New Waterloo Campaign Mod!

All right boys, THIS IS IT! This is the one we’ve all been waiting for. An historically accurate Waterloo Campaign, 4 days, 252 turns. Wait till you see the Emperor’s personal escort, the massive Troupes à la Suite, including the Polish Lancers! Wait till you see the uniforms on Wellington’s escort, and all the other exciting uniforms collected by FM Bajan. This is a new oob that emphasizes Brigade Command & Control. All brigades (Prussian regiments) may operate independently as they did historically. It’s up for play testing at H2H. Click H2H Productions (top right corner of Blitz front page), then Scenario Development, and then Napoleonic Games and that will bring you to the scenario page. or go directly there:

The scenario is entitled Four Days in June. The scn, oob and pdt file may be directly downloaded into your main waterloo folder and will not interfere with any present games. The units and weapons files will, so please put them into a separate folder, to be used for the play of this game (when playing, put our "units" file into "info" and "weapons" file into main folder, save the stock files in your separate folder.) von ege :)

5:30 16 June in our playtest; looks like this one will go the distance through 18 June. I've identified a coupla tweaks wanted for Anglo allied army, but they wont matter for a while.
The oob has the Prussians organized into Treffes, as they were historically. All regiments have commanders, cav is presented in squadrons, artillery in sections. No infantry unit more than 600 men; Prussians and some Allied and the rare french batalions are split in two.
Units file is eye candy AND greatly aids command and control.

I don't quite understand the downloading procedure.

I don't currently have any games of Campaign Waterloo going on. So, can I download all the files into my Main Folder or will that effect any future games of scenarios (excluding Four Days in June) that I play.

Thanks,

BELISARIUS

The Units and Unitbox files (I hope Unitbox was included in download package) which go in the Info folder are different than any others, and will screw up the look of any other scenarios. The PDT file, which goes in the main Campaign Waterloo folder is also different but will not affect any other games. The weapon file is different and will screw up other scenarios.
To be safe, it's best to save the original (or easpecially any other you may be using) Units, Unitbox, and weapon files to a separate folder. Then download the Units and Unitbox files to the Info folder and the PDT and weapon files to the Campaign Waterloo main folder.
The scenario and oob files, which go in the main directory do not affect any other scenarios.
Just incase, any stock files located on the game cd can always be selected from the cd and re-downloaded.
The reason some files will screw up other scenarios is they have names which cannot be changed.
