Lost Platoon Maps This could be a mere map, but I'm planning on making this a tad more interesting. The idea is that you are the commander of a platoon that got lost in a heavy dust storm on Titan. Therefore, the units you get at your disposal are beaten up, they have less hull and are a bit slower than normal NSDF tanks, but ammo count and weapons stay the same. The beaten up tanks will come to look like this: Along with the maps will also be a guide that shows all of you how to make units similar to the above simply by using Photoshop, so others can make such units themselves and use them in their own maps and mods. Tell me what you guys think, Goomba DOWNLOAD LINK COMING SOON!

Scheduled Missions:
1. Meet your platoon at Command Tower, then fight off CCA attacks until reinforcements arrive.
Approx. playing time: 15 minutes.
2. Travel through a canyon, fight off a CCA ambush and protect a Ctonian Relic then transport it to the extraction point.
Approx. playing time: 30 minutes.
3. CCA managed to capture the relic and is now building aircraft vehicles. Make use of the Flak guns and destroy the CCA base with your strike force.
Approx. playing time: 20-40 minutes, depends on player's experience.
These are the missions that will be currently implemented, however, they may change drastically over time.

Thanks for the comments guys!  I currently started on making a simple launcher for the pack. The program will come to look like this, except for all the test purpose content, of course:

I like that dusty Grizzly skin, it looks very convincing.

That skin looks very dusty. It's like it got lost in a dust storm on Titan. I'm looking forward to this map pack. Great work, Goomba.

Thanks for all the nice comments, I appreciate it!  I made a custom Command Tower for the first mission, I used the Black Dog model because I like it better, it has NSDF stars on it though:

Today I will take a shot at finishing the map pack, beta testers will get a chance to test the map pack before it reaches public status after about a week.
If you are willing to become a beta tester drop me a note and I will add you to the "Beta Tester List", you'll get regular updates and beta versions of the pack as time goes.

Ok, you are added!  I don't know what was on my mind when I claimed the pack would be done today, thats madness, maybe I was still a little sleepy.  The pack, will however be done very soon. I will send you updates and beta builds as they arise.
