Thanks Silvanski.

The download in Rugged Defense for this scenario includes a readme.txt file with comments by the author. There's also a BMP for a ballon in 3D view.

Well, Marco...

It's your turn now to create a scenario of the Italian Unification War(s)... Giuseppe Mazzini and Giuseppe Garibaldi springs into mind, si?

It would be beautifull ... unfortunately I am lacking both the ability with the editor and the competence in military history :-(

Roma non fu fatta in un giorno

So, simply play around with the 19th century database and give it a try, si?

Guys,

I admit to being an idiot. I downloaded this but don't know what to unzip to where. Could somebody please give me a step-by-step walk-through on how to do this? Thanks.

Happy Holidays!

Never mind I figured it out...but I'm still an idiot.

BTW, the Deutschesbund should be the Norddeutchesbund. The former dissolved after 1866. The Prussian added Nord to remind the Austrians they weren't wanted.

A good and very entertaining lecture (not boring!) regarding the subject...

Good lecture although the fight the Danes put up is always underestimated. See my two articles in https://www.amazon.com/Germany-War-volumes-Military-History/dp/1598849808/ref=sr_1_15?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1514141825&sr=1-15&keywords=Zabecki .
