Here it is, the official HttR scenario list.

Nice list! Now I can't decide if I want to try a new one first or an old one to get a better feel for the engine changes. Any suggestions on a first scenario for someone who wants to see the most changes all at once?

No capture the flags?
I liked those for the Online games

I also would like to see scenarios where each Airborne Division is allowed to drop into another Airbornes division area

I just checked. There are no explicit CTF scenarios. However, there are a few that are classified as "meeting engagements" which would seem to serve a similar purpose for online play.

I would imagine that a CTF scenario of any size would be pretty straight forward to produce in the scenario editor.

Thanks for the list Grouchy.

To echo to citizen interrogation, I'm thinking of trying some short oldies first, to quickly assess the differences. Then, I'll rush on new ones.

No Capture The Flag ? It's OK, I planned to do one myself, including some Belgian boys.

Can someone confirm that the AA:RDOA scenarios will load fine in the new ScenMaker and could be saved to HTTR, untouched ?
If yes, will it be permitted to upload the official scenarios transformed as such ?

Cheers,

JeF.

Well, zip up a couple and email them to "markshot at kwlsystems dot com". I'll see if it can be done. {I don't want to go through the trouble of reinstalling RDOA.}

I am under the impression that the old scenarios won't work as I believe the estabs were changed. Dave could probably explain it better.

Mark,

You're lightning fast

No AA installed on this machine and too lazy to start the other one. I know there are some AA:RDOA scenarios here.

Where is Golf33 when you need him ?

Cheers,

JeF.

JeF,

I tried the Singling Pack. After saving the map to make sure it was in the right format for 2070 and generating a new cache consistent with 2070, I tried loading the CTF small. HTTR simply CTD'd to the desktop. I got the same result when I tried to open the scenario in Scenmaker.

So, I don't think the old RDOA scenarios are going to be compatible. I guess that means it's time to start designing some new ones.

Bet You could do it with the editor?

Someone tell me about this editor. Is it an extensive editor like TOAW? Can I generate a completely new map? Are the units editable, like can I make other countries military assets, French, Russian, etc. How modable is the code? Don't remember hearing about to many mods associated with RDOA.

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the delay in replying, but I have been away on holidays. My first two weeks break in ages. Now it's back to work.

You may be pleased to know that we signed off on the gold master before we went on leave. We're just waiting on Matrix to make some amendments to the installer and tee up a delivery date from the printer. You might also like to know that Steve "Golf33" Long has started working with us full time effective last Monday 13 October. We're right in the middle of re-equipping the office with new PCs etc. So please bear with us for a while until we're all set up.

Re: RDOA scenarios working with HTTR. The short answer is they will not work and that is our intention. We have a whole new set of estabs so the units won't correlate.

Re: Capture the Flag. We have replaced these with the Battle of the Bases scenarios. These are essentially CTF but with multiple flags. They are much better. But as JeF says you can quickly knock up a CTF scenario of your own using the ScenMaker.

Re: Using Substituting differnet Airborne Divisions: again this can be done relatively simply by doing a Save As on an existing scenario and swapping the forces in the ScenMaker. Something to cut your teeth on, heh

Question... I've bolded the historical campaign scenarios and it made me curious, is there now full historical campaign of all the landings on a single map?

I realize this could be daunting, overwhelming etc, but still would like to give it a go. If there is also a campaign mode aside from the scenario mode, then my concern is dealt with already.

No. It would be too big even for the latest PCs. There would be too many units for the Line of Sight checking and too large a map for the route finding. To cover this area we would have to change the scale of the game. That is not a trivial undertaking.

No there is no campaign mode, which takes you from one scenario to the next.

Ok np... good up front answer, appreciate it.

Now get on the phone about getting the d'amn thing printed.

The full on scenarios are campaigns more or less
