Attached are the zipped files for Advanced Third Reich 1939 Campaign.

=================================================================
Advanced Third Reich for Strategic Command WWII: War In Europe, v1.4
=================================================================

DATA CHANGES
- reduced tactical bombers ground attack upgrade increments from 1.0 to 0.5
- reduced most major nation fleet naval attack values by 0.5
- reduced most major nation fleet shore bombardment values by 0.5
- reduced most major nation fighter air-air attack/defense values by 0.5
- adjusted early fall weather data for Western Europe and Central Europe for more clear and no snow
- deleted Rommel HQ from German production queue since unit script added v1.3
- capital sounds for Berlin and Rome fixed

SCRIPT CHANGES
- adjusted offensive scripts for Germany attacking Yugoslavia
- adjusted transport_minor scripts for German withdrawal from Norway
- added #VICTORY_PERCENTAGE= line for the VICTORY scripts per v1.19.00 editor changes

Most of these changes were discussed in the Advanced Third Reich Mod v1.4 Discussion Thread. A couple of others were related to the game v1.19.00 editor update and a bug report regarding capital sounds being wrong. All better now. I think the CTV adjustments as discussed are fine now. I ended a game as Allies versus AI Axis on Expert level with +2 spotting and +2 experience and called it in 1944 as my worthy computer opponent was whupping my butt and Allies were struggling. A lesser difficulty setting would be more balanced.

I actually implemented the changes back in mid-June and ran a couple of AI-AI playtests but I wanted to play for myself to see what was happening. Everything got put on hold for a while. I finally got around to playing this past week. Again, I think the CTV adjustments are fine but two things struck me as being noticeably different based on recent game updates: 1) The new supply rules make desert campaigns more challenging; and 2) the naval AI seems much better at engaging and disengaging from naval combats, to the point that I rarely had a good chance to strike back. My playtest game was ugly. Your mileage may vary.

Enjoy!

Attached are separate PDF files for the Advanced Third Reich Design Notes and Third Reich Historical Notes. I removed these from the zipped campaign files because v1.4 is now slightly larger than v1.3 for some reason and I could not upload the files. So here they are separately.

Great mod! I always liked the board game.

Polish anthem don't play when you click on Warsaw.

I suppose I should have checked that too as an Extent-of-Condition review? Oh well. At least it won't not play for very long...

Find your C:\Users\'username'\Documents\My Games\Strategic Command WWII - War In Europe\Campaigns folder. Unzip the files into the \Campaigns folder. You should see some of the other mods here that came with the initial install. Enjoy!

Did you incorporate Advanced 3rd Reich rules, too? The optional ones?
