First of all, many thanks for your support and encouragement, fellow gamers and my good friends, all.
Secondly, I love your "nukem" critter, Don D!
You all amaze me with these. You fellas have more of those than I do scenarios
As to the scenarios themselves, they come from an inordinate desire to recreate a "semblance" of historical events and the urge to "relive the moment."
They also come with some 15 years of experience of trying to do this. Yes, they can be time consuming in research, coming up with the battle,converting the idea to computer limitations, and then testing (Thank God for the testers! - Great bunch of guys).
In most scenarios I make some sort of conversions. You'll see unique units that I create with the editor, including paltry attempts at civilians, wounded, and other types of units that are not found in the game.
Some of you have already commented on my "souped-up" recon units. I like 'em "Rat Patrol" style, with a little bite to them.
And I enjoy making a positive contribution to a hobby I've enjoyed for over 35 years, over 1/2 my life...wargaming!
Writing has been my first love, but I've found creating scenarios and campaigns is another form of creation that is very satisifying.
Good luck to you Red Baron and to all the rest in your creations. I'm glad to see you giving scenario design a try. That is why we have upgraded the editor, not just for our pleasure, but also for yours.
If God grants me the life, we'll one day fill all those 1000 slots with battles. There is enough material and history to do it, if we can just find the time.
Again, my thanks to all of you. And I encourage you to keep on with you own efforts. For those who can't for whatever reason, we'll keep 'em coming for your gaming pleasure!
