I was working on updated inc files for all countries (to include mobilized troops, to balance some techs etc.) and I'll combine the Stephen's file with the one I made. Results will come soon.
jova said:TurnerBenton, how did you fix the Columbian OOB error? I can't figure out what is creating that ship-division combo.

Well...jova said:Stephen, are the Austrohungarian landwehrinfanterietruppen division presented as inf OK? Should they be res, perhaps? Currently, only theeir landsturm is res.
jova said:Ah, now I see. The bracket.
StephenT said:Here's the revised German .inc file containing these changes:
File
I've given the two heavy artillery brigades to the VII Korps in Munster - this was the unit that spearheaded the attack on Liége. Otherwise, I allocated one artillery brigade per regular korps, and when I'd allocated all 20 I started on the 15 heavy weapons brigades, again one per korps and then one per reservekorps until I ran out.
StephenT said:Other minor changes: 10. /11. /27. Landwehrbrigade should be reserve, not militia.
No, all the other Landwehr brigades are Reserve Infantry - this one was the only one that was militia. The German OOB is currently as follows:SirCentipede said:Why that ? Gameplay ?
I'm asking this, because afaik Landwehr-Brigades and -Divisions consisted of reservists which were too old and/or deemed unfit to serve in a Reserve-Division, why should they then have the same combat ability as a Reserve-Division, which consists of younger and abler reservists. And all the other Landwehr-Brigades in the german.inc file stay militia, so why should be this one upgraded to Reserve-Infantry ?
StephenT said:No, all the other Landwehr brigades are Reserve Infantry - this one was the only one that was militia. The German OOB is currently as follows:
Regular divisions: model 3 INF
Reserve divisions: model 2 INF
Landwehr and Ersatz divisions: RES
There are now no German MIL divisions in the starting OOB. The only historical German units that would fall under this category, in my opinion, are the post-1918 Freikorps (if anyone fancies writing an alt-historical Soviet Revolution in Germany battlescenario?) and East African askari native levies.
lees said:The German Reserve-Divisionen were much better trained than their French and Russian equivalents and the Germans used them with success from the beginning in the first line while the French, fearing that their Reserves would be crushed if they use them in the front, used their Reserves very carefully.
Sounds fine to me. In fact, I'd go further and make all the German colonial garrisons GAR, except for Lettow-Vorbeck's troops in Ostafrika which should probably stay as LGT...TurnerBenton said:Is it viable to make the Shutztruppe Südwestafrika a garrison instead of a light infantry? I'm having difficulty balancing British colonial force in southern Africa with this one unit. Either I have 35 divisions against it or none. If it's none, then that one unit will tear through all of South Africa, Rhodesia and Congo before being stopped. I hate to lose the historical accuracy, but in reality it was one of the first divisions that was defeated in the war and it's wreaking havoc on the AI.
lees said:Germany gets Infantry 1915 not 1917
lees said:and there's an Reserve 1915.
lees said:I suggest that we test it first how the AI reacts to garrisons instead of a mobile division and then we decide. Generally I agree but maybe not all of the "Schutztruppen". Togo has no real force and Kamerun and Ostafrika should have mobile troops. But important is to test the reactions of the AI.
