12. nordwind - lttv it was pretty much the original ssi-design, and a gold mine :) i upgraded the dev.fire arty to 17cm k18, and all remaining inf to ss pzgrenadiere Current scenario: Dukla Pass, VH prestige is 80 , All map prestige is: 160 Army cost: 8808 , Current prestige is 209 AI stance is Agg...

11. metz - lttv ai never had any chance to cross the moselle river, and after 2-3 defensive turns i launched my counterattack and crushed the yankees upgraded the second tank to panther g, the combat support recon got half-tracks, upgraded a gebirgsjäger to ss pzgrenadiere and the last horte tpt of...

10. nancy - lttv +1 (last) leader the number of the allied airforce is the same as it was in normandy but the quality is much better, it was harder to eliminate the usaaf, fortunately the last leader was picked by the spad, and tv limit was also very friendly, so i could form a strong defense in th...

9. st-lô - lttv +2 leaders much harder than previous scenarios, but regular victory would be doable without losing a core. after creating a strong defense around the northern airfield, my most mobile units turned to south, cleared the western bank of the main river (vire river), while the auxes hel...

8. carentan - lttv the beneficts of my tactics are cumulating: this one was another easy mission unlike as expected: the 8,8 flak proved its fame and i was able to neutralize all bombers (though killed only a few planes) in an early stage of the scenario and my mobile ground forces advanced unarmed...

7. corinth - lttv +2 leaders an easy-peasy intermission (could be a bv again), i tried to train the least experienced units after thinking a lot, i decided to keep my fighters and to buy a 8,8 flak instead of a sold inexperienced 3,7 flak, and i continued the upgrade of my inf detachment (i have a ...

6. kharkov - lttv +2 leaders another piece of cake, IF you are patient the commies massacred the romanian auxes and then rushed toward the german vh in the SW, i waited them on the flanks, and crushed the encircled soviet army without any problem, the result could have been a bv again, but, you kno...

5. gela - lttv +5 leaders it was a walk in the park, maybe it could have been a bv too. of course there are signifigant differences why it was so easy for me, unlike whereis wrote: - i have a combat support recon leader, which has only two bars, but it was busy to support my flaks and arty guns, so...

why do you push so hard and go for bv? protos are disabled during the entire campaign, slower speed means you can concentrate your core and beat ai's battlegroups one by one and/or you can let them kill themselves in suicide attacks

4. syracuse - lttv +1 leader i deployed my best units to north, and the rest only defended the roads and paths toward the italian vh, retreating slowly, while my main core break through the british defense, cleared the northern city and turned to south and rushed alongside the coastline (the mobile...

i second Jurgen's opinion

if there will be fllod of aars, we can create a new subforum for them, of course

3. don - lttv +2 leaders that was brutal, restarted a few times to figure out how to stop the commies. basicaly i sent all core to the north-western path, and tried to stop ai behind the river. i managed it, but the cost was terrible, i had to send back more and more badly damaged core and sacrific...

Hello Csaba, thank you for investing time into the problem. In my opinion, the goal should be to have the same starting conditions in all three e-files. actually, that was the reality in 2004, but as i see Jan tuned this campaign, the bp is the oldest, lg is the newest, and the cc team at that time...

1. chir - lttv (replay) i wasn't happy with my "tankless" core, so i restarted the campaign and purchased 1-1 decent pz iii and pz iv tank, but it meant i could purchase the worst kind of units from other classes, like 3,7cm pak or 2cm flak. the scenario was much harder, as the 7,5cm pak were much ...

okay, it's mostly a playtest, so i might abandon it anytime i feel it's too harsh for me :) i read the announcement, and this is definitely a messedd cc, some of the campaigns have been updated, starting core and readme have been changed and they aren't consistent i picked up the lg version because ...

welcome back!

it's funny that "everybody" said in the good old days that bp is a harsh efile and campaigns made for it are much harder to play, but you are right, the permanent and inconsistent changes in the lg efile and acmpaigns can ruin playability. that's why we restored the original efile versions for the o...

Ok, given the recent, unilaterally proclaimed "posting race", it's in the practical interest of "Open Mike" to invite as many posts as possible, right ? :doh i sincerely ask everybody posting here to not start a spam war. okay, it's the pub, the rules about offtopic posting are less restrictive her...

welcome back, Aries! :howdy happy hunting! if yomeone has a chance to reach Para's records, it's you! i strongly recommend to use the fastest, fully os-ed tanks as a :monster later a flame version of the t-34 will be available with good stats and overrun (please send me a p.m. if you want to restore...

dear everbody!

i try to reinstate old ranks what people had on jp's, but my presence is hectic and my attention is grabbed so much work/life related stuffs, so i easly can miss somebody or mess things up

please, don't hesitate to report when i do an oopsie or forget to set your old ranks

congratulations!

i think it's not premature to announce you as a winner

Now I lost the final scenario, and I am back at the start of the campaign!!! :thud WTF is this? A conspiracy against :bs way of ending the CC? :yuck yep, sorry, this is a campaign where ALL scenarios should be completed by a sort of win , regarding to the low number of scenarios, i'm adding it to t...

I've been thinking about a second MTC, including the rules, but haven't made a final choice yet. :2cents If cavalry tanks are something that you are willing to accept, the Turkish campaign is an option. It has been on the potential CC list for a few years now. i vote for playing the turkish campaig...

EDIT: i would have suggested the KAISER "long journey to freedom" campaign, because it has lot's of enemies. But unfortunately it takes some scenarios before you'll be able to get a cavalry, so it's a :nyet a "monster whatever challenge" can be interesting too iirc. Aleksandr once tried to train a ...

The AI is not playing the AI team. What happened?

you might accidentally disable the A.I by the <alt> + a hotkey

(maybe this hotkey should work only in debug mode? what do you think, Luis?)

happy new year! boldog új évet kívánok!

szia István! :howdy yes, the old jp's forum is dead :( regarding opengen: the firewall and/or anti-virus programs can block it, have you tried this? http://www.open-general.com/faq/faq00009.php edit: and try to install outside the user and/or program files folder, a c:\opengen would be perfect edit2...

well, it actually works, but it's so slow that usually gives http 500 error back

maybe around christmas i can check it, or simply turn it off, if i can't find an easy way to speed it up

Many maps were never done with air missions in mind, so the distances between airfields can be too long. I'm not sure if AI can use the system effectively. Number of air transport doesn't really matter, at least for para units. I will expand the list is anything else comes to my mind. - you can add...

I saw that all the correct names are in Polish, and incorrect in English -> finding an incorrect signature - does not translate into Polish (leaves an original) No expression/name - Air Attack and Air defense They were replaced by - Naval Attack and Naval defense is the strings_efile.txt used and/o...

If the bicyclist were to ever stop pedaling, well, the glorious ride would be over. well, yes i see your point. so maybe we should call the "simple revolutions" like dethroning an unpopular tyrrant a rebellion/revolt? :dunno *** now something different. the formerly known Ellen Page announced to be...

I wrote <:> + <shh> :doh so nothing to do here, am i right? That is the lol smilie, at JP's we had a separate lolnod version. Examples: they seem to be mutually commutable for me, sorry Anyway: https://www.smiliesuche.de/smileys/betende/betende-smilies-0003.gif found sth like this, will add later

Another bloody affair with 50 aux units

the good news is that it was the last challenging scenario. the bad news is that your ace fighter simply overthroned my precious

i'm not inactive, i just ran out of the free time in this year, and maintaining the icon db is the most time consuming activity. yep, we can drop the checking phases, etc. and maybe that's exactly what i will do, but no matter what, my free time is very limited nowadays, so don't expect frequent and...

Maybe in some scenarios like Inchon include in the briefings some advice over limited deployment? :2cents good idea :yes and thanks for your help! it turned out 8 of 12 scenarios have limited deployment. i've added this notes to the related briefings: NOTE: Deployment zone is limited to X hexes. th...

edit: sorry i'm busy, would you send me the scenarios with limited deployment, where the briefing should be edited? Nearly all of them, but in some this is more acute, like in Inchon. I'll take a look and sent them to you. :huh afaik only 2-3 scenarios were limited, and there are sh-s on the map, m...

it's interesting that your core was smaller and weaker after moscow than in your first run, with a very singificant difference: this time you have a full regiment of the range-6 122mm a-19 arty guns

they are really deal makers, aren't they?

happy hunting!

good to see you advancing through the hardest battles

clap would you post your 2nd kharkov aar too, please?

I'm of the opinion that the time-honored "right-left" divide is now bereft of either analytical or practical utility. It's post-modernity... a few years ago i would have agreed with you. now what i see is the left / proggressive side is exactly the same old furious jacobin movement believing in the...

i really don't think too much summary is needed for this campaign. it's a high quality, interesting, well balanced, well designed piece of work. as always: playing at lower prestige level is recommended only for experienced players, the money is much more important with no-autorefit campaigns i hope...

21. manchuria '45 - ltbv it's an excellent scenario :clap very interesting design :yes it was also one of the rare occasions where teleporting reinf are absolutely correct. two of my core guns damaged badly because of them, bud i had plenty of prestige to refit damaged units, so the costly crossing...

Guille! it's nice to see you again!

***

Clemens, you are absolutely right: "winterization" is not an easy task, even for icons or terrain layers for tiled maps, it can be very time consuming. and i think nobody can question your commitment for making excelent maps!

switching from Efile to Efile is nothing for me especially if they are so different like Atomic and LXF ).

yep, that can be very confusing, indeed

i also second Para, and express my appreciations to you for fighting through the difficulties in the middle of the campaign
