Ok than, I have noticed that the Megacamps have been discontinued. However, in between having the lively debate with KG Erwin and working on Going Home (Greek Campaign 1943, for more details see Developer's corner at SPWAW Depot), I made a minor "discovery." I think I managed to swap a MegaCamp scenario into the main scenario archive, and vice versa. Now, this may seem pathetic, and it probably is, knowing me, but this opens up a new possibility: Players creating their own MCs via this system. Naturally, I realize there are far more complicated factors involved, such as auto-repair/upgrade. However, this is a basic step here. I might create a small one-scenario "MC" to test this. I may be a quack at mapmaking, but I think I can toss together a small scenario (or, failing that, "borrow" one, no offense to anybody!) Needless to say, it would be VERY basic, like one battle (and nothing like Supercharge, the Maximum Effort, as much as I do enjoy it), with some simple variation to the scenario that is triggered via the choices. Hopeless dreaming? Likely, that is true. However, if it does work, than think of the results. Now, in case any of you are thinking about this, I must say that I will NEVER condone software piracy. If I see a single pirated copy of Lost Victories, Screaming Eagles, or the like on the web, I will report your arse to whoever will listen. I respect intellectual property, and the practice of it. This is meant to open up the creation of new, non-official MCs, not create a batch of leeching pirates trading Matrix's lifeblood away. Now, that being said, I will eagerly look forward to trying it, and am receptive to feedback. Call me up if I am violating some law in doing this, or to offer encouragement or criticism. I was thinking of maybe the Slovak-Hungarian War as a base (low-intensity, small number of combatants, etc) as a base for this one-scenario test MC. Any takers?
