Hi When I open this module in the latest version of Vassal Engine, I can’t start a new game. There are also no scenario options. Here’s a screenshot of the File Menu. ![image](https://forum.vassalengine.org/uploads/default/original/2X/f/fc2de627d8a6166c2c8f380cd81ad5318972d5ad.png) ---

That’s because no name was given to the `[Pre-defined setup]` node in the Editor. If you haven’t seen this before it can be really hard to spot, but there’s a tell-tale _very_ thin strip above the Load Game or Log entry in the menu indicating what would be the flyout menu for predefined setups. It’s just too small to be able to be activated and show you anything because the name was left blank. You can re-enable the module “wizard” in the module preferences to be able to step through the start of the module and select a scenario that way. Or edit your copy of the module to give that node a name, save, and it’ll work like you expect. Something like this: ![image](https://forum.vassalengine.org/uploads/default/original/2X/3/38d4aadb405962c890d4c061eb4d1a043f43be0d.png) ---

Thanks Joel for your reply. Another guy contacted me to say he had encountered the same problem. Additionaly, his module “wizard” was disabled. Indeed, I had forgotten to name the [Pre-defined setup]; I’ve just corrected that. Jean Phi ---

I’ve just found another issue with this module. When using the Campaign Game or Pattons Counterattack setups, I can’t find where reinforcements appear in the menu. In the 3rd edition they appeared in the time track in the turn they are meant to arrive. In this edition I can’t find where they are at all. Here’s a screenshot of the time track window, ![A44Reinforcements](https://forum.vassalengine.org/uploads/default/original/2X/c/c0d39074aec5152022a5c6b583cbd7f13c393a6a.jpeg) ---

It’s not a problem! It’s just that the reinforcements have been moved. You can find them in the “Reinforcements” section on the setup cards Mark created for this purpose in Edition 4. So I’ve incorporated them into the module. The setup cards are available via the main menu. I encourage you to be curious and to explore and discover the features the main menu has to offer.

I’ve looked at every menu option available. I cannot find any reinforcement cards visible. ![A44Reinforcements2](https://forum.vassalengine.org/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9ef149ed378b0d3b9015b898b157a6ff8a9fb940.jpeg) ---

Thanks, [clanmacrae](https://forum.vassalengine.org/u/clanmacrae), for helping [KitWalker](https://forum.vassalengine.org/u/kitwalker), I didn’t take the time to take a screenshot; I thought [KitWalker](https://forum.vassalengine.org/u/kitwalker) would find it easily in the main menu. Yes, this is what he’s looking for… All one have to do is just read the tooltips for the buttons, or at least click on each button one by one and see what happens. Jean Phi ---

To be fair, you did say “The setup cards are available via the main menu.”, and those buttons are on the toolbar, not in the main menu. ---

Thank you yes, this is what I was after. I was confused when Jean said they were in the main menu. When I first opened the module and started a campaign game, and clicked on this item in the toolbar all I got was a blank screen. I deleted and reinstalled the module and now its there. Thanks all for the assistance. ---

You’re right [jrwatts](https://forum.vassalengine.org/u/jrwatts). My bad. When I said “main menu,” I meant “toolbar,” of course… I didn’t express myself clearly. Sorry for that Jean Phi
