Reworked Road to Nijmegen

Two years ago Paper Tiger did a minor, but important, rework to Road to Nijmegen.

Reworked The Road to Nijmegen Campaign is now available

The download links in that thread are now dead.

Any idea where to find this?

RE: Tutorial '41 - Including 1st Step Slides [TOAW 3.4]

<t> Am I doing something wrong, or has something changed?<br/>

Turn 2 -- every available unit attacked the first border guard as illustrated in the slides -- probability of success very low, expected losses very heavy -- failed to do anything and losses on both sides quite light.<br/>

Korea 50-51 vs Tutorial

<t> The "Korea 50-51" version appears to be bugged ... missing replacement rates.<br/>

Curious about the difference between the two scenarios (and curious to play with the editor), I dumped both versions. The only difference (other than title) was that Tutorial had settings for replacements ...

But then it should be 0 in Tannenberg. Not -180 for the Russians at the beginning when the objectives count is 260 for the Germans and 170 for the Russians. And not -60 for the Russians as soon as you capture one 30 point ...

What is this?<br/>

Manual implies that it is added to the victory point level. But playing the Tannenberg tutorial, it seems to be simply "2x" the current victory point difference. <br/>

But, I started the 1918 scenario as Entente.<br/>

More re: the double-tap to swap

RE: Night

<t> Understood -- but the visibility limit is the limit at which you can see gunflashes (or hexes illuminated by starshells), right? (i.e., the out to the limit of the scenario's weather conditions). So with a visibility of 1, you can't actually see any gunflashes/illuminated hexes???<br/>

I noticed that several West Front scenarios are real night scenarios now, e.g., Hold Until Relieved. But the ones I looked at have Visibility 1. I'd guess the original scenarios had Visibility 1 because there were no night rules yet ...
