Yes...the winds blowing south from Belgium contain a VERY strong odor of cordite. And that noise! It's like God's Kettle Drum, booming in the distance. Just look at the fields around us.....the grain shakes and the poppies quiver just moments before the sound reaches our ears!
A vision rises before our eyes, yea a certainty even. Dark and grotesque, it is. A great scythe shall surely slice through these very fields, but the harvest won't be grain or corn. It is hot and it is August, and somewhere Mars chuckles and sharpens his blade.

A ha! It's definitely a WWI scenario. 
To me though, all WWI scenarios seem the same because they only let the war play out like it did historically... Costly battles where hardly any land is exchanged, and rarely are cities captured, if at all.
Will this one be different?

Borders between countries? I think I can make out Belgium, Luxemburg, and the Franco-German borders. That yellow-ish terrain...

Seems like another example of your good work, Kull!
I think it differs form Allards Western Front (I have an eraly development version of it on my HD).
The rivers seem interesting.

Stefan: Basically yes. I always wanted to do a "Guns" scenario, even though it's light years away from my usual stuff. I heard about Allard's project and suggested we resurrect it. I'm using many of the units from that scenario (are they mouth watering, or what?), although at least 50% of mine are "new" (i.e I put soft-capped heads on the bodies of the British troops, added horse artillery, updated some of the machine guns, gave a similar "look" to each nation's artillery, etc, etc). Allard seems to be heavily involved in real life at the moment, so after some initial consultations I've pretty much carried the ball to this point. Hopefully he'll pop back into the picture.
SCDARS: I think you guys will like the rivers. Hopefully another "of course, why didn't I think of that?!" moment. 
Bebro: This is the first time I've done a "scenario preview" BEFORE completing all the work. Hopefully I won't suffer the jinx that seems to affect most of these announcements. The research, map, & units are all in place, but there's still a LOT of work left. I'd like to think it's a month away, but probably it's more like two. As the events are tested and each area is solidified, I'll post more "teasers".
Polaris: I haven't heard of Scott before, is this his first scenario?
Back to work!!

I was involved in this with Kull at the start, but I seem to have no time to make my promises about this true.
Still, Kull has completely recreated my scenario, you could easily say he created a whole new scenario, instead of continuing it.
Kull has some amazing ideas, very revolutionary, which I am of course not going to give away now.
The borders are just one little part of the new ideas. It simply serves to give the player a sense of reality and also of where he is at the moment with his offensive..
All I can say, is that almost all things in Terrain2.gif are used for different things than normally.
