Good Hunting.

The one issue is now fixed.

But now we added a whole new vegetation system which needs to be fine tuned.

Nope. A whole new crop of problems could sprout.
I think I have time to add one more model.

So, I don't think me putting them together will take long. Now me getting the rest of the team to recognize scenario design genius when they see it could take some time.......

Since PC:OWS and PC:K were early war programs I think I'll go late war with the demo scenarios.

Good Hunting.

Hmmmm....it's been awhile since I visited that location.

Wonder if I can find it again...possibly for a demo scenario.

There was a CSDT scenario covering the battle at Diedersdorf. Now where did I put that scenario? I can never find them when I need them!

Good Hunting.

We're actually slowing down. Not much left to do at this stage but make sure everything works as advertised and make sure to the best of our abilities that all the old material works as well since we are not only updating the series but trying to keep all the original content still in working order.

Good Hunting.

Panzerman and Warmonger where the star designers in the Seelowe Heights pack offered by CSDT. That was right after I had bought CMBB and barely knew what an editor was. There's a rumor that CSDT - A Brief Visit to a Church was redone as HSG KH A Brief Visit To A Church. That was one of my favorite ASL scenarios and I just had to try to replicate it in CMBB. The Puma Prowls was another one.

Who knows maybe some of those old classic ASL scenarios may end up here in PCO. You never know.

Good Hunting.

It was a group that made scenarios and battle packs for CM.

Status: offline 		Man, that link brought back some memories! 

Alot has changed since then. In some ways alot has stayed the same as well. 2 out of the 3 of us that were in CSDT when it closed are still working together. We still do historically based scenarios for tactical games so I guess the evolution continues.

Good Hunting.

Status: offline 		MR,
I'll add that the CSDT scenarios play extremely well, even after all those years. They are very appreciated and gave new insight to the very passages we read in books. Then the HSG scenarios continued the tradition of excellence. It is one thing to read about a battle from the perspective of the participants, but then to play out the action in a game gives you a whole new perspective, especially seeing things on a map that is designed to recreate as close as possible the actual area of the encounter. I fully expect PCO will provide many more instances of this.

If it will speed things up you can skip the brocolli patches! But you guys skirted the question, How near are you guys? (I know, VERY NEAR) This buildup and waiting is driving me nuts!

I consulted my Mayan Calendar and think December 21, 2012 is the release date.
