Hello all,
I am wondering if I can find anyone here who is willing to host a preview of my next scenario, since I do not have a website of my own. It is in ToT, as it is to my understanding that many people here do not have ToT and do not feature those scenarios on their websites. The preview consists of only a couple screenshots and some text. I tried emailing William Keenan because of his Cradle website, but haven't gotten a response in a few days. Oh well. Any takers?

Thank you Prometeus! Can you add the text, or should I just do it?

Title: Final Days
Date: June 1942 - December 1945
Who: Field Marshal Enrich von Manstein, Commander of Army Group South
Where: The Ukraine, Cacasus, and Balkans
Primary Objectives: To sieze an control vital oil fields in the Cacsus Mountain region, and to
capture and hold Stalingrad, providing a vital defensive line along the Volga
river.
Secondary Objectives: To ensure that oil fields around Lake Balaton, and that Hungarian capital
remain in German hands.
Briefing: You, Field Marshal, have been chosen to lead the German armies to ultimate victory over
our eternal enemies. By taking the oil fields in the Cacasus mountains, we ensure a supply
of fuel that will not only provide us with the ability to fight on until the last day of the
war, we deprive Russia's mechanized divisions of its vital lifeforce. In addition, you must
smash the Reds at Stalingrad, a city that churns out roughly 1/4th of the enemy's vehicles.
When we control the Volga, we have a strong defensive line to protect against any massive
Communist assault. In addition, the factories in the Ural mountains will finally be within
range of the Luftwaffe that may blast them to rubble. Once your primary objectives are met
it will only be a matter of time before Leningrad and Moscow fall.
If the unthinkable should happen and you are unable to immediately complete your primary
objectives, there is still hope. You will co-lead another summer offensive, code named
operation "Zitadelle" (Citadel). You will strike at the Voronezh Front positioned inside
the Kursk salient from our southern positions at Belgorod. The Communist forces inside
will be crushed, leaving the rest of Russia relatively defenseless.
However, if fortune does not smile upon the Reich we will have 1 last card to play. Operation "Watch on the Rhine" will be launched against our Western enemies. You must
hold on to our last oil fields with minimal reserves. The longer you hold out, the more troops we may use in the assault, thereby increasing our chances of success. This will buy us time to complete the developement of our super weapons, which no nation will have a chance to stand up against.
You will have at your disposal Germany's latest in military technology, including the
strongest variants of the Mark IV, Panther, and Tiger tanks. Our Italian, Hungarian
and Romanian allies have entrusted you with the command of their armies as well. But
beware, our enemies are aggressive and fanatical. They will prove a difficult challenge
to overcome, but I'm sure you can do it. Good luck Field Marshal!
Estimated Date of Scenario Release: December 2000

Yeah, I got a hold of William. He told me he was busy. I sent him the exact same preview that Prometeus posted here. Oh well.

Incase anybody is interested, right now I'm playing the scenario myself to weed out the most obvious bugs. Hopefully I'll have it ready for playtesting within a week. I can get a lot done over thanksgiving (who knows, it may be ready before then). Anyone with ToT interested in playtesting for me? Thanks.

Oh damn, people are interested. Err, what I really mean is, thank you for your interest...
I've hit a snag. The events for the battle at Stalingrad are not working right. A bunch of soviet units won't pop up and I don't know why, so their counterattack doesn't have enough power to flush the Germans out of the city. The human player is supposed to get slaughtered here because the main idea of the scenario is to play on the defensive trying to save the crumbling Reich. That will never happen if the human player obliterates the enemy at Stalingrad. So give me a couple of days to figure out the problem and fix it. Sorry.

I think I've fixed the problem. I was having trouble getting the checkflag event trigger to work to produce enemy units. I suspect that you can only get this event to work once, and then it stops. I've tried using the continuous modifier but to no avail. So I used the good old "give technology" trick to produce enemy units. It should be fine now. I'll have to write up a readme for you guys, so playtesting should be ready when I finish that. In the meantime, I can sent the dll, icons, and sound files. Anyone want them?
