dec, the Areas comments were just observations, not a necessity. Overall, they look pretty good. Don't know what happened with SWE, unless some political stuff got tweaked this time. Re: Sedan and Verdun. I thought there was some event that built a level 2 Fort along there. Might not have fired. Might not have had time to build (FRA is almost completely prostrate, economically). Might not have added Sedan and Verdun correctly. I will have a look in the history to see if I can find it.

Hagar, McAfee said the RAR file contained either malware, spyware, viruses, or a combination of them. So, I guess I will live without them. You can send them to Teg for integration, if you like, or CORE can live without them.

I have tinkered with the fort locations for the following Provinces: Saarbrucken; Mulhouse; Stuttgart; Freiburg; Chaumont; Dijon; Munster; Antwerp; Lille; Turin; and Warsaw.

Ran a test as SOV thru Apr43. I noticed the following:

Many SOV Five Year Plan events say Manpower -1, then at the bottom of the popup, Manpower +1.

SOV ran out of Manpower by Spring of 1943.

The Romanian and Hungarian events to change sides fire without the Soviets really doing anything to precipitate them. Should review.

Also, in a different test as the USA I saw the SOV disrupt Production of one of their own divisions! I have never seen that, ever. Explanations?

Something may be wrong with the L60882 in the picture file Hagar formatted. That could be what is causing my virus software fits.

Hi,

SOV MP Popup: The last intended command in a few of the events has a value of +1:

command = { type = tc_mod value = 1.0 } # TC compensation #2

So maybe it's related to this. You're sure it's showing as MP in the popup?

SOV MP situation: What was the overall situation at this point? How many divisions deployed? SOV should not be a bottomless pit of MP.

ROM/HUN Events: The initial events are basically dealing with GER taking action to solidify control in ROM and HUN d2 SOV battlefield positions and possible ROM/HUN overtures to SOV. As such. SOV doesn't do anything other than hold territory. What was the on ground situation when these fires?

Production Disruption: Odd. MAybe a text error. OR maybe the NKVD at it's best.

Blecky probably has the right of it.

SOV in APR43: 280 INF; 32 CAV; 1 MOT; 10 LARM; 8 MTN; 37 GAR; 12 HQ; and 80 MIL. I don't play the Soviets a lot, so I don't know whether that is "a lot", or not. SOV Manpower should be experiencing a squeeze in the late winter of 1944 (historically), after the Winter Offensives.

The GER/SOV situation was stalemate along the starting SOV border. So, that might explain the HUN and ROM events firing.

Re: Extending the Maginot Line. Those events likely just didn't fire when I was watching them earlier.

Armd,

SOV with 450+ divisions seems like a lot to me. I haven't looked at any OOB info for them lately so that is just an impresssion. Also suspect that there was plenty of fighting and dying by the RKKA. If that's so running out is probably about right. Both the rOM and the HUN events should fire with a border stalemate. That is exactly the way it should work. What did you think of the general SOV experience? I actually have always enjoyed playing them. Lots of combat, but not to cosmic. One big front to fight on without a lot of extra distractions.

Should India be blowing money on foreign espionage?Especially against AFG/PER/CYN, which in a normal game they'll never be at war with?

Events 22512+22530 from cored_ai_jap both have incorrect names/comments, since they put Hata Shunroku as CoS/CoA.

I took the liberty of writing a new description for Belgium since the current one is very short and sounds a bit as if Belgium would fight on the Axis side.
Code:
Although Belgium's neutrality had been guaranteed by the powers of Europe in 1839, in August 1914 Germany 
invaded Belgium and Luxembourg as part of the Schlieffen Plan. The Belgian military fought valiantly against the 
invaders, but virtually the entire country was occupied until 1918 leaving the country and its economy in ruins. 
In the Treaty of Versailles Belgium received the area around Eupen-Malmedy and large reparations from 
defeated Germany. Belgium together with France occupied the Ruhr between 1923 and 1926 to force the 
reparation payments, but the reduced German payments with the Young Plan and the Wall Street Crash of 
1929 left the Belgian economy in deep trouble. Starting in 1935 the Rexist movement led by Léon Degrelle 
gained influence with its populist and extremist policies. Despite still being technically allied to France and the 
United Kingdom in 1936, Belgium under Paul van Zeeland has decided to pursue a policy of unaligned neutrality 
while building up its border defenses with the world's largest fort Eben-Emael. Still, should Germany and France 
again go to war it is uncertain if either neutrality or Eben-Emael can save Belgium.

Hagar, those look great. I will have more for a later version, but I have a lot more work to do on that list first. For those, I will be more than happy to let you search for pix to your heart's content, as there won't be a rush. Some of those may prove quite a challenge.

dec, the number of divisions for a Player seems to require extra versus a GER AI. Frankly, I was testing other stuff and there had been no real combat (so no losses). Besides, not sure how game units compare to historical units.

I do have one comment about your new Areas. We should all try to watch to see if Rivers have any effect upon anything to do with Areas. They may not, but it might be interesting to look at.

Teg, are you saying the map changes are not "enough"? Really, dec might want to check my files back against his so he can make sure I didn't skip some of his stuff, and so he can add some of his ongoing changes before you deploy an updated version. Otherwise, I am working up my change file list. When you see it, you can decide for yourself.

Typo in USA leader file: 605846 instead of 60846
English file has an out-of-sequence leader 505068 - intended ?
German file has one out-of-sequence leder 1100803 - intended ? At the bottom there's an ID extension starting with low 1100000 so leader number is somewhat high.

dec,

Edit. dec, I didn't think much about it when Sweden joined Finland in the Winter War, but later, Sweden also joined the Axis for Barbarossa. Might want to review that.

I dunno, I think if Sweden had intervened in the Winter War that's kinda reasonable, they'd have thrown their lot in with protecting Finland and when hostilities resumed along the Soviet-Finnish front would presumably be in the same 'Parallel war' situation that Finland is in - represented by being part of Germany's alliance.

Hi,

IND: Shifted to defensive spying only.

JAP: Fixed.

BEL: Added.

SOV: Divisions are generally 1:1. There are some issues with the SOV shifting TO&E. But the late war period is pretty close except for the Armoured Brigades they deployed obviously need to be amalgamated into in game divisions. On that note, you seem very short on LARM. Since these soak up a lot of IC relative to MP that is an issue. Also, if you held at the border you are probably missing MP from TM/DM mobilization. That's a lot of MP that a historical campaign would have.

Build: I don't have a lot without Armd's inputs. will need to see his for a bit to modify some files. should be good to go once that is done.
