That's right,you have to rotate it sideways to get the correct grid alignment. And you're welcome btw. I know map editing can be a serious chore.

Thanks for the advice, this was very helpful.

And I would actually have a couple of questions for fellow TOAW scenario designers regarding map design.<br/>

My map is 5 kilometers per hex.<br/>

With this in mind, what is the minimum width of a river for ...

<r> I've been lurking about for a couple of years now and figured it was high time to contribute something to the community after having banged my head against a major scen design issue : map making.<br/>

Sure we have things like Google Earth or other sources for maps, but there's the issue ...

<r> Rhinobones,why do you insist on sidetracking this topic? Your post is <B><s>[b]</s> exactly <e>[/b]</e></B> the thing to be included in a PM.

Well, it looks like it's the other way around in modern times. An entire battery of 6 SA-17s can't even down a lone F-15.That ain't right.

<t> Ok,here's a question. Why is there such a disparity between modern fighter planes (non-stealth) and&nbsp;modern SAMs?<br/>
<br/>
I mean, even the most modern of SAMs have an anti-air attack of barely 10 while 4th Generation fighters have an air defence of 40+. Isn't that a bit unbalanced? What ...

Hehe...either that or Operation Market Garden.

The Grand Campaign of Close Combat II is still one of my all-timefaves exactly because of this decision making in distributing resources for attack,defence,counterattack.

<t> Thanks. In the meantime I also came upon a US Field Manual relating to this very subject: river crossings.Seems like a "ribbon" pontoon bridge&nbsp; si perfectly doable, if logistic-intensive. They were nice enough to include figures as well and from what I can gather, the assault phase would be ...

Hey,no hijacking the thread! [:-]

The relationship between the US and Israel and the extent to which pro-Israel groups (like AIPAC) make or break things in US political life are reserved for off-topic sections or private discussions.

Thank you

<t> The list of motives isn't complete, neither are any of the individual points necessary or sufficient. That is, some countries fulfilled some conditions, some others, some had a long list but weren't invaded, others were first-time offenders and were quickly nipped in the bud.<br/>

<r> 1) Regarding Iran. You're right, in the context of things happening historically.<br/>

However, suppose Iran would have opened its AT and AA weapons stores to the Shiite (and heck maybe even Sunni!) insurgency in Iraq. It would have made the insurgency deadlier perhaps to the extent ...

I meant to say that the Global Conflict '88 doc file explaining everything (forces,activation,events,withdrawals,etc the works) exists in the same folder as where the scn file is. <br/>

<r> 1) The Iran invasion would have the purpose of regime change. You are right that it would not be anywhere near an Iraqi "cakewalk" because if its sheer size (something like France+Germany+Spain), population (70 mil as opposed to Iraq's 26) and political life,however...<br/>

Apologize for the bump but... really,nobody? I mean,I know my way around post-cold war OOBs,but a 2nd opinion never hurts.

Ah,that one is a multiplayer-only scenario because the units entering the theater are triggered by disbanding the token units on the very top of the map manually.

EDIT : The attached scenario doc file explains the whole thing in detail

<r> Hello everyone.<br/>
<br/>
I'd like to enlist the community's help in determining which US brigades and divisions would be involved in a possible regime change invasion of Iran sometime in 2005-2006.<br/>

This is a rather oblique request, as I'm not planning to do a scenario on this ...

In the case of modern day battalion organization,how wide a front sector can a battalion reasonably cover?
