As a rule this is exactly the same process I use prior to buying a wargame for the same reasons listed in the various threads. Let me provide review #1:

BIN ROCKS! This is the real deal... "Far and away the best operational wargame ever." JSS You can quote me on that one. Game ships with full Battles in Normandy Battleset plus TAO4. Rommel, Patton, & MacArthur Master of Battle game sets are programmed for free release from Run5 before New Years.

Furthermore its probably the most fully tested wargame I have a case of GOOD beer for the first person who can find a bug I've missed. They just don't exist.

BTW, just in case I do find a bug, is it COLD beer and does it include transport ?

Here's the target beer group (one of the following): BBK, Warsteiner, Bitburg Pils, Steinlager, Lowenbrau (Munchen), Grolsch, Tsing Tao, Paulaner, Sapporo/Kirin, Samual Adams, Heinken, Black & Tan, Moosehead, etc...

Ok, ok, that's my list of favorite beers Still that's the idea

Updates and revisions to the manuals will be posted on the Run5 site I expect. Think Rob will likely have a valor medal for manual updates finds

The editor is integrated as part of the BIN engine.

You access the editor via the start screen. See section 3.2 of the BIN Manual.

Your choices are:

1) play scenario/play battle

2) edit scenario/edit battle

This is where you access the editor.
