[Karpova Station, 30km NW of Odessa, Ukraine]: [H2H][HIS][CSL]: At dawn on the morning of August 18th, the Rumanian 3. Army Corps launched an attack to seize the Karpova Railway Station. The 3. Dorobanti Regiment of the 11. Infantry Division was to advance towards the Russian positions without preliminary artillery bombardment. The Russians were holding the line with the determined 97th Infantry Regiment, 95th Infantry Division whom were standing firm in their trenches and bunkers. An hour after the attack began, the Rumanians supported the stalled attack with a battalion of armour from the 1. Armour Division and an assault battalion. By 07:30 the station had was captured, but at a high cost to the Rumanians. Thirty-two tanks lay damaged or destroyed on the battlefield. [ALL][NONE][1.05]

[Jim von Krieg]

next, you'll be telling us to FALL-IN... Oh, you are so bossy... LOL.. good idea...

[Jason Petho]

*laughs*

Thanks, boss.

[Herr Straße Laufer]

Shall we wait for the 1.05 version update to follow this pattern?
Or, should we make our scenario updates now?

[GD]----------------------Guest Designer
[BZ]-----------------------Blitzkrieg H2H Designer

[BZ] only for H2H approved or for any that have been worked to PBEM balance?

.... Sir!

I printed out the two pages and put them next to my monitor. :smoke:



RR

[Jason Petho]

Feel free to implement as soon as you wish!

Jason Petho

[Herr Straße Laufer]

Sir. Yes .... Sir!

Though, can you let me know who is a BZ and who is a GD? :conf:



RR

[Jason Petho]

A GD, guest designer, is a member who has a scenario included in an official UPDATE or release that is not a member of the CS Legion or Beta Brigade.

A BZ is a member of the blitz releasing scenarios through the H2H system.

Jason Petho

[Herr Straße Laufer]

O.K., what if you are neither or both at the same time? :rolleyes:

I'm not trying to be difficult. I just don't understand if it applies to the scenario or to the designer of the scenario. :chin:

RR

It applies to the designer.

If none apply to you, then "NA" should work.

If you are both, then GD overrides the BZ designation. The GD designation means you've been asked to include scenarios for an UPDATE.

Sir. Yes .... Sir!
