Cyberpunk 2077 plus the Phantom Liberty expansion. IMHO, it is a game greater of the sum of its parts. The combat system is interesting, the vehicle system is meh, you can have unbelievable tech but not a flashlight, and there are a lot of overlapping systems (like if different parts of the game ...

When is the patch going to exit beta? I would like to publish the improved version of my "Christiane" scenario - but tested under a stable patch.

From things I have read previously, Soviet artillery fires where it wants to go. I seldom play that side, but that's what I do when I play Red. There's not a whole lot a scenario designer can do to ensure that happens after the first round.


I'm using as reference the book I mentioned in the ...

First of all, thank you for your suggestions! I'm revising the scenario, so they are very helpful.


Is this the dreaded Soviet attack from the barracks? That would explain the relative "paucity" of Soviet artillery. And I had forgot that the West Germans didn't put much into corps artillery the ...

Buchholz.rar

Tested and it works. Thanks!

I keep repeating how one of my favorite games when I was a teen, Hearts of Iron 3, and my disappointment with the dumbing-down of the long awaited 4th title took me into this path of discovery of wargames (although I keep playing other genres too).


Very true. HoI3 started with a lot of problems ...

Er... and, right on cue, the new patch changes the Buchholz map, so the winter theme of my scenario is gone.

It is possible to have an updated winter version? Please? Pretty please? <3

Be advised that I'll publish a revised version of this scenario, much improved, once the new patch exits beta.

Since it is quite long (a "monster" in tabletop speaking) you may want to wait a bit more...

Let's say that I have reinforcements due in 40 mins. However, it would be cool to have the chance that these reinforcement are delayed due to unpredictable causes (roads clogged by refugees, misunderstandings...)

In practice, it would be cool to have a system that simulates unpredictability ...

First of all, thank you for your suggestions! I'm revising the scenario, so they are very helpful.

You are right about the 74th Panzerbattalion (attached to the 7th Panzergrenadier Brigade). They used Leopard 1A5s, not Leopard 2s. Fixed.


My memory isn't what it used to be, so I can't remember ...

Editing units VPs could be useful also when some units are "unimportant," considering the situation.

For example, I'm working on a scenario where NATO must do the utmost to stop a major Soviet breakthrough. Both the Luftwaffe and the RAF are involved. The problem is: each shot-down plane costs NATO ...

Shortly before FCCW came out, I read this book (which made me salivate for FCCW...)


Battlegroup.jpg


It is a historical analysis of a possible war in Europe in the late 1980s, which starts with the strategic situation and comes down to how the armies of the various countries would have fought ...

On Steam, I simply pulled out the Bucholz.jpg" file from the .../Modules/FCCW/Maps directory (putting it in a safe location) and then copied the winter version of the map in the same place. It worked without hassles.

If you want to play my scenario, be warned that I'll publish a much improved ...

Wow! Just what I needed for my "Operation Christiane" scenario - which takes place in December, 1988. I was about to ask the developers about winter maps!

I did a preliminary test with the Buchholz map, and it works fine. Do I have your permission to add your "Buchholz.jpg" to the .zip for the new ...

When you get an error like that, you should see an exception window come up which has an option to save the log. Please do that next time you get it and upload that file here (or email it to us). And if you do have an error, my general recommendation is to close the game and re-open.


I don't ...

It must be added that TacOps gives you a number of Army Manuals (all freely available on the web, but here they are collected and easily accessibile in a single place). Do you want to learn how to command a Mechanized Brigade? Here is the manual!

They are very useful for other games too, like for ...

This is very strange. I checked the ammo load for my Chem unit and it is... ONE! If the Database is correct, it should mean "One Chem Strike Package"

...Which, however, doesn't fire.

Fine, then :)

There is, actually, an error that sometimes I encounter. It happens when I modify a scenario and then run it. The solution is to always save each part of the scenario - forces included - and not to simply do a single save at the end.

So, when I meet the following error, I learned ...

Just got confirmation that it crashed when Cap'n Darwin tried to start it. It is the .exe he states.


The ".exe"? I didn't touch the .exe. I built the scenario and ran it on Steam, version 3.0.1.10236s. I never encountered any problem.

Anyway, I installed Steam on my wife's Windows 11 PC and ...

I wanted to try your scenario, but I got this error, and I'm a contributor for OTS and a Beta tester, and our beta testing program runs more extensive checks than the Steam version. They’re aware of it and will come back here to post what they find.

From what I see, your 21st MRD HQ has an issue ...
