Im sorry too Jeffery H. you didn't quote me and I forgot about that, you were just making a general observation and not butting heads with me, when I went to bed I thought geez was he quoting me or what, thanks for not coming down on me over that deeply appreciate, but read the post I wrote about nato counters etc. I think I am right on that Matrix should have demos at least for some of their games maybe not this one.

Someone had mentioned (perhaps it was in this thread) that doing a demo of the Spanish Civil war would be a good marketing tool. I was less than encouraging to that suggestion.

Today I got an email asking for the set up instructions for Missed the Bus. I know that we found a few glitches in the ADG Setup instructions for that scenario so I just cut out all the scenario specific code for Missed the Bus from the program. Here is what MWIF uses. We had to make several corrections to the spreadsheet (approved by Harry).

Here is another one where you will have to read the code.

procedure RecoverFrenchUnits;
// ****************************************************************************
// This routine takes half of the French units from the Conquered Pool and
// places them in the Force Pool from which the French draw their setup units
// and future builds.
// ****************************************************************************
var
UTypeCounter: TUnitType;
Total: Integer;
Counter: Integer;
LibUnit: TUnit;

procedure RecoverUnitToForcePool(const U: TUnit);
begin
// ****************************************************************************
// This routine prepares the record log entry for moving a unit from the
// Conquered pool back into the ForcePool
// ****************************************************************************
Inc(EntryNumber);
CountryNumber := U.Country;
UnitNumber := U.ID;
OldLocate.UnitPlace := U.UnitPlace;
OldLocate.Column := U.Column;
OldLocate.Row := U.Row;
OldLocate.ProdTurn := U.ProductionTurn;
NewLocate.UnitPlace := upForcePool;
NewLocate.Column := 0;
NewLocate.Row := 0;
NewLocate.ProdTurn := TTurn(0);
SetGRL(RLID_LiFP);
UseGRL(RLID_LiFP);
end;

procedure GetCount;

procedure Check(var U: TUnit);
// ****************************************************************************
// Unit is moved to the FutureForcePool if it is still in the game but it is
// before its time.
// ****************************************************************************
begin
if U.BeenRemoved then Exit;

if U.Year > Game.Date.Year then PrepareMoveFutureForcePool(U)
else if U.UnitType in LandUnitSet then
begin // Take all the division sized units
if TLandUnit(U).Small and
(not (U.UnitType in ArtillerySet + EngineerSet)) then
RecoverUnitToForcePool(U);
end;
end;

begin
// ****************************************************************************
// GetCount.
// ****************************************************************************
France.CUnits.ForEach(@Check);

if UTypeCounter = utMilitia then
Inc(Total, France.CUnits.UnitCount(UFilterReserveMilitia))
else
Inc(Total, France.CUnits.UnitCount(UFilterConqueredUnitType));
end;

begin
// ****************************************************************************
// RecoverFrenchUnits.
// ****************************************************************************
Inc(TransNumber);

for UTypeCounter := Low(TUnitType) to High(TUnitType) do
begin
Total := 0;
UFUnitType := UTypeCounter;
GetCount;

if Total > 0 then
begin
// ****************************************************************************
// Recover half (rounded up) of the conquered units. Militia will be found in
// the Reserve pool and all other unit types will be in the Conquered Pool. All
// the randomly selected units are placed in the Force Pool.
// ****************************************************************************
for Counter := 1 to Succ(Total) div 2 do
begin
if UTypeCounter = utMilitia then
PrepareMoveForcePool(France.PickUnitConquered(UFilterReserveMilitia))
else
begin
LibUnit := France.PickUnitConquered(UFilterConqueredUnitType);
RecoverUnitToForcePool(LibUnit);
end;
end;
end;
end;
end;
===
scMissedTheBus:
begin
NeutralityPacts.Add(Germany, USSR, tSepOct, 1939); // German/USSR pact.
Pact := NeutralityPacts.FindPact(Germany, USSR);
NeutralityPacts.AddChits(Pact, Germany, 10, 0); // 10 off and 0 def.
NeutralityPacts.AddChits(Pact, USSR, 1, 4); // 1 off and 4 def.
end;
===

And then you're ready to start!

I think this makes my point about not wanting to create additional scenarios.

Someone had mentioned (perhaps it was in this thread) that doing a demo of the Spanish Civil war would be a good marketing tool. I was less than encouraging to that suggestion.

More than just listing the various units for a Spanish Civil War scenario, what would be a pain would be to add code for the unavoidable special rules that it would have.
