Scenario Editing Passwords

 

Before editing the scenarios for Flat Top enter the following in your Preferences settings:

 

Name: Referee

Password: Setup

 

Once this is done, select New Game and then select the Referee as player option. Once you have sorted out the forces for the two sides Save the scenario. You will have to close VASSAL before being able to play the saved game.

 

Once you have restarted the mod, remember to reset your Preferences to your normal player name and password. You will now be able to select the scenario and play it from either side or as referee. If you forget to change the preferences setting the game will default to forcing you to play as the referee because that is what you selected during scenario creation.
