Thanks everyone for the postings. Turning off the evil "H" word seemed to do the trick for now.

Why did I just download some scenarios from here and now they read fine in the game, but in windows explorer my Shock Force folders are in German? Including the scenario names Wierd..

I agree with Paper Tiger about the hot starts. In CM:SF the scaling and munition ranges are vastly different than previous titles. I honestly prefer a "safe" staging area, so that I can look at the map plan my avenues of attack and generally coordinate my actions to meet the objectives. Once I approach said village and or contested area, then, "Let loose the dogs of war." And from there lets see what happens. I can't imagine our forces huddled together in range of enemy tanks and atgm's to now figure out how they are to enter a village. Having strykers blow up and entire squads decimated as soon as I hit the start button is extremely frustrating. Todays tanks and missles are far too accurate at range to have a stryker standing still in the staging area especially in the low to no obstruction L.O.S. desert maps I've seen so far. I am sure things will get better as my Shock Force skills improve, but I would like to see hot starts mentioned. On a side note: Is there a central place where I I can find user generated scenarios? I keep checking Scenario Depot II but nothing there yet. Thanks in Advance.

Yes
