I prefer scripts to Arena Tables except when another AvA Staff member might need to repair my arena setup, due to the monthly reset for instance. Arena Tables are limited to a particular terrain and setup, including planes and variables.
The reason for my scripts preference is that I can have an AvA generic settings file that works with any terrain and setup. Then I can have vehicles and field side/country in a separate script for BoB, or Mid-war, or multiple tank nights or even adding to a rolling planeset if called for.
But this post is about Arena Tables.First, all the field ownerships, planes and variables must be properly set for the selected terrain.
Second, again under CM Tools, select Arena Tables.
Next, select <Add New> in the list box.
A textbox appears. Type an 8 character name such as "mytables" and click Save.
Note that saved variable tables are confirmed and the new "table" is listed in the available "configurations." The tables were saved to your hard drive.
To reload the tables the next time you create a custom arena with
this same terrain, just double click the "mytables" table to reload it.
One of the issues I sometimes find with arena tables is unintended country rotation, which must be corrected manually.
