OK it is available on VRdesign thingy, it is not fully functional so be aware.

Here is the link but I couldn't find a download link. Am I missing it or is it not there?

It's there... make sure you have a membership/login else it isn't visible.

Ok, thanks. I wasn't logged in. Downloaded and cranked it up. Looks like a number of German divisions are missing there pngs for some reason. It is a fairly good sized scenario. Looks like Germans have around 15 divisions. Map looks good and I spotted Wingen. This should be a fun scenario.

I have made some changes and uploaded the latest version.

I don't know how to include the graphics mods which include division badges generously created by Claus.

They have to be in the graphics folder, with each a different name ... say Nordwind and NordwindBIG. Then it should be able to find and package them.

OK I have found some issues that I have fixed. I have found some issues that I can't fix, I have to get the cards working properly (replacements, new units, air support, etc). I have also discovered that whilst play-testing my units are being flooded with STAFF replacements despite the fact that these are not even present in my replacements table!

I sent you an email, with some stuff, and analysis. I hope it is usable.

Thanks Claus.

19:10 hours,25-1-22 , I am just about to upload the latest version of Nordwind for those interested . All feedback welcome .

Currently Nordwind is only solo playable as Germans , if you start game with AI playing Germans it will CTD after aprox ten seconds during the AI's turn . I will not be able to address this as it is clearly an AI algorithm issue . Anyway offensives are always more interesting when playing the attacker !

I just wanted to thank you, Billios65, and your loyal supporters on this effort. I am stuck on another project and would be the last person you'd want to have test your scenarios, but there are a Few Good Men right here.

It's amazing what can be done with the Simple Editor alone (and I've done it), but that is child's play compared with what you are doing. Plus, we hopefully have the legendary Ernie, who will at some point break onto the AO modding scene!

Best wishes

Later today I will upload a zip file containing the division badges that are missing from Nordwind scenario. I will give instructions for those that need them.

I have also made some more adjustments to the scenario based on the play-testing I have done. I have observed that the AI is very aggressive in defence even when assigned the DEFENCE stance, this is not a bad thing but needs fine tuning to reflect the historical situation.

Apologies for all who have downloaded my scenario and are still waiting for commanders for Korps/divisions, I will be doing them this week and will either share them on my Google drive or use the "export dczip" function if I can get it to work for me! [8|]

Good news! The officer libraries have been updated to include Operation Nordwind in the latest beta so that saves me a job, thanks Vic & team.

Reviving this thread but I get a CTD after the end of turn 1 every time I play as the Germans. I'd love to digitally wargame Operation Northwind, but I guess this otherwise great looking mod won't allow me to!

Hi, Any news?
thx
