Translation

[BigDuke66]

Check thru scenarios sides I stumbled over 2 WWI scenarios for TOAWIII that look interesting:
http://www.the-strategist.net/RD/scenar ... enario.php
Browse thru "World War I">"Western Front" and look at "Verdun 1916" & "Matz 1918"


Unfortunately both are completely in French. Now I wonder if there anyone capable of translating at least the scenario descriptions, as my French is none-existent.

My French isn't so good, but I bet this says - The Battle of Metz -1918, PARI IN DANGER!

- map extended to Avoncourt and the Woevre Plain
- Extensively revamped order of battle
- no French replacements

You're most welcome. Note that some of the scenarios in the WW1 folder over at Rugged Defense have a TOAW III version although it does not show on their icon.
