	~~The victory editor lets you specify scoring conditions for a firefight.~~		'''TIP''':One easy way to edit scenarios is to write down all the x,y coordinates you want to use in the scenario on a piece of paper so that you can reference them in the tools without having to go back and forth between the editors and the maps.

	~~Regions are named collections of hexes on the map. Regions are used to define artillery strikes, reinforcement entry points, etc.~~

	When you refer to a region in another editor (such as the Artillery Editor), you supply a reference to the name of a region. You can then change the parameters of that region later without having to update the reference. However, if you rename the region, then you'll break all references to it. Beware of renaming regions after you've created references to them.		When you refer to a region in another editor (such as the Artillery Editor), you supply a reference to the name of a region.

Beware of renaming regions after you've created references to them.

	Scripts for describing regions in greater detail are usually located in Data\Scenarios\Scripts. If you look at the scripts ~~I've got~~, you'll notice that the first few firefights exclusively used scripts. When I was first ~~developing the game~~, that was the only way of defining region data. That quickly proved to be impractical :)		Scripts for describing regions in greater detail are usually located in Data\Scenarios\Scripts.
