DENMARK
Slagelse and Avedore towns have „silver” flags as if they are designed to be secondary objectives, however none of the arrows In objective description point at them. My guess is that both of them are a part of „mobilization centres” objective but are not shown In the objective description?
Yes, the oversight is that while the objective trigger points to Avedøre and Slagelse, the mission points to Holbæk and Fredrikssund. This has to be fixed, of course, because you are being directed to the wrong two towns to accomplish the mission. Or, perhaps Erik meant us to take all four of these secondary points in which case he needs to add Holbæk and Fredrikssund to Avedøre and Slagelse in the trigger. We'll have to wait and see.
Considering that all of the four towns have the same supply value... my guess was that the player was suppose to capture all four... but probably Erik knows best. Most important is to have a clear objectives in order to act accordingly during the mission...

Afrika Korps 3.5

I gather the air-war is causing players the most problems.

The scenarios from 5Dash and until the end of the campaign have gotten a boost in German and Italian air command points, usually 3 ACPs for each nation.
7Gazala: Neutral mines. There is no 'wipe map' objective, so nothing to change. Added southern supply location.
9Halfa: Neutral mines.
10Suez: Assigned the carrier air units to correct AI teams.

Yes, same. I'll have to admit that I didn't play any of your scenarios for a while now, but the constant updates on your work are most appreciated.

And it's true - it's not being said enough: Thank you, Erik, for all the great stuff you're providing!!! :D :!:

8Herkules:
Added more Axis deployment locations, Air/Land Command Points, resources and the Italian battleship Vittorio Veneto.
The British aggression level is already set at default 50 and I'd like to keep it at that. Malta was very important for the Allied war in North Africa.

Erik, First thank you for all your hard work :) I am currently in the middle of the Germany West 39-40 campaign and see that you have updated it. Is there a way to load the updated content and continue where I left off?

Overwriting using the same folder names should do the trick. But you'll either have to restart the scen or start from the campaign screen for the new content to load properly.

I started Erik's campaigns with Germany 39 to 40, loving it. I'm sorry if this is a newbie question, but can I play these other campaigns with the same units carrying over? Is the Rhein campaign not linked? Am I missing any campaigns in that order? (wasn't really interested in Sea LIon, but interested in Italy/Normandy)


Germany West (39 to 40)
Germany East (41 to 42)
Germany East (43)
Wacht Am Rhein 1944


Or are their more campaigns coming to complete the war?

Erik, I think you should recheck your "Wacht am Rhein 1.8" campaign after the latest game update. Just wanted to start playing it and there are no specs active for the Germans, (but they are active for the Allies). I think that is not intended and something's messed up. :!:

I'm unsure if I shall continue or not like this.

Also you could finally remove all those border-supply-hexes and rather add them to the towns/cities. :wink:
There's even a prim.VP without supply in your first scen. The AI won't protect such hexes.

- There was a whole group of enemies more or less sitting near Luzerny until I came near. Intended?
- Add more supply to the whole map, and some larger supply stashes to the VP hexes. Come on, this mission is not about supply. And the enemy ran out quite early.
- There are 12 VPs but the mission ends after 11. And Noville's (as some other VP(!) too) not even protected by garrison troops.
- The preplaced (towed) AA units in the east are quite useless, with slow mud terrain movement they never arrive near the action

I think I'll rather start some of the desert campaigns first until I know what's going on here.

Do I just drop the whole unzipped folder in the campaigns folder?
I'm on a mac.
Currently it's in Users/thgmusic1/Order of Battle WW2/Campaigns/Germany West 39-40

Once I'm sure I've got the files where they need to be, I'll have some follow-up questions.

Thanks so much Erik for all your hard work!
Happy Gameplay!

- Early victory after capturing 5 VP only (6 are indicated). If you've used a "VP count" trigger, don't forget that the player owns one VP from the beginning

Given the awesome quality of your campaigns, you should consider to publish a CD

Thanks for all your work, even the unpublished one :wink:

The Story Continues?

Post by hyperstork67 »

I love your work, Erik! Are you planning to eventually release Germany 44 and 45 so that our core forces can continue past the Germany East 43 campaign?

You should be able to import your cores from:
Ger W 39-40 to Ger W 41-43 or Ger E 41-42.
Ger E 41-42 to Ger E 43.
Ger W 41-43 to Wach Am Rhein.

I am planning to add the remaining German 44-45 campaigns, but I need some time away from the Wehrmacht.
i am currently half-finished with a US Corps 42-43 campaign. This starts with Torch and ends in Italy. It is a nice change campaign-wise.

- No idea how you're supposed to save the surrounded Italian aux. AT unit in the center of the map to oblige the sec. objective, but beside of that, all plays okay so far

4Battleaxe
- here you should add a second enemy supply depot somewhere in the bottom part of the map, otherwise this happens quite early:
