AbteilungBattleLublin1939_v0011.rar

This scenario is 30x20 hexes and has been created to see how light tanks (Panzer II) fights.
Historically, two polish armoured brigades where deployed near Lublin.
Two polish infantry brigades have been added to protect two primary objetives.
One panzer division (2 armour, 1 grenadier brigades) try to conquer polish cities.
As it involves sieges I have halved the initiative of artillery units.
Previously, they fire again attackers who takes heavy suppresion losses.

So here is the last database with almost german, british and polish rooster:

Hello, I have added air forces for both german and polish armies.
It took me 20 turns in colonel level to conquer the 3 primary objectives.

Hello, I have discovered another advantage of reconmove tanks.

First, deploy your panzer brigade near the objetive.
Second, outflank the enemy unit to get the mass attack bonus.
Third, as tanks and recon units have reconmove trait they can pursue the enemy if it retreats after loosing the combat.
In my mod, tanks are more flexible at the offensive than tank killers.

Twin-engine strategic bombers (Do-17, Ju-88 and He-111) are multipurpose now: tactical bomber and strategic bomber. They can attack at low altitude. Twin-engine strategic bombers are good against soft targets. Original tactical bombers are good against hard targets.

Four-engine strategic bombers (He-177) are still strategic bombers only but have better soft attack values than twin engine bombers.

Some fighter-bombers, like Bf110 or Mosquito, can now be upgrade via fighter rooster or via tactical bomber rooster.
Tactical bombers can smash the enemy with direct fire if you haven't got any enemy unit near the objetive.
Strategic bombers can do suppresion damage and attack can be followed by ground forces. Also are less vulnerable to AA guns.

Hello, I have finished Fall Weiss Scenario v.00.61.
I have been playing some turns and I haven't found classical bugs like infantry or artillery without trucks or halftracks.
It will take me some days to finish the game and place it inline.
I need to adjust prestige earn and the number of turns.

This is a what if scenario partially inspired in historical OOB.

Germans have 6 panzer divisions (2 panzer and 1 grenadier brigades), 4 panzergrenadier divisions (1 panzer and 2 panzergrenadier divisions) and 8 motorised infantry divisions (3 infantry brigades) of 32 units each one. Also has 42 airplanes.

Poland has 48 infantry brigades of 10 units each one and 6 armoured brigades of 5 units each one.

Germany is the attacker who has to conquer more primary objetives that start in polish hands.

Germany army costs 132.000 prestige points while polish army costs 82.000 prestige points. But motorised, mechanized and armoured units cost more because of greater movement. Poland are entreched in his cities so you must siege them with infantry and outflank them with tanks. Playing with germans, I try to manouver with one brigade per road.

And the same problem than before: too slow AI turn.

I have reduce movement for all units (panzer iii 10, panther 12, etc.)
I have increased the infantry movement.
And movement pzdat has been adjusted.

Towed movement has been increased.

The idea of increasing infantry movement is that it can reaches the front lines from the rear.

I suppose that if you have a good processor you can run previous mods with a fast AI turn.

But if you have a i3 at 3.6 Ghz you will find AI turns very slow.

Hello, I am working on Fall Gelb 1940: the invasion of Belgium.
Here is a preview with the land forces of Germany and Belgium. In this scenario OOB is historical and game scale is regiment instead of battalion.

It's probably worth doing your missions like DLC-39, where the Poles attack and defend well

Hello, I am going to make a campaign with polish scenarios but I have some questions.

Where is the mod pack you mentioned? Can I use those unit icons freely?

How can we buy ships?

I have some problems doing the campaign. There is no problem making scenarios but I have problems with campaign.pzdat. The idea is that the campaign appears at the classified campaigns like other DLC's. What should I do? I need help.

P.D. Well, I don't think I can upload the mod pack icons because they are large too much. That's why I only use generic icons. Sorry.

I am doing a complete overhaul of the equipment (the arsenal) and I recommend to use the rulebook I have made it for Abteilung Series. You can probe them at the beta statement at the following old scenario.

Hello, I have stop the Poland Campaign to do an overhaul of the original Panzer General for Panzer Corps. Thanks to Nico and Guille. Poland, Warsaw and Norway already done. I am playing Low Countries scenario. You can play the first three scenarios and save the game while next scenarios are available. Tell me what do you think.

New database included with most of german units done. Also Poland, Norway, UK, Belgium, Netherlands and France finished up to the point of playing the first part of the mod, from 1939 to 1940. France I, France II and Sealion 1940 can still be played with the equipment and the gamerules. Tell me what do you think.

I mean, the equipment and the game rules are compatible with the 1939 and 1940 vanilla campaigns.

Isn't the Panzer General mod by nikivdd an exact copy of the vanilla game already based on the Panzer Corps game ?

Yes, original Panzer General for Panzer Corps is a Nico's campaign. It seems a lot of original Panzer General but it is not exactly 100% equal. I have asked for permission to use the maps he has made for this campaign. The equipment, the rules and the OOB is mine, taken from the wikipedia and several books. I have tested and corrected the Low Countries scenario with new belgian and german OOBs. And added original, I haven't done them yet, France and Sealion scenarios. Equipment is not prepared yet to remake scenarios beyond 1941.

Well good luck and patience hope you will get a classic already on the new engine )

It's a pity that no one will reanimate this game Pacific General from the same series since Japanese and Chinese are now in the mod pack )

Panzer General
If you have read PC-Review N23 you may have seen my article about discrimination of Soviet equipment in the above mentioned strategic game by Strategic Simulations inc. However, this is a common state of affairs, and it would even be strange if the Americans stopped overstating their role in WWII and remembered who destroyed 75% of German equipment and who took Berlin.
Having released two up-dates (versions 1.1 and 1.2) for PG, SSI eliminated not all the numerous bugs: introducing a non-zero soft attack for the British Archer self-propelled gun and allowing the US Brige Eng to fulfil its main function - to build bridges over rivers.
The firm left the rest of the fixes and injustices to my already heavy share.
