I was thinking about a mod at a lower scale, but chatting with AI just now (hehe), it sounds like direct fire is hard-coded at one hex only? It would certainly be a very “hacky” mod, but something at company/battalion level would need multi-hex direct fire.

Haven’t played the game too much yet, but I’ve been itching to do some type of platoon/200 meters scenario on one
of these engines.

However, reading through the manual, if I understand correctly, some calculations are based on 10 men,
not per man. It looks units could even dissolve at 20
men or so ...

Hi, should this mod still work? I unzipped it into campaigns as the instructions say, but it doesn't show up in the scenario list or in settings/mods.

ANNOUNCEMENT TIME!

Install:
To keep your old unit files (optional, but highly recommended)
1. Make a folder for each of them: ie one named minor_allied, minor_axis, Major_1 ect ect ect. Also make a folder called Old Unit Sprites and put those new folders you made in there.
2. Copy and ...

Thank you for the calculator, but is it still working correctly? I'm getting strange results, like penetration increasing over range, or penetration decreasing to 0 and then increasing again. I'm only editing fields B1 and D1.

Thanks

Bah, sorry, looking at the time stamps for those errors and the time stamps for when I posted here, it looks like all of those happened during my install attempts, not the in game crashes. The file errors were probably from trying to install again to a directory that had a partial install.

So yeah ...

Looks like the error logs must be something else. I crashed again when I zoomed all the way down to a vehicle and nothing was added to the log. It may have something to do with performance, zooming to the vehicle and having most of the map drawing at once.

Here's the log -

Thanks. I eventually got it working by installing & updating in windows safe mode.

However! I'm getting clean crashes to desktop every ~15 minutes of gameplay. Does it spit out a crash log somewhere that might be of use? Windows 11.

Hi, trying to install the game for the first time using the 1.577 installer. Everything works correctly until the "installing files" stage which gets between a third to half of the progress bar then crashes/disappears. I've tried different hard drive & installer locations. Ran with and without ...

Yeah, bunch of tabletop games use it. MMP's grand tactical series is a great example, really well done.

then why not the same area..2 weeks after? Things got a lot more fluid with the Red Army counterattack and units and weapons are the same. Also MG 'd have shorter engagement ranges and be more infantry based..another problem for the engine ...

<t> I see. Yeah, looks like my last post was jumping the gun. They receive movement orders, just not on the first command cycle. Attaching the scenario anyway if anyone wants to make sure it's working as intended.<br/>
<br/>
That's a bummer. Maybe Kursk isn't a great scenario to mod if the AI is ...

Oh! I think I found my issue. The default order for placed units seems to be "screen." Once I changed everything to "hold" and then set them to locked, it seemed to work correctly. I'm a doofus, they were doing exactly what I told them to, heh.

Inactive should hold them in place until fired on or they spot bad guys. Could be a new bug. Can you send us the scenario via PM or email to look at?

Oh, maybe I'm just misunderstanding what it should do ...

<t> So I'm having issues trying to lock units in place. The command seems to work fine in the editor - I lock the unit and all subordinates, and the icon names grey out. I get a warning that these units are locked etc.<br/>
<br/>
However as soon as the scenario starts, all of these same units ...

Thanks Darwin, will use the existing names for variety for now.

<t> So more on this issue - if I replace existing sound names, such as "tank cannon1.wav, tank cannon2.wav" etc, the random sound choices will work.<br/>
<br/>
New sound names without the sequential numbering will also work - but as soon as I append it with numbers, no sound will play (lgun.wav ...
