Adding Auxillaray Units, inside a campaign?

Post by ME262 »

Playing the PK campaign, at the moment I am on the third scenario Kharkov. When I try to purchase aux. units I am unable.... I tried to use a cheat code to enable such action.. nothing happening... is this common whenever using 2nd rate forces (lol)
I have several DLC's of OOB, does this allow me to play custom mods/scenarios/campaigns????
I hope this isn't like PG2 were one would have to install specific equipment files in order to play ( not that was ever an issue)
P.S. I checked the game manual for such situations but couldn't locate..
OH YEAH, LOVING THE GAME!!

Three preliminary answers:

1) Kharkov has been mentioned a number of times here as needing some patchwork. Fixes supposedly will be included in the next patch ("v5.2.5 Open Beta Changelist: [among other things] Fixes to Panzerkrieg scenarios Kharkov, Operation Zvezda/Star, Voronezh and Stalingrad").
2) You only need to own one official DLC to be able to play custom scenarios and campaigns. I think the same for mods, too.
3) I have never heard of any "specific equipment files" needed to play OOB.

Glad you are loving the game. Spread the word.

In general you can only purchase core units and deploy thwm if you have enough command points.
You cannot purchase aux units.

One of the great beauties of OoB in my opinion is the resource management. Nurturing and developing your core force, including upgrades and officers, scenario to scenario through the campaign is a lovely RP element and could be further enhanced.
