RE: 1938 Calm Before The Storm

Post by Madmatt32162 »

I would like to try this scenario. Downloaded successfully, but when I try to start it, it does not appear in the available scenarios box. I notice in the campaigns folder on my hard drive there is no .dat file for this scenario. I assume this is the problem, but don't know for sure.Is there any way someone could send it to me, or correct me if this is not the problem?

Thanks for the help.

hi

first test (now at december 1939) as Germany

1) the Axis economy is very strange: at 1st september 1939 Germany after buying every possible unit still have 5.455 MPP in bank.

2) Cipro alternative "to Italy after WWI" don't work: stay UK

3) the agressivity of France AI is high: full assault against sigfrido line every turn with no resoult

4) in march 1939 italy have the decision of a full offensive in Abissinia, paying the cost, both economical than diplomatich with no apparent effect

5) Romania and Finland don't have reserch limit: they can have 5 level and only pay 100 mpp

6) this is probabily a random factor but France is in war and UK is still neutral (79%) at december 1939

7)thanks for the very intersting scenario

Hi. I'm trying to play this game as Germany, but I can't recruit any units before september 1939. That means I won't even have enough troops to invade Poland. Is this a bug?

Hi Cantona, unfortunately this bug has been not fixed. Germany cannot buy all the things contained in the white square.

It seems impossible for Italy to conquer Ethiopia due to supply issues. What am I missing?

Hi Zagys, it´s possible but you need to concentrate all your forces. I have that as a point to may change in the future.

Zagys, it took me a few attempts/games but it can be done. The reward you get is worth it.

Cantona66, thank you for updating the mod! Do you have another download link other than Dropbox? I have tried several

times to download it but for some reason, it always fails at around 24mb. Perhaps Mediafire or Mega? Also, when will this update be put into the Steam version? Thanks again.

Love the campaign, but oh my God, the economy is radically tight now. Is it supposed to be this tight in 1939? Seems I have to decline most of the event options just to keep from going bankrupt.

I would recommend that you place the updated versions in the first post of the thread editing it, if you let me do the suggestion.
This way it would be much easier for new and old players to find the latest version.
Congratulations with your mod and continued work [8D][&o][8D]

I tried the latest version out for a game and noted the increased costs and income levels.

The problem is the numbers seemed to revert to lower levels after integrating another country or getting Industrial Tech. I ended up with Germany running negative income in the middle of 39 which kind of made things unplayable.

I'm curious if the income levels are being recalculated by the game on certain events and reverting to their lower original values?

I really like the thought and the overall level of detail that went into 38 scenario. I'd be happy to test it again when there's a new update.

Hi, income levels should increase when adding countries and land to the alliance and i belive it does, but by accepting many events the cost can be higher than the income. I will look at it but i want tough cost maanagement.
