Fields of Fire Help on starting up new scenario

Module Support
1

I am running 3.7.7 on windows 10, with 3.2.03_public for fields of fire module.

Everything seems to load fine, but it does not feel like the campaign/mission is loading (i.e. I never get the grid for the scenario).

For other games like C&C, when I start a new module, I have to pick a new scenario at the start. I never have to pick anything for FoF. When I start a new game, all I pick is the background. I can click on the campaigns drop-down, but that feels like an inventory of those cards/counters and not actually picking a mission to start.

Having the same issue.
I have played Fields of Fire on VASSAL about a year or so ago on a previous VASSAL version and it all worked fine.

Thanks for confirming. I did message the developer on BGG forums since he asked for feedback there.

Hi, I seem to have just worked around it. Open the Campaigns button on the Toolbar. I selected the Normandy 1944 game and then just dragged cards from the deck into the required rows and columns. That seems to have worked.

Hope this helps.

Were you able to get a grid/map on the screen? That is one of the assets in the module when you edit it.

For anybody following on in months/years to come, this is how the module is designed - Open the Campaigns tab, then drag the appropriate cards to the playing area, in the layout described in the Mission Book.
