Pip , would love to see Merr's quick battles in the download section of BA
so i can play them on my ipad.

When you have a spare moment of course.

Cheers
Ian

am i an idiot? i cant download even with that new link. what am i missing?

The links are working for me. Love playing these maps for short skirmishes, I have given more units to the AI to make it more challenging, and I am modifying the maps to be attack vs defense against the AI. Not sure I can distribute them but contact me if you are interest in that variation of play.

I would be interested in those mods.
Also I see OldManRick has posted a couple open challenges with Merr scenarios with the word "depoly" in them,
are those from you? I don't know where to find them here, looked a bit.
I'll echo everyone else and say it would be good if these were in the user content download section inside the game,
because they are quality. Might get a wider variety of opponents, too, so I can win a few scenarios lol.
Instead of me getting pummeled by Rick or Random27 all the time, heh.
Maybe its a copyright thing, if Merr has gone on the lamb...

Cheers,

The hard version right now only has more AI units, around 4 times the ones the player has and I still I am able to win nearly every time. I will probably give more advantages to AI, like starting moving first as it takes more time to reach key positions.

For defense/attack variations it is even worse, defending is much easier even against more enemy units. So probably I will make a change between the two, when AI is defending you have to capture all VPs, but when the player is defending the AI needs to capture only one or maybe two VPs to win.

Merr's QB MP games are pretty darned good... Really nice randomisation of maps and forces... The German Hetzer, played cleverly, is definitely on my "I want one of those" list... So far played two; lost one (by being stoopid, lol ) and won one (by being sneaky )... @OldManRick, are your MP deploy games for both sides to deploy? Or just the Allied side? I thought there was an issue with the MP setup so only one side can deploy? Would be awesome if you've solved that...

I received a private message request for the location of the Merr Deploy scenarios, anybody have a current link to both the V1 and V1.1 games?

I have them all here. I will try and find somewhere to host them that isn't official as we can't contact Merr to get his blessing to put them on the system .

Cheers

Pip

Do you know what's happened with Merr?, he has disappeared from the forum since April.
Is a sick problem?, work?.

No idea unfortunately. We've tried to get hold of him, but to no avail. Hopefully everything is OK and it's just real life getting in the way!

Cheers

Pip

Okay thanks Pip, anything you can do unofficially would be great for folks I'm sure.

By the way, I have no idea where I got the scenario "Clash of Armor Remix" either, lol. Two people have asked me on the forums now, because I have a game posted.

Any ideas on that one?

Isn't it one of the new MP force selection battles, or does it just have remix in the name too

Cheers

Pip

actually I think it says "Redux" which makes it one of yours right?

can anyone convert these so ipad users can download them via ingame download copy and paste the only one i have seen is little stalingrad thank you i love this game

So where are we on these? Have some of the solo files, but would love to see any of the MPs... Pip?

Hmmm. I thought I had them all squirreled away but I can't seem to find them. I will look.

Cheers

Pip

If you can't find them I think I have most of the Merr files. If needed I can get them to you.

So did anyone manage to find these files and either post them (preferably as .LST) or have them as .zip?

Here they are...

Hmm, I'd be happy to post these on dbox for everyone, but I'l struggling to do so. I understand that the structure of the .LST should be something like:

FILENAME CR2.lst

[0]
NAME CITYRIVER2.CPF
SHOWNAME CITYRIVER2
DESC CITYRIVER2.CPF
MAKER Enric
TYPE 1
SIZE 1
#URL https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/361 ... 2.CPF?dl=1

but when I unzip the file you kindly provided, there's no .CPF file, but a folder with files and subfolders, none of which are .CPF.
I'm using an iPad to play BA, and don't have a Windows BA file structure to use as an example, so perhaps this renders it too difficult to explain?? If not, let me know.
