P.S. 155mm wz 40 on a 25TP chassis anyone? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b1/155mm_Gun_Motor_Carriage_M40_2.JPG/300px-155mm_Gun_Motor_Carriage_M40_2.JPG Why not :evil Thanks to your post i even found an error in my efile (which i took over from older efiles). I think they we...

I didn't mention my efile at all! He can choose to play what he likes.

Alrighty then... I do agree with the charm of 2D, it's just that even Heroes of Might and Magic are full 3D now... it's a sign of the times. How about an increase in the icon resolution at least? So that tank wheels do not appear as squares because of lack of available pixels... There are 17000+ ic...

Lol sympatyk, why you try to lure Szperacz away from this forum with every of your posts. He knows about the Polish forum but decided to become a member here. You should respect that. Initially I ignored it too, but it's so powerful - staying out of the enemy visibility makes you invisible (especial...

I failed at Narvik. Makes an impression of a puzzle with one solution (or I'm just too dense). I'll check out Weltkrieg instead. Actually i try to avoid puzzle scenarios and every scenario should be winable with different core and tactics. But, yeah, Weltkrieg is the much more modern and much bette...

I am also in team 2D. Without the beautiful classic maps, the game would not be the same.

Great post @RoyalBengalTiger. There are some interesting prototypes and hypothetical vehicles. While i have some of them already in the efile i may add some more

The self-propelled guns are very tempting. No correct icons available though.

Howdy all y'all, How many maps are there in total? Welcome to the forum :howdy There are 1557 maps at mapfinder. Some bigger maps (called XXL) can be found at the OG website. But there are some more XXL maps that are hosted in the Polish forum or in threads here. And probably there are more maps th...

Okay, that makes 3 players, which isn't yet "many" ("one, two, three, many")... :P :lol One has to wonder what you want to say :lol I wrote with around a dozen players about my campaigns in this forum alone, be it in the threads or DMs. And there are people playing Gustlik's campaign over at the Po...

Very nice! Should I restart the atomic blitzkrieg or it doesn't matter too much? I'm currently in the first scenario with ships, in Norway probably. Looked scary so I went back to try to finish PG2 blitzkrieg and gather some courage. You can continue your run! The changes in Blitzkrieg are more of ...

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

So that means that there are at least 24 players!

And there are not 24 designers

(Well, maybe there are, bit they stay hidden

).

I'm afraid there are currently more campaign makers than campaign players active here, so answers are bound to be a little biased...

Did you catch someone promoting his own campaigns?

And luckily there are more players than designers. There are more players than we think.

Personaly i use the png versions of the maps. You can download them from mapfinder. 8 bit png files have less colors (you will not notice in the game), but lossless compression and no ugly jpg artifacts. Even for the maps i created my own, i always use the png maps as resources for map making and pl...

Just going forward. That only 1 airtransport is available is not good for my core and its tactics

I used the numbers (of transports) i found in the scenarios when i converted them. So no Weltkrieg luxury

New version of the efile has been uploaded to dropbox. You'll find the link in the first post of this thread. Efile Version: 28th January 2024 - Kriegsmarine Campaign part I playable with 15 scenarios, by Dimitris :yes - Atomic Weltkrieg campaign updated with a new Moscow map and scenario - Atomic B...

I guess hoza was out of prestige. Building an airfield/port costs 25pp if no other setting is used. Then he captured Holkham Hall and had enough prestige again.

There are no air transport available in the scenario.
Building is enabled, and everything should work as always. On which kind of hex terrain did you build the first airfield?

Here you can see the path for my the next campaign. I was torn between the infantry division campaign and a general German eastern front campaign. But eventually i decided for the eastern front campaign because this time i wanted something with protos. The path will be more in line with history, so ...

Good job and welcome to the forum

If mapfinder is broken, it is as it is. People still can download the map from the repository when playing. Once i am finished i try to upload to discord a map pack with all the 3K maps which i am using myself for map makers. I plan to upload all the 3K maps (+ one smaller map of Gdansk that is nee...

You do a beautiful job on those maps.

Thank you very much!

I swear, this was not planned :lol :lol So still two more maps by me this year. Then i am finished with my map plans. We all know you can't stop. Now is the time for acceptance... :) Haha no, this time i am serious :lol Two more maps this year: Hel Peninsula and Dnipro. That's it. I swear :ihope Ne...

I need one more map number. 1591 please :howdy [EDIT: I'll also take 1592.] Current Map Reservations: 769-771 / BobC 875-879 / Devil's Brigade 926 / Halberdier 1106-1110, 1112-1120 / Nashorn 1166-1168 / gtmx 1251 / Nero 1287-1290 / General Gordon 1437-1439 / SpasteurDeMoTe 1523 / Wonderdoctor 1539 /...

Another map is finished :howdy Number: 1589 Name: Rostov West (3K) Location: Russia Period: WWII Map size: 3150;3000 Comment: mod of map 1533 ---------- If anyone is interested to merge the new map 1589 with map 1533, you can easily do it. The XXL map would be 4770 pixel wide: https://i.imgur.com/sf...

Hehe yes, please replace the efile files with the newer ones i uploaded at discord. Then there will be the healer ship

Sorry, but i still don't understand

A airborne healer unit?
The hospital chip carries a unit?
The hospital ship land and a Brandenburger now becomes a healer unit?

I am confused. Sounds like many bugs or something

The hospitalship carries an airborne healer unit.

What does that mean?

Current scenario: Raid to England Another commando mission, this time at the coast of Norfolk. At HQ i tweaked attachments only. OpenGen 0.93.5.RC1.e * 9 Jan 2024 * AI version: 2.00 (2014) Efile folder: D:\Games\OpenGeneral\efile_atomic\ * Efile version: ATOMIC EFILE Version: 8th September 2023 Cam...

Current scenario: The attack at Scapa Flow Tweaked attachments at HQ. The player gets 2 free mortars. This was the hardest scenario so far. Next time i would unite my ships and infantry in the center. That should make it easier. With the help of the navy the infantry is weak when alone and they mad...

Current scenario: Operation Orkney Islands Part II At HQ i bought the recommended bomber and tweaked attachments. It's another commando mission without ships. My planes helped a lot, especially since so many of the have recon movement. Thus i can attack an enemy with 6 planes in one turn and wear t...

Current scenario: Operation Orkney Islands Part I At HQ i bought the recommended fighters. Deployment is limited and so i deployed Bismarck, radar cruiser, flagship and carrier as well as the 4 para units. It's a commando mission but without the ships i think i would not have made it. The paratroop...

Current scenario: Operation Shetland IV Purchase is not possible so i just bought attachments at HQ. A long and complex scenario that i really enjoyed playing. I needed to restart once after some turns to fine-tune my tactics. In the second try i kept my infantries and naval forces together in the ...

Wow, yeah, that's a great addition

I really wonder how you managed to prevent the british capturing Narvik or how did you reconquer the 3 VH there? :grumpy I did not prevent Narvik from being captured. I later shelled the enemy ground units with my ships and then recaptured it. The stosstrupp got embarked at Vassvik after the port w...

I like the campaign very much up to now. It is completely different from most others and has a really good story in it.

I can only second that! Interesting and diverse scenarios. Very refreshing

Current scenario: Operation Shetland III I should not sell attachments at HQ so i have the money to buy 5 attachments for my infantry units only. It's another commando mission. My inexperienced infantries have a hard time fighting the enemy infantry so i try to ignore them when i can. I do not buil...

Current scenario: Operation Shetland II At HQ i tweaked some attachments only. The mission is to intercept an enemy convoy. So after deployment i send my planes out to find the enemy ships while my fleet is steering south-west-south. After a plane sighted the first enemy ship i quickly discover the...

Current scenario: Operation Shetland I At HQ i bought the recommended Brandenburgers, without transports or attachments. The player also gets a free Brandenburger unit. I deployed Bismarck and the seaplane tender and restarted the scenario once for better tactics. It's a small commando scenario whe...

One of my fighters :huh got a leader, i think it was influence, and i declined it with the new option. After i closed the game i saw a message: - Err - U:12 is a fighter but got an improper Leader! - Check CombatTest log file But influence is an proper leader for fighters, no? It's the first time ev...

Current scenario: Defend Faroe Islands Purchase is not possible in this scenario, so i just get some attachments. After deployment i try to intercept the enemy fleets in the southwest and southeast while my air force engage the enemy planes. In the south the enemy lands two units on the island but ...

Current scenario: Faroe Islands At HQ i bought 2 marines units and one fast attack boat. The player also gets a free flak ship. With only 3 ground units i had to make sure i would be able to capture all VHs on the various islands. But my navy and air force again were much stronger than the enemy an...

Current scenario: The securing of Norway: Trodheim At HQ i bought the recommended fighter plus attachment and an attachment for my infantry. I failed to understand that i could capture the nearby port with a ship :bonk in order to deploy the rest of my ships. So i restarted the scenario once. Other...

That works! I probably should have tried that method! Sorry about that, but thanks for your help!

My pleasure! Have fun with the campaigns

I do, yes. This is the e-file information upon login:

And this is what I see on the campaign screen:

Please use the "Play Campaign" button at the bottom, then you will see them in the list

Hi -- thanks for the response! I did just that, and the folder is in the right place. When I boot up OpenGen, I see all the Atomic campaigns *except* for the Blitzkrieg or Weltkrieg ones (so, I do have access to the Allied Italian campaign, D-Day to Deutschland, etc). I just downloaded and checked ...

Hi -- apologies if this is noted elsewhere, but I did not find the information. I can't seem to find the Atomic Blitzkrieg or Weltkrieg campaigns in my OpenGen game, despite downloading an extracting the files directly from the dropbox link on here. (They used to be simply *in* my OpenGen game, but...

Current scenario: The securing of Norway: Narvik At HQ i bought the recommended bomber and attachments. It is always refreshing to play on an own map but a scenario that was built by an other designer. I enjoyed the scenario very much. The fighting was not hard but i still had to make the right mov...

Current scenario: Rescue of the Bismarck At HQ i bought the recommended submarine and some attachments. The player also gets free units. The damaged Bismarck has to retreat and it got further damaged by an enemy bomber, so i did not use it in battle. Instead it was waiting in the port, guarded by a...
