Divided Ground: Four new 'Battle of Khan Yunis' scenarios by Alan R. Arvold

[Crossroads]

Great news, Middle East 1948-1984 has now been officially announced! Wish us luck!

Meanwhile, those of you who've still got the Divided Ground install, here's four new scenarios by Alan R. Arvold for your playing pleasure. My thanks to Alan for sharing his work with the community!

From his design notes:

[font="Courier New"]In the game Divided Ground, there is a scenario entitled “Red Sheet”. It is about the initial battle for town of Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip. Like all of the scenarios in Divided Ground it was done in a hurry and without much research into the actual battle.

In my program to update the Divided Ground scenarios I came upon “Red Sheet” and found a flawed product. Oh the scenario set up generally follows the historical one, but the unit designations for the Arabs were way off. Not only that, I also found that there were four separate engagements to take the town during the first three days of the 1967 War.

Instead of just up dating the original scenario, I decided to expand it into four separate scenarios, one of each engagement.[/font]


Again, I don't have the game so any issues or observations please post here. Enjoy! [:)]

Will we be able to use these scenario files in the upcoming ME game?

No, they are not compatible. Middle East 1948-1985 is a completely new game. Most of these battles are represented there in one form or another, for the current scenario list please see HERE.

Of course, we hope to see a lot of community designs as well as is the case with JTCS or even with these DG scenarios.

Middle East comes with Scenario, OoB and Map Editors, included are also huge maps of the area for a basis of any new scenarios to be made.


Edit: typos

Great to know about the scenarios in the ME game as well as the availability of the editor apps in the game. Can't wait till Sept!
