[techumseh]

Here's a couple of screenies: first, the Red Devils at Arnhem.

It's looking very grand!

I like the new cities!

Hey B. - press shift-z when you load up a scenario. It normalises the resolution to your screen res. and makes the graphics appear much better

Played through plan C - it's hard! Have you made things trickier since the last iteration? I must have got lucky the last time I played as I didn't clear Nijmegen until the 23rd this time. I was also down to my last Para defending Arnhem, which is a sign the balance is perfect.

Events seemed to work fine and I received appropriate reinforcements. That new minefield at the start line was a sneaky trick There were no apparent bugs.

This baby's as ready as it's going to get - I can't recommend it enough to anyone who owns ToT.

It's a brilliant bit of work by you chaps.

A perfect way to honour the memory of the men who battled in that campaign!

Didn't know that. Thanks.

Yes, and now it's a bit harder yet. Did you get your 20 units with a LOC within 3 squares of Deelen at the end of the game?

Thanks! I couldn't have done this without your help. The artwork simply makes the scenario, and your advice and playtesting have improved things very much. Thanks also to Curt and Jim Panse for playtesting. Unless JP has some last minute problems, I'll get this up late tonight.

Market-Garden has landed.

The OM-G scenario is now available on my newly revamped site. I hope you enjoy it. Cheers! http://www.tecumseh.150m.com/

OMG

[curtsibling]

This is a victory for Civ2!

Time to stick some Dio in the player, and get this scenario going!

[Leonidas]

Yeah

I'm downloading now.

Thanks for all the hard work on this one.

After all these years we are finding stuff Civ can do (random scenario options) that newer games can't.

That's why Civ rules. . .

Hope this random stuff can find its way into more scenarios.

Cheers!

This one will set a new standard in Civ2!

[Ceteram]

Thanks alot for many fun hours of civing!

One negative thing though, is that when I'm about to move my units, they look like the Original ToT ones.

[typhoon]

You have to turn off animated units in the game options

Make a new backup folder and put in it all the files marked .spr from your 'original' folder.
