[Axis Campaign] MPC 41 v0.6 (27/10/18)

MPC '41 Daugavpils


After some consideration, the reward for capturing Riga is prestige and a sIG 33 II (sf) (+3A, +3D, +4INI)

I think the sIG33 is a wonderful choice, since there are not many (if none) arty heroes distributed...
But, would gladly the +3D and +4INI heroes for +range and +movement instead

At the moment this scenario MPC'41 Daugavpils did not go out yet ?

[nikivdd]

No it is not there yet. I hope to finish it up when time allows me which is hopefully in the near future.
I need to replay myself as i seem unable to find old saves. Oh well, i will manage

Hi Niki - have won a DV on Raseiniai but game goes back to main menu after debriefing.
Cant continue.

Have tried both options, that is with and without copying the contents of DLC 41 into the MPC 41 folder, not overwriting any files.
Have also tried to restart the 41 campaign, then use endscn0 for DV's, with same result: back to main menu without possibility to continue.

I then removed the MPC 41 folders from the MOD map, restarted the game and started DLC 41, but it does not import the savecore 40.

Not using GME.

Playing on Rommel level, with custom difficulty on / ai level 2 / classic / limited dice chess / no reform units

Have checked the GUID, which is identical in the campaign as in the latest savecore file (suggestion from CW58).

By request: Import MPC 40 save core into GC DLC41 East

Unzip the rar in panzer corps\DLC folder.
It will overwrite the campaign.pzdat file.
It also includes the UI\hero folder which includes Fritz Amling and Horst Kerfin. These heroes were awarded in MPC 35-39 and MPC 40.

The only thing you must make sure of, is that the equipment file used in MPC 40 will be the same in GC DLC41. A different equipment file can lead to the game's inability to read and import your MPC 40 save core.

Bravo! This worked... very happy - thanks for the quick response...
Will surely come back when you have added new MPC 41 missions.
MPC 35-39 and 40 are a very welcome addition to the DLC missions - thanks

How did I just find this thread? Thanks very much to Niki for all the hard work, so far I have only played part of the 35-39 campaign but loving it!

[nikivdd]

As a head's up i let you guys know that i will release v1.3 of MPC '35-'39 soon.
This update is the fault of the devs for taking ages with PzC 2

[guille1434]

Ok! I hope PzCorps 2 takes more time if it means more content for PzCorps!!
Will you document the changes for this new version?

Nico, since you are updating, you may want to copy the gamesrules.pzdat from the GC or US_C. The heroes come in fairly thick for a long campaign.

Thanks for the update

I'm currently part way through v1.2, at Czajanek Barracks. Do you know if I install this update will it mess things up, or should I just try and see what happens (I can also go back)? I'm between scenarios, about to start Czajanek, not in the middle of a scenario. Cheers.

I don't think it will mess up things but it might be a good idea to keep a copy of v1.2 somewhere. Changes should be noticable from the next scenario, never with the current scenario you're playing.
I suppose the best way to check if everything is working fine, is to cheat you're way with endscn 0 until you reach the final scenario, which is a completely new map.

[rubyjuno]

Thanks for the quick reply niki. Good point about using the endscn cheat, I've used it to test campaigns before but didn't think of it this time. I'll see what happens. So far, I've particularly enjoyed Battle of Teruel, Battle of the Ebro and Catalonia Offensive. Thanks for your efforts.

I was halfway through Poland and now have to start again as the new version is out!

Some observations.
I like the look of the new Saar map.

Equipment file
SE Panzer 2C has same stats as normal one - should have +1 HA and +1 ammo.

Scenarios
Saar Basin - Should be 36 Krads rather than 39.
Spanish Civil War scenarios - don't seem to include any of the Spanish units available in the equipment file.

SE Pz 2C will be fixed in next update.

I have been considering to change the Krads to 36 version and exchange the Spanish units with the ones i created in the upgrade e-file project.
But if i do this, this will mean that players will be obligated to use that custom e-file. Currently, players have the liberty to use whatever e-file they prefer.

[nikivdd]

This version has several scenarios with pre-placed units from the upgrade equipment file project.
The opening scenarios starts out with 36 Krads and in the Spanish civil war scenarios most Nationalist and Republican units have been replaced with their defined counterparts in that e-file.
The equipment file includes the fixed ammo and HA for the SE Pz 2C
