World at War 27a1 & v30a1

Post by von altair »

I just love this great Tom Webers scenario. After many hours of game, research
and listening comments of other people. I decided to make a patch to enjoy it even more!

Feel free to try and comment! Have fun!

Patched in 27a1 (by Altair):
- Japan got small patch of units in IJN HQ (10 staff, 20 engineer, 10 horses and +3000 supply)
- German got Staff 2 and Submarine 2 research. This gives the German its own unique status which it had in real as well. Staff and subs are not upgraded to lvl 2 at the start of scenario. Germans had problems with submarine torbedoes. German HQ got experience from Poland and had advantage in organization when the battle in the west started.
- China got small patch of units (1 fighter, 50 conscripts and 5 horses)
- West starts with +20 political points at the start of war. This represents political will to give protection to the Poland without actual power to really defend it :)
- Japan finally got roads!
- Reduced Cruisers ability to fight against airplanes slightly
- Carriers airplane carrycap. reduced slightly
- Submarine gets slight boost against surface ships (was way too weak)
- Research costs upgraded 20%
- AT, Inf gun and Flak got very slight boost in offensive, to make them a bit more attractive
- Corrected Flak 88 cost (1000->1250) and updated new offensive values along with AT2&Flak2 guns
- SMG got slight defensive bonus in urban, heavy forrest and fortification defense. This makes SMG more usefull. Me and few others have been expecting this bonus already.
- German and Japan now uses own airplane picture with Carrier Air
- Axis minors now uses German cross icons until I have time to create Finnish and other minor country flags. Increases playing feeling when you don't need to see Romanian HQ at Finland!
- Finally, but not least, IMHO Italians didin't deserve its flag on ALL axis HQ, so German forces are using cross icons as well. This is personal taste :-)

NOTE: ONLY .PT2 FILE INCLUDED. This wont work in old AT versions without original
zip file

Great scenario and good things in v30. I've patched few things in it which makes scenario even more fun to play.

Feel free to test and comment! have fun!

Patched:
- SMG defensive value increased slightly in urban, fortifications and heavy forrest. Cost also increased a bit. This will make this unit more attractive and usefull in its special area.
- Fighter & Divebomber range reduce was good, but it went too far IMHO. Increased values 1 step backwards.
- Corrected Flak 88 Description about 25% cost (it is 50%)
- Reduced Cruiser ability to fight against airplanes slightly
- Increased AT&Inf&Flak guns offensive value slightly (Flak 88 updated as well)
- Added some heavy forest in Finland, to make it more historical.
- Changed Axis minor Romanian flag --> German cross. That works better until national flags. (Romanian flag at Finland & Bulgarian does not look good).
- Added a short road from SW of Rostov.
- Added a bit more roads + bridges in Japan
- Increased 10% research cost (without supply mod. 20% would be better).
- German unit colour --> dark grey and Axis minor --> light grey
- German got Submarine II tech to balance submarine underpower. Starting subs are still at lvl 1. (still testing how upgraded submarines and Staff II tech bonus works on German).
- German and Japan uses own carrier air picture for now.

After 2 games, I modified this great scenario a bit again:

Feel free to test and comment! Have fun!
http://www.yourfilehost.com/media.php?c ... _v30a2.pt2

Patched (compared to waw v30a1)
- Elite Infantry requirements (4) -> 3 basic infantry tech (+special)
- Transport planes costs now the same as Air Carrier (1000)
- Transport planes & Carrier Air supply usage reduced slightly
- Russian HQ Stavka got +100 infantry (0 exp)
- Took off my earlier +10% research cost. According to tests, original value is just fine.
- Fixed some typos in events (like for Japan "Eastern blitz" -> Pacifig blitz)
