West Front / Western Front VERSION 1.0a 12/98

[Scud]

Hi Tyroken,

The Talonsoft version of the game stopped working with Windows 7(?) or thereabouts. Talonsoft then went out of business. Jason Petho was able to resurrect the old game in a deal with Slitherine games / Matrixgames. His team reworked the code and the game was repackaged under the name John Tiller's Campaign Series. This was back around 2014.

The new game still works and is sold by Matrix Games. You can get it here: https://www.matrixgames.com/game/john-ti...ign-series. It's much better than the old game, still very enjoyable and has it's own forum here at the Blitz.

Also available under separate covers, but using the same engine is the CSME (Middle East) game and CSVN (Vietnam). The Vietnam game includes lua scripted scenarios which vastly improve play against the computer. The devs are also working on a Cold War game.

Unfortunately, there are no more updates planned for JTCS, v1.05 was the last I think, but it's still worth buying and there are plenty of members who'll give you a game if you're interested in play-by-email. We have an on-going tournament running that you can join and leave anytime between rounds, too.

Hope that helps,
