Heads-up on a scenario name - confusing - John Given - 08-18-2009

Hey everyone, the scenario "Reign of confusion" is aptly named.

There is a second scenario in the database called "* Reign of confusion" - very confusing indeed!

Both versions spell a lower-case "confusion" in the name.

I tried to start a game of the one set in Germany, and my opponent thought it was a file error and started his own game for the AFRIKACORPS version and sent it to me - now we have two games going, and neither one worked till I found out what was going on.

1. He didn't have the "Germany" setting version downloaded.

2. He had zipped the Arikacorps scenario incorrectly - putting the file inside a folder, then inside another folder - like one of those Russian dolls.

Adding to the uh, confusion, both scenarios are 18 turns in length, allies start each one, and the allies win about 2/3rd's the time in each.

Just thought I'd point this out to everyone.

* Reign of confusion / El Quabassa.scn - von Niemack

Reign of confusion / Recht-Poteau.scn - Niemack/Möbius

The "*" means that it was being developed for the Blitz West Front add on disc.
Probably a case of "he had a good title"? ;)

*Reign of confusion was included in the Matrix 1.04 update. So, I guess care will be needed to sort them out.
