The short version's just about perfect, thanks.

FYI: This file wasn't playing right in my mod in the beginning and I've wondered why. Then I've noticed, that there are actually two folders containing the audio files. A SOUND folder for the UI files and a SOUNDS folder for the effect files...

Changing, not directly, but I've added some new sound effects, for example for the railwaygun and motorcycles. Works okay.

Plays flawlessly now (middle difficulty). It may look a bit "cramped" with all them many prim. and sec. objectives, though...

Just kidding, it's fun when the objectives actually mean something and you don't "have to" but "want to" achieve them.

The only "bug" I've found was a missing text in one of the popups, everything else worked (on the winning side):

I've chosen to play with the preset core force, and that may have been the only serious "flaw" I've noticed in the whole scen IMO

Three recon vehicles, the M8 HMC and a Stuart tank?

The Priest was nice, but I'd rather have three LongToms and a serious tank instead (well, if you can call a Sherman that)...

Thanks, it was fun.

Thanks for the good feedback as usual

I’m gonna remove a reconnaissance US unit (reconnaissance units are my favorite units

).
The reward (RP) for the secondary objective "Capture the town of Favara" is temporary.
I will complete the texts (some are still draft).

You're welcome. Played good, blowing up the bridge and using the enemy artillery as cover was a great idea. There aren't many scens that use arty very well.
On the other hand it was mainly due to the lack of an air force. I always take priority in destroying arty positions first, and without any air recon or bombers, that wasn't easy here. Well done!

OoB-WW2 Soviet Mod(1.02); Battle of the Dnieper(1.01), middle difficulty

- The gameplay's okay. Not very hard, good for casual players. Enough cash in the bank, too.
- You could even remove one or two of my T-34. Or add some enemy troops at the beginning. Almost the whole eastern part is completely undefended.
- Recheck the KV-85 popup: It says it gives me 7CP and some RP but I'll get the unit spawned instead (?).
- Both sec. objectives did not check complete. Unusual. Such negligence with the objective triggers is very unlike you.

- Missing text and titles in a number of popups. Why? It looks strange and it takes only a minute to write at least some placeholder text.

Code: Select all

event_trigger_22_37_title = event_trigger_22_37_title
event_trigger_22_37_text = event_trigger_22_37_text
event_trigger_7_12_title = event_trigger_7_12_title
event_trigger_7_12_text = event_trigger_7_12_text
event_trigger_9_20_title = event_trigger_9_15_title
event_trigger_9_20_text = event_trigger_9_15_text
event_trigger_8_10_title = event_trigger_8_10_title
event_trigger_8_10_text = event_trigger_8_10_text

- suggestion: Do the same as in the Agrigento scen and leave a few CP left for the player to buy at least 1-2 units on his own (even with an preplaced core force)
- suggestion: Add some text to the sec. "capture raft" objective indicating the spawn of supply ships when taken. I've lost almost two supply ships to the StuKa because they spawned at the wrong moment and without any AA and my fighters being repaired...
- suggestion: Add more supply to the enemy cities on the eastern bank ("Raft position", Lubny, etc..). Those German tanks need mucho of it and they went into under-supply real fast after I've capured one of those towns already.

Terminator knows that the KV-2 had a gun-elevation of only 24°, so basically useless in arty-role.

These KV-2 have really been heavily abused in campaigns as kind of boss monster so far, although they almost vanished after 1941. There were only 310 produced with much lower number running at all.

Then why did he post the specific request in my mod thread?

I'm no unit expert and depend on info from you guys.

And if you've ever wondered if the AI can utilise the switch ability of new units: yes, it can.

I think AI preferentially switches to the artillery version to attack remotely ?

We could also use switchable versions on the German side for the mobile units AA but I think to do this at the end.

OoB-WW2 Soviet Mod(1.03), Kishinev(1.01) - "Operation München(1.01)", lvl3

Cool. Everything worked and I do not have any meaningful suggestions for this one, actually.

It played good as stand-alone scen. The Romanians could use a bit more RP at the beginning maybe, but it was not really needed.

Still, please add some text and pics for both the events!
You remember that you can use some of the internal pics, right?

"free" event images

Thanks for the good feedback

4 remarks about Kishinev :

- 1. You have arrived to encircle 5 soviet units. I don't know if it is possible to do something against that, maybe looking at the AI or placement ?
- 2. The soviet units around Kishinev seem to run out of supply, maybe increase the supply ?
- 3. The game seems a little too short or too easy ?
- 4. It just takes a little time to find the right images

1) I woudn't change the deployment. In the beginning they serve as a formidable blocking force, later on, when my units are battle weary, I chose to encircle them rather than facing them head on. It's okay to have some units that can be encircled. And it did not come cheap. Again good use of arty units here.

2) I woudn't change anything here either. The undersupply happened in the last stages of the battle, it was expected to be like this.

3) You could add some garrisons in EVERY town with supply, even the north/eastern ones. That would make the scen a little longer and a bit more difficult. On the other hand, 25 turns should be enough for everyone as it is.
But please don't forget that I've played on middle difficulty and that I'm not your usual "casual" player. The difficulty's okay - not particularly hard and you can even make some errors (and lose some aux. units) without having to restart the whole scen. Exactly as it should be - not every scen has to be a difficult "puzzle" to solve.

4) Use one placeholder pic until then - come on, you're really good with pics. And even some text saying "you completed the ... objective" would be better than nothing. You've put a lot of work into the scens to make them playable - therefore it should look okay, too. You know how people are, often judging by the cover.

...

About remark n°1 :
I took a quick look at it.
First, it is not normal to have surrounded all these 4 Russian cavalries and second, it is even less normal to have a retrenched cavalry.
I think I have found an explanation. I have increased the movement points(mp) of the Russian cavalry '42 for Operation Saturn and also for the Romanian cavalry '37-41 for this scenario: 6 mp -> 8 mp ; but I forgot to increase the movement points for the Russian Cavalry '37-41 for this scenario
