Ah, so 2k is also okay. My old monitor from my old PC has this resolution. I still use it when I visit my father. My new monitor has a 2k resolution. I had a look into my youtube statistics. So PC and handy had quite the same views. But I don`t think it is a good idea to record with high and small q...

:howdy sympatyk, for cutting and stuff like this I use Shotcut. It is a free programm with a few disadvantages (eg the program need a fast CPU, because otherwise the programm will crash after a large editing from files). That youtube will degrade the videos if they are not in the right size is inter...

Major Heinz

I drive today home and the next days will be stressfull. I don`t know when I will answer you.

Major Heinz

Yes, the map looks other than the normal maps. But it was the right map for the scenario (Collapse of Army Group Center) because it is so big. The normal maps are too small for battles like this. Some examples from Youtube from the several campaigns I had made a playthrough: https://youtu.be/BeRgKR1...

Major Heinz

The video resolution is a problem, because it depends always what kind of device the viewer has. If the player has a fat screen TV or a big screen at his computer full HD is the best, but for handys maybe a smaller resolution is better. Anyway, I was remembering that the problem with window capture ...

Major Heinz

:howdy Ja, habe schon noch vor, Videos von der Kampagne zu machen. Aber davor will ich erstmal die Kampagne soweit wie möglich noch mal durchspielen und wieder mit dem Weiterbauen anfangen. Naja, mal schauen, wie weit ich damit komme. Momentan fühle ich mich auf der Arbeit wie in einem Hamsterrad. M...

Major Heinz

I personally like the first video more in both ways. Yes, the units are smaller, but I think the number of the units are cleaner. I think this is more important, because if the viewers can`t see how strong a unit still is, it is more problematic to follow a scenario.

Major Heinz

Hi Sympatyk, so let`s talk about making videos with OBS for Open General. It's relatively easy. But there are a few things to watch out for. Game recording doesn't work with Open General and I don't think window recording works either. That's why it's actually only possible via screen recording. Thi...

Major Heinz

I don`t know if there are any tutorials. But I had made two videos. One how to make a campaign with PG2 suite (it is same mechanic like Open General Suite, but Open General have several other features). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbOEiwzG8mQ I also had created a Open General scenario live. You ...

Major Heinz

Ja, habe die Kampagne inzwischen zu den Akten gelegt. Lust zu bauen habe ich eigentlich schon noch, aber da ich seit Oktober mein Zeitungsjob gegen einen Schreibtischjob mit mehr Arbeit getauscht habe, sehe ich nicht, wie die Zeit dafür finden kann. Denn ich habe noch andere Hobbies die mitunter zu ...

As far as I now know, Youtube needs much more Mbits for streaming as Twitch (I mean 50 vs 7 Mbits). Also Youtube has another comunity. In a video streamerin Reved (she earlier streamed on Youtube) stated that if she went to the toilet after she came back the half of her viewers were gone.

Major Heinz

Meanwhile I have created a Twitch acconut, because finally my internet is good enough for more livestreaming. I will mostly stream on Sunday and Tuesday on 6 pm. This Sunday I will finally end the Cäsar Campaign from Antique General.
Here is the link: https://www.twitch.tv/arthurbedur16

Major Heinz

I just played the Dyrachium scen in the Cäsar campaign for my Youtube channel. I could win the scenario just by recapturing Cesars old Castell in the south. Is this intended? Because victory condition said that over 30 units must escape, but as I won the scenario no unit was escaped.

Major Heinz

As far as I can remember there was a list, but probably you have to check it in the settings.

Major Heinz

Ich glaube nicht, dass ich das Spiel privat noch mal so spielen werde. Ich baue die Kampagne noch zusammen und spiele vielleicht noch die ein oder andere Kampagne für meinen Youtube Kanal. Für alles andere habe ich inzwischen zu viel Auswahl, denn durch meinen neuen Pc kann ich nun ja auch Spiele sp...

Major Heinz

Doch, doch will die schon noch zu Ende bauen. Aber das hat halt momentan keine Priorität für mich. Hab dafür momentan auch zu viele anderen Projekte am Laufen. Wenn ich mich das nächste Mal ransetze, dann will ich auch ein ganzes Szenario erstellen können. Die letzten beiden Male, wo ich mir einen T...

Major Heinz

Habe heute an der Kampagne weitergearbeitet und erstmal einige Kritikpunkte verbessert: Tunisgrad: - Der Hafen kann nun nicht mehr als Supply genutzt werden. - italienische Flotte erscheint zwei Runden früher - Rundenanzahl vereinheitlicht Kuban Brückenkopf: - Sowjets haben nun das deutsche EH als O...

Major Heinz

Happy new year to everybody.

I have started to upload my first Strategic Command 3 Multiplayer Match on my channel. I am playing the allieds, but unfortunately my opponent is very experienced.

Major Heinz

Nach einem Kurzschluss an meinem neuen PC und der folgenden Reperatur bin ich leider nicht dazu gekommen, irgendwas im Oktober weiter zu machen. Ich fürchte, dieses Jahr wird das auch nichts mehr. Zum einen beginnt bald die WM und Promi Big Brother (meine jährlich Portion Trash-TV), zum anderen werd...

Major Heinz

This months Trapping and Trapped part will probably be delayed (not on 11th november), because my new computer with actual save game is still in repair. The video will come when the computer is back and I have time to play the scenario.

Major Heinz

@Parabellum: I'm glad that you've finally commented on this topic. The fact that with Wonderdoctor and Urica two currently ACTIVE potential players are busy with other things and therefore would not participate in a potential MTC was certainly not seen by others besides me. I enjoyed the last MTC (E...

Major Heinz

Ah cool. Ich hab im September Urlaubsvertretung. Das dürfte ein stressiger Monat werden. Werde hoffentlich im Oktober mal dazu kommen, mit der Kampagne weiter zu machen.

Major Heinz

I found the problem. I had missed an update.

Major Heinz

I have a new computer and installed OG on it with the installer. I wanted to load an old save game. But unfortunately the game crashes everytime before reaching HQ. Maybe the problem is the resolution of my new screen with 2560x1440?

Major Heinz

Kein Problem. Ist halt ärgerlich. Momentan hätte ich schon Zeit, aber muss mich momentan mit dem Blödsinn herumschlagen.

Major Heinz

Ne, hab ich nicht. Hab momentan auch technischen Ärger. Mein neuer PC funktioniert nicht richtig und ich muss den erstmal wieder zur Überprüfung einschicken

Daher habe ich für sowas momentan auch keinen Nerv.

Major Heinz

Nein, eher Vergesslichkeit. War mir auch nicht aufgefallen, da ich alle VH halten konnte.

Major Heinz

Hm, Kuban Bridgehead muss ich mir dann noch mal anschauen. Komisch, denn bei mir hatte das Szenario funktioniert. Vielleicht hattest du relativ früh die Partisanen zerstört und die AI konnte nichts mehr sehen und hat sich daher nicht bewegt. Das macht die AI ja gerne, wenn sie nichts sehen kann.

Major Heinz

Wie viele Reloads ich hatte, weiß ich nicht mehr. Aber zu schwer fand ich das nicht. Und dass es überdurchschnittlich viele waren, habe ich jetzt auch nicht so in Erinnerung. Aber mir hatte sicherlich auch geholfen, dass viele meiner Einheiten noch OS aus dem vorherigen Szenario hatten. So hatte ich...

Major Heinz

Die drei Einheiten, die gekauft werden können, war wohl ein Tippfehler. Gekauft hatte ich da nur zwei Einheiten. Aber gut, da kann der Spieler bei Verlusten wenigstens mal eine Einheit ersetzen. Das mit den Siegbedingungen ist immer etwas verwirrend für mich. Ich weiß nie so recht, welche man mitein...

Major Heinz

I am still uploading a Trapping and Trapped scenario each month. The last scenario was Uman Pocket. https://youtu.be/X7SzgTnHT6o Next week I will be in holiday in Italy and meanwhile I will do my second upload offensive of Strategic Command World War 2. From Monday to Friday everyday a new part will...

Major Heinz

Good to hear.

But also good because on 17th July I will be back from Italy and so I can answer if there will be any questions or comments on my campaign. There should be seven new scenarios of my campaign in these update.

Major Heinz

Good to know. Then I will write the briefings of the new scenarios and send them to you. So player can also play a few new scenarios of my Trapping and Trapped campaign. Luckily I have a lot of time at the moment.

Major Heinz

Ich habe mich entschlossen, nun einfach zwei Szenarien zu machen. Eines, bis zu dem Punkt, wo man die 6. Armee trifft und eines dann zu einem Escape Hex hin. Mache aber derzeit eine kleine OG Pause, denn momentan finde ich Strategic Command viel spannender.

Major Heinz

I had a Strategic Command 3 Livestream on my channel. Here you can watch it:

Major Heinz

Meanwhile the last video of my PBEM game against Randowe was uploaded. We have begun a new scenario (which I quitted today) and I have uploaded the first video today. It is Battle of Prokhorovka and I am the germans but I think they are a little bit weak to win the scenario. But we had a lot of batt...

Major Heinz

One question tough, if you want them to be deployed around the SH, why did you set so many DH (deployment hexes) around the EH (escape hex) ? If you keep those DH and 6th army units are not reinforces, they can easily win the scenario, by deploying into the SH and escape much sooner than the Russia...

Major Heinz

I have send you the files. But I can say that I have found what probably made the mistake. The germans are undeployed on HQ and at the same time I found them deployed stacked on the northwestern edge of the map. I had moved them to another location to show you the units. Probably this problem came b...

Major Heinz

I see. :huh Finally I had already deleted the units out of the scenario and bought them new. Now I have another problem: I created a scenario where you have to rescue the 6th Army from Stalingrad. The player starts near the EH. There is a Russian hex that is also a SH for the Germans (red circle). h...

Major Heinz

Szenario creation:
I accidentally deployed reinforcements that should remain undeployed. How do I get them back to HQ? Unfortunately, it is not possible to simply push it back into the deploy list.

Major Heinz

Randowe and I started a game of PBEM , a fictional scenario Battle of London 1941 that I created (no mirrored game; I was playing the Allied and Randowe the Axis). However, we didn't finish the game because the conclusion of the scenario is that the Axis powers are too weak to win when the opponent ...

Major Heinz

Mit Falaise Pocket ist ein weiteres Szenario fertig. Vor allem in der Luft war das harter Tobak. Die alliierte Luftwaffe war zahlreich, aber von den Modellen zum Glück unterlegen. Da die vielen Bomberstaffel die Einheiten im Kessel zu Heidi Klump :lol schossen, attackierte ich recht früh die feindli...

Major Heinz

But I am interested in your opinion: Which scenario of my Trapping and Trapped campaign did you liked the most?
to randowe:
Clemens, deine Meinung würde mich auch mal interessieren.

Major Heinz

No problem!

I know that I make a lot of mistakes. If I play more concentrated, I can play better. But in my videos it is important to be fast, because nobody likes to watch a 10h video for just one scenario. And to edit the videos I have not enough time.

Major Heinz

As I often have stated I am not a good player and for some reasons I want to quit the scenarios soon, so yes, I am doing a lot of mistakes.

Major Heinz

I only know just a few campaigns. But I would say that it can be helpful for unexperienced player to play with more prestige. And because of that maybe a campaign without a prestige cap can be more helpful.

Major Heinz

Danke dir. Ich bin auch etwas erstaunt, dass Tobruk nach noch nicht mal einer Woche fast 180 Aufrufe hat.

Major Heinz

Thanks for the information. I was just wondering. But as I have made a new experience record I would say it can be necessary to use my new standings so everybody playing it in the next years can know it.

Major Heinz

Why you haven`t included the results of my last run? Or do you only include two tries of each player.
