A Close Run Thing

[K K Rossokolski]

If this is any help, a while back I had the idea to update some of the old stock WF scens, with the view to incorporate some of the important changes this great old game has seen since the early days, particularly but not only the great change in transport ratios.
I obtained agreement from the hierarchy whilst advertising my intentions on the board. These were agreed. I concentrated on the .scn file, making alterations mostly to the SPs both to change the transport numbers, and alter the SPs of combat elements to push the scenario (most of these old WF scens favour one side or the other quite markedly) back to the middle.
There was no opposition expressed, nor indeed much interest, apart from a wise head or two suggesting I was wasting my time. They were right. I did a few, dropped the idea and found other fish to fry. The changed scens (different file names) remain in the DB, along with the originals.

Huib is right. Find a battle that suits you, do the research, start from scratch. Getting the map right is half the battle. OOB...you will find many interpretations of who had what, especially if you move out of the comfort zone of Germany/US/Commonwealth. Take which authority you trust, or split the difference between two different sources. The Scenario Editor....well IMO the toughest aspect to get right is the victory conditions. Good Luck.
