France 1940 Skirmish Mod released!

[mpetri]

Very nice Paul59! Another great mod. I'm not usually one who makes mod requests and I believe you are really busy helping out on new DLC's with FOC2(?), but sometime in the future would it be a stretch to do a WW1 mod? Not sure how difficult or practical this request is, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
Cheers

I suppose it is possible, Tim1966 did a few WW1 scenarios for Battle Academy and it would be easy enough to bring those units into BA2. There might be a few problems with a WW1 Skirmish mod though; there aren't many units on each side so there would be big problems with the random unit selection, and realistic terrain generation for the west front would also be a huge problem, getting trench lines to stretch across the map would be very difficult.

Hello—-

I was trying to play some of your excellent mods, only to find that they weren’t working on my computer. Every time I tried to load up a scenario the game freezes and gives me an error message such as “Error: failed to load required asset file” and then the name of a unit such as “US Infantry”, “Alpini”, or “Worker’s Militia”. This seems to be a common message I get throughout the various mods as I have tried loading up four separate of the mods now all to get the same message, which appears whether I am trying to play in skirmish mode or campaign mode.

This glitch does not seem to be affecting the main game or other mods, do you happen to know of a fix?

Hi, I have found it inside the game, but it says "singleplayer". Can I also create a multiplayer challenge with it?

Oh just found this gem. Apparently it is possible to play them in multiplayer

Hi, a question about the unit availability during skirmish setup.
Often the combination of units that one could choose from was atrocious. But in these mods it seems you guys made sure that at least there is enough infantry and some typical tanks available; that's nice.

But one problem remains: sometimes there are guns available, but no transports. I think transports should also be a fixed part of every roster?

Also, in the Poland mod I have noticed you can choose between several formations, and in those the roster always stays the same. The best combination seems to be Prusy Army vs panzer division.

Maybe it would be nice if similar formations were created for the other faction mods as well, to make sure the player can always choose between the same units? Like one formation for defense, that always has AT guns, transports, machine guns; and one for offense, that always has tanks, mortars, transports and enough infantry?

Thanks

PS: not sure how much work that would be, but I am willing to help if desired
