Thanks for the heads-up on this.

At last I can re-create that big battle that took place in my back yard with 400 plastic soldiers when I was 6-years old; perhaps as scenario designer, I can manage to win this time?

Nice work by Vic --- at this point he must about to tear his hair out: "Why did I do this?"

This is such an important thread that it needs to be captured in a PDF file for download and printing. Please!??

mmm.. yes a little bit :)
maybe next game i'll keep things more simple.

but on the other hand i am realy looking forward to more quality scenarios made by players like tom weber. And if i can help some people on their way with some tutorials its worth the time investment i think :)

but lets see if i can keep it up.

kind regards,
Vic

Kevin,
I have captured the thread as a pdf file; however, with all of the graphics, it weighs in at a little over 2MB. I don't have a place to put it. There is a program that will allow you to create pdf's of web pages at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator

I hope this helps....

How about posting it here:

Like I said, this is real important to the expansion of the AT platform.

Well, I would, but the only place to put things is the scenario bank, and since this is not a scenario, I hesitate to post it.

i have to think about an easy way to post the documents. i already spotted an excell sheet in scenariobank. i think actually it is best if these things are directly mailed to me vic@xs4all.nl so i can put them up on the website manually...

Vic,

I have just emailed it to the address you provided.
It's 3 MB long, so I hope your email provider will accept it...
Otherwise, we will have to come up with a different way to transfer it.

Kevin,
If you really want it immediately, email me with an address I can sent it to...
Be aware of the size though....
