TOE is great but I can't do it without new dawn.
I tried it with other scenarios (NEW_WAW_PUBLIC_BETA) but when it is implemented to scenario it works only during my turn.
When it's AI turn - it's CTD. Always.
PS: Another issue: is there a way to let TOE not change units names? I like historical names, but it removed them to 1st MODEL NAME.
for the moment this feature is only for New Dawn v3 games.
Feel free to copy and paste the CTD detailed text though.
best wishes,
Vic
All right. I tried it again with other scenarios. It seems that only rulevar 344 (show the 'historical units' using TOE models) makes problems.
Without it I've managed to get it to work.
1. What about names of units?
2. Did it auto-reinforce from direct parent HQ or any other HQ up to Supreme HQ?

Reinforcements flow through the chain of command: SHQ -> "Front" HQ -> "Army" HQ -> Unit. If an "Army" HQ is receiving reinforcements directly from a city/factory then it will flow from there to the unit. Be careful of the auto return feature. If you exceed the limits you set for the unit template, the excess flows back up the chain unless you turn off this feature.

I am absolutely drooling for this, but since I run AT through Steam I can't give it a go yet ...
Any idea on a time frame for a Steam-friendly release?

I've spoken to Vic about when this will become an official patch. It seems that there needs to be more testing before it can become that. He gave me an estimate of maybe 8-10 days, maybe more.

If you manually installed the files/folders in the correct locations, just hit cancel or select 0 and the main screen should load with an option to use the anewdawn3 file.
ORIGINAL: Gary Childress
I DLed the file in the OP and when I start ATG these are the options I have that I can load. Which one should I load? So far I can't get the counters to appear in the TOE chooser. [:(]
Ah, thanks. It's working now. [:)]

This is awesome! This saves a lot of micromanagement. Thank you Vic! [&o]

Hi Vic,
One thing that might be a bug I just noticed. Auto reinforce doesn't seem to work for Mercenaries. I created a type of unit that uses mercenaries and set a unit to that type and even though my HQ has 120 Mercenaries in it right now it did not send any to the new unit I created which requires them in its TO&E. I'm playing new dawn and added a mercenary base to a scenario.
Thanks.

I thought mercenaries were only usable by the African people group.

One other thing, I have some HQs underneath the supreme HQ. It would be cool if the supreme HQ would provide any extra staff it has, up to the point where subordinate HQs are 100% staffed.
Having a blast with this new feature, though. Thanks again!

If you pre-place a Mercenary base on the map it will produce Mercenaries for you.

Never mind. I found the problem with the Mercenaries. I had the people set wrong in the TOE template, should have been "Neutrals" instead of "Germans" (which is the people I'm playing).

It´s been a long time the last time I played ATG. I must say the AI (land combat) is much better than before. [:)]

This should be standard behaviour if your (underneath) HQ is set to a TOE Model and that TOE Model includes at least 1 quantity of staff.

Another idea for the to-do list: Default formations. Specially useful for newbies. One of them could be the classic platoon 15 rifle+5 Smg+2 machine gun+1 mortar. S

Good idea! Also, just had to post an update to my earlier screenshot.

Web, I´m very happy with the progress Advanced Tactics is taking. [:D] Vic is really open minded, he loves to listen to everyone. And that´s absolutely innusual in the game business.
Step by step ATG has become one of the best wargames of all times!! [&o] And still it´s possible to improve...
