How to restart a scenario from scratch - 12/26/2015 5:52:27 PM

Status: offline 		Please forgive the dumb question from a novice, but I've had a go at Stand Up 2011 and got trashed. I'd now like to play it again from the beginning, but when I load it from the 'load scenario' dialogue it takes me back to where I left the game.

I've reset the losses/expenditures and score, but unfortunately some of my units are still missing.

Any help gratefully received.

Of course if you do this and are still getting the scenario in progress, that likely means that you somehow overwrote the original scenario, probably while playing in the Editor mode.

Status: offline 		Ah, thanks. Tried that, so looks like I've overwritten it. Is there anyway to restore it ? I guess this may be a common issue for novices so a 'restore to default' function would be useful.

I've no doubt this will be the first of many errors I'll make - it's how we learn

If you overwrote with a save, you more than likely are opening the scenarios in the scenario editor (e.g. "load existing scenario") instead of the game itself (e.g. load new scenario; load saved game).

If you see an "editor" option on your top menu bar, be very careful about saving games in progress.

Unless you specify a different name for the save, you'll overwrite the original scenario.

I'm not aware of any place where you can find a Stand Alone Scenario other than what came with your original game software. Community scenarios are updated and revised on a regular basis from the Warfare Sims site (http://www.warfaresims.com/).

As jimcarravallah said, be careful with clicking 'save' when you're in the editor mode

Many thanks for this. I'd hate to think the Argentine Forces would get the better of me ;-)

Looks like I live to fight another day.

best regards

Neil
