Hi this isn't really a bug but a problem with the scenarios. See the thread on supply probs in a Malta scenario...

tm.asp?m=1158577

I've had the same prob with the Tanks at Platamon scenario as the allies - the NZ Bn doesn't get any supplies and the supply base doesn't send any out or get any requests (I know the scenario is too short for this to make any real difference but it seems to be the same prob the others are having). A quick check in the scen editor showed that the supply base is subordinate to the Brigade, not the Bn - as a result they got nothing as the Bde HQ is not in the scenario. A quick mod resubordinating the Bde supply base to the Bn instead of the Bde resolved the issue and all was ok - supply base started to process requests and send out supply columns. Maybe this is the same problem the others are having?

In other words the game is working exactly as it should. This is really an undocumented feature - military bureaucracy. Bn "send lots of bullets" Supply dump "no way, your request must be processed through the proper channels and unfortunately the Bde supply staff are in Athens on an equal opportunities course and it's more than my jobs worth to let you have any without the proper signature on the chit!"

Lastly, in that same scenario the NZ bridging troop forgot to bring their bridge along with them - I presume they were supposed to have brought it with them?


Brilliant game btw and the above was very easy to fix, hope this points you in the right direction

TT2947 - AI - Bases - Should go through on-map-boss if organic boss off map

I didn't have time to send the savegame, gonna send it now, dunno if you still need it, tho.

Ok, I've just found how to solve the problem. In the scenario editor, in the units list, the scenario boss must be attached directly to the higher super force of his side. I've tried only on the Malta scen. So in this case, the scenario boss is the XI Fligerkorps and his under command of the 12th Armee HQ who his attached to the Army group HQ. Attach the XI Fliegerkorps to Army group HQ ( drag and drop method ), like the following picture, and supply will work fine ( badly in the first day due to the fact that are paradroped ).

Thanks for that insight Vince.

With pleasure. I'm coder myself, and I'm sure that you can easily debug the main prog now.
