Re: Erik's campaigns
Ok I made a scenario with VP hexes on the river and on plain land and I cannot either deploy units notice the pic showing I have clicked on a reserve unit NONE Of the 3 different flag types in ANY of the tow different locations provide deployment areas I think the reason is that the designer MUST assign Deployment hexes around each VP area or maybe its something else because I was unable to SAVE this scenario but am rebooting my computer and going to try and save it and play it through the scenario custom content play not the scenario designer ..matthew2582 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 14, 2020 11:48 pm Germany West 1939-40 v2.1 13-2-2020 - Scenario : 26Maginot
Why can't I deploy unit reserves?
I control Metz with flag at full mast
I have lots of supply from Metz
I have lots of CPs
Please see screenshot
Thanks - I am missing something obvious I am sure but I don't know what it is

Re: Erik's campaigns
Heh, a timely issue. We just discussed this in the studio. Short answer: the flagged hexes must be city, town, or village terrain. Else you must make manual deployment hexes and time them as follows: "Available 0-0" for initial deployment only, or "Available X-XX (turns)." For example, "Available 1-24" in a 24 turn scenario would make the deployment hexes appear only in gameplay turns. Flagged urban hexes are the shortcut because they are always available, if owned by your alliance of course.gunny wrote: ↑Sat Feb 15, 2020 6:23 pmOk I made a scenario with VP hexes on the river and on plain land and I cannot either deploy units notice the pic showing I have clicked on a reserve unit NONE Of the 3 different flag types in ANY of the tow different locations provide deployment areas I think the reason is that the designer MUST assign Deployment hexes around each VP area or maybe its something else because I was unable to SAVE this scenario but am rebooting my computer and going to try and save it and play it through the scenario custom content play not the scenario designer ..matthew2582 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 14, 2020 11:48 pm Germany West 1939-40 v2.1 13-2-2020 - Scenario : 26Maginot

Re: Erik's campaigns
Thanks I didn't think about the town city village thing .. here is another scenario wherein city town and village hexes are used the deployment things pop up when flag is raised WITHOUT the designer assigning deployment hexes so refer to above thread explanation a side note when ya click on editor and then choose create scenario you are presented with a blank screen it is best I think to then no matter what you want to do - it is best to FIRST choose New this brings up the size window thing this enables the program for me to work correctly making even a teenie test scenario by NOT first selecting "New" causes my system to NOT save the scenario you made correctly etc and other issues.

Re: Erik's campaigns - Import Core Question
Just finished Germany West 39-40 and exported core (for reasons I won't go into - I had actually updated Germany West 39-40 with the latest files from Germany West 1939-40 V2.1)
Now want to move on to Germany West 1941-43 but don't get an import core prompt - so I have no units, no reserves and no specializations
I have searched for the answer but don't see the answer to my particular circumstances
Many thanks as always

Re: Erik's campaigns - Import Core Question
I would try to re reload the saved game of your last campaign and do it again since it got updated the rest of this info you already know ... ok in order to import a corps you must first have MANUALLY EXPORTED A CORPS in order to do - and this is the fine print which you may not be aware of in the event you have manually exported a corps when you start a new campaign it will then AUTOMATICALLY ask you if you want to import a corps. here are some pics and explanations which will take awhile to post because I have to submit each pic instantly before commenting on and then attacking another one .. who knows .. why .. but here goes ...matthew2582 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 16, 2020 4:18 pm Any ideas re my problem posted above about importing core - Many thanks
Oh if you did not do the above then hopefully you have a saved game file of the last turn of the last battle of the last campaign you want to transfer your corps from .. or a file near this one ...
So when you do the last turn of the last scenario in the last campaign you will see something like this ... below Then you click on EXIT and you get this I always choose no then you get this This is the end of the campaign screen

Re: Erik's campaigns
Ok new reply started so nothing gets messed up so now you click on CONTINUE but ONLY on Continue
and you get this ... This is where is reads you can examine your corps blah blah blah
the key is to CLICK on the FLAG in this example it is an American Flag then WHAM
You can not EXPORT your Corps IF you notice the tiny button at top notice the red arrow
so click on EXPORT and you get something like this
The reason you see two corps listed there is that I saved these a long times ago in the event you have NEVER Exported a corps this area will be blank so Name It Something YOU can recognize and make sure you click on SAVE now get out of all of this go back to the main menu and start a new campaign like a BOSS !! notice pic below

Re: Erik's campaigns
another new thread started so the pics do not vanish ok great - when you start a new campaign WHAM !!! Automatically it asks you if you want to IMPORT a corps this is because and ONLY because YOU saved a corps or in other words EXPORTED a corps MANUALLY YOURSELF Prior to starting this campaign. ...
I have a great idea click on YES doing so you will see something like this ...
Now your back to this familiar screen except NOW you can IMPORT it ... so then highlight the corps you want to import if there is more than one .. etc.
AND click on IMPORT see it at the top left .. then WHAM go continue the war.
It is 10x better to import a corps because if no you will among other things not have ANY of the previous specializations "researched" that you had ... also your units will have experience etc. ALSO you will not have to spend money on buying more units but can use this money .. ah, resources on other stuff. whoo hoo
Again, hopefully you have a saved game from your last campaign still saved ...

Re: Erik's campaigns
I really appreciate you taking all that time with your reply
I had already followed those steps exactly - but did them again per your post - just in case
And I never get an Import Core screen
1. First I start new campaign after doing manual Export Core - Please see screenshot
2. Next I launch and I get a Campaign Event screen - Please see screenshot
3. Then click Continue and get Campaign Map - Please see screenshot
and as you can see - no Import Core screen

Re: Erik's campaigns
Ok - not to worry - I just pressed on and purchased all the units I needed for the Belgrade scenario in Germany West 1941-43 - shame about not being able to import all that experience though

Re: Erik's campaigns
I just did a quick test starting 'Germany West 1939-40', nuking the first scenario and saving the free Gebirgsjäger unit as a core.
Started 'Germany West 1941-43', got the 'import core' question and imported the Gebirgsjäger unit.
So there are no issues with this regarding these specific campaigns.

Re: Erik's campaigns
Well I guess it must be something to do with the fact that I originally had the 39-40 files which were then upgraded with copying the 1939-40 files into the 39-40 folder - or maybe not - who knowsErik2 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 17, 2020 8:47 am I just did a quick test starting 'Germany West 1939-40', nuking the first scenario and saving the free Gebirgsjäger unit as a core.

Re: New Britain 1943-44 2.2
Hello Erik,
Just played the 2.2 update. In the first scenario, Arawe, even though all three objectives are captured it does not show as complete, and it ended as a draw.

Re: Erik's campaigns
One of the cool things about OOB, when it is relatively bug-free, that is, is that it's quite logical. I looked at the triggers, found nothing, then did a test playthrough and encountered the same result:
"There has to be something," I said to myself. "There has to be a logical answer." I have this confidence with version 8.3.0, which I am treasuring (and saving) as much as I am fearing the upcoming UI overhaul which has been shown in beta to be buggy, indeed.
So, I went back to the triggers and with a fresh look, found the problem.
Erik, this trigger is not firing when the third primary VP is taken because it is being told to wait until the end of the scenario. When that happens, it is also looking for a "Capture VP Event" which, of course, is not happening at that time. Hence it never fires; hence a draw:
This should be set for "Turn Start" event. That is, if you want the player to be forced to play out all the turns. If not, then delete the "Check Turn" condition itself.

Re: Erik's campaigns
Nice find Bruce. I think the original reason for waiting for the last turn must be that when we capture the 3rd objective, a new secondary objective triggers in which we are ordered to hunt down all remaining enemy units.
