The next UPDATE is due out in 2016, referred to as the 2.10 UPDATE. It will be a significant UPDATE with new features, new data and new scenarios/campaigns.

Hey Jason: [8D]


In the 2.10 Update, will the existing H2H Approved scenarios be incorporated into the "stock" scenarios? [&:]

In other words, will the Forgotten Battles, terrain mods, and H2H Approved scenarios be made "stock" instead of players having to enable the separate mod feature?

Why shouldn't he be allowed to play his game his way

It's not the fact that Mike would try to force changes. He is part of the development team, last I heard. He could do whatever he wishes within the confines of his computer. That is not my problem. The history of the game and it's development show that many changes and additions have been forced onto the game (not Mike's issue either) that devalues scale.
Might seem trite but, it's a mustache on the Mona Lisa. Some will like it, but leave the one in the Louvre alone? If you want her to have a mustache keep it in your house?
Those within the development team can "infect" the game with little changes that bring it out of scale. With or without the approval or knowledge of the team's leaders.

Give up. I agree.
I usually respond differently to smug and/or condescending.
I will just say this; the game was created with scale. If your "mods" are within scale and the scenarios are good I will play your changes.
Care? Yup! I do. [8|]
