Gentlemen,

While experimenting with the British Gold campaign, I seem to have deleted the two opening scenarios. Would anyone be so kind as to send me another copy of the first two?? My email address is boutwell@erols.com

Thank you,

David Boutwell

David B. I will gladly send them to you if you can give me the camp # and I would also add that it does not function correctly with 7.0...ie mortar barges no fire and shipboard armament has a tendency to go all over the map, usually into the NE quadrant. I assume it was not updated. Let me know on this forum. <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="cool.gif" border="0"> <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Chief,

Thanks for your help! The Campaign is "Normandy Gold". The number, I believe is 009. The scenario that I lost was C009s001.

Thanks again,

David Boutwell

Praytell, who designed this scenario? I would like to speak with them, to understand certain design decisions that were made. For instance, in the landing scenario, I would have expected some resistance at the beach.. but of course I can't judge until I know why the designer made the decision.

Anyway, whose was it? And why is there no resistance on the beach?

IIRC, the inital landings on Gold went pretty smoothly in real life too. The naval bombardement had supressed the strongholds on the beach, so the difficulties come mostly from german arty and mines.

Boutwell: If everything worked out correctly it should be in your mail box, my first outgoing zip, hope it worked...let me know

The reason why I'm so interested in recovering this scenario is that, with all due respect to Drake's map-building skill, his Gold Beach map and scenario did not resemble the historical map and scenario. I have the battleground Europe Series' Gold Beach and After the Battle's D-Day Then and Now, and I could find no resemblence between Drakes work and the maps I saw in these books. For example, these books show the area encompassing King Beach VERY well (Mont Fleury, Mt Fleury Battery, Crepon, the "House with the circular dirive"). All, of these features are very important if one wants to model CSM Stan Hollis VC winning exploits. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't find these features and others in Drake's scenario. On the other hand, either the map in the campaign scenario, or possibly the WestFront scenario of this battle depicts this area much better (I can't remember which one). Only problem is I accidentally trashed the first two scenarios of this campaign while experimenting with the editor, so I can't find out which one it was. If I'm mistaken about this scenario, I'll gladly grovel for forgiveness to Drake.

By the way...where is Drake? I've seen nothing from him in ages!

I sent my Megacampaign didk to my brother. If I had that, I'd just go into the disk and find the files myself. I just sent him a request for my CD back!
