Galland is MIA

[Korvessa]

Starting Ebro & have more than enough CP
But Galland did not show up at start of the scenario, nor was I given the option to spend CP to get him.
What is the trick?
Or is there a delay?

Didn´t you misclick? I would advise to restart the scenario then the window should appear.

Load your last turn in the last scenario, then enter it again.

I have tried that a couple of times - no joy.
What I am wondering is if there was some prerequisite I missed.
I have not purchased all of the stuff you can buy with commendations points.
Is one of them required to get Galland?

[Grondel]

just checked the lua, u need 10 CP for galland thats it. nothing special required.

hi,
i have the same issue, i started a new run through the DLCs and got to 1940 before i noticed that i did not have Galland. i started again and this time i checked each stage . Galland was Not activated at Elbro i had no issue with points and now wonder if there is an issue with the last update? i have after retrying several times started 1939 with an older core from SCW which has Galland.

An option to fix this somewhat in a new scenario (mind that I do not know if will affect any achievements, for example on Steam) is to do the following:

1. Go to \Panzer Corps 2\PanzerCorps2\Content\Campaigns\ and the folder location for the next DLC and mission you will be playing.
2. Using Notepad++, open the lua file in that folder for that next mission (so can be for example Catalonia, or Ebro if you want to restart it and this problem still persists).
3. Scroll down to the end of the file.
4. Add:

Code: Select all

--Heroes script1

function OnStartGame()
	local hero = NewHero()
	hero.portrait = "/Game/Gui/Common/Heroes/DE_AF_galland.DE_AF_galland"
	hero.name = NSLOCTEXT("scenario_BattleoftheEbro", "Adolf_Galland", "Adolf Galland")
	hero.extra_traits = {UnitTrait.Legendary, UnitTrait.AimingAssistance, UnitTrait.Leadership}
	hero.modifiers = {{type = Initiative, mod = 2}}
	hero.attack_modifiers = {{type = TargetType.Air, mod = 2}}
	hero.unit_classes = {UnitClass.Fighter, UnitClass.TacticalBomber}
	local action = world:MakeNewHeroAction(0, hero)
	world:Exec(action)
end

5. Save and start that scenario.

Galland should appear, bu do mind I'm not sure if he will properly work with his script in Cerberus.

Yikes.
If it takes that, sounds like there is a bug.

I started campaign over (no cheating this time*) to see if that fixes it

* = I sometimes gave myself other random leaders

I also played the DLC these days and I did get galland.
Doesnt matter how many cp you have, maybe you have to do the prestige drop? Just a guess.

I did the prestige drop
As I recall, the only thing I did not do was but the cache of T36 - I had plenty already

Not really a proof of this being a bug, I just listed the way to add him artificially in a scenario to overcome that if it does happen and all else fails.

[Korvessa]

Oops.

I was relying on a campaign tree that can be found here on Slitherine.
It had the campaign going straight from Teruel to Ebro.
Well it turns out there is a scenario in between: Aragon Offensive

I guess I wasn't paying enough attention.
