It seems that you have an older version of the first scenario. Try to download the campaign folder in the first post of this thread. It contains 6 scenarios.

Played , you are definitely making progress ) A little surprised by the weather September - October suddenly snow and summer again ) I did not understand the following mission, those troops that are not possible to contain the German hordes ,,,,, where it is necessary to retreat from the German offensive.....
Thanks for testing this campaign ^^

For the weather, the 39 winter was really cold here. The probablility of rain and snow increase during the campaign, and i've set up a frozen ground at the start of the last scenario. Was this a problem while playing ?

For the retreat facing the german, as i want to keep the campaign a bit historical, i find it better to not maintain a presence in Saarbrucken at the final. But you found the defence too easy, or it's a "never reatreat" mind you have ? ;-)

And how do you feel this campaign ? Too hard/easy, boring/fun scenarios ? What could i improve for the next ones ?

- For aux/core unit for the AI, i was wondering if the AI will use them diferently, or just the same (trying to protect core, repairing them, ...).
- I must do something wrong for deployement. I have slots for my core, and i can buy them in the first turn, but i can't buy/deploy them before the first turn, any idea ?
- Thanks for the link. I'll try to work on some new unit for the french. This also leads me to another question. Not many nation have differents standard infantry, is there a specific reason ? One esy thing to do for the french is to represent their infantry diversity, with north african infantry and fortress infantry for exemple.
- Thanks again. This leads me to another (! ;-) )question: If i have changed multiple files for my scenarios, is there a specific way to create a "bundle" i can easily share ?

I go back to the editor, waiting for new comments ^^

PS: maybe just a last question, based on your experience. As i'm planning to work on a grand campaign, do you advice me to work first on something (equip file for exemple) special, or just to walk through the project, ?
In addition to the answers Nikivdd gave you, the deployment phase is not available in the first scenario of a campaign but only in the subsequent scenarios. So you would need a working campaign of at least 2 scenarios. All units in the 1st scenario must be placed using the editor; then you would have a deployment phase (for all the core units from Scenario #1) at the start of Scenario #2.
On that note, perhaps there could be a kind of "preamble" scenario, in which the player purchases units and puts them on the map, or maybe beats up some dummy targets to represent mobilization and some scratch training before being deployed?

The campaign's been a joy so far, but the Forest is a hell of a way to start it, especially with the low unit cap, lack of prestige, time constraints, and the like. That makes a really nice challenge, but the fact that we have to spend a turn using only Auxilliaries while our core units get deployed to the field is a pain.

Still, my regards! It's great to see the French and early Western Front get some love.

what is the deal with the 3rd scenario?

Why can you only deploy 1 unit?

Hey there.

Some real life trouble and a lot of procrastination, but i'm back with the idea to continue working on this project. So feel free to retest the scenarios and talk about them.

The "to do list" for now is to make the 3rd and 4th scenario better, then to move on another part.

C u soon !

I know it's more than 2 years too late, but i don't have any problem during deployment. Could you give me the name of the scenario ?

from my notes it appears it is the 3rd scenario

Ok, i've found the problem, i should be able to solve this quickly. I'm re playing my scenarios, and i'm not very happy with two of them (Sigfried West and Saarbrucken 2). I'll probably try to change them. Sigfried West need to be more simple i think, and Saarbrucken 2 is far from realistic and should probably be reworked from scratch.

I'm working at the moment on a Namsos scenario, first of some action in Norway. Though i don't know how to make deployment hexes on the sea, i'm never able to deploy my core unit, someone has an idea on how to do this ?

It's the same as land deployment hexes. Just place either one of these on an ocean hex (gray=Axis & green=Allies)

FYI: deployment hexes don't appear in the first scenario of a campaign.

Thanks

I think the problem is that i try the scenario as a standalone, not as part of a campaign. It seems that i have no deployment phase then.

Is there a guide guide on AI behavior ?

I'm struggling in my Namsos scenario to make the german fighting correctly.
