In Anzio, you can embark on sea transports from the land-locked cities of Sezze and Frosinone. BTW: Do you know about Anzio scenario bug connected with this topic? :) Latina (18,26) and Sezze (20,25) are not coastal cities, they are deep in land. And wrongly, units can be embarked to sea transport!...

I accidently discovered several map bugs while sprucing up Luftwaffe General. In Anzio, you can embark on sea transports from the land-locked cities of Sezze and Frosinone. I am strict opponent of using coastal cities as embarktion points and I never use it in my scenarios. There is no reason for n...

Flags&Arrows animation for Torch (PG1) - " Run for Tunis " needs also some correction. - missing British flag, althought British units are in scenario - wrong color of Axis arrow - added Vichy Frech flag BTW: There is much more historical bug in this scenario. Italians are totally ignored, missing i...

PepaDrobny

The PG Torch scenario is basically Run for Tunis . Basically, with the Vichy collapse in North Africa both Allies and Axis ran unopposed to capture as much territory as possible before the other. The remaining Vichy troops didn't offer much resistance to either at first, but later joined the Allies...

Some of the place names are clearly misspellings, some are inside jokes (Great Vermouth for Great Yarmouth for example)

Bugs in Scenario stats I have detected some bugs in original PG scenario descriptions: As a sample see pictures connected with scenario Kharkov. Description says that battle starts on February 11. Wrongly, because in this time was Kharkov still yet on German hands, on February 16 it was taken by Re...

And what you do?

Hallo Ol' Willy and Hexcode - I have read that PG1 doesn't allow the campaign path to be changed. - How to change mission's victory conditions? Can be changed, proven by PacPG :) But very hard and log time consuming to explain it to profi programmer. Unpossible to layman. Fortunately there is way, j...

Thanks for the advice. I'm almost done with the equipment file project now. I would like to have somebody review it and see what can be improved before including it with a new release. Let me know if you are interested and I will send the file via PM. You are welcome. I am interested. Do you have c...

So another equipment file detail I need some advice on. The USSR has a seperate infantry unit named "conscript".

Exactly as Radoye said, units with no training or poor training. Built in lack of time.

OK then i'll terminate the campaign after a defeat in Belgium.

Yeah, this is possible. It is against philosophy to keep original game but you have another policy

PepaDrobny

So, SOLUTION of this bug for PGF is to create another (additional) version of scenario France for PGF, name for example France(July) , and set the starting date to 5. 7 .1940 and modify the campaign tree to use this scenario in case of Minor or Lose in Low countries (in case of Major victory, stay ...

I have redrawn all flags of the using the official RGB colors and changed them to the historic flags. There are two mods for colors of flags. Visible and fog of war. It means every flag has two shades of colors. Which of these mods is your scope od modification to official RGB? Color of flags in PG...

PepaDrobny

When you are finished i would love to try and use your historic names for PGF. Will have to research how to do it efficiently though. Not sure if i can just convert a file and replace an ingame file of some sorts Don't worry about it, the conversion PG DOS files to PGF is relatively simple, just ne...

Are you working on the DOS version or also for the windows version?

Only DOS version. When finished, then can be (minimally partly) converted to PGF of PGWin95

PepaDrobny

The pg campaign tree already has a separate "France2" slot for the minor vic in Low Countries - but it references the same scenario file as the "regular" France (after major in LC). This will be an easy change to make. I think i'll do some extra modifications to the "France Late" scenario, beside j...

@PepaDrobny: Very nice rotated conversion. Was it possible to keep the rest of the terrain identical to what it was before? Yes, is was possible and of course it was done so. That was my strict target. About the fix you created for PG, is there a way to convert this to PGF? Yes, as Radoye correctly...

However, this operation did not take place north of Lake Balaton in Hungary, but took place in Croatia, south of Lake Balaton, although after crossing the...

PepaDrobny

So, you're saying that in PG in this one case it is possible to have the same scenario file use different start dates? That's a neat trick! Yes. Exactly. Just so. Thanks for your investigation, i will make adjustments to my modded PGF files to get rid of this "time loop". :yes You're welcome. Yeah,...

PG1 BUG DEFINETLY SOLVED (1) There was a strange thing which PG1 modders encountered when made custom campaign. Each scenario starts on date, which can be setted in scenario file (gameXXX.scn) - by hand in hexadeciamally or by editing tool (FPGE, Pzgmaped etc.) But there was one exception. When you...

PepaDrobny

Some of the place names are clearly misspellings, some are inside jokes (Great Vermouth for Great Yarmouth for example), others follow spelling from German and other period documents which don't conform with the modern spelling (so not necessarily inaccurate but still odd looking)... Yeah, thats ex...

Similar is German 8.8 gun - the same once as AT, once as AA

PepaDrobny

Well I only edit the names in the equipment files to match actual unit types. A lot of ..mm gun and many incorrent historical names that can be fixed. I'm not going to focus as specific as the eample of the 12th wehr infantry. the PGF engine is not an exact copy of the original engine. So its not a...

PepaDrobny

Yeah i was actually inspired by your corrected files! I tried to use as much you found as possible. But some fixes seemed to be specific for PGDOS so i wasnt able to do them. Also i am not that familiar with FPGE, so any advanced editing is beyond my ability right now. For me the main aim is to pre...

PepaDrobny

@pepadrobny thank you for your post. Over the years i've realised that many of the PG scenarios contain inconsistencies that could be fixed. So might have to do with the conversion to PGF while others might be from the original game. There seems to be a lot that could be improved by converting them...

There is a bug in PGF, transferred from original PG. The bug is in time/date discrepancy between scenarios Low countries and following France when Minor or Allied victory in Low countries occurs. Low countries date: 10.5.1940 - 8.6.1940 (30 turns, 1turn per day) France date: 5.6.1940 - 30.6.1940 (26...
