Campaign Upgrade not working?

Post by sven »

I have noticed in campaigns made with the generator that I cannot fix or upgrade my equipment. I am attempting to reinstall the game and redownloading it. Crews that bail are also shown on the eqpt. list and I do not lose support units. I am hoping it is just my download.

Regards,
sven

It may be a bug. We never encountered it during testing, but for some reason it is appearing now. If so, we will get it fixed.

I had the same problem, no repairing/upgrading units after battle in campaign. I had also reinforcement units follow me to second and third battle- not as part of the campaign core, but without a cost. Makes pretty big fights later on :-)

In campaigns, when a tank is shot up and the crew bails, if I select the Fix All -option the extra crew will remain in the core force and I can later upgrade it into something nice (special forces etc.) and even assign it to new formation so I essentially get more units in to my core force, which is not bad but still this is a feature waiting to be removed Image At least happens with Germans.

I have had the same problems. In addition, the month/year did not advance, and when I hit the HUMAN deploy button, the AI AUTO deployed my units...on both sides of the "DMZ".

Something I have noticed in the WW2 campaign is that the month does not advance to the next month when upgrading/repairing units. For example, fighting a battle in May of 41, afterwards I can only buy units available in May of 41, not new units that would be from June of 41. Maybe that is a new feature though.
I also notice that the points earned seem to be the points earned that battle + the points earned in all previous battles, as opposed to the points earned that battle + unused points from previous battles. After several battles, my points are in the thousands.

One of the problems I encountered is the first battle that I play in the WWII campaign is that I had a defend or delay mission and what happend was I bought and set up all the units and after I pressed the start turn button nothing happend I went directly to the victory screen saying I won.
Good news
In the CD down load version I did not encounter any of the above problems with fixing and upgrating units.
