Chronology of War

[dlazov]

Is there a Chronology of War online anywhere? Or is there a file that has that info in it?

Thanks

My guess is that the ASL Scenario Archive site has replaced it.

 

[dlazov]

Ah yes, thank you! Did not think of that.

 

[dlazov]

Hmmm

Yes and no....

Its very limited, I wanted to see all the scenarios in North Africa from 6/40 to 12/42, sorted by date of year, month and date.



So back to my query, is there another database that we can query?

 

[grosbil]

177 scenarios, I think they are all there...

No those are just the ones in Libya, not in Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Syria and Algeria.

Also you can not sort by year, month or day for a real data set.

 

[grosbil]

If you choose DTO you will have more than 500 scenarios.
You can choose to sort by date at the bottom of the advanced search.

Also you can not sort by year, month or day for a real data set.

At the bottom of the advanced search, six options up from the Search button, there is an "Order by:" list. You can select Title, Rating, Date, ID, Publication or Random. That will allow you to order them by date.

I know nothing of the difficulty involved, so take it with a grain of salt, but it could be an ask to Dave to allow a multi-select list for country as another search option. Location is a free text field on the scenario, though, so the underling data might not be as easy to sort down without implementing more stringent rules for scenario locations (country being stored separately as currently search on location appears to be looking for a matching value in the entire string).

One more separate thought, which you may have already considered. There is a Chronology of War on the Texas ASL site here, which is an excel file that has 8,743 scenarios, though the last update was in 2020.

A full search of the Scenario Archive gives me 10,061, so obviously it's missing quite a bit of recent scenarios, but I saw your other post where you have 6800, and the excel file is easier to sort by the countries you listed. A quick COUNTIF gave me 466 scenarios between those five countries.

The scenario archive includes ACW stuff and other non-ASL in its collection.

How do you search for DTO? I am not seeing that option.

 

[dlazov]

Okay I think I sort of figured it out. There are 567 total DTO scenarios it seems.

 

[grosbil]

Yes same result for me

I stopped doing mine around 7-8 years ago , could not keep up with all the releases

This is a chronological list of ASL scenarios good to about 2011:

and two rows above that red arrow is an excel file that will answer all your scenario questions. It is incredibly detailed.

Thank you again for CoW. It was essential in my research of DASL scenarios. It has listings that are not in the ASL Scenario Archive.

Thank you again for CoW. It was essential in my research of DASL scenarios. It has listings that are not in the ASL Scenario Archive.

I checked the current listing in the Scenario Archive against the CoW and it does now contain all of the DASL scenarios listed in CoW.

That may have been as a result of your previous efforts or updates that have been done since then, but if you know of any that still might be missing, let me know so they can be included!

This thread is the ASL community at its best:

• someone of us has a question
• there are numerous helpful and kind answers
• and various crazies have in various places "done the work" in various approaches as labor of love

Thanks to all involved!
