I just realized that there can be different endings to the Barbarossa campaign: BV at Moscow - the campaign ends V at Moscow - The Soviets retreat to Almaty - one more scenario TV at Moscow - players who like to play as much as possible (like me) will have to defend Berlin against the Soviets and th...

My campaign uses the Gustlik efile as the base for it, if it would help... And does the issue appear there too? Sorry, I can not help. I have only like 4 efiles installed at the moment. I am working in my efile and map folders so often, I needed to remove a lot of stuff, so I am able to find the fo...

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.

Judging the picture and testing some things I couldn't find out the problem. Maybe someone else knows the solution?

So here's the definitive campaign path for the first version of the Barbarossa campaign. I might add scenarios later when new maps arise but for now that's it. Especially at the end of the campaign there's still room for additional scenarios. I imagine maybe some enlarged SSI PEG map like Almaty or ...

Every time experience is increased, there is a chance to increase bars (if less than 5) I thought bars increased every hundred is reached. Not a chance but a fact: After a combat your experience goes from the tens to the one hundred get one, from the one hundred to the two hundred get another.. up ...

Recon class units are supposed to be ground units that of course can attack other ground units when it is raining/snowing. Now you have air units (by movement, type, target) in the recon class that of course can attack ground units when the weather is bad - as it should be for recon class units. I g...

Huh? Planes with recon movement perk never had build-in all-weather capabilities.
You mean the recon-class air units you use, right?

Do you plan to use the new Brest map in your campaign? Maybe the map came to late the be incorporated?

These scenarios where the units are spread all over the map are not my preferred ones. I am afraid the remaining scenarios will all be like that. I assumed players would have a big core at this stage of the campaign and just want to play with a large and strong core and utilize its full potential :...

Das hohe Gefechtsgewicht von 57 t machte viele Brücken für den Tiger unpassierbar, weswegen das Fahrzeug anfangs eine Tauchfähigkeit bis 4½ m besaß. Aus diesem Grund waren alle Luken und sonstige Öffnungen mit Gummidichtungen wasserdicht verschließbar. Über dem Motor wurde ein 3 m langer Schnorchel...

Im neuesten Video vom Panzermuseum, in dem es um das Drehbuch zum Film "Der Tiger" und die kritischen Anmerkungen dazu geht, wurde erwähnt, dass mehrere hundert Tiger über Ausrüstung zum Schnorcheln verfügten. Die Ausrüstung wurde allerdings nie benutzt und das Schnorcheln mit dem Tiger wo...

Sorry for delaying

Thank you

No problemo! Real life is always more important!

This website has pretty good situation maps of the first two and a half weeks of Barbarossa: https://www.barbarossa1941.com/maps-of-russo-german-war (scroll down a little bit).

:howdy After converting the png to jpg, they are placed on a Polish server for automatic download. For manual downloads, here are: http://www.opengeneral.pl/map/1603.jpg http://www.opengeneral.pl/mapx/1603_brest3k.mapx http://www.opengeneral.pl/map/1604.jpg http://www.opengeneral.pl/mapx/1604_brest...

For those who want a sneak peak at the maps I uploaded them to mediafire. I never used that website and wanted to test it: https://www.mediafire.com/file/m51x6pyi21tih1x/maps_1603_1604.rar/file I am not sure how long the files are hosted without registration. 14 days? I also always fear my stupid ne...

the player has to activate around 14 triggers to raise an army of prototypes :shock I think that would be too dangerous: Once in a while chance might do it right, but the other times the player will find himself with 10 AA units, one light tank and 3 bridging units... :lol Seriously, a viable army ...

Is it possible to exlude certain units from trigger hex in the game? IIRC no, if you let the game decide, it will chose randomly among all the units the player could get at that time period. Is it possible to create a proto list for trigger hex? No (unless I misunderstood your question), but what y...

Please, can someone refresh my memory. Is it possible to exlude certain units from trigger hex in the game?
I am experimenting with trigger hex, but the player get's way too many planes, so I would like to exlude them altogether.
Is it possible to create a proto list for trigger hex?

Well done Herr General

Thank you for playing and finishing this campaign! Your enthusiasm keeps me motivated

Happy New Year everyone!

May everyone stick to their New Year's resolutions

New day, new plans :lol I have so many ideas for scenarios, it's hard to pick the ones that I want to include into Barbarossa (and need to make new maps). At the moment am thinking about Riga and Cesis in Latvia. With such maps I could make use of the synergetic effects and also update the 1919 stan...

I wish all of you a Merry Christmas! Have a wonderful time! Best wishes to you and your family

See you next year!

Here's a little Christmas present for ya'll

There is Colonization based on Civ IV engine, and it is quite modernised compared to original version.It is hard to believe but there are few nice mods still in development. I never played Civ IV or any other title of the series. Only Civ III. Maybe I should give that one another try and see if my ...

RoyalBengalTiger wrote: ↑2025-12-18 03:40, Thursday Do these exist as icons?

I don't think so. At least I don't remember any of these.

RoyalBengalTiger wrote: ↑2025-12-16 00:02, Tuesday Where do I find these?

In the equipicons file of my efile. You can extract them with the icons tool.

Do you use your own equipicons or how do you plan to add your icons to the game?

You can find the Hetzer with 15cm sIG in my equipicons if you want to use them:

KL635
RA303
RA304
RA305

There are also western and asian workers icons:

JCR40

JCR41

Maybe these are sufficient?

There are many of these:

There's a pickaxe, shovel, rifle, uniforms and helmets. But these are not the icons you mean?

RoyalBengalTiger wrote: ↑2025-12-13 01:40, Saturday 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

Keep it up

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...
