Italian Campaign 2.0 (v.1.99b on 31st of May, 2023.)

[Uhu]

Do you use the Steam version?
I'm not, so I just copy all the files on a raw 1.30 version of the original game.
If there are other versions, the question is, how the file structure were changed.
I also use the 1.31 version of the Panzercorps.exe

You see it on the main screen with v1.99 nummering

no...because of whatever update they did ...the Gold version...most front screens do not show up...I would ask McGuba what e did or Locarnus what he did so it showsup as the first screen because as of today what comes up is the generic Panzer Corps screen

Hi.
Unfortunately Dropbox doesn't work for me...
Would it be possible to make it available for download somewhere else?

[Uhu]

Sure, can you name one of it? I would gladly upload there (it it is free).
I'm sad, if Dropbox is not anymore so accessible as earlier was.

Bonguorno Generales,
Here is the list of updates for v1.99!

[...]
- Italian L6/40 light tank moved to recon units for a better purpose
[...]

Funny conincidence, I also tried to make the L6 more useful in the coming patch, using reconmove while in tank class and switch to recon class for more defense values, but less rate of fire.
Recon class without modded exp.pzdat has pretty bad modifiers. As a start, I will probably use a flat bonus for ground units in the next patch. But perhaps the recon class could use some extra defensive boni from experience, both ground defense and close defense. That would make the rather squishy units much less vulnerable in the late war.

Yeah, they really "botched" that "Gold version only" transition in early 2020. It is a mess and I also tripped over that more than once, in various places...

The same background image needs to be twice in the UI\startscreen folder, with different filenames (menu_wide_bg.jpg and menu_wide_bg_gold.jpg, your 1.99 version only has the former). One for the people that got conned during the early 2020 transition and one for the people who do not suffer from that issue. Same exact thing happened to me as well in recent addon patches, until I had both in the last version...

Sometimes dropbox does not work nice with some browser addons, even if it just obscures the "Download" field in the top left ("Herunterladen").
One possible workaround is, to copy and paste the link into a vanilla browser without installed addons (eg "Internet Explorer" or "Edge")

Thanks for the advices Locarnus! So, the only difference is with the main title picture?

[Uhu]

I uploaded it to an alternate site. It is valid for 30 days.

Hi, Uhu

It appears that dropbox link is broken after re-upload (atleast it says "item was deleted" for me). Easyupload link is fine and shine though

The main "issue" (scam) is, that some people can not access their bought and paid for DLCs without "workarounds" (eg Afrika Korps, Allied Corps and the Soviet campaign is not even visible)...
When clicking on those icons, they are prompted to rebuy the DLC they already paid for.

There is probably more, but I'm not actively searching for it.

[Uhu]

Thank you for the reminder! I just uploaded the fixed version, which action took for an eternity. But now it is there and downloadable.

Thanks for the update Uhu With the sun shining, I'm not sure when I'll have a look at it, but your work is much appreciated!

You see it on the main screen with v1.99 nummering
Also you can see a different BR-20 bomber icon already in the first scn, as the Lancia 3RO for the arty is different as earlier.

can you post a picture of what you are talking about so I can be sure?
Thanks

[Uhu]

It is little complicated to post here, as I cannot make it working in the forum drive. I will send it per mail to you!
By the way, I uploaded the fixed version yesterday night - you shall downloat it, if you did just download the earlier version yesterday.

Hi. Thank you very much, but unfortunately "Easyupload" doesn't work for me either.
At "Mediafire" it has always worked well there.
I am sorry for the circumstances.

[Uhu]

I hope this helps.

Oh great, thank you very much. That worked wonderfully, thank you again.

Hi Uhu,
Thank you for a great mod, I've played one of the earlier versions years back, it was fun and latest version is also great. I have one question, why are there no Bersaglieri and engineer infantry available for purchase and upgrade?
Currently playing Bessarabia scenario and best infantry you can get are Alpini. I have one unit of motorized Bersaglieri but that was a gift unit from earlier scenario.

[Uhu]

Hi and thank you for your compliments! I'm happy, you like it!
It is intentional: based from the fact that Bersaglieres were elite and rare infantry, I wanted to represent that in the game. I thought also the same with assault engineers. Also, I found out that 2 motorised Alpini and 1 Bersaglieri are enough as inf for a successful run of the campaign, so I did not want to overpower it. I understand, that it would bring more diversity, but the above mentionet points had the priority. I also did not want to have the same characteristic units as we would play with the Germans.
So, about these are my arguments.

Ahhh, I remember this Bersaglieri conversation a while ago.

Must admit, lack of "serious" infantry makes life a bit more complicated. But it falls in line with limited equipment access in general - 90mm AA guns, heavy artillery and so forth.

[Uhu]

Yes, I made some importance to not create another German campaign - dressed in Italian skin.

Please tell me that I can still create or use my Folgore Division? I loved the book I read about their creation and their unfortunate use, or lack of use.
