I'm putting together some usage notes to help you guys trying to create alternative UV scenario files. I'm not finished yet, but I did want to get some of the more important issues out to you now. I will try to have the complete document out soon. The main issue I wanted to cover here was saving files, and the limitations you will encounter. Rich Dionne

Rich,
Thanks for taking the time to put together some documentation for the scenario editor. Wish this had been completed before release so that we would know the do's and don'ts of this scenario editor. I sure hope that you get the rest of the docs done soon so we have some chance of making new scenarios without trashing something else unintentionally. I also think that you should give a complete list of scenario files, including the ones that contain the scenario descriptions. I took scenario 19 and edited out the extremely lame premise about the Germans crushing the Russians and Rommel taking Suez so that the Japs could send more troops. If you took that lame premise to it's logical conclusion then the Allies would have been even more adamant about the Europe First policy and would have considered Port Moresby and Guadalcanal expendable as this would have been a mere sideshow compared to Europe. The Allies probably would have also shifted troops and planes and ships to Europe to meet such a different outcome in Europe. I simply leave the premise as the Japs decided to send more troops from China to this theater and I hope the scenario designer for scenario 19 will do the same. I sure hope we'll have explanations about the particular data fields we see in the editor and what they do.
Thanks,

Eric Larsen
