I made an Advanced Third Reich mod for Strategic Command WWII War in Europe.

From my Design Notes doc:
This is an adaptation of Avalon Hill's 1992 board game ADVANCED THIRD REICH (A3R), the sequel to THE ...

I am posting a third hotfix for a couple of issues reported from ongoing PBEM games:
- fixed combat issue preventing defender from removing pursuit casualties and ending combat
- changed overgarrisoned city error message to specify name of city

Marshall Ellis fixed the first issue in the next ...

I apologize, but I need to add another quick hotfix. I inadvertantly left in a debug line in v1.27.04 forcing Great Britain to gain control of minors. This is now removed. I think Marshall has already fixed this for the new version. This issue came up in a couple of pbem games and got reported to me ...

Quick question. Was this with the v1.27.04 hotfix I posted?

I’ll take a look at this next week. I’m on travel this week.

Is there already a depot in the port city or land area? That may explain it. Otherwise, I’d have to look at a game save.

There’s a restriction of only one province loss for AI opponents, unless they’re Polish provinces. We may relax this for AI difficulty.

But this has been done to death already. This one is actually just a remake.


The CEAW Grand Strategy mod fixed the game for two players. But the AI computer opponent was always lacking and never got fixed. This "remake" should resolve that deficiency for those looking for a more decent ...

Must every game be overly complicated and complex to the point that it's not really much fun to play? I don't consider having some "basic" games to be a problem. The Avalon Hill board wargames I played back in the 1970s would be considered "way too basic" nowadays. I have withnessed over the years ...

Yes, the editor has several problems. To create the Classic EIA and Alternate EIH scenarios currently in the game, I often had to manually edit the data files and sometimes hardwire some items into the code for 1812 and 1813. To create any new scenarios with different start dates and different ...

Hey all. Although it's been quiet for the past few weeks, there have been a few reported issues with the official update. Attached is a quick hotfix that resolves a few items:
- fixed movetocityExecute to check area control, not area nation
- fixed nation_convert_control to exclude evacuating ...

Yes, with GB and Prussia allied, the war ends. This is a complicated issue in the code, regarding MP control of a minor. Ideally, we should be able to separate MPs having "temporary" control of a minor from a DOW versus "permanent" control of a Conquered or Free State minor. But it's a can of worms ...

British supply fleet blocks placing another depot in same area.

Not sure why Spanish fleet is not showing in unit grid? Admin Move fixes this during land phase, but having the Spanish naval move game save would allow me to recreate the issue and fix it. Maybe trying to place a depot screwed things ...

- fixed nation_convert_control to exclude evacuating oldowner if at war or allied with newowner

There was already a similar check for other nations but not the oldowner (France) who got control of Portugal upon DOW.

Alright, for #1, I was able to undo the Russian moves and then move them back in to see what was happening.
- fixed movetocityExecute to check area control (e.g., France, at war), not area nation (e.g., Prussia, not at war)
So now, the Russians are able to besiege Magdeburg.

For #2 and #3, I ...

Good. We don't often get good AI naval attacks vs human defender, so this was a good case.
- fixed load_units_to_battle to exclude non-interception fleets not in area
- fixed ai_run_computer_combat and combat_retreat_units to skip live troops check for combat_retreat_units

Changes now prevent those ...

Maybe pzgndr has more of an idea of what is going on here


I am humbled that you think I have some insider knowledge with MWiF, but I don't. I'm just waiting for news from Steve like everyone else. I continue to wait for the half map Fascist Tide scenario. Maybe someday. At this point, I'm not ...

OK, I see the I Naples Lt fleet is unit#272, with the Holland designator. So you could see it in the unit pool, purchase it, and place it fine. Maybe it's just an AI issue with the incorrect nation designator. Whatever. I have made a note to fix it. Thanks!

Well that's interesting. The game advanced for me with the v1.27.04 final, so that's good. AI Spain was trying to place the I Naples Lt fleet (AI looks for >4 ships ready to place a new fleet) but apparently that unit #272 has a Holland country designator and not Naples, so the database needs fixing ...

I assume you have 'See AI Moves' enabled as a game option. Are you also enabling AAR Mode from the top menu buttons? You should be seeing individual unit moves with movement arrows. That's generally slow enough to see what's going on without bogging down the game. Is that still too fast??
AAR Mode ...
