills and each of their fates is quite humbling.

Congrats on bringing a small piece of history to life!

Cool! Played it on BA and it's a fun scenario. Can't wait to try it on BA2!

Nice map Petcat... Thanks for creating such a cool historical... Can't wait to try out your M26!

[morge4]

Just played it on BA2...great! One issue, there are no victory conditions or victory flags in the BA2 campaign? the BA1 campaign did have them. Not sure if that is by design or not. Still a great scenario either way, just thought I would point it out.

Keep up the great work!

Nah I just forgot to put them in as it reverts them to 0 coordinates.
I'll try and find some time to update it.

[morge4]

No problem. so you just have to eliminate all the German units to win...that's ok.

[Petcat]

Thanks for reporting that.
The new improved map with VP's!

Could I please get a .LST URL? I don't have the PC version and would like to play it on the iPad (I have to manually insert the URL and it has to link to a .LST file directly)

This is a good opportunity to request from the devs an easier way(s) to import custom maps for the iPad version. Without even cut and paste it's a chore, and I think would encourage people less fanatical about the game then we on this forum to play the game more often and perhaps contribute a mod of their own; which would be good for everyone.

Keep up the good work.

You can paste on the iPad, just use the + button to paste in something you have copied from the forum or an email.

Here is a shorter link if you still want to type it in:

Sorry don't have an Ipad to test it but should work as Pip says.
Please let me know if this works.

Hi again Petcat..Are you able to provide a link with a .lst extension at the end. I need that to paste into the address bar on the iPad version, which I'm stoked that I can do now thanks to Pip!

Cheers

[Petcat]

Hi Moosemilk
The link should work on Ipad.
Is the link working for you?
Thanks for asking.

[pipfromslitherine]

@Moosemilk - the bitly url that he provided does indeed download a .LST file so you can use that

Cheers

Pip
