Post subject:  Weapons Effectiveness in Parameter Tables

I know that weapons effectiveness/ranges in parameter tables can change from one campaign to another (e.g. Antietam and Overland are different). Can anyone tell me if weapons effectiveness is the same throughout a campaign game (e.g. all scenarios in Antietam use the same weapons effectiveness and the same applies to all of the other campaign games). I dread the thought of opening each and every scenario for each campaign and trying to verify if they are the same.

I can't say to all, but for Antietam they should all be the same. And that applies to all the games I designed.

I feel your pain or the thoughts of it anyway sir. Shortly after joining the Club I had a 'Brilliant' idea of creating game specific parameter data cards and spent some considerable time designing and creating these. I was very pleased with myself and my efforts UNTIL I was informed, subsequently, that the PDT file may, can and does change from scenario to scenario, let alone game to game. I was Shattered and indeed still feel the pain of my wasted efforts ! :evil:
