It seems the dl contains all stock units - these could be removed, unless they were changed. I had lotsa vanilla stuff in the first USMC dl as well, but got a request to remove the unneeded files since they just blow up the dl. I thought it's generally a good point.

I know these days with fast internet it isn't such a huge prob anymore, but esp. when you have the dl at some filehosters that limit bandwith for *free* dls it could make a difference, and for modders who want to look through the files to see if there's something they could use it can be a tad confusing with all those original files. Just a thought

+1

Good suggestion, thank you for the tip!
It will need some work to do it, but it is logical.

Maybe I would implement it in the briefings, but I don't know the "technology", how to implement pictures in there.

bebro wrote:I think it would be nicer to incorporate the "overview" map (that is when you click the strongpoint) into the briefings instead, but it is a matter of taste rather, and changing it would also mean quite some work, so I fully understand why it's made like this now.

Look how DMP have done with Ostfront.

I've put a short tute here.

Played the second one - Malaga: DV 14/18.

I remembered this vaguely from Nico's IC, but had forgotten about that counter attack. Lost two infantry - fortunately just the weak vanilla, not the Alpini or Bersaglieri. And they were completely green, so no xp loss either

I wondered a bit about the RO57 being available, I thought that came around only later (and IMO should be stronger then). Though maybe I'm missing something, there were lotsa aircraft tested during the SCW. I didn't do any further research on this type....

Thanks for the feedback!
I think, the weather and the (possible) luck of the republican's submarine makes wider circumstances of the challenge of the scenario. Still, it is very useful to make the DV (extra T-26 unit from next scn)!
Hmm, I don't know, in which difficulty you play the demo, but the two core inf loss I would consider a serious loss - SPOILER - I sold one of them later and bought heavy equipment from that prestige, while the other has been upgraded to Alpini (or sold the inf and later bought an another Alpini? I don't remember. ). Well I played on Rommel, where you have absolute minimum prestige, so that's why I asked in which difficulty you play. Maybe on easier level, the prestige is not as big issue as on Rommel.

I looked now for the RO57. Actually I didn't look yet for it - it was in original IC and there are (will be) many better choices of aircraft to use, so... I think, I will take it out, because it has not much role in the game.

Thank you, I will look for it.

Well, as said with the first scn I started in the third difficulty, so quite low. I'll restart anyway when the full campaign is out, right now I'm just playing a bit around.

Sorry, I forget it.

Outrageous!

Nah....no need to be sorry

Started to play the next one - Albania. Found no probs. After the first couple of turns though I think now I should have chosen a higher difficulty indeed, since I have no problem at all replacing stuff.

Well, maybe I'll not take Rommel, but FM or so. At least that's what I'll try when the full campaign is out

But those flame tanks rock

The icon of it has been made by a very talented modder!

Why is it so awefully quiet about this mod right now?

We're getting there. I send the final scenario's to Uhu a few weeks ago, they were tested, then tweaked in the meantime and now under Uhu's re-evaluation and testing.

Good point - well in the last weeks I spent with another tasks my time - there were days I even was disconnected from computers.
But do not fear, the mod will released: only a few scenarios remains to playtest + I need to edit the genial intro of DMP's Afrika Korps - it fits full to IC 2.0 with the all-Italian-content!

Folks, don't give up the hope!
I know, IC 2.0 could have been already released, but I had no opportunity to play/test it much in the last months. Still I don't make any thoughts to give it up, after so many work, so please be a little more patient. It will be released.
Thank you!

Thank you Uhu!
I think AK and the GTPG2-Testing is my prime priority, but i am sure that i will play your campaign, when its finished. The first maps were too nice not to continue the campaign. I want to see, how can i manage the disasters in Afrika and at river Don.
Dont care, i am waiting.
Greets Wild

Good news!!

I playtested the scenarios of the "defender" path (Second El-Alamein, Kasserine, Sicily, Rome), so only two more - the final - scenarios are left. Than I need to find out, how to edit an overlay for the intro video (I never made such thing...) and incorporate the minimaps into the briefings, than making a youtube "trailer" and than it will be ready and released!
