Don: The readme intro says there is one slight usa oob change, is it going to wreck any pbem or saved game or something?

CRAP!

Wonderful. Yes, this will screw the pooch for any PBEM and wipe out every change made to the US V3 OOB.

Arggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!

Here's what EVERYONE who DL's this will need to do after installing this campaign and this is why non standard OOB's should NOT be issued with these things !

After installing this campaign open up the GameOptions program and go to the Utilities tab and click in "Manage OOB Sets" then click on "Restore Default OOB's" and that will overwrite the US OOB that the campaign installer puts in there

If anyones been "editing" their OOB's they should make backups of their work and re-install the back ups afterwards

I totally forgot about this having it's own "special" OOB.

Sometime this weekend I will build a new installer for this and post it to this thread. The OOB that was issued with this campaign adds units that were included in the previous release of WinSPMBT so you will not be missing anything by using the V3 OOB's but you WILL have problems with PBEM ( one example )if you install this campaign from the link I provided earlier UNLESS you restore the default OOB's after installing it ( or, simply copy Obat012.obf from the Default OOB's folder into the OOB's folder if you prefer )

No problem Don, it´s not a big deal since the simple procedure of restoring the default OOBs solves the issue.

Thanks make this clear Don. Now I got my units to the shore... Only 2 MG's were not able to load into Howercrafts (all those were "full") but rest of troops were able to transport there. No big thing anyway. Now I'm in 3rd battle so let's see how it goes...

A revised installer for this campaign has been posted <<<CLICK HERE>>> . If you run this new installer you DO NOT have to restore your default OOB's after installation.

Don, thanks for the fix to the LZ X-ray problem!

I still have the problem I mentioned earlier, "Selecting item 006, 'B Company, 11th MEU' takes me directly to the purchase screen, there is no introductory text screen."

Is this just a problem with the one screen and can be ignored for the purposes of playing the campaign?

I'll contact Mike about this. I do not have any text files for that campaign on my HD
