To upload a save, we need the scenario file if it is a random campaign and the save file in a zip file. Then click the orange "post reply" button and click the "click here to upload" text. Follow the prompts to locate the zip and upload then finish the post.

I went to the scenario dir and there are numerous XML files dated today when I was playing. Are those what your talking about and do you need just one or all of them? Or do you need the generic 1st PZ long campaign xml in the random campaigns dir?

In the scenarios folder there will be R with a circle around it followed by numbers. Those are the battles that the RCG generated for the campaign. If you were playing the first battle of the campaign we need that first file and the save that goes with it.

Can I ask what kind of gun is showing up in houses?

The Soviet 76mm infantry gun.
I don't think that gun is suppose to be allowed to go in houses. It may be included as an infantry unit when it shouldn't. The first mount location of two story buildings is the upper story and there's no way one of those is going to be hoisted up to the second story.

If its not a bug are ATGs meant to be this hard to take out even if they are dug in? Ive spent over ten turns on taking this single gun out with like 12 squads of infantry and ten tanks and three mortars. Difficulty is easy.

Also Im having spotting issues. I have 3 squads of inf 20m from the gun but they cant see it. The infantry is on lower ground but their heads are well above the gun so for gameplay purposes one would think they could see it.

A save file for this would also be very handy in terms of giving you a detailed response on whether you've found a bug or if we just have some advice.

Make a new random scenario, copy the circle R character and paste it into the name of the original.

The random battles have a R the random campaigns have the ®

Anyway it worked but still CTD on me.

miller41 are you sure that the save is for the same battle? Check the time stamps and make sure that the file you zipped is the oldest provided that the save is for the first battle. Thanks

I continued the game today and as soon as I started the first turn one my flanking t34 that was on equal elevation if not a bit higher popped the german 50mm atg with one shot. I guess next time Ill try bringing my tanks higher or use smoke rounds to blind the guns if available.

I fired it with 3 x 50mm mortars for 3-4 turns from 200-300m away for what seemed no effect. Graphically it seemed like it was getting direct hits all the time. However the pak38 fire back at my tanks so I guess it wasnt bother by the mortars.

However later I did manage to score hit (showed in the log) to another pak38 with 1 x 50mm mortar firing 1 turns from 77m away. I took it out the next turn with combined fire from 50mm mortar and one inf squad 20m away.

None of the mortars had direct sighting and all paks were dug in.

I don't know if J2D had a direct LOS to my Pak or not but he took it out with the first round.
