Nikivdd:

Started a test-run of the "Project X" campaign. I played the first scenario and started the second one (invasion of Poland).

The first battle (Fall Grun) was very enjoyable... Big map, long battle (many turns), just the way I like it!
I finished with a Decisive Victory with some turns to spare... I was playing the middle (or third) difficult level (leutenant?), and I recognize I am not a crack player... As it is supposed that Germany would have won this battle more or less easily, and bearing in mind that this is the first scenario of the campaign, it is correct for this scen to be not too hard... But in order to make it some more "nail bitting" maybe you can consider to add some more artillery to the Czech defenses. Just a suggestion.
May be in the non-standard equipment version of this campaign, it would be good to add some artillery-type forts (with ranged fire = 2 and capable of providing fire support to neighbouring units - Just a suggestion).
The final word is that I enjoyed this first battle very much. I had to think very carefully sometimes about the way of cracking those defensive unitss around the border fortifications.

I started the secon scenario and noticed two small typos in the initial briefing: Soviet union is in one part written as one word ("Sovietunion") and later in the same text, it is spelled as "Sovjet" (this is german for Soviet?). May be you will want to take note to correct them in the next release of this campaign.

I am playing through turn 4 or 5 and this battle promises to be a tough one. Fortrunately there are 35 turns to play...

Keep the excellent work!! And thanks for sending me the files!!

Thanks for the feedback. The main advantage of the vanilla version is that i don't have to alter any values in the efile but still it is possible to manipulate a unit by adding a "hero" for better or for worse. In Salla i gave the soviet units in both columns a "demotivation" hero, and the player will have no problem to bring the "motti" tactic into practice. Or the finnish units i gave an "arctic" trait, increasing their movement among some other parameters, to emulate hit and run.
It is good to hear that i am still making typos Will correct them, thanks.
Fall Weiss became easier than the version i initially scripted and played. There was more cavalry and i removed certain fortification hexes south of Warsaw, to make it easier to surround that city. Suomussalmi is not easy at all, but the main lessons are how to use the terrain to your advantage (forest) and secondly, a DV in every scenario might not always be possible. Both Winterkrieg missions have no effect on the continuation of the campaign, a loss is no problem either there.

Dude, this Mod rocks!
The DLCs I pay for and enjoy but yours are so much better and I get em for free. I am so thankful you do what you do for us.

Blitz in North Africa

Luckily the Mayans were wrong...so we can all continu modding

At this moment 15 scenarios are done for the vanilla edition:
Fall Grün/Fall Weiss/Bonus mission 01/Winterkrieg: Suomussalmi/Winterkrieg: Salla/Fall Weserübung Plus/Fall Gelb/Angriff Dünkirchen/Fall Rot/Unternehemen Isabella-Felix/Unternehmen Sonneblume/Angriff El Agheila 41/
Unternehmen Herkules/Angriff El Agheila 41 Plus.
I am currently working on Operation Brevity, Unternehmen Skorpion, Operation Battleaxe, Bonus Mission 02 and Operation Crusader.
We wanted to introduce a kind of promotion system, for the vanilla version this will be in the form of bonus missions which will grant you a unit with a special hero, and more.

We are still looking for playtesters. Send a PM if you are interested. An account on http://www.designmodproject.de is necessary, for all material (scenario's/interface/custom units and so on) considering this project is debated and tested overthere (in english and/or german).

Nikivdd: Played Unternehmen Weserubung... Very nice scenario! Very Hard to achieve a DV, but a MV is possible with moderate effort... The AI defends itself very well, except its naval units. The submarines, attack only in case German units stumble upon them, but they dont seem to patrol looking for targets... The surface Allied Fleet remains still until enemt units (naval) are in range, they seemed to move only to bombard my paras far north of the map... But this is not, I think, a fault from modders, just the A.I.

Very well thought the way the player is urged to take one of the objective hexes!

Very good battle!

That fleet is kept rather stationary after i added more british ships. I didn't really want to focus here on a sea battle although lots of german ships join the player's core. It should make the advance along the coastlines easier.

Those screens look like a lot of work went into this project. All those big maps

Keep up the great work guys

Thanks Bebro
I have been practicing mapmaking, it is not perfect yet, but there is progress. I'm still far away from Flak's or Chris' skills
Maps will have various seizes and only very little come from GTPG. I will use some Roma Victor! maps, for several (north)africa scenarios.

Hello friends.....Project X could be the greatest Mod for Panzer Corps ever made......Nikivdd and i do what we can...
Only my german units has perhaps greater size than all nations together in the original game.....


Stay tuned people.....will be great......
