Scenario remakes and other tidbits

[zap]

Okay, another puzzle. I'm playing "meeting engagement at Bogoduhkov" when I go to the search function here and type in that name it will not take me to the page. But if i type in "Bogoduhkov" it will take me to it. Here's the strange thing. My opponent comes here and does the search he can get the scenario using both ways. I wonder why this is? Does it have something to do with my end? Maybe my virus protect?

No, nothing to do with anti-virus. More likely a typo, but hard to say. I cut and pasted the above into the search, with nothing else selected except custom scenario under "type" and it came up immediately. You could try using another browser in case it's a caching thing, but that's extremely unlikely. All I can say is it isn't a website thing, the search function is working as intended, as far as I can see.

Ah, I think I know what's going on. You're using the magnifying search tool at the top of this page, right? That searches the entire site for any and all words in the search string. So it finds "engagement" on the rules page and "Meeting Engagement" on a Civil War scenario. You can search for Zap and it might find posts where you've been mentioned, or your bio page, or you could enclose the search string in quotes, like "Zap is looking for an opponent" and it will only find that exact sentence. No quotes and it will find Zap and looking and opponents. Tips on searching can be found here: https://time.com/4116259/google-search/ Those tips are pretty much universal, not just google.

Where most of us at the Blitz search for scenarios is the area meant specifically for that. It only searches that column in the database under "scenarios". When searching for scenarios, go to the scenarios button in the top nav, then click the "search scenarios" link at the top on the right: https://www.theblitz.club/scenarios/b-15...ion=search

Now try your search for Meeting Engagement at Bogoduhkov.

My sleuthing work here is done.

A scenario that does not have a download. Done by Jason Petho. EF   "A Battle of Encirclement"

Not sure if he decided to pull it to balance it out better. Comment make it in favor of axis. Or is there some other explanation.

"[This scenario is intended to be played with the Blitzkrieg EFII expansion pack installed]"

I'll let Jason explain, but my guess is he didn't feel a 100 turn scenario should be included with the stock JTCS games(?) So you'd need the original expansion pack installed. Just guessing, though.

Expansion pack, which I don't have. so it would not work for me then.

[Jason Petho]

No, that won't work with the stock JTCS

The Odessa and Smolensk related scenarios will all be rebuilt and included in East Front III.

playing the EF scenario (Clash at Malakov crossroads ) with Hawk. He noted this:  "Just so you know.  The German 2 Wespe SP Artillery units and the Hummel SP artillery unit cannot fire.  
 They are in the OOB but where not added to any organization, so they have no HQ".

Is their an easy fix for that?
