I downloaded 6.1 44.44MB, unpacked it and copied the files into the proper campaigns folder where the other mods are (they all show up and work) but there is no campaign in the start up menu (again, all the other mods are there.)
So I tried what you said and opened the .cgn file in the editor but all I get is an error: file read error. The other campaign files open fine. The unpacked .cgn file is 5001kb but copies into the campaign folder at 41,411 kb. The data file (2kb) is in there and opens normally. Am I missing something? I did this 3 times downloading and copying but all I get is a corrupted? Fall Weis II - WIE 6.1.cgn file.
Please advise, thank you.
EDIT: The .cgn file did open in word pad but you can't really see anything (I can't read the glop) but it does mean the code is in there.

Hey Crispy. Did you do anything to "Anti-War Propaganda Spreading Disaffection in French Army" script? Its firing every turn.

1. Malta needs an adjustment downwards. German HQ, Four German TAC at GA2, two German Medium at GA2, One Italian Medium at GA1, all ports reduced to zero and it hangs on for eight turns.....Is it getting supply somehow? I can't tell without spotting.
2. USSR unit density a bit better but still so overwhelming in Spring 1942. Soooooo many tank corps on every front.
3. There are too many Allied destroyers. 1941 into 1942 should be the U-Boat "happy time" but there are so many DDs.
4. The UK navy sailed right up to Venice to attack the RM. Not expecting that! Nice.

Check the NM script for loss of Murmansk. I think Soviet morale went up when it was lost to the Finns.

I'm having a great game but Russian NM is still way too high. Its 99% in Summer 1943 and I have Leningrad, Stalingrad, Odessa, Murmansk, Kharkov, Dnep, Minsk, Smolensk and Kiev. With the landing in France in May 1943 they jumped to 108%! Its kind of a game breaker.

I'm not sure what is happening but I would suggest the following:

1. Make the initial shock of war NM drop even higher. That should allow the Axis more historical gains in 1941. USSR NM should be down in the low 70s by end of 1941.
2. Give a small bump up in NM in early 1942 as the "USSR Recovers from the Shock of the Initial Invasion".
3. Give another bump in early 1943 as "War on the Eastern Front Continues".
4. One more small one in mid 1943 if Moscow still held.
5. Have the NM hit for losing Moscow, Stalingrad and Leningrad higher than current. It should be a big blow, especially Moscow.
6. Reduce the size of the Allied landing NM bumps slightly.

I like the dynamic NM it just doesn't seem to be working as intended for the USSR.

One other item.

When the US landed in Algeria there was a pop up for something with the Algerian flags but no text.

I think that this one should stay. It gives impetus for the Germans to take Moscow in 1941. Removed AI Soviet NM bonus Jan 1942 (4%) for holding Moscow

I also think this one is a good one to keep. Removed German Player (vs AI) NM Penalty Jan 1942 (4%)

I agree with gdpsnake that a scripted London Bombing event from October 1940 until war with USSR would be great.

So in the middle of a second play through on 6.2 as the allies, first time as axis.

1). I noticed Brits attacking Berlin as an event and Russians attacking the Romanian oil but where is the Luftwaffe doing the London Blitz? One of the main reasons the Battle of Britain was lost is the targeting change from Air superiority to bombing civilian targets before finishing the RAF. This was primarily due to the bombing of Berlin prompting a furious Hitler to order the bombing of London.
This should be an event the UK player can choose knowing: German morale loss but AA unit gain and the option for German player to do the London Blitz. The bombing of Berlin should cause a slight National morale drop for Germany (3-5%) but also provide a partial strength AA unit to appear in Berlin. Then the German event choice to have the Luftwaffe bomb London causing a slight National morale drop (6-8%) for the UK. The German choice will also allow for an event in July '43 for the Hamburg fire bombing reducing Hamburg to "0" and another slight morale drop (3-5%).

2). I notice that artillery does not fire when an enemy unit 'blunders' into a battle. If they fire defensively at any other time then they should fire defensively in these instances as well. That's what good defensive preparation is all about and why artillery is a good buy.

3). It's probably way too much of a program change but SR'ing a 3 strength unit should not cost as much as a 10 strength unit. After all, it's about RR capacity use and smaller units cost less so a partial strength unit should as well. The MPP value should be based on strength as well as unit size (div, corp, army).

4). Shore bombardment seems very ineffectual. I'm not so concerned about strength loss but about readiness/morale loss. I also find that artillery attacking units seem to get a lot of strength point loss, as many as 3 kills a shot. Artillery should cause suppression (morale/readiness loss) but the strength point loss is way too much. Aircraft are getting a lot of kills as well. Aircraft are just airborne artillery; the 'stuka scream' devastated morale much more than killed men/equipment. Now if someone wants to mod special tank killing aircraft or provide an event for "Carpet Bombing" then go for it but aircraft kills are too high in my estimation and should be more about loss of readiness and morale causing the kills/retreats on follow-up ground attacks.

5). I would like to see the ability to reign in or end Lend Lease to Russia. The two 40MPP equals 80MPP value in Russia is simply not needed in the later years when the US needs the MPP's to ramp up for the invasion.

Just some thoughts. Great work, great fun.
