I'm not entirely sure what the "printer friendly" manual might be but there s a downloadable version which you can convert to a pdf. file and print it that way. I actually have the hardback printed manual but I seldom refer to it because it's far more straightforward to search for stuff using the ...

... a bluff or even a double-bluff?
It's been years since that one was worked on so memory may not be clear but I think it is bluff. Since you are testing it I won't have to take the time to do it so that is appreciated.

An update is planned and it is up to third on a to-do list. Any thoughts ...

Those are intriguing solutions to the scenario design problems posed by the 1944 campaign in NW Europe, well done.

I didn't expect a "Kobayashi Maru"* sort of trick in the scenario but being a bright young lad :roll: access to "Evil Ed" conferred a bit of an edge that, perhaps, I ought not to ...

Well! That's just a cunning, mean-minded, tricksy-Hobbit sort of trap to set for an unwary TOAW-cadet. True it's clever but, I reckon, it's a tad unsporting. I apologise for unwittingly blowing the "Polish surprise" but all I can say in my defence is: "how the deuce was I meant to know?"

But ...

Ah! Okay.

I was curios to know if there was anything new in the update but I guess not. I did find what I think might be a glitch concerning the option (Event 1305) for deploying the Polish 1st Armoured Div. Ev1305 activates Ev1306 which decrements the Allied supply state by -3 (which is what it ...

Many thanks for the links chaps!

The formation highlight graphic is spiffing!

I shall also experiment with a few of the other nuggets of graphical brilliance that I found in the threads.

Thanks again for your rapid reply, I do appreciate it.

Is it possible to change the "steel coloured" highlight placed around units in a formation for a colour that's a bit brighter, offers bit more contrast? It probably won't be as aesthetically pleasing as the tasteful grey but I'm prepared to sacrifice art for utility and use something that... y'know ...

If there is any interest in these I can zip them up and put them in a dropbox folder and share a link if folks would like to download them.

I would be delighted to lay hands on your update of "A Bridge Too Far". I've been tinkering with the OOB and other bits and pieces as well as trying ...

It is very good.

I'm sure a lot of people over on the Harpoon forum wold appreciate something similar if you could do it?

The opening splash on the game is very 1970s!

Once you have used the scenario editor for awhile it becomes easier.

Which version of the game engine are you using? It makes a difference. I've had that same thing happen to me about 6 months ago and I don't remember what the work around was. I think that fault was corrected by a patch that was ...
