Erik's campaigns, mods and multiplayer scenarios

[GabeKnight]

Korea mod v1.4, Main campaign, level4 diff.

suggestions, campaign overall:
- there're 4 core factions with specs - and a wrong timeframe setting (1939). Please fix however applicable. But I'm not sure how (or if) the WW2 specs will fit into this timeframe without some modding.
- It's mid-1950 and you're still super stingy when it comes to RP/turn-income...

scen01
- almost got the MV, they took the last VP on the last turn...
- do the 100RP for the SK even make sense? I mean, do I get them as core faction later on? Most of them get wiped out anyway.
- It's still a strange scen; I mean, given the objectives. The most cost efficient way would be to buy an engineer unit, park it somewhere on the NE side of the map and just let the enemy come. There's no way my units would accomplish anything anyway. I would save a ton of money and my only core unit that way. Just sayin'.

scen02
- I didn't try it, but the enemy 200 supply hub is completely unprotected and approachable by some concealed infantry unit inside the high grass. I was VERY tempted to go after it...
- using the scout unit was perfect! Watching the incoming hordes of T34 tanks was intense.
- Don't forget to bring an engineer to blow the bridge! If not, watch and see what happens once they break through your lines...
- nice and brutal. Without the VERY strong US AT units this scen would be a nightmare...

scen03
- Please, not another scen where I'm supposed to lose all my units. If so, please make them aux. units!
- I think this one is again unbalanced. Too many enemy units, not enough CP to deploy a strong enough force. There's nowhere to retreat and regain efficiency. I'll get surrounded and destroyed. Simple as that.
- The city needs way more supply everywhere. At least "3" for each hex to support an inf. unit.
- I'm not saying this scen is impossible - I hope I never say that - but it would be too puzzle-like. I guess I would be forced to deploy either a horde of regular infantry or engineers or something like that. No arty, no AT, no tanks?
- I'm gonna restart and add myself a couple of land-CP and I'll see how that goes.
- This is where I gave up:

Erik,

Playing your "Desert Rats 1940-43" campaign (v. 6.3. - 06/03/2021) and enjoying it very much. Currently I'm at 5th scenario and have two notice:

1) Scenario no. 03

- I defended all three objectives, but mission ended with a draw.

2) Scenario no. 04

- Issue with a secondary objective ("Hold at least 2 locations at scenario end").

At the end of scenario, two locations (El Maktila and Buq Buq) in my hands, but unfortunately I achieved only minor victory (please see screenshot attached).

Best regards,
guuzidi

Thanks for reporting.
Added this to a new to-do-list.

[Hubbfrosch]

I am now at the 'Germany West 1940'. I wanted to post some feedback after barely making the 'Albert canal' only to find myself in The Hague without ressources... (in the 3rd attempt, after restarting the whole campaign).

Now, I see the changelog and it addresses everything... looks like it even might be too easy now

New to OOB. Do you have posted somewhere how to download and play your campaigns? I was able to get one to appear under custom content but the others in the same folder do not show up. The scroll arrows don't work so I guess it thinks there is only one in the folder.

France 1940 ?

[GabeKnight]

I was able to get one to appear under custom content but the others in the same folder do not show up.

Make sure the campaign folders aren't "nested" after extracting them and that the "campaign.cmz" file is inside the main/first folder of the custom campaign.

[Erik2]

France 1940 ?

Work in progress.
The maps and units are basically in place, but there is still a looooong way to a finished campaign.

[Dmoore]

Gabe Knight - that was it. The file extraction created another campaign folder within the folder, so I copied all the files to the first folder. Thanks.
