Idiotic questions regarding extra scenarios - 12/17/2013 4:48:34 PM

Status: offline 		After finally finished a WITP:AE campaign as Allies playing against the Japanese AI. I have played few of the smaller scenarios like Guadalcanal, Marianas, Mountbattens Folly, Wake. All of these seems to work with the stock game with all patches as per: http://www.matrixgames.com/products/351/downloads/

Now I am itching to play another grand campaign with a twist against the AI again. Looking at the scenarios thread: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3088504 I am extremely confused as to which of these various mods are for. Here are my questions:

- Using the stock maps/data against AI: what extra scenarios I can play? As either side as AI.
- The DaBabes stuff: Can the Extended Map use for the old scenarios? Or do I need to download another set for it?
- What do I need for those "weird" scenarios such as Axis Aflame, War in the West, etc? Can I use the stock map/data?

Please enlighten me on this.

If I get the Extended Maps, will the original (stock) scenarios work?

Do I get the Extended Maps from here: https://sites.google.com/site/dababeswitpae/map-and-art

IMVHO, save another copy of the game and title it EXTENDED MAP SCENARIOS
Save any mods using extended maps here.

You need a second save as you will overwrite the map data required for the extended map & stacking limits.

While extended maps and order of battle are nice, however each game (even vs the AI) takes a long long time to finish. I play frequently enough and yet takes me from mid July to 2 days ago to finish WW2 as Allies. Lots of work initially and not so much towards the end as Allies are drowned with resources and ships.
