I just looked into it, it seems the Rangers were police in more isolated communities as the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary only had around 170 officers spread throughout Newfoundland. It is up to you, both fit, but recon and scouting possibly with mountain movement would work best I think, I don't...

I was still relatively new into map making when i made the St. John's map. Nowadays i would make it bigger and more beautiful :lol Constabulary is added :yes Do you think the Rangers are more like fast light infantry with mountain movement or should they be in recon class and used for scouting? Whe...

Back in the day i made 4 Canada maps and St. Johns was one of them. You know that it was an important allied port in the Atlantic and Convoy Battles, so i thought it would be nice to have that map. Though i never used it myself yet. I added Newfoundland and Turkestan to the efile and also some basi...

So i will add militia and regular infantry for the Newfoundland regiment as well as the artillery. Also some basic trucks for transport and bridging infantry. Bridging infantry maybe is needed to cross rivers and things like that. I guess the infantry would also have some MG, so i will add it as we...

also, I wonder if two nations should be created with the same units? up to you:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Eas ... n_Republic

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Ea ... n_Republic

both have slightly different flags, the second republic was a puppet state of the soviet union.

I checked your efile, the amount of nations is pretty impressive! yours definitely is the best, there is even axis Russia :D Dominion of Newfoundland wouldn't be too big, you could use Canadian/British unit models, Newfoundland had a milita, and artillery regiments, and not really much else in WW2. ...

I'll give it a try on your efile I think if that is ok!

How do I create a new nation? And I created a few scenario's before so that shouldn't be hard!

Thank you!!!

I think I'll give it a try, maybe on a different efile though as I'd like to share with other players, any efiles you would personally recommend?

Any advice on how to get started?

Thank you btw!!

I just checked, Persia is already in as a nation.

I think OLGWW2 is best as it seems to have the most nations for WW2. Nations Afghanistan (old flag with green at bottom), first East Turkestan Republic, Iran/Persia, and Dominion of Newfoundland (this one for a separate campaign). the battles/conflicts are all around 1934. https://en.wikipedia.org/w...

Wanted to create two new campaigns, the nations however are not in the game, am I able to add them?

Anyone know where the hidden hex is in the second map? (homeland of Punjab or something like that) played twice cant seem to find it at all.

By the way, it is not included in the manuel/readme, what are support units for? The trucks.

Also if the game and or patch does not work, it could be where you downloaded the game from, I downloaded from: https://panzergeneraldownload.com/peoples-general.html And a lot of files were missing, the game didn't work and when I started a scenario or campaign the map wouldn't appear and instead w...

First at all, does anthing work for you now ? HERE YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE MANUAL: https://www.peoplesgeneral.de/9.html THIS WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. Yes it works now, I downloaded the complete game from the site you sent me, along with the patch, turns out the reason it didn't work was because a l...

Just started Chinese campaign, wondering what these do:

Combat Engineer (I imagine this is similar to Panzer General 2, blowing up bridges, laying mines etc)
Combat Support
Forward Observer
Special Munitions

It works now! Thank you both! What I did after hours of trying different settings etc, I went to your site and downloaded the full game and ddraw patch from there and tried that, it worked, no issues whatsoever. I could tell that the game files from your site were complete, I noticed a lot of files ...

I got it working, deleted the patch and ran it in compatibility mode for windows 98, worked fine, no black screen, can move units etc. Only problem now is how slow it is, the mouse is fine but the units move slowly and fire slow, anyway to fix this? Is there another patch?

I downloaded Herby's patch from that site, and replaced it with mine, it still doesn't work though unfortunately, the first link wouldn't download because it said the link was malicious, don't know if that's my antivirus overreacting or not, the second I did, but I'm pretty sure it is the same patch...

Okay I will try one of these ideas, thank you

Hello friend

I am on Windows 11, if what you mean by mod is the patch, both I downloaded from here!

thanks for answering

Is there a way to get all the People's General's campaigns in the one in Open General? Like the Chinese campaign and railroaded etc. I download People's General but keeps crashing and the maps are always black. Open General works fine so it would be a godsend if I could play the campaigns on Open Ge...

So after downloading the game I tried playing, when I started a campaign the screen would remain black, the message and date/turn info would remain on the screen, and two or three units appeared but the screen remained black, so I downloaded the high resolution patch, now when I start a scenario or ...

It worked! Thank you!

Hello, I just installed Open General after a few years of not playing, (new comp also) the units seem blurry however, anyway to fix this?
