This is too funny! My Squad and a few guys from UKATC just started doing this just last week! There is a program called WinMerge(free btw), that basically compares text files and highlights the differences. Since .mis files are text files, just load up the two missions from each party and copy the differences from one into the other. It just takes a few minutes to do. We have had a blast so far. The guys get to execute their own plan of attack to achieve a goal set by scenario maker. A master mission template is first sent to each party with the aircraft and ships etc. already inserted and they just set waypoints, targets, etc. They send me their respective missions and then I just "merge" the two and host the mission. The one merging the mission is the only one that will see the two sides plans, and therefore, must be excluded from doing combat in the battle. But I tell you what, it is fun to do and really neat to see it all play out. Do a Google search for WinMerge, its a free program. I got the same idea as you as soon as i came across that program! Let me know if I can be of help to anyone interested in trying this out with their group or squad.
