How do I find all the Scenarios?
Seriously I purchased the game thinking I would be playing Guns og August, as the game description clearly states the scenario is available. But only three scenarios?

You are only seeing what is in the Tutorial directory. Use the "set default directory" button. Happened to me too

Even the Campaign scenarios are 2 Player only! If Matrix would have made that clear, a lot of buyers wouldn't feel cheated right now! They would have avoided the purchase!
RE: I Got Robbed, where are all the Scenarios?
Yes there is, but not all scenarios are designed for it. Check the scenarios descriptions, there are tons of them designed for SP.ORIGINAL: ballyhoo

And why does the music not turn off? There is a drop down button, but no matter how I select it, does not go away - that bloody musac!

RE: I Got Robbed, where are all the Scenarios?
I agree, maybe they should make a note of that on the product page, like World In Flames, that some/many of the scenarios are 2-player only. But, I agree with Mr meyer1, there is enough SP to keep one busy for a while. PBEM will be heating up soon, I'm sure. Yes, I'm an introvert and prefer playing by myself too.

Don't know. Mine went away with "No Background Sound."

RE: I Got Robbed, where are all the Scenarios?
Just look through the scenarios. Most of them will say whether or not they have a PO (Programmed Opponent). That would make it a single player scenario. The majority of the scenarios are made to be played single player for one side or the other and sometimes both sides. It's not really that hard to find them if you bother to try.

Almost all of the older T3 scenarios can be played against the PO.

You can also go into the player options and set the volume all the way down.ORIGINAL: Zorfwaddle

When you start a new game, one of the buttons on the bottom allow you to select which side you want to play. You can evel ask the AI to play some formations on your side.ORIGINAL: ballyhoo

RE: I Got Robbed, where are all the Scenarios?
Geez man, you really thought that Matrix would announce over two hundred scenarios and only deliver three? perhaps a look to the manual, or a question in a forum, before announce that you got robbed [8|]

Are you joking? Majority of the scenarios are SINGLEPLAYER (got me yelling too). Its called the PO, if you read a PO defined for a side in scenario description, that scenario is designed as SINGLEPLAYER scenario. It might not say SP, but that is what it means.
Some of the campaigns are very large and the AI does a poor with it, as usually described in the text. But if you want, you can still play against the AI as a SINGLEPLAYER, even if text says PBEM ONLY!!! Might not be challenging, but it will play.
RE: I Got Robbed, where are all the Scenarios?
Before this thread continues:
I took a quick look and of 286 scenario 121 state the use of both sides as PO and 36 have one side as PO.
Only 33 scenario state they are PBEM only.
Most unaccounted are surely playable vs AI too, it's just that the info is deep in those long briefings.
In the end all are playable vs the AI, how good depends on the scenario designer.

RE: I Got Robbed, where are all the Scenarios?
Thanks for the research, BigDuke66 (66? birthyear? graduation? callsign?)
I am surprised someone would feel blindsided with 250 scenarios playable against the PO. (perhaps some players are confused by the expression PO? Programmed Opponent is the best term since it reflects an opponent that follows a programmed strategy and not Artificial Intelligence (Deep Blue for every scenario??)
Each iteration seems to improve.
As a topic for another thread, if I run a PO vs PO with a given scenario in III, convert it with no mods to IV I have seen a Significant Victory for side A in III and side B in IV. Still working on that...

Lot of new players not used to the folders where the different time framed scenarios are located. You can play everything on this game and it takes a little time.
Thanks for a good game.

Guys it looks like we need to do a better job of highlighting the single player content. We'll pas this on to the team and see what we can do. Sorry for any confusion.

While you can always do a better job highlighting stuff as a dev, it wouldn't hurt forum members to not completely flip out before asking questions. Seems to be a pattern with certain people.
