Wild Bill,

Check your email for my Arnhem scenario. Post it, trash it, whatever.....

Thanks,

David Boutwell

Our most competent testers are giving it a final run David and then a home will be found for it, I'm sure...WB

Mind if I take a look?
Regards.

Hello David ! I see you finished this big scenario - Congrat

Perhaps the locals spell it Arnheim, but on many english maps its Arnhem. Probably along the same lines as your maps say Munchen and ours Munich etc. i did search national geographic and yahoo for the Arnhem spelling and both provided many links to sites spelled the "english" way. interesting to me how the practice of changing the names came to be. i doubt many US cities are "re-named" on maps for the rest of the world. probably to help some dummy pronounce it easier, though i dont see munchen/munich as a good example of that. and no, my keyboard doesnt do umlauds for the proper spelling of munich. sorry if im too off topic. jp

Fabio,

Once Wild Bill's guys have given it a shakedown, I'll definitely send it your way.

Thanks,

Marauder,

Nice to hear from you again! i don't know if a scenario this complicated will ever be "finished". There are so many things that can be tweaked or manipulated. But, I'm done with "version 1.0", anyway.

That's interesting, Jaques. Maybe, doing an Internet search using the German spelling might bring up some new information from the German perspective of the battle, although it will probably be in German. All of the English text books and websites, and even the Dutch ones, that I've seen have spelled it "Arnhem".

I was supposed to move to Munich several years back, and when I was in Germany, I was confused by how to pronounce Munchen. Language differences are funny that way.

To Truckeye:

proper spelling of munich.

Don't bother with "umlaut", you can substitute them with "e":

Münich becomes Muenich to simulate umlaut and other examples:

grüssen --> gruessen (bye)
über --> ueber (on)

and so on.
Bye

i knew about the "e" trick, but in this case i thought it would just add more confusion i figured someone would tell me a trick about hitting several keys at the same time to get a secret umlaut symbol

To Truckeye:
you may try those:

[Alt] + 132 = ä
[Alt] + 137 = ë
[Alt] + 139 = ï
[Alt] + 148 = ö
[Alt] + 129 = ü

Bye

ask and you shall receive! thanks, this board is great. now that i know, ill probably never need it again :p

FYI guys,

It's definitely Arnhem, it's a town in the Netherlands. Locals spell and pronounce it as such.

Arnheim is probably German, it's got definitely nothing to do with the Arnhem of the Market Garden Operation.

And I'm looking forward to playing it!

Many towns in Europe near borders have names in their original language and in that of the neighboring Country, at times because it may have changed hands several times over the centuries.

Arnhem is a Dutch town. The Dutch call it Arnhem, the Germans Arnheim.

Arnehm is not an "English" spelling, it is the proper spelling.

Arnheim most certainly is not, and the Dutch inhabitants who suffered 5 years of German occupation and had their town severely damaged by the fighting, in which civilian casualties were suffered, to liberate it would have taken exeption to anyone suggesting otherwise.

Fabs,

OK, let's see if I got it right;
Arnhem is Dutch
Arnheim is German
Arnehm is English
