@soko1991, nice work. I was able to place them in my Scenario folder and look at them as individual scenarios. I haven't played them yet, but wanted to ask you something about the Egypt and Persia maps. On Egypt, there are 20 deployment slots, but due to the spots available, I'm only able to place 8 ground units and 6 air units during the Deployment Phase. The remainder would have to be placed on Turn 1 after moving the previous units to make room. On Persia, it's the same thing. There are 32 deployment slots, but can only place 14 ground and 13 air during deployment. The rest have to be done during Turn 1. This may be a quirk because I'm loading it as a Scenario and it's messing with the deployment area that would normally be available if played as a Campaign. How do those maps work out during the Campaign? Is there a deployment area that has enough room so you're able to place everything?

There are not enough deployment hexes.

This may be by design.

Strange...

If I check it in the Editor, it seems to be perfectly alright.
For the Persia Scenario, for example, there are more than 40 deployment hexes for ground units...

Does anyone know the reason why they don't show up in the Scenario?

@sokol991, I wouldn't worry about it; I just wanted to try them as a scenario without playing through the maps I'm already familiar with. Looks like they have to be redesigned to play as scenarios and it's not just the deployment spots. I loaded Persia back up thinking that there's 30 turns, so who cares if I have to deploy in two waves. Ran into another problem: the starting Prestige is only 2200 and not nearly enough to build a 32 unit army. So, it looks like individual scenarios need to be setup completely different. My guess is that you need to choose and place most of the Core army (much like the current scenarios are done). Then leave like 4 or so spots open and let the player decide what to get with the 2200P. Either that, or start them off with an ungodly amount of Prestige so they can buy the whole army. That is, if you want to make them playable as standalone scenarios (it might not be worth the hassle?). Oh well, don't have time to start a new campaign right now, but will give it a shot once I finish up my current one. They look like nice maps, though. Maybe someone could help you set them up as scenarios. A lot easier to test out for you if they can be played that way. Oh, though I wasn't able to play the map, I found this funny little thing you may want to fix:

Sub way out of water (this is located in about the middle of the map):

@AgentX: I've reached the Libya scenario in my current campaign - deployment is ok. So, yes, maybe it's only an issue if you try to play those scenarios single handedly...

I was laughing my ass off when I saw the submarine in the middle of Persia!!

"Colonel Winters! What's the problem? Why did you stop the advance?!"
"Sir! One of our tanks was hit by a torpedo, Sir!"
"Winters!! I told you not to smoke that stuff while your on duty!!"

Your proposal is good - if anyone wants to test those scenarios, it would be the easiest to just add huge ammount of Prestige.
That's basically one mouse-click in the Editor...
