Re: Adventures in Campaign Building by a Beginner
Lesson 1) Map Editing
Arguably, the most important part of building a scenario or campaign. The lesson here is this...
Once the map is built and you buy units to place on the map...
ANY change later in the map causes ALL unit placements to be removed!
You can not build a map, buy units, place units... decide that some tree, or hill needs to be removed. You can not even later decide that you want Map Text Notes without every unit placement being invalidated. ANY edit to the map invalidates unit placement!
The lesson here is this, build the map, buy a single squad of infantry, move them around the map checking LOS for those wonderful Anti-Tank traps and FO spotting, etc. Take notes about which trees, hills, etc need to be removed/increased. Decide on which, if any, text notes you want to place on the map ahead of time!
Build the map. Test it with A0 or 1 squad of infantry for LOS. Add the text notes you want. Only then can you proceed!
