The Great Carnage Mod: Westfront 1914

Post by Metatron »

Welcome to my Westfront 1914 Mod. It covers the Western front from August 5th to November 1914.

It is PvP only.

I introduced it through an AAR, that also was a testing of the mod, you can find plenty of screenshots of the mod there: https://forums.matrixgames.com/viewtopic.php?t=417884

The terrain graphics are reworked version of Kiddytoto's Graphic Mod. (he gave permission for the use in 2014 so I assume it's still ok :D )

Since it is mostly not scripted there is a series of house rules needed to make the scenario work, see below:

Install:
You can use JSGME mod manager to activate and deactivate the mod, if you want to play both vanilla and modded easily: you can find it here https://www.softpedia.com/get/Others/Mi ... bler.shtml

You can also just override files, the mod only does graphical overrides and adds three scenario files. Just copy and paste the "dcwtpscenarios" and "graphics" folders into your "Decisive Campaigns The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris" folder. Make a copy of your "graphics" folder beforehand to switch back to vanilla game or just do a clean steam install.

There are three scenario files:
"Westfront1914 Official Beta" is the recommended scenario.

"Westfront1914 Alpha 100 Stacking" uses only 100 stack combat limit, the same as the scenario used in my AAR.
"Westfront1914 Beta Experimental 400 Stacking" goes up to 400 stack combat limit and might be overkill but if you want to try it out go ahead.

Let me know if you find problems, have feedback etc, and enjoy the bloodbath.
-There is safety in numbers.
-Well there is also death in numbers. It's called a massacre.

Great to see some work on this old gem of a wargame. Sad thing though, that there is no AI to the scenario. May I also point you to the German-FRench WAr of 1871.. that might be a rewarding task, too, for that engine.

I had initially looked at a eastern front 1914 version because I find the Austro-Russian Galician campaigns fascinating but the amount of work involved is too much for now. Franco-Prussian war of 1870 I also considered but again a lot of work (less so since the same map could be used) so for now on the back burner until maybe I'm inspired again.
