Gentlemen, I have designed a revised version of the #6 Large Waterloo Campaign scenario with what I think is a more historically accurate deployment. What I am looking for is someone to help with creating a new pdt.file using an old Eckmulh pdt using movement factors of 22-Infantry, 28-cavalry, 24-artillery and 20 for wagons. The reason for the changes is to better reflect the differences in movement on pikes, roads and paths. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Tom Moore |

Hi Tom, if you open the snenario file there is a name for a PDT file used by scenario: you need to locate this file in the Data folder and open it. the movmenets costs within PDT are starting from here: the first one is for blocked terratin movement costs (hence its zero) and below rows are corresponding to pther terrain types movement costs in the PDT. first zero in the row is for line infantry second zero is for column third is for cavalry fourth is artillery fifth is for wagons next row is for Clear hexes movement costs next row of values is water then for forest etc use the PDT file from the game to see what rows are corresponding to: you need to adjust the values in these rows with the values from Eckmuhl and save the file. Then run the scenario it check PDT parameters to test the results |

Tom - I will be happy to build you such a file. Please contact me at my email address wmp3662 <AT> gmail.com We will use a copy of one of the Eckmuhl PDT files and start from there. I will go over all of the steps with you offline. |

Hello Bill, Thank you for your offer on help building a new pdt. file for the Waterloo game but I was able to use an "AustrisFirst" Eckmuhl pdt. as you suggested to build a pdt. file for the Waterloo game. I wish WDS would use this file as the standard pdt file. It gives a much more flexible format for giving movement cost for the different types of units. Also it gives a much better representation of the different road types. Thanks again for your offer. Tom |

Hello Bill, The biggest thing I changed in my modification of the #6 Waterloo scenario was the arrival of units on both sides on the map, timing of releases of Allied units plus redeployment of the Prussian !st Corp. As for the map the biggest error is the placement of the Le Marchiennes's Bridge which should be several miles further west. There should be only one bridge at Charleroi. My chief source of information for my changes was John Hussey's" Waterloo Campaign of 1815". A very detailed account. If you like, I can send you a copy of my modified scenario file and modified pdt.
