another option

If you are interested in playing the Market Garden campaign but are a little put off by the size of Hells Highway. There is an option. A scenario called The Long Shot by Steve Niemack. Im currently playing this one as a team game 2 v 2. It is an excellent scenario, The map depicts the action from south of Nijmegan when XXX corp arrive, to Arnhem after the 1st Airborne have landed. The OOB is very accurate and it is specifically designed as a team game. It is only 32 turns so is far more manageable. After all, 475 turns as a team game is going to take a couple of years to play The scenario is available at http://users.skynet.be/niemacks_place/

map blackout

On my map the top left and bottom right sections are blacked out.Does everyone else have this or is my version buggered?

[John Paul]

You might have a version compatibility problem with the scenario. Do you have the latest Game version for the one you bought?

 

[Von Brownhoffen]

Do you mean patches?(I'm a bit of a computer spastic)

 

[John Paul]

From one spastic to another Go to talonsofts homepage and there should be a link for patches.You will want to download the patch for the package your game was,ie if it was europe in flames download the one listed under europe in flames etc.Just remember to follow the instructions for downloading to a tee.Though i think its reccomended you finish all games you are currently playing before attempting the download.

I love it when a plan comes together

Cheers beers,your a life saver.

Von Brownhoffen.

 

[LT COL KILGORE]

MY MAP LOOKS THE SAME. I BELIEVE THE SCENARIO DESIGNER MADE THE MAP THAT WAY TO SAVE ON FILE SIZE AND THOSE AREAS ARE NOT USED IN THE BATTLE.

 

[John Paul]

...OOPS!my bad,just trying to help a brother out and look at the trouble i've caused.

 

[Von Brownhoffen]

No worrys mate,I needed the patch info anyway.

Thanks again
