Scott B Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Hey all, The team is in the midst of a webpage move. We are having some issues with the old site at the moment and are working on getting a brand new one with improved functionality (specifically a searchable database; this makes updates a lot easier for us). We have a temporary page up for the time being at Wyatt Barnett's 3dwargamer.net page at the following address: http://www.3dwargamer.net/bootsandtracks/ We only have a limited number of our scenarios on the database right now, but we do have some stuff to offer right now: The Kursk Pack: "Opening moments" by Rune "Ghost column at Rzhavets" by Kinch "Point 256" by Kinch "Scorpions on the Steppes" by Kingfish "Ponyri Express" by JWXSpoon (Franko's awesome Prokhorovkha scenario is still in production.) We also have several other scenarios to release that we were not able to have released at the old B&T site: "B&T-Panzers in Finland" by Rune "B&T-Sword of Bagration" by Scott B (two versions - one for vs AI and one for two players) "B&T-Thunder on the Dneister" by Rune "RD-Chernishaya Heights" by Scott B All of the new stuff - both the individual scenarios and the Kursk Pack - are available here. We hope to release the round one RoWIII scenarios shortly, as well as a handful of others that are currently in testing. Thanks for your patience as we've worked through some technical difficulties. The new site should be a lot easier for all involved once it's ready to go. Scott 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott B Posted July 20, 2003 Author Share Posted July 20, 2003 Also, the team has had a few personnel changes. As a result of real life conflicts, Keith Yeates and Terry McLaughlan have had to step down from the team. They both put a lot of time and effort into making Boots & Tracks what it is, and they will be missed. In addition, the team has brought on several new members through a variety of methods: Robert Bunting Larry McGarvey Richard Rogers Chuck Rohde Marc Sullivan We welcome these new members and look forward to new projects and many new scenarios in the future.

_Axe_ Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Thanks for all the effort guys. And to those coming onboard, welcome. You've got some *ahem* big boots to fill. Cheers, Jason 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWB Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 A few comments here: The DB thing has been in the works for a while but has been rolled out a bit ahead of schedule due to current circumstances. In any case, I consider it late beta software and am all ears in terms of comments and suggestions. Also, as of right now about 90% of B&T's cmbb battles are in there. We are working on getting everything else in there, but, for now, enjoy. Enjoy. WWB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJK Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 The scenario/operation search is great, thanks for that guys! One little thing, the column headers for "Date" and "Type" are reversed on the results page. Good luck on the new site design! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Woo Hoo! Just this morning I was thinking of posting the question "Anybody got any fresh new scenarios for me?" Looks like my question... and my prayers... have been answered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott B Posted July 21, 2003 Author Share Posted July 21, 2003 As an aside, the old B&T webpage is still down and I have absolutely no idea when it will be up. If anyone needs one of our scenarios from there, e-mail me and I will be happy to send it to you. Thanks! Scott 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 I played one of their scenarios last night and had so much fun I figure this thread deserves a big bump. If you've run through all the CD scenarios and all the Stalingrad pack scenarios long ago and have played one too many generic Quickbattle, I highly recommend picking up these. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWB Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Thanks Mikey. Not like I would bump our own thread. Really, I wouldn't . . . WWB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWB Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Cpt. Cook All appears to be working fine. Make sure you are not clicking on people's forum signatures, I suspect many have not updated them.

Richie Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Sheesh, it all looks good to me !!! All those links seem just fine. :cool: Congrats on the new appointment Wyatt. [ July 24, 2003, 01:29 PM: Message edited by: Richie ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt. Cook Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 This is weird. I just can't seem to bring up the site. I get a new window, normal, but an error box appears and says the attempt failed. It is the correct (i.e. new) URL, and I have tried typing it in manually. Same result. I'm on an iMAc with recent IE. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh. Well, that's no good. Would you prefer that I send you the scenarios directly for the time being? This site is a temporary solution anyway (albeit already prettier and more reliable than the old one). Scott 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott B Posted July 24, 2003 Author Share Posted July 24, 2003 E-mail sent. We'll be getting these posted at the scenario depot within the next few days as well.

Hmm, this is odd. Do you have another browser you can try? I am not sure if this is a browser issue or a connection issue. Trying another browser will help narrow down the problem. I suspect it is a connection issue--I am not doing anything odd, wierd or platform specific on the site. There is not even a lick of javascript involved. Then again, I have no facilities to test much of anything on a mac. WWB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt. Cook Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I rarely have these problems and yes, I don't believe or meant to imply it was a problem with your site. Just wondering if I was the only one, which I was! And now it comes up just fine. Crikey. Sorry folks. Nice site, btw. Heh-heh.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWB Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Some visual tweaks and a whole bunch more of our battles are up. Come and get em at: http://3dwargamer.net/bootsandtracks WWB PS: This includes one new operation. And our new members Bios are appearing rapidly. Learn why Marc S is so evil.
