A question for WiR grogs...

[Erik Rutins]

Gentlemen,

This message came to our support e-mail. I've honestly been so tied up in Battlefields! that I'm a bit too rusty on my WiR to give the guy an intelligent response. Any thoughts or suggestions from the more experienced? If you'd like to get in touch with this fellow directly, his e-mail address is rhetor@go2.pl ... Thanks!

Hello

I've got a problem with War in Russia v.3.3 - I cannot create a PBEM game from Campaign 41 scenario. I've even tried to edit the secenario and save it without any changes, but it still wouldn't run as a PBEM game. All other scenarios work fine in PBEM mode. Is there a bug in the game? I'm looking forward to your reply. I've played WiR against the AI in the early 90s; the possibility to play the whole eastern front campaign vs human opponent is very exciting.
I'm looking forward to your reply

I don't know exactly what Jan means by having edited the scenario, but the following normally should do the trick:

Go to the WIR program directory.
Start the editwir.exe program
Type L (load data)
Type X (complete scenario file)
Type OBWIR as filename followed by Enter
Type S (store data)
Type X (complete scenario file)
Type OBWIR as filename followed by Enter

I've sent him a mail as well.
