Thanks, Bru, I know you're busy. The scenario ain't goin nowhere till ye git to it -- but my question was more general. Are you going to continue to be the CSI sweeper when requested? I have a bunch more coming, and I'm sure a lot more from other folks!Thanks, guys. Conboy, I have to finish sweeping the Germany East 1945 campaign, but that's only two more scenarios. Then I will look at your "Low Vosges to Strasbourg" scenario, per your invitation.
The easy answer is "Yes I will" but I shouldn't just let it go at that. I should also add that the quality of the work must be there for me to be interested. You qualify in that regard. Also required is the impression that the designer is carefully reviewing and weighing what I have said; not necessarily accepting it all, but at least considering it. You also qualify in that regard. The third prerequisite is time, of course, but that's for me to work out according to my schedule and competing interests.

I insisted that he retain authorship and by-line. These campaigns are his inspiration; the maps are his creations; and the designation, calibration, placement, and movement of armies are his skill. My contributions will be the campaign file constructed according to outline, and in each scenario file, all of the settings and triggers needed to accomplish our goals.
We are sharing a Dropbox folder for this purpose so it is not likely that there will be any usable downloads available from this thread. Erik will control the release and updating of these campaigns in the usual manner.
Erik and I invite our fellow forum members to "look over our shoulders" and to leave comments and suggestions. Feel free to drop by our studio, any time!
Oh, and as to the name, Erik came up with "BrucErik" which I thought was rather nifty, and "CSD" stands for Campaign and Scenario Development.
Heh, thanks. No worries about quarreling; Erik is in charge! Besides, despite our both being forum moderators, we cannot even ban each other.
), I resolved to replicate the map hex by hex in a new file, using printed screenshots from the bad file. That's part of the frustration; the bad map will load in the editor but the game will not start it.
One question, will you be historically naming units if possible or just staying with the generic naming? I know it's more work so I wouldn't really be disappointed if you decide not to 
Sword is a prime candidate for some mine-pruning. After playtests have deemed it neccessary of course.GabeKnight wrote: ↑Tue Oct 08, 2019 1:04 pmThe other two beaches look just fine, but you do plan for some more openings in the minefields of "Sword", yes?
