Status: offline 		I managed to get Kord some info earlier. Gen. Maczek, can you be the designated thread monitor here, answer questions, etc. until i return? Remember to encourage the new forum members - lets get as many people involved as possible. Gotta run - kids are in the car and the wife is threatening to flip the main circut breaker to the house (cuts electricity - for you non-native english speakers out there)

Status: offline 		Sounds good, mike. Kord, you'll have battle 11. I'll respond to your mail shortly. Has anyone heard from Mosh? He is MIA (or is that AWOL). He has battle two, so his is the important position now. Any more comments from battle 1? I've gotten a little feedback, but more would be helpful.

Status: offline 		I have a very green question, but I am new to this scenario design business How do you make a new paragraph when type up the scenario briefing? My briefing just all run together. (WB, if you covered this in your class, I must have play hookie that day ) BTW, you guys may want to check out this site.

http://www.euronet.nl/users/wilfried/ww2/ww2.htm It gives important dates during the conflict that you may find useful to fleshout your design.

Inp4668, Use Fred Chandla's WAWed. It is located in the Chandla file of SPWAW. I dragged the file out of the chandla file and into the SPWAW directory for ease of use. Open it, load your scenario, and then under , you can cut and paste scenario comments. So, you can write them up in MSWord or other program (that has a spell check, i know i need one!), and then cut and paste into the game text file.

Status: offline 		Great News; Bryan "Marauder" Melvin just emailed me, and said that he will build a few scenarios, once he completes some of his current projects. Bryan build the Stalingrad campaign, and we're using his maps for that part of the war (some of them anyway). This campaign won't get bogged down in the rubbel too much though. A few battles in the city early on, and then a few months R&R at the dasha, before teaching Manstien a lesson in mobile warfare .

Status: offline 		UPDATE;
I've sent a detailed email to everyone on the list, but here is a short update; I've recieved 10 battles so far. Unfortunately, three of them (out of the first 5), had one problem or another in thier transmission to me. Once i get these back, i can zip the first 7 battles together for everyone to start on. I did send out the campaign with battle #1 only, as some people have been requesting to start ASAP. Make sure you include your text files with our battle. Let me know if you need info on the naming protocal. This is Campaign #23, for those who need that for your naming of text files. More battles are available, but i'd like to get some people playing before we do much more designing. The first seven battles should give all of us quite an education, especially with some emailed critiques and design info as people complete battles. A_B

Status: offline 		For those of you out there reading this, but not participating yet, there is still room. We have ten people building scenarios for the campaign, which is estimated to run 50 to 60 battles for the entire war. Beginners are welcome - encouraged in fact. It is a good way to start designing scenarios, and you'll get feedback very quickly (maybe not always nice, but it will be informative). Particicpation is also the only way to play. It will be several months before the campaign is made 'public'. A_B

Status: offline 		Hi!
Im a complete beginner at this, but id be happy to try and design a battle, if you have something suitable for me. I might go offline for up to a few weeks soon though, so if there is a tight scedule i better stay out of it!

Status: offline 		I'm back now. I had flown to Denver - where my company is based out of - and was stranded by Tuesdays attacks. Managed to get back late yesterday. I wasn't able to send emails from Denver - not easily anyway, and there were other priorities while i was there. I should have a chance to go through all of the campaign collective emails tomorrow. Sorry for the delay. Darroch, i got your campaign, and am going to try and play a few turns tonight. A_B

Status: offline 		Excellent to hear from you, Dan, welcome back In days like these, normal little snafus become the source of worries... I re-tested your opening battle once more - with C&C turned on... My core force still lost most light tanks (apparently they evaporate when in the proximity of German Panzers...go figure) Even with knowing the direction and scope of the attacks, it is still a hariy battle for the Russian! Good job on the scenario. Playtesting of Mosh's Battle #2 commences whenever my wife will let me
Might have an AAR by the weekend

Status: offline 		I'll try and get a group email out Wednesday. I just sent you and alasandro an email. The big problem with battle one is that the units are maxed out - so crews don't show up. I'm going to reduce the core forces slightly, to aleviate this problem, and then reissue the campaign. I'll modify battle 1 for guys that have played it, so you can get a new surprise. We'll all have to keep the unit max in mind. I'm planning on putting out a rule on max auxillery and support units for everyone, so the same problem doesn't crop up agian.
