That's right, Doug is an old TOAW hand and he's done a fair bit of playtesting of Daniel's scenarios.

I'm Daniel Gagnon, from Montreal, Canada. Just a TOAW grognard. Hard to believe a computer game has held my consistent attention for over 6 years now !!

Hi guys,
I'd like to thank Dan for sending me the new .SCE file for FiTE. Given the size of that beast and the sheer number of events involved it must have been a labor of love for him to go through and edit out the offending withdrawal events. I'll let my opponents know that we'll need to start over with the new sceanario as old save files won't work. At least we haven't gotten too far into the game. I'm also running a solitaire game of FiTE which I will continue with the old scenario file in the hope of reproducing the problem and, with luck, shedding some light on it.

Take care,
Ron

No prob, thanks for explaining. In Daniel's The Great War scenario Canadian units are elite one of rare Entente units with heavy rifle squads [;)]

You're right that the problem does not lie with the scenario itself. Seems like some sort of TOAW III bug.

Has it occurred with any other scenario? I've tested all the withdrawals in several of my designs (CFNA, France 1944, The Next War 1979), and can't induce it.

Daniel,
Thanks for the reproducable test case, I'm pretty sure it's fixed.

Let me know if the .SAL file I sent back fixes it, I'm pretty sure it will. If you've got all your units, that I've been able to find the problem, and it should be fixed for the upcoming release.

Thanks,
Ralph

Hi Ralph,
Did you fix the file by making code changes within TOAW? If so, does that mean that we can look forward to a patch that addresses this issue? Inquiring minds (and FiTE players) want to know.

Thanks,

Yes, I made a code change, scenarios in progress should continue to work the way they were suppposed to as far as I can tell.

HURRAH!

Not being the smartest person, does this mean that my 15 turn FITE from the.strategist.net website. With TOAW III, Version 3.017 isnt going to blow up in my face around turn "Gotterdammerung" Or does it mean that a future patch will solve the problem? Or do I have to download something? or none of the above but something entirely different?

Cool! Now, that we're in a hurry or anything, but will a patch correcting this problem be issued? If so, do you have a target date in mind? Inquiring minds want to know. [:)]

Thanks, Ralph, for everything you're doing to resolve this. For a part-timer you do a great job supporting this game. [&o]
