Finally here are sample American and Japanese events:

I've finished updating my Waterloo 1815 scenario. 14 total updated.

Here are the commanders. Only one was not on the canned list:

Here are the two hierarchies:

[Curtis Lemay]

Here are the two formation lists. Note the sizes, flags, and arms. Note the 32-character names:

[Curtis Lemay]

Here are a sample of units. Again, note the flags & arms. Note the 32-character names:

This scenario needed Alternate Forces to be set:

This scenario was a candidate for command radii. But I wanted it to remain a beginner scenario so I omitted that complicating feature.

OMG! I finished the update of my Cambrai 1917 scenario. Took seven days! First, the original scenario and the source material for it, had no hierarchy or commander information => so I had to research that before loading it into the scenario. Then, there were gobs of "returned" units in the scenario, which, under the old paradym had to be effected with duplicate units. Now there are "Return Unit / Formation" events, so I removed all those duplicate units since returning them is more realistic. However, this changed the OOB. That would have been fine if I had obeyed my dictum on hierarchies: Finish the OOB before generating the hierarchy (this also applies to the Commanders: Don't assign commanders until you've completed the commander inventory). But I forgot both of those. This causes all sorts of problems that required all sorts of gymnastics to fix. But, it is finally fixed and finished. Gasp!

Here are the British and German commanders. Of the 45 commanders, 29 had to be created.

Here are the British and German hierarchies:

British and German Formation samples. Note the 32-character names and formation sizes, arms, and flags:

British and German unit samples. Note the 32-character names, unit service arms and unit flags:

This scenario uses a modified counter icon graphic (for the biplane counters). But that means that it doesn't use the new counter graphic with the fix for the supply icon. So...I had to modify the graphic included in the scenario-specific folder. Once done, both the biplane and supply changes show in game, as this screen shot shows:

Note that this issue will apply to any scenario that uses modified counter graphics.

This scenario also had a need for a few Alternate Forces, so those were generated. Here are the British and German Alternate Forces:

I've finished the update of my Killer Angels 1863 scenario. This finishes the "Minor" scenarios. It took 22 days to update 9 scenarios (about 2.5 days per). Much longer than I planned. Oh well. The next ones will be from the "Major" column.

[Curtis Lemay]

Here are the commanders used. Of the total of 28 commanders, only 3 had to be created.

[Curtis Lemay]

Here are the Confederate and Union Hierarchies. Unlike for Cambrai, commanders and hierarchies required little research, making this a fairly simple update.

[Curtis Lemay]

Here are the Confederate and Union formations. Note that the original scenario only had one formation each for the two armies. Here they've had the corps split out.

[Curtis Lemay]

Here are samples of units for both sides. Note the use of 32-character names and service arms:
