In the meantime, willing to try it if you send me a PM with a dropbox link or something similar.

Cool


I think a lot of fun WITE scenarios 'd be easy to translate, their OOBs are pretty good.

Elmo: does the current database have info on post 41 equipment?

Status: offline 		I'm pretty confident in the OOB's. However some of the same comments about previous DC games will still apply here. Short of making each unit by hand, which I am not going to do, there have to be compromises on the TOE. The editor allows you to add any equipment you like but my focus is on Smolensk right now so I have not added any equipment other than what Vic provided in his tutorial database.

yup yup, BUT if I wanted to design a scenario set in 43 'd have the equipment in the database to do that?

OOBs I can find and TOEs can be simplified/abstracted.

Status: offline 		If you mean, does the database have vehicles like the Ferdinand in it then no. You would have to add that and most other equipment not present in '41 if you made a '43 scenario. However, I did just look and it has a "Tiger" troop type there. Of course I won't be adding those into my scenario.

The place to upload should be the Scenario Bank over at www.advancedtactics.org

When you upload there you can configure your entry to the scenario bank to classify the scenario as DC:Community Project.

Best wishes,
Vic

Nope. Your scenario will always be forwards compatible.

Elaborate. Posting them here ain't a problem, just attach it as a .ZIP file here, or provide a Dropbox etc link, or go to Vic's website and upload it. https://www.vrdesigns.net/?page_id=1346

Klink, Oberst
