Hello everyone,

I've noticed something while playing Typhoon scenario. Siberian Infantry has initiative of 8. I do realize that historically infantry men from Siberia were always excellent fighters with very high moral, but this initiative value seems a bit high. For example Brandenburg infantry has an initiative value of 5, and that was a special forces regiment.

If this was done just for purpose of making the scenario more realistic, then ok. High initiative value could be there to represent their high moral and determination to defend Moscow? Or maybe it could represent their ability to fight in sub zero temperatures and heavy snow, as they are ski troops from Siberia? Historically, fresh reinforcements from Siberia did put and end to all German hopes of capturing Moscow, as their counteroffensive smashed already weakened Germans and pushed back front line away from Moscow.

I think it may be the case. I wonder if there's a workaround. It would a pity these games can't be played in mp outside of hotseat.

Any work around? Thank you!
When I wrote this script, I had no idea that the maximum size of a scenario to play online is 9Mb. WatW 1941-45 is over 30Mb. If only I knew... It can only be played hot seat.

Out of pure curiosity, how do you like the reality of this scenario and the map itself?

I'm the one he's playing against, and we ultimately decided to just save the turn right before we would pass it, send it over to the other guy, and have him press next turn so he gets the event notifications. As far as the scenario and map goes, holy crap is this ridiculously big. Frankly I wish Panzer Corps could zoom out more, because as the Allied player I'm operating in basically every corner of this massive map. I've barely touched the first turn and I'm already drowning lol. It does seem like it'll be fun though.

And that was my idea for the scenario. Unfortunately, there are few players like you, so it's hard for me to improve it. I thought I would play with my son, but he prefers netflix and mobile :/

It definitely takes a certain type of person! We'll make sure to let you know if/when we have any feedback.

Hi! Speaking of which, do you have any house rule you'd suggest to make the game better in terms of realism?
For now we set down the following rules:

- No paratroopers landing or taking off in bad weather and they can reach a maximum distance of 20 hexes from the furthest airfield

- Countries such as Bulgaria can't join the eastern front unless two objectives between Moscow, Leningrad and Stalingrad have been secured by Germans

Anything else?

1. about paratroopers it is a good point but I'm not a right man to fix it, I only create a scenario
2. Bulgaria is done, if AXIS will take Moscow ect then BUL will join AXIS, if Allies are near BUL border then BUL switch to Allies - scenario World at War 1941-45

btw I completely forgot that Bulgaria was not involved in the attack on the Soviets, but I remembered that there were skirmishes in the Black Sea. Thank you

One minor thing I just noticed today: There's a Polish destroyer with a movement rating of 40 currently in the game, meaning that it can essentially teleport across entire oceans in a single turn. What was that supposed to be?

Originally, this scenario had its own file that changed game settings. Nautical distances for naval ships and ships (converted from speed per hour to hexes per week), the price of the T-34 depending on the model, range of naval guns, etc.

AJS81 Poland scenario
[/quote]

1. Polish Units are right now in the correct positions according to Ordre de Bataille 1st September 1939
2. there is hex change 26,9 Westerplatte
3. bug fix with the Kavallerie movie
4. Army of Pomerania (polish Armia Pomorze moved to Warsaw after turn 2)
5. Army of Posen (polish Armia Poznan moved to Warsaw after turn 3)
6. there is a change of info when German troops enter Danzig --> There is no longer a Polish presence in Danzig
(old info Danizg surrender). Gdańsk (Danzig was not in Polish hands, it was a Free City, and only the Polish Post Office was a place where Poles defended themselves). By the way, it's a pity that we don't have the flag of the Free City of Danzig
7. Polish ships ORP Gryf and ORP Wicher have no fuel (in Polish plans they were too old to move and their only task was to shell ships approaching the Hel Peninsula)

[/quote]

Hi AJS81,

Sorry for the late reaction. I have a nasty problem. I reworked the Poland scenario for the next update even before you made your new one. If I just put in your Poland scenario all my changes are lost (I do not know all the changes anymore). So I will kindly request to wait until update v2.10 will come out (soon) and make your changes again (sorry) in the Poland v2.10 version.

Greetings PHCAS

Sorry for the mistake, my post from two days ago had the wrong file :( Now it's ok

World at War scenario has been updated, link --> https://www.mediafire.com/file/semhveb5 ... r.rar/file

- added several cities, descriptions of the Hürtgen Forest, Channel Islands, rivers, etc.
- update of Italian land, air, and submarine units
- update of Finnish units
- Bulgaria is in the Axis but doesn't fight unless the Axis wins or the Soviets get close to their borders
- New Zealand aviation, RAF, Australian aviation update
- added an event with the possibility of transferring German units through Sweden
- update of German units in France
- price changes for Soviet T-34 tanks, T-34\43 version is 2x cheaper than T-34\40

And most importantly, for those who want to play this scenario with friends, update the equipment file (it's in the Data folder)
1280 planes got a fuel supply according to Wikipedia calculated to the size of the map, i.e. an aircraft's range of 600km means that it will fly 30 hexes. Planes that can fly more than 1400km have been limited to 70hex per turn - the game engine doesn't work well for longer distances.
Similarly, each warship has an increased range. 50-35 hexes, submarines 20-4 hexes. In the case of warships, there is no realism because a turn is a week, the marching speed is 12 knots (22km / h) which means a distance of 184 hexes per turn. Here again, there is a problem with the game engine.
Additionally, artillery fires max 2 hexes, AA guns 1 hex, and ships 2 hexes (except Iowa, Bismarck, and Yamato).
Italian ships have limits on the amount of oil, as do German ships. British and American battleships have a longer view range of up to 100km = 5 hex.

Please be careful with replacing the equipment file!!!!
This version is only for those who want to play this scenario. I advise you to make a copy of the original version and hide it well somewhere ;)

If you have any suggestions, questions, or problems, feel free to write.
This scenario is for hotseat players only

I am unable to launch this Mod. I have carefully followed the installation instructions, and used JSGME to enable the game. The launch screen for Pak Mod appears, but when I click on the Play button I get the following error message:

CRC check failed. Please try to reinstall the game.

At the same time there are the first few seconds of Winston Churchill making a speech, before everything stops.

I have reinstalled the game, not once, but twice. And still I get the same error message. Can anyone help me with this problem please?
