IMO it is hard to say what is the best solution. I guess there's no right or wrong

Welcome back

Can you only have one healer unit at a time, because two times now I have bought a second one and it won't heal units :huh The healer ability has to be set (number of sp healed/turn) by the designer when the healer unit is first deployed in a scenario. So healer units can never be bought by the pla...

Great job so far

Very inspiring idea for a campaign!
I can only guess how many powerpoint pages you need to draw the German-Soviet War and all the historical and fictional scenarios around it.
Keep it up

And please keep us updated!

You guys motivated me to move the board games aside and look into Crusader again. :bow The log files pointed me in the direction of the solution; :bonk The units that did not want to move still had their entrenchment values from the Crusader scenario in Mussolini's Afrika Korps that I used as a sta...

Wow, that's quite an large undertaking. And a very interesting one

Keep us updated!

Just curious and to break the forum silence :lol Is anybody working on campaigns right now? Third Reich is still in the works. I needed a break when the AI did not want to cooperate in Operation Crusader a few months ago. Hopefully I find the energy - and maybe some more inspirational books when vi...

So who's looking forward to play on this map? At least there are some roads, right? Roads you can target with artillery

(Still need some time to finish the Brest maps.)

Congrats on being an uncle! Now you just have to wait some years before introducing your nephew to OG. I remember playing videogames at around 7 years of age, so...

And best wishes to you and your mum!

Just curious and to break the forum silence

Is anybody working on campaigns right now?

Here's another update of the Barbarossa campaign path. The campaign will start with two scenarios around Brest and there will also be a new Voronezh map and scenario. With 36 scenarios the campaign path should be pretty much final for now ;) The campaign will start with a choice screen and the playe...

And now on to the new battles against Japan!

Since nobody posted any more suggestions, I'll post the solutions. Let's see which ones we got right and which ones we missed. Seems there are only 70 bands though. (Spoiler codes do not work (to hide the pictures) or I don't know the correct command) Damn cake - it was too easy :lol And I thought T...

Race to Brunswick At HQ I tweaked attachments and upgraded one SPAT and the last fighter. Nothing special to report here. I just speeded to the south with all units. I'll take a break from playing now until the next map is finished. OpenGen 25.09.06.0 * 6 Sep 2025 * AI version: 2.00 (2014) Efile fol...

The forum is super slow again these days.

Can't all sub-foums be hidden and only visible for logged-in users?
There should only be one newly created "welcome/public forum" forum visible for guests/bots/etc.
At least we should try if this makes things better

I think the hints are very direct. Otherwise there would be hundreds of possible matches. For example the zombie could then be The Cranbarries, The Zombies, The Hooters and many more. We will see at the end which ones we got right and which ones not. There are some pictures floating around, showing ...

56. Below the pet shop boys it looks like a very small dog so I launched a "Chihuahua band" search and there was a French band with that name: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chihuahua_(groupe) I will add it to the list. We have the small dog as Skinny Puppy already. Hehe yes, I also launch...

Why you care about AI purchase? The scenario is perfect, you have done so many things. Leave it as it is (IMHO). :yes I will leave it as is :cool I just added 5 units, two tanks and a recon and a fighter and bomber, all as reinforcements around turn 10. It will not change the scenario. I just hope ...

Petersburg Tank Battle At HQ I upgrade another tank and fighter. I need to upgrade three more tanks, one fighter and at least two SPATs. I don't think I can do this until the end of the campaign. The AI again bought mostly flame tanks and also some range-2 infantry support tanks and SPATY. I will a...

The scissors left of the Smashing Pumpkins have already been indentified as Scissor Sisters, but I can add the Pink Flamingos and als Crimson King to the list. We'll see later what is right and what is wrong.

Nice

I always wondered which band they represent in the picture.

We had Black Flag before so my number 49. will be the guys with the surf boards. The Beach Boys or Nada Surf? Or something else? I'll go with

49. The Beach Boys

I guess the diamond is

48. Jewel

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? Unfortunately it...

- A branch in a single-track railway line, allowing oncoming trains to pass each other, as well as a stopping point at the branch. --> this is a translation from Russian A railway siding, on the other hand, is a track or group of tracks connecting a place where goods are transhipped or where railwa...

:howdy It's a very nice, beautifully described map. I asked because the word "balka" doesn't mean anything when translated from English into Polish. Only after asking what balka means in Russian (in simple terms) did I get the meanings: ravine, gully (Schlucht, Felsschlucht in German). Yo...

:howdy I always review maps before uploading them to the Polish server. I was intrigued by a section called [107] Balka Neklinskaya, in clear terrain. What is it? https://forum.open-general.com/userfiles/sym_1598_wycinek.jpg Since I did a lot of reasearch and read a detailed book about Operation Wi...

Thank you!

Hehe yes, the name of the designer is wrong

Battle of the Potomac At HQ I upgraded the two fighting recons and one fighter. I love the recons. They are very fast and quite powerful. The player also gets a free 12sp captured Soviet tank unit. This time I built a bridge north of Harpers Ferry and later also south of the city to let my small so...

I am still in awe about the Bee Gees. It's the three posters on the house on the right, right? I would never have seen that :lol ... 37.

Wow, I always wondered what that pup represents

I go with 35. Radiohead

Another map is finished.
I think I never did so much research for one map. I almost read an entire book about Operation Wintergewitter

Name: Kotelnikovo
Location: Russia

Next to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers must be

Please let's do one at a time

I forgot half of the bands but I guess the kissing girls are:

Thank you for the Weltkrieg campaign. You've done a great job! I just don't see the logical transition between the Pearl Harbor and Shanghai scenarios. How could the Germans have ended up in the East China Sea if the entire Pacific Ocean was already under Japanese control? I think it's missing an i...

Yep, all correct

6. Madonna

I'ma start with an easy one.
