Andy,

You can get a feel of things by browsing through the forum here. There are a few screens here or there in the various sub forums. I'm not sure which version is shipping from the store right now but if your version is less then 1.10 you need to go the support area and download the patch to get to 1.11. If you have any questions or comments plese fell free to chime in. We are always looking for more feedback to make this game and the next one better.

Thanks.

Hi Andy,

You may want to look at the graphics mod and scenario package at the wargamer. That is www.wargamer.com. Look under the games depot and search by game Flashpoint Germany. Have fun!!

Regards John

Cool,i intend to try writing my own scenarios (well using some from one of my board wargames of the same era)i just got the shipping notice e mail and am on tenterhooks!I cant wait.[:'(]

Andy,

z1812 is now the top FPG scenario making guru we have. I'm sure he can give you some help putting scenarios together. FPG is a "bit" squirley to work with with respect to scenario creation. That issue is being addressed along with map making in the next title we are currently working on. I have a couple scenarios I put together, but never had time to finish while working the 1.1 update. One of these days I'll get back to it.

Cheers Capn Darwin.I think inned to play the game and then figure how to incorporate the scenarios.(i think the game was a GDW one)A limitation will be the Maps,however there maybe a way to revamp/use the ones in the  "physical" game,which would make life soooo much easier.I am drooling at the thought of the game arriving anyday now!!!!!!!
(Rome Total War,brilliant as it is has now lost its appeal,i cant wait for the relaunch of the "Battlefront series for XP!)I used to play miniature WW2 and Modern AFV wargames in 1/300th scale.My crowning glory was a Soviet Motorised Rifle Brigade(models by GHQ)It was awesome to see set up!However,time and space,not to mention 2 dogs have forced me to abandon my miniature wargaming!!!!Thank god for Computers!(i just need to get a decent laptop now![;)]) 



CapnDarwin -> RE: New to this. (8/2/2006 3:46:36 AM)

I think the GDW game was Assault, Boots and Saddles, and a couple others. Great stuff. Sits on my shelf.
As for laptops...don't we all. [;)]

I downloaded the unit counter update and tried to implement it.However it doesnt seem to have done any thing.when i open the files,all i get is the readme one and the other are in a "BML file"  which i cant open,it looks like this:

I am sure it isnt right,so any ideas will be greatfully recieved.



CapnDarwin -> RE: New to this. (8/10/2006 3:56:17 AM)

Andy,

Copy the bml files to the Graphics folder. You may wish to back up the original bml's if you want to switch back later. And no you can't open them without Delphi. The are a compressed list of bmp files. Hope that helps.



z1812 -> RE: New to this. (8/10/2006 4:56:24 AM)

Hi andym,

Let me know if you have further problems with the mod. ( Read the Read ME ) If you do as Capn Darwin suggested it should be straight forward.

Regards John



andym -> RE: New to this. (8/11/2006 10:39:30 PM)

Ok will give it a whirl and report back.



andym -> RE: New to this. (8/12/2006 2:14:27 AM)
