I like to here how other players manage all the scenarios.
For instance it would be nice just to load a select few that perhaps are in one category ( I.E desert scen) and not have to look through 100+ scenario's for the ones you want.
I know there are some managers out there but they seem to be for older versions of spwaw or look like they were work in progress.

Thanks!

I spent a while to identify scenarios I was interested in by looking through the titles and text files. A list of these was made.

I then deleted all that I was not interested it using the numbers I had written down to keep from deleting keepers.

Then I began accumulating more.

After I had 100+ again, I zipped these up and saved them elsewhere.

Then started accumulating again. Not fancy but it worked.

Thanks for the reply. The way you described is basically what I am doing now. I though there might be either a utility I was unaware of or some "slick" way of doing it. Sometimes the brute force method works best.

Make a list in your head of what categories you'll have for scenarios. (With the massive room for scenarios that SPWAW has, you could keep copies in multiplecategories.) 40 will fit on each page, so you could have, say, Desert Scenarios 0-40 (the first page will be Desert ones). You dig? That way each page in the Scenario List will be a different category.

I have played The Munda mini-camp. Now I have to wait for the book "combined arms tactics for dummies"!:confused:

Status: offline 		I use a Scenario Manager to move scenarios around with a click of the mouse. I then sort the scenarios into categories based on reading the text files and then move them to known slot number ranges.

I have all my Western Front Scenarios in slots 1- 100, my Eastern Front scenarios in slots 101-200, Desert scenarios in slots 201-300, Pacific scenarios in.... You get the idea.

You could sort by date etc but chose carefully as you may comletely fill one category and have to make more room while other categories remain almost empty.

SPManager3 is available from Tankheads site [URL=http://www.tankhead.ca/SPWaW/downloads.asp]http://www.tankhead.ca/SPWaW/downloads.asp[/URL]
(note that this program is a bit old and does not move the .rec files but this doesn't matter as the game willl create new ones).

Scenario Wrangler is available from ectizen's site at [URL=http://www.ectopia.net/~ectizen/]http://www.ectopia.net/~ectizen/[/URL]

Hope this helps,
Reg.
