Hi Chuck,
your screenie looks super cool (or über cool [;)] ).
Would be a fantastic tool imo.
As I am a totally PC illiterate, I can´t & don´t want to make suggestions.
But you´re asking for ideas.
I noticed, that the scenario described in your screenie, is preferably played by PBEM.
So I would ask, if it would possible to implement a feature (without too much work & circumstances), that differences the scenarios, about to play preferably against the AI, or against a human opponent. (maybe in your "Sort Order" section)
But again & anyway: this looks awesome. [8D]

Dear th1207,

That is a good idea, indeed. The "Best played as" information is not a structured piece of data, but is usually in the scenario description section. To the degree I can recognise it I could "filter" on various indicators. I have not yet heard from Jason about releasing the App, so I will try and see what I can do.

Another idea I have come up with has to do with the AAR I posted on this very scenario. How much desire is there for a "Notes" field which could hold AAR, Win/Loss, strategy and tactics notes etc. This would involve a data file on your disk drive which this program, ScnPick, would be aware of. I would really like this idea, but it would involve some effort. How many would like this?

Keep these great ideas flowing.

Thanks,

Chuck

Folks,

Because of the freeform "Best played" information I have come up with a choice of displaying the title, or a best attempt at the designers suggestion of play. Here is what a "Best played" list looks like.

Chuck,

You are quick to resolve problems!  I like the new addition too. 

What we need are naked women!!

Big Dawg,

For that you will have to build a scenario involving an intercept of the 34th Women's Mortar Batallion, on their way from Maikop to Krimskaya.

Folks,
 
The ScnPick program has been released in the "Mods and Scenarios" folder.
