Everyone,

Here's another set of great Divided Ground scenarios by Alan R. Arvold:

Quote: DESIGN NOTES FOR “INTO THE VALLEY OF TEARS THEY RODE”

Back when I first got the game Divided Ground, one of the first scenarios that I played was “Valley of Tears”. I found the scenario to be intriguing but was plagued with some historical inaccuracies. I also tried the linked campaign series for both sides of the 73 War up in the Golan and again found the scenarios in them filled with inaccuracies. I then resolved to correct these inaccuracies and make the Valley of Tears scenarios more historically accurate. But first I had to do some research on the subject. I found that there were six separate battles over four consecutive days, although some histories tend to blend these battles into three or four. Another factor was getting the equipment and vehicles right for each side. Divided Ground does have some inaccuracies in its orders of battles for the various sides, despite the work of various gamers in improving them over the years with numerous patches.

They can be downloaded here: LINK.

I don't unfortunately own Talonsoft's Divided Ground, so should you observe any issues with files please report here.

Again my thanks to Alan for sharing his work with the community

Anyone wanting to play DG, but don't have the Talonsoft disc, you should be able to play my mod of it, try this-

Quite a few new Talonsoft's Divided Ground scenarios available for those lucky ones who have the game.

See for details in this Matrix CS forum post HERE.

Four more of Alan Arvold's DG scenario sets added.

Fours sets of Avalon Hill Arab-Israeli Wars boardgame scenarios added to the Blitz Scenario DB!

Petri, which ones, so I don't have to search, I've downloaded so many now!!

Do a Search Scenarios on Campaign Series -> Divided Ground, and put "Ode To" to the scenario name.

Search result should be the four sets of scenarios, Ode to AIW I through IV.

Ode to AIW (14 scenarios) and Ode to October War (15 scenarios) are now available in the Scenario DB.

That's 121 DG scenarios in total, something for you DG aficionados to pass the next three days until CS:Middle East is out this Thursday

My sincere thanks to Alan R. Arvold for sharing this mighty impressive war game collection with us Blitzers

I tried it and still asked to insert DG disk.

I have another link ready, a patched version of the game, you might have missed something, mine does not ask for the disk!

Make sure you are unzipping this into the JTCS directory, and NOT an existing DG folder! It will make a folder Divided Ground.

Let me know, please!
