Hold on
What happens if you are playing one of the scn with the Panzers missing , if you replace the scn with the same name withe the panzers added my feeling is the whole scn will NOT WORK ( sadly )

Hi Michael,

Once you start a scenario, changing the scenario itself has NO impact on the saved game being played. There is never any danger of a current game being impacted by a change to its base scenario. The OOB is a different matter and does impact games in progress.

Everything in the scenario file itself is copied to the saved game WHEN YOU START IT. So changes after that point will not show up, ever. Units added to the scenario after that will not show.

Scenario files are not the same as saved game files, that's the bottom line.

The scenarios are not, that is true. But the problem lies in the OOB which, regardless of if it is a scenario file or a saved file (.bte or .btl) it uses the OOB file (and map files too). So, once you begin a scenario it takes the data from the scenario file and sort of duplicates it because the scenario is the start point and as you play it the data is altered.

Any changes to the OOB take immediate effect. If a unit is removed from the OOB an error occurs because your scenario or save is referencing the missing unit. If a unit is added to the OOB nothing happens (and you do not notice it until a restart) because the saved scenario was saved before the unit existed and, as such, the unit is not being referenced. It really all comes down to unit ID numbers.
