Error during generating battle

[KeathZerstorer]

Hi, I have some issue with Campaign series:

When I try to generate battle sometimes I get an error. For example, for Italy vs. America June 1944, Mediterranean, Division, all other settings are default, I get this:
West Front.exe: [ERROR ID 1000] (UnitAllocator.cpp, line 949, CUnitAllocator::BuildForce()) for nation Italy, level Division, unable to get starting org

But I was able to start with those settings for Battalion, Regiment and Corps. There are divisions for Italy 1944 as well in OOB editor.

Could you tell me what's wrong and how to fix it?

Windows 10, installed as admin into default folder, updated via launcher. All major exe files (West Front.exe, Rising Sun.exe, East Front.exe) are marked as admin-only launch.

Hello All,

I've replied to "KeathZerstorer" on his helpdesk ticket, but in case any others have such issues the developer has replied with the below:
"I suspect that there are not organizations for all countries for all years in that version of the game. Considering Italy surrendered in 1943,the generator not finding Italian divisions in 1944 makes sense."

So in this case there is not an army for Italy in 1944 so the game cannot find this pairing and hence this is failing.

Hi, thanks for your answer!

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be the source of error - for 1944 Italy in West Front's OOB Editor there are divisions, relevant ones by Italian Social Republic. So it should work.

And battalion level for 1944 Italy works as well even now.

Hello KZ,

Random battle generator uses Campaign OoB files, which might be the issue here.

See the Developer Diary I wrote a while ago for modding certain specific campaigns to be part of it.

Maybe give it a go, adding the specific divisions you want to see in action?

Thanks! I see, it may really help.
