No, they don't affect the movement in one-hex cities (not that I had noticed, at least). But I still use them, because it's easier and faster when I'm making the .mapx file. I select one road grid with the shape of a *, and then copy/paste it in all the "town" hexes. It works very well in all kind o...

6 Brusilov Offensive: Lutsk , #13 , Brilliant Victory , score:54 After some rework, I think that I've got a good scenario. There is some fighting all over the map (the Russians attack all the VHs) and it's important to decide where to go once an area is finally clean. Spotting the enemy's artilleri...

I remember that this was one of the first campaigns that I played when I discovered the old Latin Generals web, more than 10 years ago. At that time, I found it quite challenging. Obviously, I have improved my playing style over the yars, because this time I found it very, very easy. Most enemy unit...

12 THE FALL OFFENSIVES , #11 , Brilliant Victory , score:66 In this last scenario, my core was too powerful for the Chinese and North Koreans. It was an easy walk towards the VHs that, this time, were far enough. My comments on the campaign, in the next post. OpenGen 0.93.3.0 * 14 Oct 2019 * AI ver...

11 SPRING OFFENSIVE 2ND STAGE , #10 , Brilliant Victory , score:68 I bought another tank. The battle seemed hard and bloody, but I won on turn 6. The Chinese VHs are too close to the front line.

10 CHINESE SPRING OFFENSIVE , #9 , Brilliant Victory , score:62 Despite buying more artillery, this battle was much harder. I lost my core recon, and my planes ended the scenario in a pretty bad shape. The enemy had lots of artillery, and some good fighters and bombers. In the end, my tanks saved t...

9 OPERATION THUNDERBOLT , #8 , Brilliant Victory , score:66 In this scenario, new units have 190 exp, so I sold some of my core, and bought new models (or the same as before, but with more experience). This one was prety tough. I suffered a lot of damage. The problem with the scenario is the BV lim...

8 HUNGNAM EVACUATION , #7 , Brilliant Victory , score:53 This time I bought another artillery. Evacuation? What evacuation? I broke through the Korean lines, wiped them out, ant took their own VHs (one in the north and one in the east). Some of my units suffered a bit of damage, but I didn't care. ...

7 CHOSIN RESERVOIR , #6 , Brilliant Victory , score:55 This time I could afford a new bomber. 3 air units are very useful when there are just 8 deployment hexes for ground units. In the west, I deployed one artillery, the HQ and one tank. In the south, one artillery and one tank. An finally, in the...

6 BATTLE OF THE CHONGCHON , #5 , Brilliant Victory , score:66 I deployed three units in the centre (tank, artillery and infantry) and sent them to the NE, where they ended the Chinese offensive (the South Koreans, ovewhelmed, had abandoned one VH), counterattacked and took the Chinese flags with pr...

[b 5 ADVANCE TO PYONGYANG , #4 , Brilliant Victory , score:60][/b] This time I had lots of prestige and, besides, new units started with 100 exp. So I sold all my core except the HQ and the M26, and rebuilt it entirely. I bought the best units that fitted in my battle plan. The battle was a massacre...

4 INCH'ON LANDING , #3 , Brilliant Victory , score:55 At HQ I sold my protos. I don't need the morter, and the AT is cool, but very slow. I bought a fighter and a new tank. With 2 tanks and 3 artilleries the scenario is extremely easy. I had a last turn BV because I took all the flags in the map to...

My personal opinions: 1. Some campaigns work very well with a core made with units that have less than 6 str. The old LG's "DAK", or "Heia Safari", for example. But I think that feature should be exceptional. There should be a very good reason for designing the campaign (or the scenario) in that way...

3 PUSAN PERIMETER , #2 , Brilliant Victory , score:62 This has been a very strange battle. I bought 2 new infantries… and I lost them both. It was a mixture of overconfidence and bad combat results. :thud The funny thing is that the scenario isn't too difficult, and I won in just six turns. There i...

2 KUM RIVER LINE , #1 , Brilliant Victory , score:50 I bought a couple of infantries, and then went to the battle. With the help of the HQ and my artilleries, the tank did many, many overruns. The North Koreans were defeated very quickly. However, taking the NE city was tough. Some units were damag...

1 DEFENSE OF SEOUL , #0 , Brilliant Victory , score:51 During the first turns there isn't any Prestige, and there aren't any core units, either. The South Korean auxiliaries are pitifully weak, and the only option is fleeing to Seoul, hoping that at least some of them will reach the area near the S...

5 Görlitz-Tarnów , #12 , Brilliant Victory , score:57 This one seems ready, too. Now I'll start the CC, and once it's over I'll go on with this campaign.

4 Duklapass , #11 , Brilliant Victory , score:55 It was very difficult to balance this scenario. The quality of the Austro-Hungarian units at this stage of the campaign is rather poor, and in winter it's even poorer. I had to add more and more auxiliaries to make sure that the player could win this...

3 Limanowa , #10 , Brilliant Victory , score:59 My first idea was to convert the scenario of FGTM, but I couldn't. The map (Teruel) was a mess. The position of the towns didn't make any sense. I soon realised that I needed another plan. Fortunately, now we have csaba's map 1164. I could make the sc...

2 Rawa Ruska , #9 , Brilliant Victory , score:57 This was the first time that I used, in this campaign, the victory condition "evacuate units". Naturally, if the pIayer leaves the VHs too soon, the Russians will take them and the player will lose. I think that the result is OK. I've liked this batt...

8 Raid in Albania , #8 , Brilliant Victory , score:55 As the intro says "you wouldn't want another battle at the Isonzo, would you?". Instrad, I decided to make a fictional scenario in Albania, using the Col di Lana map that Jurgen made for the AK campaign, now stopped (let's hope that Patrick find...

7 Return to the Isonzo , #7 , Brilliant Victory , score:55 Not bad. I tried to make this one a little different from the 3rd scenario,and I think that the result is good enough.

6 Die Strafexpedition , #6 , Brilliant Victory , score:63 This was an interesting mountain battle, although I must reduce the number of turns. There were 20 for the BV, and I just needed 16. I'll change the BV limit to 18, and see what happens during the playtest. The Serbian-Italian path of this c...

Thanks! That one isn't my best map, but it's the most difficult one that I've had to draw in the last years.

5 Expedition against Montenegro , #5 , Brilliant Victory , score:51 I had a last turn BV. If the player moves his units wisely, the battle isn't too difficult. The terrain and the bad weather can be additional problems. I had to struggle with the ice and mud during many turns. However, it wasn't to...

4 Serbia is falling , #4 , Brilliant Victory , score:57 Very tricky battle. The rivers are impassable except at the 4 places wih bridges. So choosing the crossing strategy is essential. It's important to use the artilleries against the enemies on the opposite shore, and crossing only after the arti...

23 The Battle of Hermannstadt , #25 , Victory , score:35 This time I needed 16 turns to win the scenario (last turn V), so maybe the limits will have to be reworked a bit. The scenario itself is fun, with fights in different places of the map. I have two mountain infantries, thar fought in the sout...

3 The Isonzo valley: a place to stay , #3 , Brilliant Victory , score:55 At HQ I bought some trucks. I sold one old artillery, too, so I had enough prestige to buy one wonderful unit: Skoda FK M15. This is a very though battle. The Italians outnumber the KuK, and have lots of guns, too. The best st...

Re: Suite-OG. Questions & Bugs - Latest exe: 5.0.72.10 (2-Dec-2019) Oh, good.

Oh, good.

I've noticed that, in OS 5.0.72.10, I can't choose the numbers of the leaders. If I choose, let's say, the leader "03", I save and I close the Suite, the next time that I load the Suite the leader has switched back to "01".

Is this happening to anyone else?

2 The nightmare of Kolubara , #2 , Victory , score:35 This one is really difficult. BV was impossible for me, and even the normal V was hard. But it's Kolubara, so it's supposed to be a tough battle.

I'm using this book (very loosely) as a reference:

Sure, but after I've finished a few scenarios more.

By the way, t seems that the starting core (regiments of the 9th ID) are, actually, Czech soldiers.

My Austro-Hungarian campaign has officially started. The first scenario is, of course, Cer. A messy scenario that needs holding the lines, regrouping, good defense and, after all of that, a counterattack on the mountains. It's not easy as a starting scenario, but it's 100% winnable. So the first ste...
