Doing MOAR testing, going through German early war prototypes as well (so just when the player can get upgrades to the 25TP with a gun range of 2 fields and show those silly Pz III's, well, trouble :evil ). Also, as I wrote before, self propelled mortars... The PZInz 222 with the 81 mm: https://i.ib...

RoyalBengalTiger

My campaign uses the Gustlik efile as the base for it, if it would help...

RoyalBengalTiger

Follow up...

How do you change which movement methods have transports and which don't in an efile?

I still have this problem here with amphibious tracked.

RoyalBengalTiger

So here is one that was really planned...

Which means: Other than that there was ...

RoyalBengalTiger

Update...

Adding unit names that I missed during the initial setup of scenarios.

This will include proper and correct names of Soviet Black Sea Fleet ships too.

Slowly getting closer to finishing...

RoyalBengalTiger

I found the issue with the PZInz 130 series tanks having transports in the efile.

Amphibius (tracked) movement method has the transport weight buttons active, so it's in the same category as leg or towed.

RoyalBengalTiger

Also adding another customization. Artillery that's not an infantry mortar of over 105-ish mm are going to be single fire support, and all artillery at 200-ish mm or above will be no fire support at all. Exceptions are like Nebelwerfer and some other short barrel field guns that are easily maneuvera...

RoyalBengalTiger

What a wonderful map.

I'm considering rebuilding the third mission to use this map instead of 972 (Pinsk).
It's close enough geographically to make the story work probably.

Cannot guarantee though. I'll have to rethink a whole scenario.

RoyalBengalTiger

Double update.
I'm changing the EFile up so that infantry based units that are not infantry will dismount if attacked.

This applies to machine gun crews, mortars less than 120 mm caliber (setting up the bigger ones under fire would be a pain in the @$$), AT rifles and similar.

RoyalBengalTiger

Running tests, getting close to finishing (but there are lots of little things to fix as always). So I don't want to spoil too much, but in the beginning of the mission the guys on the NE were surrounded, and the player has to push from the W and cap a couple towns to open a corridor. https://i.ibb....

RoyalBengalTiger

Got to the point in the campaign where missions did not exist when I started the playtest, the game loaded mission 1 instead of 18.

But that's OK. Reloaded EFile and campaign.

Let's see how much I missed when originally building the scenarios, and release in maybe 2 weeks or so.

RoyalBengalTiger

Happy 2026 all y'all

RoyalBengalTiger

Small little update. Need to reorganize the Soviet Lend Lease units a bit, they'd go to Poland if the Soviets were never invaded by the Reich - because the Soviets would never be aligned with the Western Allies... These units would be for the most part used by Poland anyways, in the Armed Forces in ...

RoyalBengalTiger

Merry Christmas all y'all!

RoyalBengalTiger

Alright... I added a couple pixels to the 38D's barrel length: https://i.ibb.co/SXyWVh7W/BT071.png Then there's the 2 cm AA Hetzer: https://i.ibb.co/6cytkYkk/BT072-20.png And the 3 cm AA Hetzer: https://i.ibb.co/39BvX56y/BT073-30.png And the 10.5 cm Hetzer: https://i.ibb.co/gbVW6cYB/BT074-105.png An...

So here goes nothing... Showcase of 14TP armored guns. Previously existing 75 mm L/50 wz. 36: https://i.ibb.co/9kDQDr2C/BT012.png This one will be about late '43 or so. Newly added 75 mm Schneider: https://i.ibb.co/yF79bgQ6/BT068.png First version to be built of this series, probably 1942. ...And 10...

RoyalBengalTiger

So I'll have a weekend project then. Also I was going to make an icon for the Jagdtiger with the L/66 gun (the original was L/55 and the 66 caliber gun was in plans). I looked at the project on tanks encyclopedia and wow, that was mad science that goes beyond the mad science I normally do. https://t...

RoyalBengalTiger

Found it. And yeah, those are what I was looking for, fits pretty good.
Did not know which efile was yours till I looked it up in the database.

And yeah I have a custom icons file for the mod. I mean there's 60+ new things in there.

RoyalBengalTiger

Where do I find these?

RoyalBengalTiger

I guess I never saw civilian engineers... Language issue. Of course you saw them, they're the guys who make holes in the roads you need to drive to work... :lol Let's call them "civilian building teams". In WWII there were in several countries (also) using mostly unarmed building crews in...

RoyalBengalTiger

Gaaaah! Need to make this one too... https://imgs.search.brave.com/8g_C4E3X6wM_YBOSphgrbk557-d1FbPom1EBMR485ss/rs:fit:860:0:0:0/g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cu/dGFua3MtZW5jeWNs/b3BlZGlhLmNvbS93/cC1jb250ZW50L3Vw/bG9hZHMvMjAxNi8w/Ni8xNWNtLXNpZzMz/LWF1Zi1qYWdkcGFu/emVyLTM4dC1zcGct/cHJvdG90eXBlLWJl/cmdlcGFuemVyL...

RoyalBengalTiger

Alright, spoiler time. No icon yet, but I will be making one. The Panther had a project where the long 8.8 was to be mounted in the Schmalturm turret. Here is what Tanks Encyclopedia has to say: https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/panther-8-8cm/ In short - it would not work with the normal Schmalturm. Th...

RoyalBengalTiger

I guess I never saw civilian engineers...

I'll give it a try soon. I'll modify the civilians or the partisans with the tools and see how it goes.

RoyalBengalTiger

It's just soooooo many things to do in order to get it right. I can relate to that! There's so much to do and when you are finished you want to edit/change/create more :lol Keep it up :cool Yeah, I needed to redo Romania (Maresal variants, their medium tank, etc) and now I came to the part of the c...

RoyalBengalTiger

Send an example of these "standard engineers".
I might be good enough at icons to try make an infantry unit finally.

RoyalBengalTiger

So I'm just a couple missions short from everything being playable. Then I'll do a second run, fix up some storyline text (brief, debrief, unitpedia), and it's off for release. This one will have some really fun surprises I hope. The initial change in history will trigger an avalanche of events. Non...

RoyalBengalTiger

Is it just me, or does it double as recon movement when used, let's say, the right way? I don't think the tank that does overrunning loses any mobility points. I do think this should be the case though. It would be that mobility and not ammo capacity would limit how many overruns are theoretically p...

RoyalBengalTiger

Map 367 depicting Wieluń. Might make a new map when I'm doing the finishing work. For now I'm still in the first test run... Don't want to use the ugly solution of course. :) I'm asking because here's a quote from the wikipedia article about the town: Rail connection links Wieluń to Poznań and Katow...

RoyalBengalTiger

Greetings all,

I have one map where the choo choo has no tracks drawn.
Is there a way to get the game to draw tracks on the map?

I know one can add an airfield overlay onto the map, is there something similar to draw trackage over the map without having to edit the actual map file?

RoyalBengalTiger

I thought I was long done with adding units, but here is a real one I missed: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fb/Sok%C3%B3%C5%82_1000_z_CKM_przeciwlotniczym.jpg/960px-Sok%C3%B3%C5%82_1000_z_CKM_przeciwlotniczym.jpg?20170609104312 That's a 7.92 mm ckm wz. 30 in an AA mount on a...

It's been a bit, but I am doing fine. I am doing fine finding bugs... https://i.ibb.co/JWYtsbY9/image1.png and I am doing fine fixing them too. https://i.ibb.co/994FWks2/image2.png Release soonish. Most missions are mostly ready, except I want to re-write some of the brief/debrief texts and maybe ad...

RoyalBengalTiger

With the push for folks moving to Linux, I think the players are out there.
And the modders too, one of the big selling points of Linux is the ways it can be customized.

Once I figure it out, I will post a tutorial, unless someone beats me to it.

So what do we need to do to get an extra zero to this count?

RoyalBengalTiger

Wow Bocelli and Queen.

Cool, thanks!

RoyalBengalTiger

Greetings all!

Is there something wrong with my avatar submission?
Or does this just take really long?

RoyalBengalTiger

Update - I have some maps that need fixing of road and rail layers...

Here is an example (not saying where in the world this is of course):

As such, I'm mostly quiet here, but the project is going forward rather fast.

RoyalBengalTiger

It seems like only selected avatars can be used, I did not find the function to submit my own (and I have a fun one I'd use, so if it's there, please point to it). And yeah, that's going to be the theme. I am also reducing the size of the core a bit, because every battle in 1939 and 1940 is a s***sh...

RoyalBengalTiger

Ah - follow up...

What do all y'all think of scenarios with heavy losses on both sides?
Is this a good reason to have a bunch of non-core units to be the first wave?

RoyalBengalTiger

Well, the way I'm building the Poland campaign right now is with the core starting at maybe 15 units, and that will probably grow to like 30-40 towards the end. The battles are about 120-130 units per side though. The idea is to have lots of filler units - infantry (sometimes regular, sometimes rese...

RoyalBengalTiger

Greetings all!

When playing a campaign is it better to have....

Small core (say 20% of the total of units on the front)
Large core (say 80%)
No core at all, only scenario units
No scenario units at all, full reliance on the core?

Just looking for opinions.

One more small update, before getting a bigger one hopefully. Pixel editing is a female dog, but I think it will be worth it. I declare that I am done with that, and I'm making units for 11 new icons right now too. I think I'll still add an icon here or there when I run into something over the cours...

RoyalBengalTiger

Small update. I'm editing pixels on the icons to make them look better. When shrinking the individual views of the 3D model there were some areas where the vehicle's edges blended with the background, giving a color that is a mix of whatever it should be with the peachy background - which then shows...

RoyalBengalTiger

Yeah, and then Hulk Hogan days later.

Not a good time for celebrities.
