Just a bump, and another plea for assistance. Harv ------------------ Get The CM Scenario Database Here: http://wbr.thegamers.net/boots_tracks/index.asp

I had to bail on a game with Lt. Bull, and I don't have his e-mail. If you have it, could you please send it to me. Thanks, Harv c.harvey@sk.sympatico.ca

Whoo Hoo, my name beside The Master of Scenario Design. Thanks Bill, Harv ps. there is an update in the works...please stay tuned to this station for more information. We now return you to your local programming. ------------------ Get The CM Scenario Database Here: http://wbr.thegamers.net/boots_tracks/index.asp

Just a short anecdote: in a game vs the AI I had an 88 and a 75 bunker. The 75 was taken out in the first turn by a Stuart (the bunker never got a shot off), but the 88 survived for 16 turns, and took out 4 Fireflys, 2 Sextons, 2 Stuarts, 2 MMG Carriers and 11 Shermans. It had too many hits to count, and lost 2 crew. However, I think the only reason it survived for so long was that most of the shots directed at it missed, as it was on a hill, and most sailed overhead, or impacted in front of it. Maybe I had it hull down? Anyways, I really have nothing to say, just wanted to tell my story. Harv ps. Maybe Henri could start an "AAR Writing Workshop" for the storily challenged.

....my velcro gloves weren't working properly, so I...

Go here: http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/Forum6/HTML/000811.html Good feedback about these scenarios being good for training. Harv ------------------ Get The CM Scenario Database Here: http://wbr.thegamers.net/boots_tracks/index.asp

We (as in the CM community) have got to get Henri someplace where he can post his AAR's and maybe some screenshots too. They are a most enjoyable read, and I have learned a great deal from them also. Having them on a website would allow easy access for the masses, and would probably ensure that Henri never gets any sleep. As was stated on war-historical, a couple of screenshots would be great for seeing the action, but none can be posted there, and you need webspace to post them here also. Of course this is all easy for me to say, as I'm not the one doing the work (unless I learn HTML) but these AARs are just too good to let them fade away. Harv ps. I could convert and format the AAR's into Word or something. If I come up with an idea, I should do *something* to see it through.

Thanks Bill. They say it's only work if you don't enjoy what you're doing (whoever They are). One hint I can give with regards to the depot... when (if) you get to the main scenario listing screen, right click on the scenario name and select "open in new window". Then, after you download the scenario, it will take you right back to the list. This will save much time and frustration waiting for the page to refresh, and hopefully will keep you from screaming at (or worse) your monitor.

TacOps. That is the only other game I have ever had that is still on my hard drive, and I still fire it up every month or so. Harv ------------------ Get The CM Scenario Database Here: http://wbr.thegamers.net/boots_tracks/index.asp

Treeburst, I think I have all of the files from the depot still. I can zip them up and send them to you if you want...though I show 218 of them. Might be a largish file. Harv ------------------ Get The CM Scenario Database Here: http://wbr.thegamers.net/boots_tracks/index.asp

Good idea Wolfe.

If it wouldn't be too much trouble for all you scenario designers, could you e-mail me your new scenarios also when you post them to a website. Please indicate the version #, and where your masterpiece will be hosted. This would help me immensely with the upkeep of the database, and would ensure that I don't miss including any in the updates.

Jeez, whoda thought I'd have to fire up a tractor to drag this thread all the way back to the first page. *bump* Last one until I'm back from ...... wait for it ...... do you live where it snows? .......... do you hate the cold? ........ yes it's ............

*Harv weakly attempts to diguise this as a bump* I think you owe me one GB. Still can't use the mouse with my right hand, but I can type a bit with it now...this is progress, I hope.

Thanks guys, it was a pile of work to set up, but the updates are a lot easier to do now that I have the basic format set. Karch, yes I did get it, but promptly lost it along with everything else people had sent me when I used the delete key one too many times, and I couldn't remember who had sent it. Maybe drop Wild Bill a line and see if they want to have it all available in one spot also. Sorry about that. Harv ------------------ Get The CM Scenario Database Here: http://wbr.thegamers.net/boots_tracks/index.asp

This will be the last update for a while, but I don't think I've missed any to date. Let me know if I screwed anything up. Harv ------------------ Get The CM Scenario Database Here: http://wbr.thegamers.net/boots_tracks/index.asp

Thanks guys. And yes I am off to warmer climates next week...Palm Springs Hopefully this stinking RSI will be better when I get back and I'll be able to actually play CM again. Harv

Now available for your viewing pleasure. I'm afraid this will be it until I'm back from holidays around the 20th though. Harv ps. Happy Birthday Wild Bill! ------------------ Get The CM Scenario Database Here: http://wbr.thegamers.net/boots_tracks/index.asp

Nope. Harv ------------------ Get The CM Scenario Database Here: http://wbr.thegamers.net/boots_tracks/index.asp

I posted this in the scenario section with little response, so I'll try it here also... Just wondering if you could post which version of the database you use...the Excel Workbook or the CSV version. I'm trying to determine if it is worth the effort to have both. Also, please tell me what you might be using besides Excel to access the database...ie StarOffice, Access etc. Thanks, Harv ------------------ Get The CM Scenario Database Here: http://wbr.thegamers.net/boots_tracks/index.asp

So here I am at 3am, still not sleeping, and typing with one hand because using my right hand hurts too much. Details to follow... For pretty much the entire month before Xmas, I sat at my computer and worked on the database, cruised the net and played CM. On Xmas eve I noticed a stiffening in my right shoulder. An hour later I noticed some pain in my right shoulder. Two hours after that I discovered a whole new world of PAIN in my right shoulder, along with a stiff and sore elbow and numb fingertips. I apparently have been introduced to the wonderful world of repetetive strain injury, and would like to pass along a warning to everyone to GET UP!! Take a break, stretch do whatever, but DON'T stay in a crappy posture for hours on end if you enjoy sleeping, eating, or even opening a can of soda. This sucker was able to sneak up on me due to a long spell of cold weather, and I encourage all of you to avoid it using any means possible.
