Downloaded and installed, alas the dreaded Black Screen when clicking on the Mod. Not a problem, I'd backed up the working one beforehand. So back it went. No more Black Screen, but a continuous spinning flag when trying to connect to MP.
Worse and strangely, the standard game won't run MP either - no more Cherbourg for the time being
I think I'm faced with clearing out OoB and starting over. To paraphrase that brave man, "I...may be some time."

[Erik2]

Cherbourg has been moved to the MicroMod in order to get commanders and specs to the US Red and blue factions.
This mod works fine for me, I have no idea why other players may have issues with it...

[Brenmusik]

Cherbourg has been moved to the MicroMod

my mistake, in my defence yesterday had been a long day, I'll move it.
Never a good idea to "update" at the end of the day.
Until the spinning flag problem is fixed, it won't matter where it is!

[Erik2]

Have you tried moving the old MicroMod out of the My Games folder and installing the new from scratch?

That is what I did! Thought it'd be a good idea to clear out the old MM and go with the new one, it wasn't!
I'm about to begin messing around with folders.

Erik,

Looks like Danzig Corridor does not recognise a last turn major win. Eastern German force took the peninsula and the objective count hit the magic 6 but shows a draw.

I'll check into Danzig. Thanks.

Race for Tunis also look broken on the objectives, latest updates must have done something to them.

As Axis we hold 2 objectives and never lost them but they are not triggered so it's a draw. The Vichy French took them but I assume it should be a joint win. I'll check with my ally but I suspect he got a draw too.

I assume this is about the 1v1 version (there's a 2v2 as well)?

Normandy US 1944 1.0 campaign
Link added in first post.
This is the sister campaign to the Bruce/Erik Normandy UK/Canada campaign.

Scenarios:
Cotentin Peninsula


Have fun and please report any issues in this thread.

First scenario could do with an improved briefing. I captured the 6 objectives in short order (about 8 turns) and got minor victory. But the was left wondering if failure to complete secondaries meant I'd suffer in the next scenario.

So I tried it again going for the secondaries first. But that is a nightmare despite the 40 turns because there is not enough supply and more German HMG teams than existed in reality in that area. Blundering around meant I started to lose airborne by the bucketful so didn't have enough to get neither secondaries nor primaries.

[Erik2]

The only reason to go for any secondary objectives is the rewards.
There are a lot of them and you're not supposed to capture all.
The Germans had broken down their companies into scattered platoons or smaller to cover more ground.
That is why there are a lot of German units. During internal playtests I kept increasing the German unit strength by 1 point after each test. So those initial 2-3 strength units got larger to provide some resistance.
The paras are core units and will appear in a later scenario (or two). So rteat them nice.
