Greetings.

I thought that I'd given up on this scenario 18 months ago. Oh well, I guess not. However, I'm still pretty sure that I will never finish it because it is HUGE. So, why am I starting this thread?

I want to share what I have with people who might be interested in developing this scenario ...

<t> Hi Everybody,<br/>
<br/>
I have put Cataclysm 47 on indefinite hold. Simply put, the scenario is too complicated to be represented by TOAW in its current form.<br/>
<br/>
The number of house rules kept growing and growing until nobody but me could understand (or be willing to use) them. Most ...

<t> There have been complications getting my new computer up and running. But that means I've been able to finish up the Italian OOB on this old computer. It might be a while before my new machine is operational. In the meantime, this old machine is still mostly functional...<br/>
<br/>
My 3-Month ...

<t> I'm getting a new computer tomorrow. It will take me a day or two to get it up and running. So, I probably won't finish the Italian OOB until Sunday or Monday.<br/>
<br/>
The Italian RSI will be larger in 1947 than it was in 1944. Mussolini has had several more years to recruit/indoctrinate ...

Have you thought about making partisans entirely "abstract"? I mean, having them give malus to Axis supply or shock values through events instead of having them physically on the map? <br/>
<br/>
I tell you this just because I have an ...

<t> I decided to delete the Polish and Czechoslovakian partisans from the Allied OOB. By the time the Allies get close to the pre-war Polish and Czechoslovakian borders, the Axis will be in serious trouble already. Adding a dozen partisan units at that time won't make the game more interesting or ...

<t> I know it sounded like a silly question from somebody who's been playing this game for nearly 15 years. I've been testing my coastal forts, and along the Atlantic Wall I've been bombing the rail/bridge net by the Allies to simulate pre-invasion preparations. And the Germans haven't been able to ...

Is there any way to get the PO to repair blown bridges?

<t> Partisan Problems.<br/>
Well, I've finished the partisan OOBs, but there is trouble. My basic house rule for partisans is that partisans may not leave the boundaries of their country. However, there are no national boundaries for Poland and Czechoslovakia since both of those nations ceased to ...

<t> Partisans.<br/>
I'll be finished with partisans sometime next week.<br/>
<br/>
Coastal Forts.<br/>
I had a breakthrough a few days ago and now coastal forts work. I've created a few coastal forts for testing purposes and I'll begin the process of placing them on the entire map as soon as I ...

The only problem is that it will always look like a ship. What if you flipped the icons? Looks funky.<br/>
<br/>
If there was a fix that updated it you’d have to fix your scenario.

Okay, I've reversed the unit ...

<r> At last I have a working solution to the coastal-artillery problem. This WILL work.<br/>
<br/>
Step 1. Build a naval task force of the appropriate strength.<br/>
Step 2. Add the "fixed artillery" symbol as the 2nd unit type. This immobilizes the unit.<br/>
Step 3. Open the Unit Report and ...

<t> Well, I was incorrect. <br/>
<br/>
Here is the problem. I'm building a fortified line. If the forts in that line go Tactical Reserve, they get no defensive bonus, right? But if the forts are in Fortified mode and are knocked out of Fortified mode due to enemy attacks, then what happens? In ...

<t> I am testing artillery units for the PO. I deploy my artillery in fortified mode. But as soon as the PO begins to move, it takes all of its artillery out of fortified mode and switches to tactical reserve.<br/>
<br/>
I want my artillery to remain in fortified mode, and I never want the PO to ...

<r> Even though I haven't been able to work around the coastal forts malfunction, I have come up with some interesting tools in my quest to make this scenario playable. Here is a neat tool for when you don't want to put a formation on garrison orders, but you want the units in that formation to not ...

<t> Coastal Fort Test Failed.<br/>
The problem is that for every workaround I come with, it breaks something else. First round of tests went perfectly. But the second round revealed unforeseen consequences. My brain is fried right now and I'm pretty much out of ideas. I have one or two Hail-Mary ...

My home is set up for gas, but I assure you that my carbon footprint is very small. I'm very aware of ecological/environmental issues.<br/>
<br/>
Anyway, I've started testing my solution for coastal forts and so far the results are excellent. Implementing the new coastal forts ...

Gas. So far, so good.

What is the limit, if any, to the number of victory locations that can be placed in a scenario?

<t> Well, thanks to an idea by sPzAbt653 and another sleepless night, I think I have a coastal-fort solution. I'll test it later today after I get some sleep. I have a busy day tomorrow away from the computer (I'm getting a new stove). I'll do more testing on Tuesday, and hopefully good news to ...
