Hello rjantzi:

Hi, I have a few questions regarding the Forgotten Battles 2.0 Mod.
1) When I go to install this mod using JSGME I get a warning message that says there a potential conflict with other mods that I currently have installed. Specifically, the EF & WF Unit Bases and the PanzerBlitz/PanzerLeader User interfaces. The message says that if I proceed with installing the Forgotten Battles Mod it, "may have adverse effects on your game". At this point I've declined to continue with the installation as I like using these other mods. I'm wondering if you've checked the Forgotten Battles mod for compatibility with the other mods or if I have to disable these others before proceeding with the installation?
This is actually a generic warning, that JSGME gives out when two mods touch the same files. Let me give you a silly example. There's two mods: Brown Water Hexes and Green Water Hexes. You first enable the Brown Water Hexes, as you want too see brown water instead of the stock blue. Then, you enable the Green Water Hexes, which will give you this warning as it changes the same terrain bitmap files as Brown Water Hexes. This, in effect then has an "adverse effect on your game", as although you also have Brown Water Hexes first enabled, you will only see Green Water Hexes as they are the last to go in. JSGME also greyed out Brown Water Hexes, so you have to take them out in reverse order. Last one to go in must be the first one out.
In your case: Forgotten Battles has its own versions of Main East Front and West Front Menus. So instead of the PB/PL Main Menus you'd see Forgotten Battle 2.0 menu instead.
If you absolutely want to (and who wouldn't!) see PB / PL user interface instead, disable all mods, then put in Forgotten Battles first, PB/PL UI next. PB/PL Mod having gone in last prevails, when same files are touched.
Hope this helped, it is a bit confusing when trying to explain, but hopefully obvious once you try them out

2) Are the scenarios for the Forgotten Battles suitable for playing against the AI or are they H2H only?
Check the scenario description. The scenarios I've created for Forgotten Battles are mostly for Human-vs-Human, in which case if you want to play vs AI I suggest you take the attacking side, and allow AI to be on defensive.

3) What's the easiest way to find these scenarios in The Blitz database? I've tried searching for "Forgotten Battles" in the Campaign Series section but that only shows me 3 scenarios.
My scenarios are all under "Arctic Front" in EF. There are others as well. Here's a scenario introduction post from Blitz that for most part should be up to date: LINK
I hope you enjoy them!
