Status: offline 		Oops, I didn't realize the type of event would matter. It is a decision event I have in 653N about the US supporting Free France. YES allows the Free French units to be eligible to arrive. I always take it, the computer seems to never take it, so I was trying to track down why [it is set to AI = 100%]. If I continue to have trouble with it, I will get back to you. Thanks

Naval game:
Most of the Naval units from the stock game are not in this scenario. Both sides have Subs and a few Destroyers.

Unfortunately, the next version will have even more notes, and may even include a few passages re-written from the manual. But hopefully, the notes are overkill and players can still play and then only have to refer to the notes when a question arises. Or ask here

Any expected release date on that new version, and some info on what your changing? Pretty please?

Status: offline 		Well, I've been tinkering with Supply and Resource Values, and focused MPP's more on Mines and Oil, and added in some more historic options that didn't happen historically but could be an option under certain circumstances. I've been considering possibly doing an AAR type thread here in the Design Forum showing some of this stuff, thereby having it open for possible discussion and comments.

I've got to get it to where the major things work properly before I do that, otherwise it is a waste of time for anyone who is interested.

Edit: My current game just ended so I think I talked myself into doing that AAR, in a separate thread.

It looks like DropBox has rearranged its page since last I was there, but you still click the Download button at the upper right, and then skip the sign-in if you want by clicking at the bottom of that window, then continue to download the zip.

Is the cgn file included anywhere in the download? Only that is essential for play.

If not perhaps take another look at the Dropbox page as hopefully you'll find it there.

Status: offline 		The cgn file is included in the dropbox file. I see you found it, very good.

The dat file is not needed - it is generated the first time you run the mod.

Looking at the file path at the top of your screenshot, you have placed 653N in a 'backup' folder, which may be why it is not showing in your Campaigns list.

Status: offline 		What's happening is that each time the game launches it creates a new folder and names it 'Backup Campaign' and sticks the new mod in there and changes the campaign folder to 'read only'. I tried changing everything to 'not read only' but the game keeps switching it back.

Any idea why this is happening?

Status: offline 		OK One more try. I completely screwed up the rights to the Mygames folder and cant get them back. So...I downloaded and installed my Matrix version of the game in a different folder and updated it to 1.14.

1 - Will this mod work with the matrix version?

2 - If so, where to I place the 653N files?

THANKS

Status: offline 		I haven't tried this mode yet but I'm wondering about the "convoy" system. If the convoy lines were replaced by the convoy locations, then the Allied player may just send the destroyers to sit on those locations. Sure the Allies don't have enough destroyers to cover all the locations but such a permanent area denial takes out the "cat and mouse" feel from the game.

You don't understand. The Naval aspect is heavily abstracted.
