See post #913 on page 31 for the file structure.
Notes:
1) Do not put it with the official campaigns; it must go via the My games/... route
2) The dat file and the folder are on the same level, the folder contains additional sub files/folders.
3) I believe the cgn file will be created after you start the campaign the first time.
4) When selecting which campaign to play, you may have to scroll to the 2nd page to see the Fall Weiss 8.3 among the campaigns screen.
5) Don't be confused about Fall Weiss 20. That is an older version that comes with the community pact.

Status: offline 		Hello all!

It's been a long vacation from the game but I'm back at it. I just finished a game of v8.3 against the Allied AI, having lost in summer 1945 while trying to obtain a marginal victory. I don't mind losing to the AI, it's better than steam rolling them each game!

The above aside, I completed an update this week. But since it's been a long time between updates, I would send out an open call for any bugs/errors etc. found that I can also tweak before I upload it. I did correct a territory script for the Allied invasion of Egypt through the Sudan, so no need to mention that one, as well I changed Rippentrop to Ribbentrop in various texts (whoops).

Changes so far on this update are below, quite a few are inspired by vanilla patches and are pretty good balance tweaks that fit in the mod as well. In addition there are some tweaks in favor of the Axis in the later game around 1943, I felt the nation was a bit starved for reinforcements around this time, when in reality this was a peak period for manpower/production from a German perspective, even if the tide was quickly turning.

I also took the opportunity to rethink and tweak some reinforcement costs and elite reinforcement costs, with some units no longer even paying an elite premium where it's more a representation of the experience of the unit. I was very happy to adjust down the reinforcement costs of some naval units with the ability to change reinforcement costs somewhere between 5 and 10%.

Overall this update is meant to bring the mod up to speed with the various patches that have come out. I'll probably add a few more tweaks, now that I've gotten the patches out of the way and can brainstorm a bit, or based on feedback.

P.S. I apologize for not answering all the PMs received this year, I was truly on SC vacation.

Changes 9.0
- France starting MPP increase from 75 to 90
- French 2nd Army at Verdun and 9th Army at 155,82 increased in strength from 5 to 8, 1st Army at 153,81 increased in strength from 5 to 6, XLIV Corps at Epinal; IX Corps at Belfort increased in strength from 5 to 6.

- While Italy is neutral, USA will mobilize 5-7% towards the Axis if there are 2 Allied Amphibious units within 30 hexes of Syracuse Port, or 7 or more Allied naval units within 18 hexes of Syracuse Port.

- Decision events related to US sending supplies to USSR through Persia now require all road hexes between Bandar Abbas and Baku to be in Allied hands

- The Murmansk convoy now requires Murmansk and all hexes to Belomorsk plus Vologda to be in Allied hands

- Pro-Axis Iraq will swing 25-35% towards Axis if Germany has 1-2 units within 7 hexes of Suez Canal (actual game says 7 in notes, but 5 in practice, I went with 7)

Status: offline 		Teddybbeer - Very soon!! It's been a long time since I've updated so I wanted to complete a playthrough with all of these various changes to make sure it was working properly. I will likely upload this weekend after making a few final tweaks.

Oxfordguy3 - Yes I would say absolutely more challenging. I've played 2 matches recently, both as Axis which resulted in an Allied Decisive Victory and an Axis Major Victory, so a split. The game is different in that the Axis can win the game by drawing out the war long enough, in addition to simply winning outright. I'm not the greatest player but my ELO Ranking is #6 in vanilla last I checked and of course I've made the mod which would help so I would say you will certainly feel challenged. I've played 100% of my AI games with 20% AI MPP bonus, and +1 Experience, so those would be the recommended settings.

Typically mods have to go here:

C:\Users\[Your User Name]\Documents\My Games\Strategic Command WWII - War In Europe\Campaigns

That error I believe is a signal you installed it the wrong area

Status: offline 		Hi, I have a few questions about your mod.
First a little background, I was playing a game as the Axis vs the AI and all of a sudden on June 6, 1943 the Allies launched a massive D-Day. This ruined my game as despite me doing great in the east with 80% of the caucuses taken, Stalingrad, and Leningrad in my control, as well as the Middle East + Egypt, my front collapsed because I had to pull so many troops west.

So my questions are:
1. Is it unique to your mod that the Allies D-Day in 1943 and if so can it be disabled through a script?
2. Is the early D-Day caused by a lack of troops in France similar to the troops near Warsaw rule?
3. What makes the Allies decide to D-Day early or is it random?
4. What tips do you have for beating an Allied D-Day?
5. Finally are there any unit counter mods that are compatible with your mod that you know of?
I just wanted to say I love your mod and always play it over vanilla. Thank you for all of your work on the game!

Status: offline 		I have a suggestion for the mod. I think it would be awesome for you to include a new Waffen-SS unit. What I mainly mean by this is a separate unit designation with a black NATO counter or preferably with the SS mark and not overpowered German units. You could also add events to allow for the recruitment of historical SS units at the cost of MPPs. This would be a cool addition especially for people like me who enjoy larping.

I wonder if the Major your units belong to is actually at war with Sweden?

You can check this by going to the War Maps and seeing if that country (presumably Germany?) is already at war with Sweden. If not, declaring war should enable their units to attack the Swedish ones.

1. I don't recommend disabling it, it could end up that D-Day never happens
2. No
3. There is a much higher % chance that the Allies will attempt D-Day in 1943 if the Axis have achieved stronger than historical gains in USSR by the end of 1942, that is what the decision is tied to, it is not 100% certain any circumstance though to keep things unpredictable.
4. When I defeat France I try to make sure that the capital does not move to Bordeaux, it is re-captured easier upon D-Day and will give the Allies quicker access to Capital supply, also if you ground the Luftwaffe you are in big trouble. To be honest it's very difficult to repel D-Day, reflective in the amended game end date, sometimes the Axis just needs to hope to draw out the war long enough to avoid unconditional surrender. If you can't transfer Tanks from the East you won't have a chance.
5. I don't think any are compatible due to the new unit types.

Thanks glad you enjoy it!!

I found a second bug playing 8.3. I attacked Stockholm Sweden with tactical bombers, all within range, and NONE were allowed to bomb the target. I even tried bombing a Swedish ship that was even closer to them. Nothing would happen.


I think Bill is correct, did you DOW with Finland who maybe did not sign the Tripartite Pact.

I have a suggestion for the mod. I think it would be awesome for you to include a new Waffen-SS unit. What I mainly mean by this is a separate unit designation with a black NATO counter or preferably with the SS mark and not overpowered German units. You could also add events to allow for the recruitment of historical SS units at the cost of MPPs. This would be a cool addition especially for people like me who enjoy larping.


I've thought about it, but unfortunately I'm not even sure I have a unit spot left to use. There are various units that spawn in France, Netherlands and Baltic States that were meant to represent these units.

I've seen someone use a minor to represent this branch of the army before, but I would need assistance adding the bitmaps. My new laptop I don't have any editing software.

Hi, I have a few questions about your mod.
First a little background, I was playing a game as the Axis vs the AI and all of a sudden on June 6, 1943 the Allies launched a massive D-Day. This ruined my game as despite me doing great in the east with 80% of the caucuses taken, Stalingrad, and Leningrad in my control, as well as the Middle East + Egypt, my front collapsed because I had to pull so many troops west.

So my questions are:
1. Is it unique to your mod that the Allies D-Day in 1943 and if so can it be disabled through a script?
2. Is the early D-Day caused by a lack of troops in France similar to the troops near Warsaw rule?
3. What makes the Allies decide to D-Day early or is it random?
4. What tips do you have for beating an Allied D-Day?
5. Finally are there any unit counter mods that are compatible with your mod that you know of?
I just wanted to say I love your mod and always play it over vanilla. Thank you for all of your work on the game!


Also congrats on those results in the East! I know I haven't made it easy!

It's possible I made that mistake but don't think so. My Medium bomber was able to attack Stockholm...just not the tactical ones. I was able to land amphibious units and also do a paratroop drop.

Armor, note). They could also be used for Russian Guards units. But yeah a lot of artwork would then be required.
