Forgive my lack of IT competence, but I bought this game last week specifically because of the VASL mods. I am a very long term ASLer who has always salivated at the idea of a PC compatible game which is ASL-like and has AI. Sadly, I am a luddite who is looking at all these mods but doesn't know where to find the right mods and how to download them into the game module. I would be very grateful for any advice on this.
Thank you.

For anyone else that needs help, I've included a short set of instructions below.

Right click on the Tigers on the Hunt desktop shortcut and select "Open File Location". It should open up a window full of files and folders. Right click and copy the "Graphics" folder. You'll need to right click and paste this somewhere safe if you decide to revert back to original graphics.

Download the scenario or graphic pack you're interested in.

If you're swapping graphics, open the folder you downloaded. You'll see a file labled "terrain". You'll need to drag that into the "Graphics" folder located in the Tigers on the Directory you just opened. You will most likely be asked for Administrator approval to do so. After that, close the window, and you're ready to play Tigers with modded graphics!

If you're installing a scenario, it's basically the same thing. You'll download the scenario from the forums and open the folder. This time, there will be 2 files...one ending in .scn and one ending in .txt. You'll need them both. Drag them both into the "Scenarios" folder in your Tigers on the Hunt directory. Once installed, they should be available for you to see in the Tigers on the Hunt menu! Good hunting and roll low!

If anyone has any problems, or needs help, feel free to PM me and I'd be happy to walk you through the process!
