JSS On to Paris .!

Battles In Normandy is the third game in the Decisive Battles game series. Battles in Normandy recreates all aspects of the Normandy campaign, from the landings on the first day to the final climax of the campaign at Falaise. Strategic Studies Group rewrote the Decisive Battles game engine for Battles in Normandy with a host of new special rules for amphibious and airborne operations, plus a huge number of other enhancements.

JSS On to Paris .!

Post by phalanx »

Having great fun playing Bin......[8|]..........I Dl'd JSS' On to Paris Scenario and it loaded correctly into my scenarios folder....When I click on the Scenario to play...it kicks me back to the BiN homepage!.........
I noticed that when the Scenario Load bar is activated, it is only on for a split second like its not really loading.
Hoping someone can help me with this because this game reminds me of all the old Avalon Hill games I used to play in the '70s :)..

Rgr JSS...
Thanks for replying.....Yes its loaded into "On to Paris" scenario....not "Paris"....
Seems like some files arent loaded because the "Load Scenario" screen takes only a split second...The Scenario is listed- like it loaded successfully into my scenario Folder. The name "On to Paris is there".......I can click on it and it goes to the Options screen for the scenario....Like Allied player Axis player etc. Then, when I click "Play", it drops me to the small opening BiN Window..
I really want to play this, so I uninstalled everything and re-installed the game, then v101 and then your scenario-no dice..I DL'd your scenario from the RUN5 webby, not the mirror listed in one of the forums........Thanks for any help :):):)

And, in this scenario, after Cherbourg falls, and the SPs adjacent are destroyed, how long before the supply turns from yellow to green?

If there are other SPs "X" hexes away, does this matter?

Supply starts on turn 40 (with replacements). As long as the Allies own it, ships will off load at the pier[:D]

Folder name and path names normally don't matter... sometimes it does seem to make a difference with the installer[&:]
