CDV makes five new Sudden Strike missions available on the web.
Players of the blockbuster RTS Sudden Strike can now play a new set of missions for the game free of charge.
Publisher CDV Software Entertainment has made five full single player missions available to be downloaded from the web.
The five recreate further scenarios from the European battlefields of World War II, and cover a variety of terrain and objectives. Each one has been designed to give seasoned Sudden Strike fans a fresh challenge.
The first mission, Enclosed, puts the German troops in a holding position in a town. The player must keep the Russians at bay for 15 minutes before reinforcements arrive.
In the second, Snipers, you are on the Allied side and must take out German snipers entrenched in the area. The third new mission, Special Action, puts you in charge of eliminating the last of the Russian resistance hidden in a ruined town.
In The Eagle Has Landed, you'll find yourself deep behind the enemy lines and will need to make skilful use of your paratroopers to survive. Finally, The Mad Scientist sets you the task of freeing Allied scientists from a German prison camp.
These new additions to the Sudden Strike theatre of war provide a foretaste of the scale and scope of the 20 new missions to come with the Sudden Strike Expansion Pack, due to be released in May.
As well as providing five new Sudden Strike games, there is also a new patch file available from the same site which fixes the notorious bug in the Saving Private Bryan mission, which prevented you from completing this mission successfully.

Sudden Strike was the PC success story last autumn. Based on the battlefields of World War II, Sudden Strike included the weapons and troops available at the time to enable players to recreate scenarios and trace the battles and skirmishes from either an Allied, German or Russian point of view. Using a real-time strategy game engine, Sudden Strike eschewed resource management in order to enable players to get in the thick of the action straightaway.
With 49 missions included in the initial release in October 2000, Sudden Strike remains highly playable for its huge army of fans, with its multi-player modes available through the Gamespy network and now these additional free single-player missions.
