This is the most convoluted and difficult method to download custom scenarios. I was able to download ClaudeJ's dropbox file and import it into the custom game using the game's import custom file button in the game menu. However, downloading .txt files to make .dat files and .jpg to create .png in Paint is way too cumbersome for me. Why? I have a ton of your scenarios Rico that were made for ToTH... they were easy to add to the scenario bank?

Hi All

Firstly thank you Rico for jumping in and getting the ball rolling! For now I will host the scenarios until we can get something better setup.

Custom Scenarios

Is there a plan to make the scenarios available through Steam's Workshop ?

Hi ClaudeJ

Yes, we have started to investigate that. Can't give you a timescale at the moment.

Custom Scenarios

I was able to download and import the scenarios very easily using this new setup. Thank you. Since ToTH I have enjoyed Rico's scenarios and I am able to start one now in V&V.

Awesome news Lance.

Thank you, Rico

Make sure to create a folder with the same name and put the files in it FroBodine.

As demonstrated in post #4, one can easily link a convenient package with the files ready to be played. The forum is not to be blamed.

The forum is absolutely a problem. You can't just download the .txt and .jpg files. You have to open them, copy them, then save them to the proper file type using a text editor and a paint program. At least I can't just download the files. When I click on the links (other than the dropbox one which works great), the text and picture just open in a window and I have to copy them.

Downloading them doesn't work in this forum for me.

Oh yeah - I got all the scenarios to work after mucking around with the file names. Thanks Rico!

And thank you for hosting all the new user scenarios, Yobo! Much appreciated and it makes it a LOT easier.

none of that worked for me. i just unzipped in the steam v&v scenario folder. works...

Scenario n°5
Speirs,Speirs...

<name value="Brecourt Manor Assault"/>
<picture value="Brecourt Manor Assault.png"/>
<introduction>
June 6, 1944. Brecourt Manor, France.
Upon arrival at the battery location, Winters(101st) made his plan: he positioned a pair of
machine guns for covering fire and sent several soldiers to one flank to destroy a machine gun
position with grenades and provide covering fire. Reinforcements from Company D, led by 2d Lt.
Ronald C. Speirs, arrived to complete the assault. Speirs had a reputation as an excellent and
extremely aggressive officer. Winters also directed the fire of two American tanks which
arrived later from Utah Beach to eliminate remaining German resistance.

2nd file

Hey Rico! Always liked your ToTH Scenarios. I was wondering if you could make your newest V&V scenario into a .zip file for easy download and installation?

<picture value="Wittmann Tigers in Villers_Bocage.png"/>
<introduction>
June 13, 1944. Villers-Bocage, France.
Operation Perch with the 7th British Armored Division (the "Desert Rats") aims to outflank the
German Panzer Lehr division in order to fall back on its rear by surprise. The village of
Villers-Bocage is located on the path of this progression but the British are unaware that
elements of the second company of heavy tanks of the Schwere SS-Panzer-Abteilung 101
commanded by Michael Wittmann have been positioned since the previous evening between the
exit east of the city and Hill 213, the highest point set as the Allied objective that day.
