I made up a separate folder of "downloaded scenarios" and put all the ones I download into that folder.

EDIT: That is, the folder is in the "scenarios" folder

After unzipping the file, the folder with all the graphic files should be placed in your "graphics" or "altgraphics" folder within TOAW. You will know if you have done it wrong, as it will inform you that you are playing with a wrong equipment file when opening the scenario (and half your units are in funky colors).

The .sce, .bmp and .pdf can really be place whereever you like. Just make sure you remember where so you can locate them when you browse for the scenario within TOAW.

hi snef,

you whopped me in this scenario

The Scenario has a really professional presentation and incorporates a lot of interesting features, congrats!

Thank you.

Even if the main version has now been released, it will still be interesting and informative to hear peoples experiences with the scenario.
That'll help when I at some point get around to updating it.

I've sent the newest version to Rugged Defense for upload, but haven't heard anything for nearly a month. I'll put up the latest version here until it gets added to RD.

The scenario jumps from v1.0 to v1.2 as there was a "limited edition" added inbetween.
