Very nice map
And there are Polish place names ..

Thank you

the submarine specific variables (2018) in the efile cfg. What do you mean? Anyway, it's clearly a regression since as I said older executables don't display this shadowing, while newer ones do (on the same test scenario linked above). :huh For example, as far as i know, sub_ex=1 is not widely used...

Maybe it has something to do with the submarine specific variables (2018) in the efile cfg.

Current scenario: Raid to Scotland At HQ i added attachements to my ground units, which i can deploy only in this commando mission. After deployment i captured the nearby flags and then disperesd my units across the map. One group moved in the west, one one the peninsula in the center and two units...

:howdy I wanted to ask about tile maps Specifically, the hex_tiledecors.png files I understand that there are terrain in the rows x3 (for dry, frozen, muddy) What is in columns 2 through 15? How it's working? Why are there 22 such files (tiledecors)? There are 22 latitudes you can choose for a scen...

Current scenario: Attack on Iceland At HQ i bought the recommended MG units and did the recommended sidegrade of the mountain mortar > marines mortar. You have to cover great distanced with your units and so i sent my brandenburgers to the northeast early while the rest of the units were still figh...

Added a 3K map pack download link to the first post. The rar file has 286mb and contains 84 3K maps, all but 3 are 8-bit png maps.
One smaller map is also added that is needed to play the Weltkrieg campaign.

Another map is finished

Number: 1560
Name: Hel (3K)
Location: Poland
Period: WWII
Map size: 3150;3000

When playing PBEM with the new leader options i get asked to accept leaders for the other player. Happens when it is my turn but the enemy unit gets a leader in a defensive action.

Started to convert 3 PBEM scenarios, so there is at least something to offer in this department. Kessler kindly allowed my to convert some of the Panzerliga scenarios. Dimitris and me already startet playing/testing the first one. The 3 scenarios will be: - 1941 Battle of Moscow - 1942 Battle of Tun...

The campaign path must look like a modern art painting

Sounds like a very interesting campaign and story

Also question - does Open General have tech descriptions for units? I could write a thing or two for each of these (and then info about the hypothetical vehicles too - where the grounds in reality are for their designs for instance). Yes, it is possible to have a unitpedia. Information and a pictur...

I do not remember to have done any document summarizing the differences between AI2 and AI3 (only comments within the code). Hehe, no, we never got any info about the differences between AI 2.0 and 3.0 :) But what you wrote sound great and i will also use AI 3.0 from now on. And also switch to AI 3...

Here's an Italian prototype: Semovente da 149/40 with a 149mm gun with a range of 23.700m mounted on the back.

Hehe yeah, the barrel length of the 155mm SPG looks unreal. The 130mm looks much better and more realistic

The 105mm SPG looks great too!

That's a double post of the Tempest Mk. II ! And all the planes i posted are from UK and UK only ! Maybe some can be added to Australia or Canada as well
I haven't post yet the French planes i made or reworked

I understand

Thanks!

Tempest II

Tempest F.II

Just two questions:
Is this a double post of the same icon MG259 or is there one missing?
Are all plane icons French? Or is it a mix of Fance and UK icons?

I wonder if you guys plan to create a new ROP campaign some day in the future? There are many new ROP units and icons, new maps and stuff. Does nobody ever think about designing a new big ROP campaign?

Very interesting! Let us know when the campaign is ready to play

Great job once again

Maybe some sort of self-propelled artillery like a Hummel or Wepse for the 25TP family? Or one that could be used in direct and indirect role.

Fantastic! Thanks again!

Maybe i asked before, but do you build some french campaigns with all the units (icons)?

Do all bots have the same general IP resp. are from the same country?

Hi again, I forgot the RAF !
Here, i wasnt quite ok with the colors of existing icons, so i re-made almost all fighters and bombers, except the heavy bombers ("flemme", as we say in France !)

Wow, you were quite productive!

Do you have a excel sheet with the names and stuff?

Hi guys, hope you're all well !
Here some new (or less new) French icons i made these past few months (years ? oO) ! Of course i usually use existing ones as "base" and then edit them.
Feel free to use these icons as you want !

Wonderful

Thanks a lot

I didn't know i could simply open the file with photoshop

It works, many thanks!!

Can sombody please help and extract a high res picture from this pdf map of khalchin gol?
https://maps.lib.utexas.edu/maps/jog/ru ... ngolia.pdf
Nothing i try works.

I think it is better to keep the style of the existing icons and not having 20 new icons look very much different. Personaly i would favor to use wrong icons (that i have to do anyway becasue many icons do not exist) than icons that look too different.

I put together a historic Soviet campaign path as counterpart of the German Eastern Front campaign. It's something for 2025 though :lol There are 32 scenarios. But only 4 in 1942. 1 German-Romanian Offensive 02.07.41 1555 2 Siege of Odessa 05.08.41 1498 3 Nikolaev Pocket 12.08.41 1571 (Escape from p...

There was absolutely a 155. And it was impressive too, it outranged the Long Tom that I posted on the Sherman chassis before. Maximum range: 27600m A fine gun indeed. I already corrected the error in the efile :cool The name was correct even, wz. 40, but it was only available from summer 1944. That...

Guys I love you all and all the forums and all the efiles and campaigns And I also love girls and panzers.

Amen

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...
