RE: WSF Strategic Options Bug

This one is for you if your interested. If you open this test.scn file in WSF you will see the scenario description is screwed up.

I opened the Scn file attached and the discriptions looks fine to me

There is a problem here alright - you have added two one axis and one allied. One at 1941/06/08 and the other 1941/06/15. Each has two Operations - one blank and one with rienforcements. The issue I see is the reinforcements in each is 1941/05/15. I'm not sure how or what the program ill do with the logic where the rienforcements arrive BEFORE the Strategy is selected.

Quote:I think the program is reading everything after a first character '0' (after the header 0's) in a new line as the scenario description, but an Allied strategic option uses a first character '0' as its identifier also. Thus everything after an Allied Strategic Option in the scenario file is being incorrectly read as the description. Hope that makes sense.

It does - but I am not seeing the issue because when I load the Scn I can see the scn discription fine!
