Stock Scenario?

[Sgt Barker]

Looking at the S41 scenarios I find that "Drive on Smolensk" is big and very balanced. It says it's a stock scenario (xp2_smolenskrevised.scn), yet I don't find it in the game folder. I've downloaded the expansion pack of 10 scenarios from HPS, but don't find it there either.

What am I missing here. Besides the scenario of course. :conf:

Mike Avanzini's XPak2 is more or less the defacto standard I think.

Mike works with HPS on a number of projects as well as his Maps are part of virtually every HPS Game now. You can download his scn pack from this location.

Thanks much!

Ahh, breakdown/recombine. Those came later in the evolution of PzC, and was retrofitted into S41?

Well - when the system was developed there was two games on the table Smolensk and Normandy - both very different games designed by guys with different ways to do things.

So, to answer you question, Breakdown and recombine was in teh game from the start but I think the guy who got going on the first of the series wanted to keep that title simple.

Over time, people more or less liked the breakdown - particularly for the Germans at least on East Front titles so Mike retro fitted that game and I thik it is what most gamers continue to play.
