Disk Red Storm Campaign (Untested Conversion)

This was found on one of the old Steel Panthers related Yahoo groups (SPCAMOFILES).

It was originally done for SPMBT 2.0; and uploaded by ekapic in FEB 2004.

BTW; for a brief period, I thought this was "lost forever", due to Yahoo Groups being well, Yahoo Groups lately and giving me lots of "access denied" messages.

As with my other "rescues", this is a quick conversion to rescue it from oblivion.

RED STORM/KRASNYI SHTURM (RS) is a campaign designed for the SPCAMO's game SPMBT (Steel Panthers Main Battle Tank). It is based on the novel "Red Storm Rising" by Tom Clancy.

OVERVIEW

In RS, you are depicting a Soviet commander of the A-class 172nd Guards Motor-Rifle Regiment "Gnesnenski", inside the 39th Guards Motor-Rifle Division "Barenkovo" in 8th Guards Army, First Western Front, Western TVD. You will lead this regiment deep into the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), since June 15th 1988, the day the war begins. If successful, you will be transferred to the Persian Gulf to command your troops in the conquest of the Gulf oil fields.

YOUR FORCES

Your regiment is composed of three mechanized infantry battalions (equipped with tracked BMP-2 vehicles), one tank battalion (T-80 tanks) and attached artillery, air defence and engineers units. This will be your core force. In some battles, additional units may be temporarily put under your command.

In a typical Soviet Guards regiment, you will command about 200 tracked and wheeled vehicles.

RED STORM GENERAL PLAN

RED STORM is a codename for an all-out conventional mechanized thrust into FRG. Strategic surprise is highly recommended.

The main idea is to blast a hole in NATO frontal defence lines and then to use Operational Maneuver Group (OMG) units to penetrate through and exploit the attack. In your sector, the main axis of the attack is south of Hannover, crossing the rivers of Leine and Weser, heading towards Rhine, to reach the Ruhr in two weeks.

OPPOSITION

You are likely to be confronted mainly with German Bundeswehr and US Army forces. Some other units from the NATO NORTHAG army group may appear, like the Belgians, the British or the Dutch.

In the Persian Gulf, your main opposition will be the Iraqi Republican Guard units and Saudi forces. Kuwait army can also appear.

REINFORCEMENTS

You are to expect some reinforcements during this campaign, mainly between important battles. You can use this to repair and refit the most mauled units into shape. Remember, we have more men and machines to expend, but not infinitely. Save your core force and you will have less problems during the campaign.

As long as you can dig these up and get them working ( and they are worthwhile to play ) I will be glad to add them to next years release so they won't be lost again

Quick question! Are all the units from the original campaign in here? I'm wondering this because I'm not sure whether or not the original game had a hard 200 core unit cap.
