20. vienna - ltbv this wasn't a scenario, but a hunt. i chose a perfect unit for Kapitan Kris' brigade: its speed was very useful when one mp left to resupply my tank which could overran a lot despite of the fast speed advance what my leading core should perform. after thinking a bit, i ignored the...

19. székesfehérvár - ltbv + fighter proto (sold) very crowdy map, so the red dragon could kill a lot. axis side had no real chance, used 4 or 5 paras to take most western flag hexes and they also helped to neutralize a few guns. a german reinf made me a bit harder to take one last vh, but i had ple...

For Chinese National Army campaign there are missing .map files. Where can i download these?

they weren't map files but the scenarios themselves, and it is already fixed in lxf 0.71, just dl it from the repo

fyi, if you don't understand why vast majority of hungarian people support our government against the viertes reich (formerly known: european union) and its veto for the 7y budget: what we don' want is very simple: the christianfobic, nation-fobic, regional sovereignty-fobic international bolshevism...

18. belgrade - ltbv there were two enemies here: time and my allies who often tried to block my move :lol the red beast cleared the western perimeters of the white city, then turned to south and fought its way to beldrade from the south. a few core bypassed the serbian capital and outflanked it fro...

17. iași - ltbv sent 4 paras to take the two most southern vhs, used auxes to waste the ammo of the axis troops, core slowly surrounded the central area of the map, and the red beast overan as much as it could. when i achieved the air superiority, i started buying temporal "rocket" bombers, what i ...

16. sevastopol - ltbv + 3 leaders and flak proto (sold) nice and easy mission. my recom bombers and aux sub sank enough axis ships (maybe 1 or 2 escaped), the red beast led my attack on the central front toward the fartest airfield in the west. this time Kapitan Kris' brigade lost 3 os points again...

15. zhitomir-berdichev - ltbv +2 leaders the red beast operaten in the south, supported by one cs unit and a leaderd arty. fortunately, two more guns picked up leaders, so the northern front advanced smoothly too. my core+aux air defense surprised lots of nasty german planes :yes su-152 proved its ...

The "prayer", "shh" and "lolnod" smilies have disappeared

sh

lolnod

prayer never was added, can you post a good gif for it? maybe i can add it this weekend

ok, i gave you ten days to catch me up, but now it's obvious, my competitors learn to play from my aars :p :devil 14. kursk - ltbv it wasn't that hard as it looked like. basically patience, arty support fire and concentrated counterattacks gave me the bv. after trying a few deployment compositions, ...

welcome on board, Jurgen!

happy hunting!

Unfortunately none is long gone.

i invited him last year to this forum, a he wrote he "took a pause", but until his comeback, you can mail him if you know his email address. if not, just post your questions here, and i ask him (and maybe suggest to break his pause)

Open General is 32 bit is it not?

yes, it is, i just wondered whether the x64 libs in linux had backward compatibility, as ubuntu planed to drop the entire i386 support, but it seems it's necessary for running wine, and at least the ubuntu 20.04 lts supports the i386 packages

German spearheads are passive for 2 rounds, trying to lure you into a "trap". As you know, the Russians attacked during this phase and were beaten. :phew ok, i've played two turns, and attacked only in SE, where i saw a chance for limited advance, but was scared that nothing happened in the north, ...

kursk is freaking boring. does ai really do nothing for a few turns?

is that normal? am i intended to attack a superior enemy using an excelent defense formation?

c'mon Björn, let the ai be a mindless berserker here

just a quck question. do we really need to add all those 32bit i386 packages? i've checked my laptop, and adding wine would require more than 1gb disk space, which sounds a bit ridiculous. as it works on my desktop pc, i don't mind, but in the future, it can be intersting to use only wine64 packages...

is it possible to filter AI units with "aggressive/defensive" stance in unit settings view? That would be possible if I could find the room to place a couple of additional checkboxes (or a new combobox) in the filter area of Units View :huh :dunno Nah, no additional options needed. actually, if tha...

I have seen the most important thing and this is that new units only have 70 exp. This will cause only little damage to the germans. that's not true. even a 0-bar arty helps a lot to lower the entrenchment level of the defending units, which means your attaking units lose less sp secondly, you can ...

13. 3rd kharkov - ltbv (held 6 vhs) + range-2 tank proto :banana first of all, i had to reload the last turn 8-9 times to get a bv, and it was absolutely irrelevant, as the problem was retaking zmiev at 26,16 in the east, while my :monster operated in the south. as you can see my screenshot: ihad l...

If I had known that, I would have bought a few artillery units. :huh you can see the available turn prestige of the coming scenario before you start playing and you can see the available turn prestige at the beginning of each scenarios. you say you never read these intels? :yikes edit: e.g. during ...

Current scenario: Third Battle of Kharkov , VH prestige is 720 , All map prestige is: 900 Army cost: 9988 , Current prestige is 6425 haven't you tried to use this large amount of cash to buy something useful and/or refit badly damaged core? i won this scenario last night, and i bought 4 range-4 gun...

Sorry for the silly question but I were off for a while... What is the OG RC? And is it necessary to use now + update e-files for this RC? szia Gábor! :howdy i hope you are fine! RC is "release candidate": basicaly the next official stable exe, waiting for playtesters, players confirm it is stable ...

12. tatsinskaya raid - ltbv +2 leaders (one combat support :banana ) it was a nice, easy-peasy intermission, unfortunately my beast ran out of the ammo during the last turn, so i missed 3-4 more kills :whatever i followed Björn's map, i don't think there would be too much other winning tactics poss...

http://luis-guzman.com/OpenGenChangeLog.html#LastVersion I loaded the "OpenGenRC.zip" from this page and copied and overwrite but the efile-error in the atomic file is still there. Thanks is no big deal i can wait for the next OpenGeneral-Version. and do you actually run the rc.exe? i don't get any...

Thanks for your reply i copied and overwrite the three files and the missing icon is still there. I installed dozens of versions of Open General and the error irks me. :) would you send us a decent bugreport with a savefile, version of the efile, opengen.exe and the openicon.dat (filesize in bytes ...

And if you compare your army with Björns army you have a huge disadvantage. did i? :huh Björn's army after voronezh: Summary: * 22 Units * 6 Leaders Total : 9226 exp, 380 kill, 11003 pp Average: 419 exp, 17 kill, 500 pp my army after voronezh: * Summary: * 26 Units * 8 Leaders Total : 8865 exp, 375...

OT-34 , 1/1TB , 5 bars , 4481 exp , Soviet Union , 15/10 , Overwhelming Attack , Special Munition, 274 kill , 1475 pp - U:001 [+273 exp] did the flamethrower tanks have the overrun spec in the past? somehow this one looks very powerful and/or cheap for me (and i :bonk for not using it yet ;) ) i li...

sorry, i'm in a rush, just two quick notes, as you mentioned me 1. i called my counterattack at voronezh pyrrhic, not the bv. with a more defensive appriach, this scenario coukd be really easy, but my goal was to kill more by my :monster , this tactics was costly 2. our core aren't the same. mine is...

Who is it - OG team?

well, there is no such thing officially, but i think the admins of this forum (Luis, Juankar, me) can be considered as "og team". of course, Luis is the boss, it was a semi-joke, that's why i used the smiley

11 voronezh - ltbv + 3 leaders and aa proto (sold) deployed the stronger half of my core at north, weaker one at south, only auxes defended the central region between the rivers. till the 6th turn, everything went smoothly, my big guns defended my core, the red beast counterattacked frequently, my ...

Do you know if there is still a Latin General homepage? If i remember correctly there was one, but now i can not find it anymore. the last known LG site was on Gilestiel page, but the link i know doesn't work, maybe you can ask Gilestiel (he appeared here recently) or just upgrade the campaign with...

I can`t reproduce it, (...) Maybe Luis will know what happened. if YOU can't reproduce, how do you expect anybody else can reproduce? :huh the game always creates an autosave file at the end of the turn, which will not be overwritten untill you press the "end turn" of your next turn. so anytime a s...

The german Luftwaffe are mostly just bombers (a dozen?) And there are only two or three fighters that can protect them - it should be an easy game, because auxiliary fighters are also available on the Soviet side. but 3 core and 2-3 aux fighters aren't enough to defend all core units against these ...

Wasted time only for this scenario to get a BV: 3 1/2 hours; since scenario 6: 8 hours well, the most important "rule" of any cc / mtc here is this: "have fun!" so if chasing the BVs is a pain in the a*s for you, it's not worth to push it so hard anyway, i played 5 turns of this scenario yesterday,...

10. 2nd kharkov - ltbv (killed 65 units) +2 leaders the new t-34/76b with its +2 ha was worth for every kopeyka it costed. supported by the "commissar tank", it became a true killer machine :yes (well, at least i think that until i see Para's stats :lol ) as the north-eastern deployment worked well...

After the broken graphik on the map partially downloaded map I had some other bug strange issue . The values of my :monster like munition, fuel and so on are really strange. https://abload.de/img/bugtankcvjhx.png what do you think is strange? exp is 2952, fuel is 101/114, ammo is 0/11. they seem to...

When were the licenses added to the campaigns?

in the latest olgcw/ww2 packs, in the readme files

i'd say, when a designer is not active since more than 2-3 years (like Santi and Pablo), their closed licensed stuffs can be used as if they hadn't the "nd" closure

9. klin (aka moscow) - ltbv + fighter proto (sold) deployed the red beast with its usual companionship (incl. big gun, hq tank, leadered rcn car) at the north-eastern region, after breaking through the german defense, it turned to south and helped the auxes to clear the central region, then turned ...

as nobody :whine loudly against Clemens' idea, i've uploaded the efile_mtc package to the repo, with the predefined tank leader (tested, it works), it will be available here from tomorrow (26th oct 2020) 04:00 a.m .: http://www.open-general.com/install/efiles_c/EFILE_MTC01.zip tomorrow i'll be busy,...

Csaba blamed me using 150% were a lit bit ridiculous i didn't blame you, i simply misinterpreted the rules, maybe my unconciousness suggested that 75-100% would be better for a MTC than 75-150% :lol If there are so hard rules it is not friendly for beginners. :nyet that's correct, but a monster cha...

...but 4-5 hours and all the effort for 70 exp and 15 kills more than in my run, which took relaxed 15 minutes. :shock well, it's possible, that was the most important point. the extra 15 kills is only the ice on the cake :) 8. yelnya - ltbv when i saw the battlefield, i was worried about my small ...

Felt a bit robbed of kills here as the enemy where spread out a lot

your monster tank still leads this challenge

of course, you are right, it's not easy to choose the best path for the

here

keep up the good job!

:welcome in this challenge! don't be afraid, as Chris wrote: Björn's prestige settings are very friendly, you can easily recover 30% loss at 100% by using a combination of green and elite replacements (it's worth to keep at least the exp points what you had before the scenario for each units unless ...

Scenario Major Heinz (without rules) IMO, the [all BVs] rule should always be interpreted on a "if possible" basis. If players are unable to achieve a BV because of scenario complexity, they should still qualify for the statistics - if all other rules are met. What do you think ? the "all BVs manda...

After 3 or 4 hours of play, I missed BV. Only 6/10 units were evacuated (AI two, I four - the fifth was killed 3 hexes in front of the exit) and the Germans then occupied all VH's and all exit points - except the VH in the west. Now the Germans are returning to the West ... and I break off and thin...

nice job, Chris!

can you accept the malus for your attachments? is it worth the cost?

7. bialystok-minsk - ltbv (10 units escaped) :rip 1-1 temporal inf and rcn that was a huge pain in the ass. not because it was hard, i found a very good tactics to win, but it was soooooooo slow, i hardly could wait the allied p-3 a.i. to move, and it usually did terrible job (maybe the last offici...

6. vyborg - ltbv +1 leader and a tank proto (sold) ok, i restarted the scenario immediately and upgraded two cav to para instead of purchasing a temporal arty. these vdv guys flew to the south-west and helped to clear the city around bv-2. the red beast operated in the north, but later could kill l...

5. raate road - ltbv (5 units escaped) advanced slowly to keep my guns fully surrounded. it meant i couldn't use the red beast tank as much as i wanted, but i can't complain, it was a very effective spearhead of my core now i swim in prestige, so i used only elite replacements, purchased the recomm...
