Sandstorm let's play (replay style)

A suggestion to devs- just say all reported bigs are EASTER EGGS, congratulate the players on finding them, and your problems will be solved with barely lifting a finger!

Wustenkonig and Sun Hero scenarios added

Notes

- a very nice ending to an excellent DLC

I'm doing my second playthrough for Sandstorm. It's quite interesting because a lot of the scenarios are a bit different now. I\m playing on middle difficulty. Here are some highlights.

Operation Crusader:

- all primary and secondary objectives achieved
- no core unit losses
- no auxiliary unit losses
- Buq Buq taken

When I try this, it goes to Adobe and says it can't play it.

Here's how. First, don't try to start the .rec file directly. Your computer thinks its an Adobe file; mine want to start up VLC Media Player (which will not work).

Instead, extract the .rec file from the .zip file and place it in this folder:

Then go to Load Game but click Replays instead:

Select which replay to watch and click Load:

Heed this warning; as we have seen, there are problems with replays in 7.1.4 (see the Current Bugs thread). It so happened that the Herkules_2 replay started for me alright, but I did not try to advance it very far:

Problems arise when saving them, there shouldn't be any issues with older replays because of that.

And the above shown compatibility message can be ignored usually.

Thank y'all very much. I got things working now.
