Additional Campaigns and Scenarios?

Tue May 22, 2007 6:18 pm

Can we get an inkling of when some of the intermediate length scenarios (i.e. single theatre or single year campaigns) might be released? I know AGEOD is working hard on fixes and improvements to the game, so this is not a criticism, but just hoping for something meatier than the battle scenarios for someone who is not yet ready to take on the whole war.

one is in the testing, but the betas are either busy or have moved to others interests... perhaps we can do a public beta testing on this half campaign, this would speed up issues finding...

Sounds OK by me, if y'all post it I'll certainly try it out.

Mon May 28, 2007 9:34 am

Has anyone played the the Western campaign beta scenario yet? Is it difficult or am I a bit thick?

Hi
Pocus posted the beta of the western campaign scenario on this thread a week ago.
http://www.ageod-forum.com/showthread.php?t=4102

Although is only a beta, maybe the scenario could be linked in more visible place on the forums. :sourcil:
Right now is difficult to notice or find it exists...

Here is the direct download link
http://www.unbase.com/n/3782824239

By the way, i haven´t tried it but i plan to once i have some free time...
Cheers!

Hi

My strictly unofficial :innocent: instructions are:
There are 4 files on the zip you have to copy and paste them manually like this:

the .scn file goes on "scenarios" folder
The two .inc file goes on the "includes" folder
The .sct goes in the "scripts" folder

I have tested and works ok: you find the new scenario with the other ones on the main menu. Its the one with the "funny name" :niark:
I have opened it and seems to work OK.

By the way: i thought it was the complete war on the western theater, but is a shorter (24 turns) scenario: western campaign from late feb 62 to late feb 63.
Cheers!

It's probably a good scenario for a first timer limited area and units. certainly much easier to get a grip on things.

Actually I find the mid-length scenarios, such as Montcalms 32 turn game, far more enjoyable than any of the short 6-10 turn scenarios. Also the mid-length scenarios are a very nice change of pace from the exhausting marathon of the complete war type scenario. The lower unit density helps as well. I wish there were more scenarios of the mid-length.

Concur, and I think they make for good PBEM fare too.

Thanks for the link!

I concur that these medium scale scenarios are the best for time starved people like myself.

I just tried all the links and was unable to access the beta mini-campaigns.

Does anyone have a workable link?

The wiki has lots of room, e.g. for this sort of thing :)

These smaller campaigns would be a REALLY big draw for people like me who only have so much time to devote to gaming. Please, please, please restore the beta links or (better yet) release them already!

I did try the one year western theater scenario and it seemed in pretty good shape. As far as I can remember it still needed updating for the new HQ rules.

I agee it's very important to have at least one mid size scenario, the small ones are nothing more than a simple learning tool.

Cheers, Chris

I second that
Forrest said something about killing a Yankee for each of his horses that they shot. In the last days of the war, Forrest had killed 30 of the enemy and had 30 horses shot from under him. In a brief but savage conflict, a Yankee soldier "saw glory for himself" with an opportunity to kill the famous Confederate General... Forrest killed the fellow. Making 31 Yankees personally killed, and 30 horses lost...

He remarked, "I ended the war a horse ahead."

I'd really like to see that Eastern campaign, too.
