How long is a scenario in long campaign?

[Panzerman]

Hi everybody!

I'm an old SP relapse victim. Used to play SP2 and 3. I have also tried this version before a couple of years ago and now I just reinstalled it at work to play some rounds while waiting for computer to finish processing.

I just started a German long campaign, sept -39 to apr -45 (I think?) and chose like 18 scenarios and a core size of 2000 I think. Hm.. Or was it 1000? Never mind. Didn't want it too big anyway http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Now, I'm sure this is answered somewhere but I've searched the manual and forum and didn't find an answer anywhere, so:

How many turns is a scenario? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/confused.gif

A scenario is as long as the designer set it up to be.

For a generated battle, it will depend on the battle type - meeters are shorter, then advance/delay, then assault.

In any case - you get to decide now in the view map screen at purchase time, you can spin the v-hexes, or manually place them, redraw the map if you don't like it, and edit the scenario length and visibility.

in the Game Guide - See the "Purchase Screen" link, View Map box, and the link there will take you to the "View Map" section of the GG.

In the View Map screen you can e.g. use the " Redraw the Map for the Current Opponents" button - some battle times for the 2 opponents can have alternate battle locations, especially in the LC. Press that a few times, and you may get different batloc results (e.g around Caen, you may get city map fights (Caen itself), urban (Caen outskirts), or just in the Orne valley or other Normandy bits etc for e.g. UK vs GE in 6/44. Use the " Redraw Map for the Current Battle Location" button to stay with the same batloc but a different version of it (e.g. it may not draw the stream across the middle of the map next time, or even decide not to have one).

Also, as the campaign progresses and you build up unused repair points - we now allow you to use these to buy more support troops for a battle (at a premium) should you decide you need to. See the "Repair Points" box of the Purchase Screen Section.
