Missing BGs and more

First off, stats: WaR-patched up. mods: axis and allie teams only Grand campaign.

Turn one works fine, When turn two comes up. both armored groups in the NE are gone, the units in weiler & Losheim are gone, weiler and losheim are in alli hands.

since i didn't adjust the forcepools, and since units were present in turn one, i am unsure why they would disappear.
not to mention the allies conquering territory that had units in it without a fight.

the game is on my other comp. so i don't have files to post up yet. but i will happily do that later if needed.

Do you have a before and after saved game?

If so please post them here.


What mod have you done?


Any mismatch in team sizes can mean BG's disappear.

Did you use the workbook... it has error checking included.

the copy i found of the workbook is not current to the latest patch.  its the .02 not .07, so no, i used it for comparison so that i knew what columns were which.
and it seemed to load and work fine throughout turn one.    all the # of members in a team match up to the loadout and purpose. 

and would BGs going missing also cause the sudden capture of terrain?

i'll see if i can get the GC save file to shrink enough to upload.  -- complete

I can't comment on any part of this issue as I haven't looked into it. Too many games and forums, not enough time.

You can update a copy of the WaR Data Workbook to be current very easily. Make a copy of it, rename it for the patch version. Then open each of the applicable Data\Base files as spreadsheets (with your spreedsheet app, not NotePad or similar).

Copy the data range including the upper left most line count cell and paste that into the apporpriate tab of the workbook, using the line count cell of the worksheet as the target cell for the paste.

You only need to do the AlsTeams, AxsTeam, Soldier, Weapons, Vehicles, FPools and BGroups. Perhaps the Uniform Style, as it was changed, but only if you are interested. There were no changes to Elements or any of the other worksheets.

Thank you.
I updated my workbook; backed up a copy of files, then copied in my team data and did find a pair of team errors on both sides, also lots of ammo errors now corrected.

i guess i get to start a new campaign and see if it repeats the behavior with the new files or not.
