Download the zip file. Unzip it. Follow the included Scorched Earth Installation guide.pdf
It is really easy.

And most of all, enjoy the scenario! And DO let me know what you think! If you spot any goofs on my part, please report them here; I will surely correct them.

Looks incredible. So glad to see Norway matter!

Look forward to giving it a test spin.

Does it include graphic mods already or should we install any of your other graphic mods as well?

[PanzerMike]

The scenario needs the provided png files in the zip. Those png files contain numerous custom tiles especially for Scorched Earth.

So the existing map mod (version 6) is not compatible with Scorched Earth.

You can use any unit mod you like though of course.

By the way, you CAN use the map png files provided in the Scorched Earth mod with ANY scenario (like the vanilla Europe 1939). The extra custom tiles are simply not used in that case.

As mentioned in the other thread for PanzerMike's original map (which displays fine for me) and counter mods, I'm seeing a weird blue graphical glitch in the eastern corner of every hex on the map for this Mod, see attached. Is anyone else getting this?

Can you give a quick rundown of the differences in your mod? Thanks.

[PanzerMike]

There is a PDF in the download that describes the differences. It is quite extensive, some 40 pages.

Nice ! Are current map mods compatible with your scenario ? (I suppose counter mods are)
+ if you could also fix some French geography issues and typos, like
Vichy N of the Loire i/o South..
"Creusa" should be "Creuse"
"Saome" should be "Saône"

Counter mods certainly are, I prefer the simpler/cleaner look of the Packed WP NATOs_v3.1 – Counter Mod and this works fine with Scorched Earth

[PanzerMike]

Yes, any counter mod will do, including the older ones I made. For the map however, you really need the included graphic files. I have made many new tiles, that don't exist in vanilla. Without them the map doesn't show properly.

Will do that in version 1.1

cant go through suez with allies ships, it must be a bug

[PanzerMike]

Quite possibly, but likely a bug in the engine, not in the mod. I think you will also have this bug in vanilla. Can you please check that? If so, a bug report for Alvaro is necessary. Thanks!

[Marco70]

i checked it in several hotseat games, i dont have it in vanilla.

[MagicMissile]

Yes I did two hotseat games one scorched earth and one 1939 standard. Both on same patch Beta 1,07U51.

In normal 1939 british fleet can enter the Red Sea in Scorched Earth it cant. I know this was a bug in some version of the game and then got fixed. Maybe your scenario was created based on the 1939 scenario when it had this problem. I dont know how these things work but I hope you can fix it. Love the map and especially the counters so really would like it to see it work.

[PanzerMike]

Hmmmmm.

I made my scenario off an older copy of vanilla. I have kept it in synch though with the chnages/fixes in vanilla. I hope I can fix this in the scenario editor, but I am not sure I can. I figured this was an engine thing.

[MagicMissile]

Yes I think Alvaro said it was a scenario thing unfortunately [:(] here on the forum somewhere but I am not sure where.

Edit: i saw your link yes that was it I think.

[PanzerMike]

Fixed it. Uploaded new version 1.1. You can download it in the first post of this thread. Thanks for the feedback. Keep it coming please.

[OxfordGuy3]

PanzerMike - something to be aware of for a future version of your Mod, the Italian infantry corps nerf mentioned in the manual (–1 firearms, –1 artillery) is not actually implemented for small corps (which is all the Italians can build), nor was this in the vanilla scenarios, but Alvro has now said that this will be fixed in all scenarios, see: https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4800287

[PanzerMike]

Thanks, I keep SE synched with vanilla. Don't worry.
