Operation Marita - BV This playtest was difficult. The advance is very slow due to difficult terrain and entrenched enemies. The Shallow Sea hexes also create some odd situations, where units can cross the sea. Made the scenario odd. I modified it again, to remove some shallow sea hexes and 2 VHs, a...

Yes, well, I also have to fix some units placement, as some Greek infantry is kind of stuck and the italian aux are placed on a part of the map where they won't get to see any action.

I fixed it thought and now I am playing it...

While playing the new Operation Marita I realized, I made a rookie mistake. I recreated the scenario on the Randowe's bigger Thermopylae map, but I forgot to modify the time limits of the scenario, which makes it impossible to win. :whine :whine :whine Going to have to correct it, but this also mean...

Belgrade - BV This is a scenario which serves as intermezzo pp gathering mission... Nothing complicated, yugoslavians were wiped out for a last turn BV. The final leader showed up, a First Strike on a Bf-109T. No proto. At HQ I finally had just enough pp to upgrade everything that I needed. Planes ...

St. Valery - BV This one is short, bloody and gives the appearance of being easy. Is not. It is very easy to lose core units here, as the allies have a fleet and due to the fact that they keep it near the port they can cover each other and might even kill core units. The mission here is to keep the...

Arras - BV It rained 5 turns. Despite that, I was able to move fast. This scenario has several AI focused tweaks. The English troops are set to attack, while the french are set to dig in. As such, I focused on hitting the French fast and kept on defense against the English Matildas, especially duri...

Antwerp - BV Antwerp proved out more difficult than usually. For some reason the French moved faster than usual and I had to fight their Char Bis tanks while I had no armor nearby. Took some losses on my SS infantries, which are starting to be weaker at this point. BV on the last turn without any pr...

Fall Gelb - BV This is a scenario where time is short and the advance is slow due to many fortifications and entrenched infantry in forests and cities. As such, I was only able to take all the VHs for a last turn BV, without getting the western most hexes (which do contain some nice triggers). I wa...

Operation Wesserubung - BV-2 I landed one marine unit in the first turn and captured the SH and from there I deployed my rest of the core. I divided my arties to go at least one in each direction. The FJ landed on the SW trigger hex after killing the bunker there and got the 2nd Scharnhorst. I am a...

There's a small seaplane tender with the core from the beginning. The idea for that is to serve as min-carrier for Ar-68 and Fi-167 and to be upgraded to a full carrier later on. Both planes are no seaplanes, but carrier-borne planes! Yes, but this is basically my alternate-history world... Germans...

Well, I do have the home advantage on knowing what I will expect later on. There are some scenarios where having a large arty force is essential. And there are some where the navy plays a key part. There's a small seaplane tender with the core from the beginning. The idea for that is to serve as min...

Warsaw - BV-3 I had to move slowly pounding the entrenched infantry with my arties. I sent the SS units along with a few auxes to take the SE VH. They did it and after that they moved up to capture extra hexes. During the battle I got a camouflage expert on the 3.7cm PAK, which is not bad. And a fe...

Krakau - BV My advance was slow and careful, as I didn't know if my core was up to the task. It was. I also found out a use for the foot Marines. Air transports from one airfield to another, even though, I have to escort them. In turn 3 I got a Devastating Fire on a Stuka and that was a real killer...

Konigrratz 1939 - BV -4 All right, this one is easy and rather boring. It serves its purpose for getting extra prestige for Poland. Got a BV without any problems. No proto. At HQ, I upgraded the Pz 35 to Pz 38 and added some attachments. OpenGen 24.11.8.0 * 8 Nov 2024 * AI version: 2.00 (2014) Efil...

Case Green - BV-3 This one is easy, but it can be a bit annoying due to limited deployment hexes available (9). There's not much going on, it is an easy scenario for a change. Got an Aggressive Att leader on my Pz IID. BV with a Pz IIIF proto: https://forum.open-general.com/userfiles/GWC6.JPG At HQ...

Barcelona - BV-2 The first 3 turns were a blood bath especially in the air. Republicans had more fighters than me and I even used the HS-123 to fight other planes. After that while republicans still had planes, they were very reduced in number. It rained constantly, so my advance was slow. After I ...

Also, for those who asked about my campaign to playtest it, I am going to send it to you in the following days. I want to playtest it myself, until the point when I reach Poland (which means 3 more scenarios), to make certain it is not overpowered. I had to edit and tone done a little the 3rd scenar...

Advance on Santander - BV-4 This one was insanely slow, the AI is defending very well and the terrain makes everything sluggish... There was a small Soviet flotilla trying to land on Santander, but the defending coastal republicans did not allow them to... :lol They were there for my own fleet to a...

Siege of Bilbao BV-3 I played the next scenario in several parts. Unfortunately, due to some busy days and the total headache that is called Romanian 2024 Elections, my mind was not in the game. Regardless, Siege of Bilbao is huge. A lot of aux units available, which means a lot of fodder. The core...

I am not sure about cap. I add All map prestige + Army cost + Current prestige + victory prestige + turn prestige and must be bellow cap? Problem is a CCC never had to worry about cap. Plenty of players just bought what they fancied, sometimes upgrading or selling otherwise useful units and this le...

Why would they know where the triggers are? It defeats the whole purpose. Just a few tips. Triggers are definitely on every airport. Almost always reinforcement triggers. You will get proto triggers from time to time, but the units you get are equivalent to the nation it triggered it. For example, y...

:howdy I don't know if you know that you can post drawings directly on open-general.com? Panzerjaeger has already tested .. https://forum.open-general.com/viewtopic.php?p=19374#p19374 :howdy I didn't know... Thanks. :cool Edited the 1st post to include the images on their "correct" locati...

https://forum.open-general.com/userfiles/GWC1.JPG As it were... Thanks to Parabelum for reminding me about this campaign and how it was never fully playtested, I am going to do it myself. With photos... No more Budweis to start with. Instead a nice small invasion of Bilbao and a cause for the futur...

Some of those scenarios were obsolete by 2016, I only included them to have more scenarios for the CCC... The last 2 scenarios were PzManiac's idea of a joke at Steve and Adler. The latest version of GWC is basically on my own efile. I might start soon a playtest AAR. Many scenarios are still there,...

Of course it is impossible. One cannot even buy units unless you accumulate prestige from captured hexes. And you get 0 for playing at 0%.

That was his whole point. To take pride in the fact that he was the only one to try to to play that CC at 0%. He finished it at %100 I think after that...

I remember back when Badpanzer attempted to play this campaign at 0%...

That was a funny, albeit insane attempt. He barely passed the 1st scenario. He restarted the 2nd 4-5 times before quitting.

I have no idea.
I might still have it saved somewhere, but I will have to look into my Dropbox. Not sure if any links survived during the transfer from the old boards.

Failing that, maybe Para can help you.

Another sort of coming back message... Problem is, while I do miss playing OG, I don't have a lot of gaming time available and I am mostly focused on Order of Battle: World War II. That game is so alike Panzer General 2, but with added supply system which is awesome, as well as several features, lik...

:howdy Glad to see my sole contribution to CCCs was so appreciated to still be played after so many years. Back when I started the conversion, I didn't even think about getting it selected for a CC, as the original Andreas Seidel campaign was CC29 I think. But after that at some point after Csaba te...

Already done... On your map, modified... Since, I have been living here, I came to realize what a dreadful experience a naval invasion of Malta would have been. Only 3-4 usable beaches all with bottleneck canyons and the terrain would be terrible for paratroopers... Except she's not yet ready for my...

Yesterday I showed her the standalone SSI scenario of Malta. She immediately see spotted errors in geography and then misspelling of Valletta as Vallena... I do agree, that map is messed up

Yes. I started to get her used with Age of Empires 1&2 and at some point I told her about PG2...

She is still struggling to learn, as she constantly buys planes only and sends artillery to the front lines...

Another post. Unfortunately, my gaming days are on hold for now. My laptop died and I was unable to buy a new one, because in Malta they are insanely expensive... However... I did manage to pass unto another the enjoyment of playing Panzer General 2... She's 9 and she managed to win her first scenar...

Back again... Still living in Malta, becoming more of a Brit each day... I would like to get back to Panzer General one of these days, but for the past months I got more and more into playing Order of Battle World War II. Not to mention some Close Combat games... My e-file is still saved as well as ...

:howdy REDrake. In Germany we say: other countries, other customs. Therefore my question - is your professional qualification as a lawyer fully recognized in Malta? In any case, I wish you good luck and success. Actually it isn't. That was never on the table when I considered moving out. But I am w...

So, back again.

Now however, with a change of scenery due to my own personal Operation Herkules...

Relocated to Malta a week ago. Romania was just not suitable anymore for a legal professional...

My kid already knows what other Cobi sets wants... She wants especially the Graf Zeppelin carrier. But she also wants the German 1940 Narvik soldiers (which I already bought), the Churchill tank, the T34/85, Bf-110D, Pz-IVG and VW Schwimwagen (I hope I spelled it right). I definitely cannot afford t...

I'll make you a purchase suggestion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQTWJi1anUo The box includes a red "dragon" and a tank, I'll gladly take the DVD's myself ;) . Awesome. Of course that would be a Santa gift to remember, as I am also a fan of Sabaton... Cobi kind of tricked me. Like I s...

She is not angry, especially since the other day kid wrote to Santa that she wants a red dragon toy... Suddenly, a plane and a tank, sound so much better...

Well, she is addicted to Lego since she was 2. She has a lot of lego sets. But I had my eyes on these Cobi sets for about a year or so. Yes, I also saw those huge ships, but they are quite expensive. around 150 Euros for Graf Zeppelin. The cheapest is the VIIB U-boat, at 35 Euros. For now, I want th...

Yes, I will make it. Nowadays, I am trying to lecture my 7 years old daughter in the pleasures of history and wargaming... For now, no computer games (although, she likes it when I used to play Age of Empires in front of her, past summer), but I aim for Santa to bring her 3 COBI (LEGO from Germany) ...

US has 37 transports and i have only 14 + one mule + one empty transport weights available... so i have to stuff different transports into the same weights.... I for one placed transports based on the likelihood of being in use by the same units. Just as an example, I have a weight for trucks, anot...

I played a little on your Allied Invasion of Italy campaign... I do hope that in the future you will work on your ships. Having all light cruisers, heavy cruisers and battleships dropped into a capitol ship category is limiting. Especially since it allows players to upgrade light cruisers to battles...

Just came across Operation Unthinkable , a hypothetical attack of the western allies on Soviet troops in Germany on 1st July 1945. There would also be Polish and even German forces fighting with the western allies. That would be a good starting point for a campaign. The attack would have been taken...

Hello people, Sorry for me very lengthy absence. Things went to toilet with my life this past summer. Problems with the job, financial issues, moved our to a rented apartment where my PC is still in a box and came very close to divorce. 2 months ago, I was forced into putting on hold any ideas of wo...

Had a bit of a setback lately. One of my HDDs went down. I was able to save about 80% of the data from it, but some files got corrupted. That unfortunately include some of the text files for my campaigns...

Had to fix some problems with the campaign. I am on scenario 5 now. And this is my core: OpenGen 0.93.4.0 * 25 Dec 2020 * AI version: 2.00 (2014) Efile folder: D:\Dragos\Lost Partition -1\Lost Files\Diverse\New folder\efile_redpac\ * Efile version: Campaign: BLITZKRIEG WORLD CAMPAIGN (1937-1944), * ...

I only read this today...

Very sad on the news...

I will. However, I will have to make some background research on it. I know nothing about that battle...

Yes, it is finished. I am going to try it on a full run. This migh take some time... To the Shores... - BV I realize now that I might have made the first scenario too difficult. I might need to remove 2 Republican units, otherwise players might run in problems. Leipzig cruiser has a random leader. W...
