Here is a list of the the scenarios that I have modified, tweaked, updated from either lost archives going all the way back to TOAW I, and converting them to TOAW III and then updated into TOAW IV and in most cases added new features of TOAW IV to these scenarios. There is a few of my original ones. So far I was only able to get permission from Trey Marshall on updating his scenarios.

Here is the list of the 20 scenarios where I modified the colors of the counters to be more like board war games.

Bulge 44
Campaign For North Africa 40-43 v.11.0
Campaign For North Africa 40D-43 v.4.0
Campaign For North Africa 41-43 v.13.0
Campaign For North Africa 41N-43 v.10.0
Campaign For North Africa 42-43 v.4.0
Campaign For North Africa 42O-43 v.10.0
Cherbourg 44
Cobra 44
Falaise Pocket 44
France 1944 Cobra v.4.0
France 1944 D-Day v.4.0
Mortain 44
Normandy 44
NormandyRommel 44
West Wall Germany 1944
West Wall Holland 1944
West Wall Holland 1944 (PBEM)
Western Front 1944-1945

Note: All of the color mods in my scenario tweaks also use my 2D Board wargame image mod as well as my 2D board wargame counter symbols mod.

If there is any interest in these I can zip them up and put them in a dropbox folder and share a link if folks would like to download them.

I would wager it would be near impossible to contact the vast majority of scenario authors from before III and very few of those from III.

Yeah that was my issue when I was working on those.

Yes please post them to a DropBox so we can all enjoy them. Except maybe DMcB's, I don't think he has changed his position on not sharing his scenarios.

There is a few of my original ones.

A few of the titles don't look familiar . . . yours? Along with Ambon, your scenarios are the ones I would like to try first.

Thanks for posting.

Regards

I am not sure if it is the same DMcB but I did see an obituary for a DMcB last year. For those who previously had contact with him it may pay to check to see if DMcB is still alive and if so, has he changed his position. If it sad news that DMcB has passed on then is there still a copyright?

So many Daniel McBrides. Just looked on Farcebook. Very popular name.

Zovs,

Daniel McBride is on Matrix forums. His last posted comment was four days ago. Here is the URL for his member page:

I would be delighted to lay hands on your update of "A Bridge Too Far". I've been tinkering with the OOB and other bits and pieces as well as trying to convert it to TOAW IV for... well.. far too long. I would be great to see how "somebody who knows what their doing" has achieved!

If you could please zip that one up so I can download it I would greatly appreciate it.

Regards

Rescue 193

I would like to see Drang Nach Osten in TOAW IV. I see that on your list, can I download it from somewhere?

Update on member page for Stauffenberg since new board came online.

Good news folks. I now have permission from both Trey Marshall (all 11 scenarios from the TWW series) and Daniel R. McBride (all 8 of his series of scenarios) to publish the modified work I have done on their original scenarios.

I'll need a week or so to gather up all my file modifications and I'll post a link to them here (the zip may be large since I have a lot of Word Docs or PDFs that will be included along with eqp files and other files). The link should be to my DropBox folder which I'll create.

I also have I think 23-25 other scenarios I have resurrected, modified and or updated but I have not been able to contact any of those original authors. Some of this authors go back to 1998 and I just don't know what to do with these files.

I'd like to upload them as well and if the original authors object I can always pull them down.

In the briefings and any Word docs I give full credit to the original authors.

Usually something like this in the briefings:

"Version 4.0
11/10/2020 - by Don Lazov
- Converted to TOAW III
- Corrected all spelling and grammatical errors in the scenario briefing

Version 3.0
5/1/1999 - Troy Ritter
- Original scenario creator
"

I will get Trey's up and ready first and then Daniels followed by the others, and I want to do one more sanity check out of respect for all before I post them. So please be patient.

Lastly, it always is worth the wait to do something right and proper and seek permission before posting original modified work.

This is something I have to see to believe. He wouldn't even answer an email from me as recently as December. Can you post something you received from him?

I’ll update all the docs with his permission notes.

But or now here is my "proof" if anyone disbelieves my integrity.

Very happy for this!

Zovs, is there a link to these? Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see it.

I am still working on packaging everything up. I have had some life experiences over the last month that have impeded my progress. Once everything is ready I'll post a link to a DropBox link since there is a lot of scenario, and files in the work I have done.

Great job. "Dr. McBride I presume."
