Comprehensive CMx1 Collection - Shep - 05-29-2021 THE BASIC PROBLEM: I'm sure that you've all noticed over the years that this scenario plays itself out over and over: Person A: "Hey, does anyone still have X for $Insert_Game_Name$ ?" Person B: "Yeah sure, here, let me put it up on my webspace or on a random download server like Mega.NZ" <five years pass> Person C enters the thread and gets excited. Person C: "The link doesn't work anymore!" *pause* Person C: "Hey, does anyone still have X for $Insert_Game_Name$ ?" A Potential Solution: Might be with the Internet Archive. It's funded by a foundation and they seem to be relatively durable; so they're the closest thing to archival on-line storage we might see for some time. With that in mind, I've been slowly working on a project for the last month to quasi bring back the old Wargamer.com scenario archive back from the dead -- and that's morphed into a general archiving program for old game mods and such. Naturally, I did the Combat Mission x1 series. ============================================================ GENERAL INTERNET ARCHIVE NOTE: If you wish to download a specific file within the main ZIP container, just click on the (View Contents) link on the contents page. ============================================================ ============================================================ The Proving Grounds / The Scenario Depot II Site Rip (with Meta Data) (NOTE, I've duplicated the scenarios themselves in each CMx1 individual scenario archive, but this is here for completeness since TPG/TSDII were quite important CMx1 websites back in the day) ============================================================ ============================================================ https://archive.org/details/wargamer-depot_TPG-TSD2_siterip Main Page https://archive.org/download/wargamer-depot_TPG-TSD2_siterip Information Page From 5 to 8 May 2021; I ripped the following websites: THE PROVING GROUND (TPG) http://garykrockover.com/cmbb/index.html Site Rip as of 5 May 2021 has: 6 x CMBO Scenarios 281 x CMBB Scenarios 223 x CMAK Scenarios 2 x CMBO Maps (some are not downloadable) 73 x CMBB Maps (some are not downloadable) 43 x CMAK Maps (some are not downloadable) THE SCENARIO DEPOT II (TSD2) http://63.249.17.36/www.the-scenario-depot.com The original Scenario Depot (I) was at http://www.dragonlair.net/combatmission/ until it's hosting company crashed with no backups. It's successor, The Scenario Depot II was at http://www.the-scenario-depot.com/ until the domain wasn't renewed. It was then "lost" for several years until I contacted the site owner; and got this URL: http://63.249.17.36/www.the-scenario-depot.com Site Rip as of 8 May 2021 has: 52 x CMBO Scenarios 587 x CMBB Scenarios 527 x CMAK Scenarios 15 x CMBO Maps (some are not downloadable) 26 x CMBB Maps (some are not downloadable) 36 x CMAK Maps (some are not downloadable) ============================================================ ============================================================ CMMOS/CMMODS DVD Backup ============================================================ ============================================================ This was created from an old DVD that I burned with about 3.7 GB of Combat Mission CMMOS data on or around 2004. A lot of the information on this was "lost" over the years, and this is my way of giving back to the CM community. Here is a file list: Total number of folders = 62 Total number of files  = 1809 Sum of file sizes = 3.5~ GB It's all within several spanned ZIP files. https://archive.org/details/wargamer-depot_CMMOS_mods (information page) https://archive.org/download/wargamer-depot_CMMOS_mods (contents page) ============================================================ ============================================================ CMBO Mods: ============================================================ ============================================================ https://archive.org/details/wargamer-depot_CMBO_mods (information page) https://archive.org/download/wargamer-depot_CMBO_mods (contents page) On 5-10 May 2021, I cleaned out the following CMx1 repositories: cmx1mods.greenasjade.net in an attempt to archive as many of the old Combat Mission 1 (Beyond Overlord/Barbarossa to Berlin/Afrika Korps) mods as possible to safeguard against the probability of greenasjade.net disappearing in the near future. I downloaded 458 out of 458 files; and their total size is 1.46 GB. ============================================================ ============================================================ CMBB Mods: ============================================================ ============================================================ https://archive.org/details/wargamer-depot_CMBB_mods (information page) https://archive.org/download/wargamer-depot_CMBB_mods (contents page) On 5-10 May 2021, I cleaned out the following CMx1 repositories: cmx1mods.greenasjade.net in an attempt to archive as many of the old Combat Mission 1 (Beyond Overlord/Barbarossa to Berlin/Afrika Korps) mods as possible to safeguard against the probability of greenasjade.net disappearing in the near future.

There's likely to be massive duplication between all of the different packs and sources, but put together, I think this corpus constitutes most CMBO scenarios made. 1.) Pacific Mod: 28 scenarios + the graphics to mod them 2.) Rune Pack (in a specific folder): About 59~ scenarios/campaigns 3.) Ardennes DeSobry Pack: 3 versions of this scenario 4.) A Scenario Pack (AltWars) I made from an old CMMODS v4.03 database that I downloaded years ago; combined with a trawl through (http://cmx1mods.greenasjade.net); giving about 295 scenarios. 5). CMHQ Depot: About 306 scenarios with metadata 6.) Koen Pack: 4 Scenarios 7.) Rhine Pack: 10 scenarios 8.) St Malo Pack: 5 Scenarios 9.) The Blitz' CMBO Pack: About 187 scenarios and 27 maps. 10.) TheGamersNetwork: About 200 scenarios with metadata. 11.) TLD Scenario Pack : 22 scenarios 12.) The Proving Ground / The Scenario Depot II Scenario Pack for CMBO: About 59 scenarios and 13 maps. 13.)

I think with all this, we have most CMBB scenarios ever made. I've tried to include everything I can; there's too many to describe here; from the Stalingrad Pack, Kursk Pack, Russian Training Set, Denhost CMBB Pack, Philippe CMBB Pack, a Boots & Tracks site rip (scenarios and AARs). Some of the packs are: The Blitz CMBB Pack: 371 Scenarios and 15 maps. The Proving Ground / The Scenario Depot II Pack: About 840 scenarios and 87 maps.

Out of 6 scenario files on the WGD, 6 were recovered (100%). Also included as a bonus is an archive of other scenarios and campaigns recovered from various sites for completeness.

It was put together from an old CMMODS v4.03 database that I downloaded years ago; combined with a trawl through (http://cmx1mods.greenasjade.net). I've tried to include everything I can, including Philippe's 11-part pack that breaks down as: 1940 - 67 Scenarios Ardennes - 88 Scenarios East Africa - 19 Scenarios France & Germany - 95 Scenarios Greece - 37 Scenarios Italy/Southern France - 258 Scenarios Market Garden - 23 Scenarios Normandy 198 Scenarios North Africa - 195 Scenarios Norway - 4 Scenarios Arab Israeli Wars - 8 Scenarios Korea -4  Scenarios PTO - 14 Scenarios SCW - 7 Scenarios SeaLion - 5 Scenarios Vietnam - 13 Scenarios Everything Else - 10  Scenarios Along with graphics mods for a SEALION set plus a few scenarios to go with it.
