I am sure Seb is already posting this at his great web-site even as I write this!

But if you would like a direct E-mail please e-mail me at JesseHousley411@MSN.com

this is a 3 pack, Stalingrad, Kursk, and the long awaited "A Bridge Too Far"

OOBs attached are for all 3 scenarios.

COMMING SOON, JAPAN 46.... (in-play-test-now)

Wow, these are some impressive looking scenarios.
Question though, why did you have to make new Oob's? And then how would you suggest that we deal with the backing up of our exisitng Oobs's, do we just back up the ones you have changed, or all of them? And I'm sorry I have to ask this question, but how do you back them up, copy them to a disk or what and how exactly?

I rarely get the chance to play of 40 or 60 turn scenario wihout it taking several weeks anyway, doesn't it get kinda confusing having to switch back and forth the Oob's if you want to have more than one scenario going at one time that require different Oobs?

One other question, why can't I rename the Market Garden scenario like I could the other two?

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, and double thank you for developing some really awesome loooking scenarios. I'm looking forward to the Invasion of Japan already.

i will surely do it M4, but had not recieved the scenario yet. Just send me "The Bridge too Far" scenario since the other 2 have been published already. I unpacked the scenario pack for better fitting in the website sections, but there they are. Waiting for them comrade.

I mean...for it lol.

Hey M4, nevermind sending it again...seems i didnt see it in within the 40 e-mails that arrived today. It has been published now. It´s great the level of detail you achieve with maps, even the biggest ones. Thats what i call patience.

You can get A Bridge too Far scenario and many other exellent scenarios by M4 Jess at:

"why did you have to make new Oob's? And then how would you suggest that we deal with the backing up of our exisitng Oobs's, do we just back up the ones you have changed, or all of them?"

The modified OOBs are mostly transport units to carry larger units, like 90 man squads, I use a oob temp folder and just copy and paste, I do suggest you keep a hard copy of your OOB in another location incase you might delete it. I attached all OOBs but I did not have to, I guess I could have just sent over the modified ones.


"doesn't it get kinda confusing having to switch back and forth the Oob's if you want to have more than one scenario going at one time that require different Oobs?"

not really, just copy and paste.

"why can't I rename the Market Garden scenario like I could the other two?"

Thats new to me I will check it out

Hope these answers help!

Don't mess with the .cmt file!!! If you edit this file - maybe if you just resave this file - you are asking for utter disaster when you open Editor and go looking to load the file. Might even mess up just straight play. Got so bad I couldn't even display the NAME of the scenario in Editor, the app would simply CTD. Not very politely either, IIRC, there were bizarre video card effects, that sort of thing.

You can renumber to your heart's content. You can change a "save" file to a "scen" file so you can work with it in Editor, then change it back to a "save" file.

But I have never, ever been able to edit a .cmt file and get away with it.


If you mean "why can't you access a given file, then maybe it has become Hidden or a Read Only, which you can change from file properties sheet.

Sorry, I think I meant to write: Don't mess with the .txt file. The memory goes second .... I forget what goes first.
