I turned off FoW to see where they were. Three are parked 4-6t hexes east of Karlskrona, Sweden.

I guess they're safe there. Am I missing something? Are they waiting for Norway? France?
They are waiting for France and it being safe to come out

Hello,

I just started playing this mod (version 1.6.8b) and am enjoying it a lot. However, it seems to have a bug. I'm playing the Axis side against the AI. Late in the Allies' turn for March 10, 1940, the game shuts down. I've ended the turn for March 10, 1940 three times now and keep getting the same result. An error message pops up but doesn't last long enough for me write down its content. It starts with the word "PANIC;" that much I can tell you. The message appears in a smaller separate window of the sort one sees with a computer crash. Any tips on what to do to solve this? I can continue to try to catch more of the error message, but it would take several more attempts of ending the turn to note the entire message.

Make sure your game is up to date using Steam. If you have the Matrix version you need to go to the matrix website and download the latest patch.

I downloaded the mod from the link in the first message on the first page of this thread. I've searched the site for patches but can't find any. There wouldn't be a link that would take me to the patches for TRP, would there?

The patch is from Matrix directly for the main game and not TRP specific. If you are not using Steam to play the game then you have the Matrix version, so update it and you will be fine.

For the most part, I am enjoying this mod.

However, in spite of the note near Suez which states that neutral transports are allowed to pass through, the Italians were not allowed to transport a leader through the canal prior to joining the war.

You have to put a transport on the hex that says you can transport italians through.

The game engine will not allow you to go through like the UK does so you must use the loop hex.

I recomend you join the discord channel for questions like this, you can get answers allot faster and their are almsot 200 people in their.

Thank you. I should have realized that. Something about the wording of the message made me think it was not a loop hex.

Thanks. I knew they had to be in there somewhere, but I could not find them. As it turns out, I had already downloaded the update but not installed it. Now when I try to run the unzipped file, I get an error message from the install wizard, which says v1.27 is not installed and prompts me to install it before running the update. How can that be if my game is installed and had worked fine until the recent crashing problem? I am in a bit over my head here.

At this point you need to ask Matrix Games for help as the issue is not related to TRP and I have the Steam version of the game so it auto updates.

Recently found this mod, really enjoying it.

However

I invaded Lithuania as Germany thinking it would be easy pray. Only to suddenly have soviet units attacking me. I am not at war with the soviets according to diplomacy so what gives here?

thanks

I guess where I am a bit confused here how are they able to attack me? Cause I am not at war with them. Is this a feature of the mod? or a bug?

You must be at war with them, you are just either not understanding what you are seeing on the interface or mis-reading something.

It is not a feature of the mod in that regards, it is built into the game engine. THey most likely declared war on you.

I thought so as well, however I double checked, Germany (me) is not currently at war with the ussr.
I invaded estonia as well and same thing, the ai(ussr) sent in two garrison units around the capital of Estonia, I killed them and nothing triggered event wise, I was able to take Estonia.


If you look below those three screenshots, it show the current state of the game.
Notice zhukov handing out in Lithuania for some reason.

Edit: I loaded the game as the other side, so on ussr end its not at war with Germany.

It's not a bug, those are minors under USSR controlled. It's how the game engine works. Base game is the same way.

Their mobilzationnis at 80 and they will be in the war soon.

It is safe to assume any countries you DOW in Eastern Europe (except Poland) will fall under USSR control.

My one criticism of the mod is this:

After a few turns, Germany will have easily invested in every tech which is of interest. For the rest of the game, it is only a matter of reinvesting when one completes. There are no real decisions here at all.

The same criticism cannot be made for any of the base games in the series. The ACW especially has a number of key decisions to make concerning research instead of unit production.

I am not sure whether it is the timing difference from all of the extra turns or some other aspect of economic balance, but research in TRP does not involve any real decisions for Germany. I have not played enough of the Allies to compare their situation.
