1985 Red Storm - Beta ready to download

[blackcloud6]

I just discovered this mod today and tried to play through the first turn playing solo-hotseat. I was able to get through the WP turn ok, but the NATO turn crashed when I clicked on the US production tab. The game got an error and closed.

Alos, I'm playing the steam version and after putting in this mod, when I end the game, steam says it is "stopping" but that just hangs. And then I cannot start again as it just continues to show "stopping."

Rick clicking on a unit does not bring up a menu thus I cannot reinforce a unit.

This is a great mod though and I hope that you can make it work well.

After playing some more, I think the Steam "stopping" issue was caused by the uploading to the Steam cloud, so it is not an issue with the mod. After about two times ending the game, the problem went away. It is possible that the cloud uploading was of the mod itself.

The crash that occurred on hitting the production tab did not reoccur. But as a failsafe, I'm saving the game a lot.

I then realized I can reinforce units using the buttons on the unit panel on the bottom middle of the map. It has been a while since I played SC and had forgot about them.

Hi blackcoud6.

Right clicking on a unit does not bring up a menu thus I cannot reinforce a unit.

Check that you have the preference set in the advanced settings for this to occur.

Thanks for reporting this!

I suspect there is some problem with the production queues - I shall take a look!

Ah... Thanks, that worked.

I too, have recently discovered this mod, excellent work! I'm having a fun time getting all my T-80s blown to bits in Germany

I do see that there are no starting Soviet forces in the Caucasus area, I assume this is intentional, or is this just a part of the force deployment that wasn't visited yet? Seems strange to me that there would be no garrisons there against NATO Turkey.

I also see this thread is somewhat quiet. I do hope you'll continue developing this mod, all the players are still here, just too busy furiously fighting ww3

Many thanks to those of you who have posted! I am doing a bit more work on this now and hope to have a new version, maybe this weekend, for you to play with

[The Land]

OK so I have a version with a few accumulated tweaks. I'm just giving it a whirl but should be able to upload that soon.

LAND
Further attempts at balancing land units
Soviet OOB for the Caucasus is in place (maybe a bit overpowered still)

SEA/AIR
Soviets now have a DE to mount a surprise attack on Iceland, Red Storm Rising style (presently this attack always succeeds, but that is not the plan)
Significant air-sea changes which make the Battle of the Atlantic more interesting!
- now long-range bombing is possible (ie you can give a unit 100-hex range without delays/crashes), the USSR has 2 additional Maritime Bomber units specialised in anti-surface attack, for a total of 3
- Britain receives an understrength Fighter in Northern Scotland to provide air cover in the Eastern North Atlantic now that the Backfires are there to pose a real threat
- USA loses the Maritime Bomber assigned to Denmark, as it made things a bit too easy for NATO in the Baltic. However, they can rebase the one from the East Coast of the USA if they want.
- USA loses one submarine
- USSR gains 2 Strategic Bombers and the USA gains 1

OK I've gone ahead and posted my current version as a new beta! More may follow shortly, depending on how my weekend goes.

I was unable to replicate this, if it continues to be a problem please let me know

If Yugoslavia produces zero, cannot rebuild anything.

Yugoslavia now has production.

Hi, the Pact is at war with Greece and this is turn # 2; Yugoslavia goes to war allied with the Pact.
I've the Yugoslavian army at the border with Greece and in contact with enemy units but it is not possible attack them.
Why?

Thanks for flagging! I think probably I have omitted a Belligerence script so the game doesn't believe Yugo is at war with Turkey (the individual majors must be Belligerent, as well as being joined to the two sides). I'll fix this in the next patch.

The various belligerence errors should now be fixed. Thanks for flagging.
