Status: offline 		Even with all the goods provided by TOAW III, these scenarios (based on GDW's wargame series) scream for their absence. Since they are among my favourites ever, can I just import the COW version into the game? I'm really curious to see how the Warsaw Pact will behave with the new PO.

Yes. Just copy the scenario into the appropriate folder. Then open the scenario editor, load the game, and then save it. This is all that is necessary to convert it. Keep in mind that TOAW III will save scenarios, by default into the main Scenarios directory, so if you don't change the "save to" directory, you may think that you "lost" it. Have fun.

Is this scenario still available for d/l somewhere on the net? I couldn't find it in the Games Depot at wargamer.com. And I googled Mr. Marshall and couldn't find this particular scenario. Thanks for any help.

Status: offline 		Thanks very much.  It had been a long time since I had played TOAW before TOAW3 was released.  I hadn't heard of the Rugged Defense website (and Google didn't turn it up).  It looks a real goldmine of scenarios.  Thanks again.

Status: offline 		I've been working on a modified version of that scenarios on and off for years. I've playtested it a lot as a hotseat game and my friends and I have played PBEM a number of times. I think I've worked a lot of the kinks out of the original. Unfortunately, its sort of outgrown the AI, but for hotseat or PBEM, its quite good.

I think the original conversion of the TWW scenario was very good (I was on the playtest group for it), but it was a little too wedded to the original GDW game and some of the conversion didnt come off just right. I cant even begin to remember all of the tweaks I've made over the years, but its come a long way.

In fact, since the Matrix edition came out, I've dusted it off and started fiddling around with it again. I'd never posted it to a site since an awful lot of the work that went into is Trey's, not my own, and I dont want to take away from his efforts. Does anyone know his where-abouts these days? Does he frequent these forums? I'd submit my efforts to him and see what he thinks if he still had any interest.

He's certainly around somewhere. Don't know where you'd find him, but I suspect he can be found.

The hotmail address given in his scenarios briefings in the TOAW III release is certainly working.

I've tried that one and his Cox.net addy, which is in his AGS Hungarian 1944 scenario to report some problems with that scenario. Trey if you are reading this, check your email.

If someone converts them please let me know and email them to me.

:D
