Here's a small part of Greater London as a few German units are dying to try their new tennis gear at Wimbledon.
I'm starting the test drive now. Only 9 more scenarios left :roll:

Thanks, I'll make sure to chastise the original PzC designer :D

I will follow your AAR and look for bug reports. Nice that you present it as a kind of bootcamp for new players.

Hi Erik

Can't find any errors in Wyszogrod.
I tested in hot-seat, moved all Polish units off from the objectives and captured them.
All objectives met.

I removed the end-scenario triggers for all objectives. So the scenario should end when all objectives are met.

I have attached the scenario and updated the campaign.

I may be being dumb, but the campaign stops after the first scenario- are there any criteria ( other than not losing) for proceeding to the next scenario?

Thanks - that was not the answer I was hoping for! I downloaded the campaign and saved the entire opened programme in " Campaigns" in " Libraries/ documents/ my games "- it stops after the first battle - but when I copied the scenario within the campaign separately into "scenarios" I can play each one - its just that they aren't linked which is a shame because each battle looks very good.

Bright ideas welcomed

Yes that's where I have it - I have just re-downloaded and installed the campaign and hope that may have cured it.

Erik I finished MODLIN scenario all objectives taken and MAJOR VICTORY there, but Modlin fortresses didn't shoot at all not a single shoot at my troops, I don't know if you can do something with this but I report it to you

There seems to be a problem with AI coastal guns and fortresses firing. It is erratic, some times they work, some times they don't.
Nothing I can do with the scenario, unfortunately. Unless somebody has an idea... :roll:

I know that I am going to regret suggesting this to a person with your modding experience, but have you thought of assigning the guns to an AI Team that is set to Seek & Destroy, and dialing up the Aggression setting? Also clicking appropriate boxes in Target Definition?

Bru is quite clever with good idea.
Maybe the gun turrets can be manned by Manchukuo recruits as Japan ally. Actually that might explain why they are low on motivation.

A long time ago I tried adding coastal guns and forts to AI teams with search and destroy orders. It did not work very well, at least not with coastal guns and naval search/destroy order.
But maybe it is time to give it another try.
Good idea.

Hi Eric - I downloaded SeaLion - but after a few turns it crashed my PC, leaving a background process 'hammering away' taking all resources - could not find via Task Manager.

I have (for various other reasons) with Support, completely reinstalled the core plus all my add-ons and will try again shortly.

As always, as with Battle Academy, good stuff! ......my PC problems apart.

Updated scenarios are now included in the updated Blitzkrieg 39-41 campaign. I fixed the Danzig scenarios today (river objectives).
But if you have general issues with crashes etc, I'm afraid that is for the Tech forum.
Large scenarios may not load or function properly on some PCs. All the scenarios in this campaign are medium sized, so they should not cause these kind of problems.
