How about some late war upgrades for East Front? Maybe a company of Tiger's and giving some of the nasty German AT units like JagdPanthers? The Panthers are fun, but looking foward to having some of these BIG units in the last 6 months or so of the war would be fun.

<t> I've been pounding away at a East Front DCG and have made it all the way to Feb 1945. I just finished a battle and it seems to hang on the computers last turn. I click the finished button and it ends the scenario and the General gives his message and then the game crashes. <br/>
<br/>
Can any ...

Update. I made a copy of the Location file and modified it. Success!! I was able to change the frequency of battles from every couple of days to about 1 per week. It sure makes the DCG go faster without losing any of the fun.

<t> I found the file - very nice work by Simonitch.<br/>
<br/>
I'm trying to locate the .dat files he lists - specifically the Location.dat. I'm having trouble finding one specific to my DCG. I have one that seems to be general (simply called Location.dat and not Flak-Location.dat or Barbarosa ...

Thanks Jason, I'll take a look.

I am not sure i agree with your opinion that the EF is totally set. hehehehe...but it's getting there. Right now...we have Barbarossa....41-45.....so i think continuing on in the same vein....have each year represented. In 42....start with ...

<t> I've been getting the itch to play East Front again after a couple of years. Great game. Is there a way to modify how quickly a DCG advances the turns. I remember playing for hours and hours only to advance game time 1 or 2 days at a time. It's alright for a while, but I'd like to speed things ...

Are you looking for the CCD and CCX files or something else.<br/>
<br/>
I've been hammering away at my campaign since July 7th. I've been curious to see if I can get through the Barbarossa games so I've kept everything as simple as possible to test the patch.<br/>
<br ...

<t> I've been playing Operation Barbarossa South and the campaign crashed on me. Made it to December 1942, finished a battle and got the crusty German general telling me how good I did when it hangs up and gives me the East Front has encounterd a problem and needs to close. I can reload the scenario ...

Campaign is Barbarossa South

XXIV Panzer Corps
3 Panzer Division
6 Panzer Regiment
1st Battalion

Playing Barbarossa South and got to November, 1942 and it crashed. Game said there was an East Front.exe error and it had to close and it looks like I can't finish my campaign. Are there still issues with the DCG? Anyone else have this problem?

<t> Thanks again Jason,<br/>
<br/>
Adding some Tigers will only make a great game that much more enjoyable.<br/>
<br/>
How does the DCG calculate time advancement? Sometimes it seems stuck and only advances you a day or two before the next engagement, but other times (rarely) it might be 20-30 ...

<t> Thanks again Jason,<br/>
<br/>
I understand the historical context of the campaign - wouldn't want things to get out of hand. I'd still like to petition for the availabliity of some Tigers late in the campaign. Since replacements are scripted, maybe just a company?<br/>
<br/>
I really enjoy ...

<t> Thanks for the quick reply!<br/>
<br/>
A couple more questions.<br/>
<br/>
How quickly do upgrades come? <br/>
<br/>
Is it random which units get them? <br/>
<br/>
I looked in the campaign CCD file and see that the highest upgrade is a Panzer V. Can you modify that for 1.03 so we can get ...

<t> Jason,<br/>
<br/>
Has the replacement rate been modified for EF? I've started playing the Barbarossa DCG and haven't gotten any replacements after 2 months. My Panzers are getting pretty thinned out after losing 1 or 2 every engagement. They used to dribble in every week or so.<br/>
