Should we re-download the scenarios or mod pack to get the correction? I guess it is the scenarios?

the scenario still plays fine but the description panels don't show. I re-downloaded the scenario download and overwrote the files, works fine now.

Thank you budd. I will do the same.

I am trying to update the game to 1.1 before installing heroes mod, but the game update keeps failing. I went to Slitherine's member area to download 1.1 patch manually, but it gave me a weird error "421 IP address blocked"

If I install this mod without that update, will it get all messed up? It seems Slitherine really doesn't want me to get that patch.

I sent an email to Slitherine support.

As if this helps, I am using Heroes of Stalingrad version v1.10 with Windows 8.1 and I have no problem .....

First information panel for Barrikady Bread Factory scenario

I got the update! Support told me to try the Matrix site instead of Slitherine and that patch download worked.
I will finish installing this awesome mod.
I will report back with my game experience.

I got Barrikady Factory scenario running.
That map is beautiful. A lot of troops in this one which is good.

In the readme for the mod, it says to put the documents into the game folder. Those documents are for us to read outside of the game right? I can leave them on my desktop to access easier? It looks like most of the pdfs are about Carentan which looks really good, lots of lush greenery compared to the gritty ruins of Stalingrad. Did you make all those documents? They sure are packed with interesting info especially the army descriptions.

About the opening information panels, they are very interesting and beautiful but pass by very fast. Can I access them again somehow? I am not a fast reader and I tend to read details slowly. The briefing button doesn't show them.

Agree, can they be set up to stay on screen until you click next or something.

This game is a real gritty battle of attrition. My troops are trying to shoot up the Soviets in buildings across the street.

budd, how are you doing in the Barrikady battles? Are you making progress?

asl3d · Post by **asl3d** » Sun Dec 09, 2018 4:25 pm

Hello again,
The same thing happens to me as you. I have not found a way to stop or slow down the panels sequence.
The solution I have found is to publish the panels previously, as you can see here, and then publish all the panels together in an external document. That's what I've done with the Carentan historical module and that's what I'm doing with Barrikady.
It is not a great solution but at least it is something.
Finally, if you are interested in having the document with Carentan panels, you can download them, along with other documents that may be of interest to you, from:

I just looked at the beautiful maps of the factory, playing Carentan. It's been awhile since i played, and i wasn't a board game player, so i'm still familiarizing myself with the game again.

asl3d, thanks, I looked through those documents and they look really good. I was impressed by both your Carentan pictures and the level of detail in describing the army units. I'm going to read through it all cause it looks interesting with good pictures. It's similar to an Osprey book.

budd, same as me. I'm doing the factory battle but getting shot up a fair bit cause I moved some units to spot the enemies so I could shoot at them. My MG34s are trying to turn the tide as we trade fire between buildings. The loud moans of my troops getting mowed down in the streets is sad to hear, but the screams of enemies getting shot up is a soothing melody. I need to learn better tactics. There is mortar fire too.

and I like your idea to put the information panels in a document to be easily read. I can read those slowly and carefully.
The Barrikady panels are not yet in a document right? I can look them up on your threads for now.

Hello Budd,
Thank you very much for your words.
If you have ever played the Advanced Squad Leader board game you will see that it is quite similar, even easier to play.
The fight in the Barrikady Factory complex is bloody and very disputed. I hope you come out alive from the rubble!!!!!!
