Is anyone still working on this scenario? I have started to go through it and noticed a few things that I would like to ask and some things that I have started correcting...
Question 1: A lot of the German troops in the scenario are locked. In which file can I find the event scripting that states what exactly will unlock them?
Question 2: The game has exceptionally few German garrisons in Russia. Is this deliberate? IMHO it seems somewhat unlikely that the Germans had that few garrisons in their occupied territories.
Things I am working on changing - what I have noticed so far.
1) The German heavy armor brigades are level 1 (1938) instead of level 2 (1941). Also since Tiger tanks were first used in North Africa in Tunis, the brigade attached to the 10th Panzer in Tunis should be a Tiger brigade.
2) The American naval forces in Algiers is split into an 8-BB fleet and a fleet of screens. Somehow the AI fails to mix them and instead sends the BB fleet towards Italy without screens...
3) Italy has four level 4 BB's. I seem to recall that their battleships were of a much older design?
4) In general, the ressource depots in Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli, Bengazi and Tobruk and Stalingrad are way too small to sustain more than a few days' fighting. This hinders the American and British AI in North Africa, where the troops historically were very well supplied during the offensive. In this scenario, British forces in North Africa are supplied from Bombay after a few days!! :wacko: And a breakout from Stalingrad is practically impossible because of lack of fuel.
5) A LOT of naval bases are missing on the map. French cities on the English Channel are missing big naval installations and others, like Rostock and Marsailles, have been moved to adjacent provinces?
6) The German Eastern Front gets a dug-in bonus while the Soviet counterpart gets level 2 land forts. It hardly seems realistic. Is it just to help the AI against a human player?
7) The chance of rebellion in the Balkans is zero where it should be the same as in Russia.
8) Italian North African provinces are already marked as British-owned and Italian-occupied. This is, of course, wrong - but of relatively little importance because the provinces yield next to no manpower or ressources.

I've been playing this campaign for 3 weeks now. I'm in nov 43' as germany on VH 1.3. I managed to save stalingrad(stupid ai), and except for the northern front i have held the original borders in the south. I am running very low on oil, 3k, although i have captured baku which is giving only 5 oil(of 16) right now. My question is when are those ~40 elite divisions who are sitting in some of the big cities unlocked? I am not able to make an armoured offensive without oil so I need these infantry badly. Manpower is strangly not a problem yet, I have 400mp and its going up as I've stopped production of inf. Also why does germany have no garrison in captured ussr?
Also, in my game(it might be an older update), Yerevan, the ussr province, has 56IC ! How did this happen? I feel like I'm cheating by taking it.

See one of the former posts. It was probably Duck1987 who decided that USSR needed more IC and he did not bother to distribute it evenly over the Urals.

I am starting a game now and will see how it goes. Didn't Stalingrad run out of oil real quick? I am sort of planning to break out right away, figuring I'll only ever get one chance...
About the locked divisions, I suspect they might be unlocked by an invasion in France? The same for those in Italy. I am planning to disband some of them to use the manpower to produce garrisons and get my TC down in Russia...

Yes. The version by Hytzon seems to work with Doomsday. To get it, go back a few pages and find the link in one of his posts.

Stalingrad ran out of oil, but i keep supplying the infantry by air. They were attacked right as i broke through, but survived until the seige was broken. The transports were in roguh condition afterwards.
Commander-DK said:
And so if there isn't an invasion they just sit there? what about the elite armies sitting in the east like in warsaw there is an 8 div army. I don't need MP right now.
Okay just a few replies.
There are a lot of strange things in the scenario, I mostly corrected what I could find quickly and what I found interesting... Like cleaning up German leaders and troops on the East Front.
The landlocked divisions won't be unlocked at any stage, and Duck1987 made them this way with the intention to provide a somewhat historical game. In Italy the landlocked divisions make up the defence line of 1943.
Currently I am not modding the scenario any further, as I have upcoming exams and so forth. Some of the points Commander-DK made in an earlier post aren't to hard to implement, so I might do it soon if I find the time.
Commander-DK have you started to mod anything or are you waiting for me to upload a new version?

Nice to hear that the improving of this (wonderful) scenario isn't completly dead.
Are you using the version I have uploaded? http://hytzon.dk/1942_DD_1.1.rartomdj said:on doomsday 1.3a it just crashes for me before it can load

Sorry, no changes for now. If you have some good requests, I could probably find the time to include them at some point. As always time is the problem, and I also find it hard to get some good data on troop/ship etc. positions in this period. I did add a lot of american tank divisions that were raised and declared combat ready within the time frame, but haven't uploaded it yet.
The version I have uploaded does NOT work with the original HOI 2, but Duck1987 original version do. I don't know if this link is working, but its the one he has in his signature http://www.savefile.com/files/337622idiot said:
