Well, now i got the front page of the mod launcher, but when i try to launch nothing happens, my screen remains black and i have to stop the task.
Any idea why?

[SagsGames77]

Yes, same problem I had. Download MicroMod 2.6 shared by Erik on page 97 of this thread, then do as described by Brenmusik on page 96.

Worked for me just a couple of days ago.

[Pekkavilamoura]

Now I have the Mod 2.6. But:

'It happened once before. I "cured it" by reverting to an earlier 2.* mod and dropped the up dated scenarios into it.'

How do i do this - dropping the updated scenarios into it? - Just the scenarios into Mod 2.6 file or replace the whole mod?

[Brenmusik]

If it were me, I'd drop the new mod into the old one but don't overwrite any of the files when given the choice.

[Pekkavilamoura]

Well I already dropped only the new scenarios - nothing more - to the file and let it overwrite the old scenarios.
It seemed to work because i could join some games but i'm still a bit uncertain if i made it right because there are some games stating that i'm not having the Micromod activated - even when i can join the game.

[Erik2]

Note that the Danzig and Market Garden scenarios need the latest units-file in the Data folder and english_mod-file in the Language folder to run correctly.

I have the same issue, but since aside from the error message everything works great even calling it an issue is generous. Quirk might be a better word, heh. Didn't someone say they installed the latest micromod but it was causing the Korea mod to not work? I notice my Korea games have ground to a halt...

Done, hope i did it correctly

.. I notice my Korea games have ground to a halt...

That might have been my fault I was "locked out" of MP games for a couple of days and just finished getting back on track. Rest assured, your Red Tide rolls ever southwards!

[KarisFraMauro]

Nothing to apologize for, seems every time there's an update one of us ends up being locked out for a bit. I was tempted to make a snide remark about Dunkirk in that Korea game but then I remembered who ultimately won in the end with that one!

Korea mod 2.0
Link updated in first post.

1v2 Korea 1950-51 1.4:
Adjusted supply for North and South Korea. This is just about enough to supply these 2 factions' forces.
Added supply ships to match US/UN forces.
Increased US/UN resource income (the North Koreans already have ample income).
105mm and 122mm artillery have range = 3
155mm and 8in artillery have range = 4
Terrain changes to increase movement along roads.

[KarisFraMauro]

Supply, eh well like I've said it isn't that major an issue since if North Korea was competent enough to make the allies run short it would probably win in either event. I do not agree with increasing allied resource points though. That, combined with the supply changes, combined with the artillery range increase, feels like it would tip what was a balanced scenario (I say this having played and done well as both sides) to a not so balanced scenario. At an absolute minimum it reduces the space for different strategies by North Korea. Previously they could turtle and stay in the North, or be hyper aggressive because that also entailed possible results. Now? I don't see how NK can advance south aside from the first handful of turns. Afterwards they'll have no choice but to flee and since they won't have had the opportunity to dig in might as well not even bother in the first place. It's kind of funny to hear NK already had plenty of resource points given that I can't even fully repair my infantry, much less armour and artillery and aircraft.

All this is speculation on my part though. I'll put it to the test and see how things go.

[Erik2]

The UN and Marine factions were hardly able to repair at all with the old resource income. Increasing these were neccessary.
The US and Koreans were ok.
But we need a proper test to see the balance effects on the non-mud map.

Mortar units 15 hex range

[Erik2]

Slightly less for the 120mm, but yes.
Some of the regular high-caliber artillery are in the 30-40 hex range. These weapons would normally be considered off-map assets in a tactical game.
Anyway, I think OOB works surprisingly well in this modus.

Impressive mortar unit.

I have only added unit types that are actually present in the current SquadMod scenarios.
More campaigns might mean more unit types.

[KarisFraMauro]

Ah increasing resources for the Korean / marine units but not the regular US makes more sense to me. I see there are quite a lot of open games now so I'll be diving in. Assuming no gremlins

Evidently I have spoke too soon. I have that can't join glitch. Game refuses to move on from the scenario selection screen to the joining confirmation screen. Sigh...
