Yes, it's fine now. Both WW1-games worked well.

Doesn't help. I made in WW1 the westfront, it autosaved - and minutes later the error occured. Annoying.

Hi! The Blue Max Mod seems to work fine! I didn't yet reach stoormtroppers and later game arty, but till now everything is fine. Only problem I found is problems with the german translation, which interferes with the mod, but other then that everything works fine!

Thank you, Michael! Works well!

May I ask where I can find the latest version? On page one of this thread there only is a link to 6.8. (I got the 7.0 version link by a friend). And is it enough to replace only the cgn file to have the latest version or should I reinstall the whole mod?

Dear fellow wargamers,

I just tried the Icarus MOD and I'm really impressed. It's more detail and feels more realistic. Sadly my first match didn't go for long, but my first impression is like: hey, the game got an upgrade
Really can recommend it!

Best wishes,

Chris

Hi Strombringer,

did you download the cgn-file and place it into the campaigns-folder? If you don't do that, the icarus-mod is not found when you start the game.

Hi folks,

trying to install this mod. But I got an error when starting it in local mode:

FAILED(set_information_maps): No such file or directory

any help is appreciated


Can you post an image of where in the relevant folder you have placed the content?

Also, what do you mean by local mode ...

Hi cfant - unfortunately, any patch will only apply to new matches. Your current game will operate with the settings that were in place when you started it. If you DM me, I can suggest some house rules that you and your opponent could agree to that would achieve many of the effects of this patch ...

@mdsmall: Is the patch compatible to ongoing matches?

Greetings,

Chris

On page 29, the mod-desciption says (about regaining NM-losses):

Austria-Hungary: Bruneck, Bucharest, Klagenfurt, Pola, Trento, Trieste

Do you mean Budapest? Bukarest was no Austrian city, but the Rumanian capital?
And for the DE to use German MPP for fertilizier to gain 100 NM per turn - do you ...

Thanks for this AAR, I'm looking forward to it. Taking down Serbia fast without Germans is a hard project in Vanilla, will be interesting if it works.

It seems, it works with BlueMax. I never played Icarus, but will give it a try now

Hi!

I've a short question: Is the mod compatible with the blue max mod?

Greetings!

With Austria I don't expect to hold much. It's my position on turn 1 to buy one turn time for the corps in Lemberg to dig and wait for an HQ. So Lemberg can resist a few turns. No problem, if Austria has to retreat into the Carpathians. But still it need troops to cover the front.
With the Germans I ...

Dear all,

I like to open with Schlieffen. It's historical, more fun in the West from the start, and prevents the British and French from having too many free troops to get any silly ideas about the Balkans or the Ottomans.

But of course, that leaves few defenders for the East and quite a few ...

Thanks for your answer. I'm only speaking of the first two turns - I always need the cav to protect e.g. Przemysl, when I send 2nd army to Serbia. You can't hold Lemberg, but without the cav I have to few troops to keep A-H afloat. But I'm not a pro. Would be interesting to see a match between you ...

May I ask you: In your blitz you make use of the A-H cavalry. Is your Serbian blitz fine, if the Germans attack in the west? Wouldn't the A-H cavalry be missed in Galicia, which is under immense pressure by the Russians?

Sounds good! I wrote a pm for houserule suggestions. Let's have a nice, cosy world war

Hi!

I'm intermediate with some experience (crush new players, get crushed by pro players ;)). I'd be open to a match. Turn rate: I'm from Europe, can deliver turns most days, but not on weekends.
I'd prefer CP, as I have another match going on, where I play the Entente.

Will play to the end even ...
