I didn't think of that. Thanks.

In AO, I've had no problems creating custom heroes. I've just started trying in the stock campaign and I've run into a snag. With Battleaxe and Crusader the script looks good and throws out no errors. However the heroes don't appear. I think the problem has something to do with the existing .lua fil...

What you suggest is quite possible. I did coding as a modder for game about 10 years ago, and had similar plans to build in a network of what ifs to run at game start. My vision was to run the background "campaign" in two ways. 1. As a set of random variables set at game start. 2. Make all...

PC3? If there is such a beast, I hope the devs are smart enough to realize that being able to use the escape key to close every main dialog EXCEPT for purchase/upgrade is boneheaded idea. /End rant Good discussions on "what if" are few and far between. If the opportunity comes up, I'd love...

For me, the most intriguing Italian "what if" of the early war is what if they had used their two airborne battalions (Libyan troops) to seize Malta on the day they declared war. Malta was undefended and with the port seized, Italy could have reinforced long before the British could respon...

I have a standard set of unit changes I make each time the game updates. You can play the game your own way by editing the Units file in the /Content/Data folder. Back up the Units file before you make changes. If you make extensive changes, create a .txt file in the /Data folder to document them.

Hi, I have been looking for a good Cold War Germany operational level game/sim. During my Army time, I was in the Sim Center many times, involved in First Battle exercises. These were blue Corps and Division, exercises defending against Soviet armies and fronts. I've planned and run them, usually fr...

Thanks for the replies.

Hi Grondel, I play through Steam and have subscribed to the mod. The mod is active in the mod manager and I can play the GC. I'd like to find the files with the new hero handling to see how you did it. However, when I looked in the mods folder, the old 2022 files for the GC were showing up. I've sin...

Remember Gamelin! There were many factors contributing to the French collapse in 1940, political, military leadership, command skill, command relationships, et cetera. The one military mistake that is unforgiveable even for the time, was Gamelin's refusal to use radio or telephones for his incoming ...

Thanks Thomas.

1. Umlauts seem like an oversight as they work with non-custom heroes.
2. That is exactly what I was looking for.
3. I'll ask on the general board and hope. Will let you know if I get an answer.

Happy New Year!

Hi Grondel, I've been experimenting with custom heroes, repurposing existing unreal assets. 1. Umlauts don't seem to work with custom hero names. Is this correct? 2. When giving a hero a defensive bonus (hard) it shows up in the game as air. Have you run into this? Example: hero.defense_modifiers = ...

Devs released an update to version 1.09.03 which fixes the problem.

If you load a saved game of a mission in progress, it will still crash.

Go back to the final saved game of your last completed mission. Load from there and all will be well.

When attempting to upgrade infantry, the game crashes to desktop.

Tested with upgrades of all other equipment types and no crash. Just infantry.

Checked version and it is 1.09.01. Cleared the Steam cache as well. No change.

Thanks for the reply. I am running no mods.

Went back to check and I disabled the PC1 Grand Campaign mod AFTER I created the AO46 campaign. So that problem is dealt with.

Tested this morning and pressing the "B" key still crashes the game.

After all the problems with having cavalry in my order of battle, I went back to the start of tenacity before I changed to cavalry. Managed to get through Operation O-Go. During setup for San Francisco, the game crashes if I press "B" to open the purchase panel. Another attempt and not pre...

I went back to the last Operation Tenacity save. Now when I end Tenacity, all the non-Azul Infantry (2x Cavalry) are showing as invalid units. Also, those invalid infantry units are categorized as tanks.

Multiple crashes when attempting to upgrade a cavalry unit. Select unit in side panel and click "U". Crash to desktop. Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000018 PanzerCorps2_Win64_Shipping!UUnitClass::CreateFigure() [C:\Projects\PanzerCorps2\SVN\tru...

Thank you.

Hi,

I am working my way through the DLCs and my memory has failed on the triggers for AO43's alternate path. What are the three actions that are needed top that path?

Thank you.
