Hi,:salute:

I've created and scenario based upon "Bastogne". I'd like some help from someone who can tell me how to download the text file so that I can add my objective, mission etc...

Many thanks!

PS: The scenario is quit the challenge as I have had several people play it and like it, Nemses lead included (He only got a minor victory).

Scott,

From the CMAK manual:

LOAD BRIEFINGS Allows you to load in three text files which
will be displayed as briefings to the player(s). Create three different
text files in any word processor, each one to do the following:
Text file 1 General Briefing, will be displayed to both players
before starting the game and choosing sides
Text file 2 Axis Briefing, will be displayed to Axis player before
setup
Text file 3 Allied Briefing, will be displayed to Allied player
before setup
These files MUST be in text format (extension *.txt for PC) for
CM to understand them. The names of the files are not important.
The Load Briefings dialog will ask you to locate these files, one
after the other. Pay attention to the sequence of the briefings, which
always is: General, Axis, Allies. After finishing, the text of the
briefings will be incorporated and saved with the scenario file (do not
forget to save your scenario before exiting!) You can click Cancel
anytime during the process, which will abort it. Any briefings loaded
will be incorporated into the scenario, however.

If you want to make changes to your briefing texts at a later
time, simply edit them in your preferred text editor. You will then
have to go through this menu again to update them for the scenario.

Note: There is a hidden feature that allows you to output the text from
an already compiled scenario. This is great if you lost your originals or
wish to use someone elses text as a template for your own. To do this,
simply hold down the SHIFT and CONTROL keys when you click on
the Load Briefings button. You will go through the same sequence as
when loading briefings, except that you will be asked to specify where
to SAVE the briefings TO in plain text format.
