Atheory's Project: PzB-Normandy Campaign

[berto]

So it should be possible to prepare a _huge version of the PzB EXEs that blocks program load of the pictorial unit counter graphics, that only loads Unit Card and NATO unit counter graphics, and confines the display (with suitable menu gray-outs) to on-map, on-counter NATO symbols only.

No lock-up!  It works!  Where "it" is a special test pbedit.exe I have just built that discards the pictorial unit counter graphics, that deals in the pictorial Unit Card and on-counter NATO symbols only.

So, if players of these huge scenarios are willing to play them with NATO symbol unit counters only, problem solved!  No data changes necessary!

The game would then have

* pbedit.exe, pbedit_huge.exe
* bon.exe, bon_huge.exe

and whatever other _huge variants might be necessary (can't think of any).

So???
