Do you have to do anything special with the two map folders in the zip package or just extract them to the same location as the .sce file?

Check the "install.txt" file in the zip.

Yes. But its not for PBEM, so suck it you few Multi-Players !! [:D]
Edit: Should have mentioned that there are two versions, one for each side. Check the top of the Scenario Briefing to make sure you have what you want.

Hi I'm playing your scenario and I'm wondering if it's a bug or by design one of the Canadian brigades has only 1MP whilst the other 2 brigades have 7 I think, I've checked the equipment list and none of the three have any transport assets as yet any ideas
Thanks Ian

Seriously, prolly Stevo forgot to allocate them lorries. Which version of D-DttR?

This is from the scenario notes explaining why some allied formations move only 1 hex a turn:
"In playtesting this scenario it was found to be easy to find a gap and exploit it. This would result in completely unhistorical situations where the Allies would breakout within the first 4-5 days of the scenario. It was therefore necessary to implement a restriction to the Allied rate of advance. This is accomplished by giving Allied units limited transport assets and no replacements for these items until after a major port is captured. This results in initially low Allied Movement Allowances, and in some cases units will be reduced to a movement rate of 1 hex after some movement or combat. Seven days after a Major Port is captured (and every seven days after that for eighteen occurances), the Allies will receive Transport Assets in the Replacement pool which will automatically go to units and eventually improve Movement Allowances to normal levels.
In practice, this doesn't have the effect of reducing the Allied force to a robotic advance. There will still be opportunites to exploit initial gaps in the German line (as there were historically). But when part of the your force has a movement allowance of 1, it tends to restrict major exploitations and causes the player to plan a little more. This more reflects the historical situation."

There we got the answer and... proven... a jolly good choice by the designer (@Stevo: Never doubted that!).

Ok will read the scenario notes again however a permanent movement allowance of 1 is pretty low until I capture Cherbourg while all the other infantry units range between 5 and 7 mp

Did you navigate to the scenario folder where you saved the scenario ? What I mean is, it won't show up in the default Tutorial folder unless that is where you put it.
