Hi Hubert, very glad for the news that it was the manual that was missing it and not the game, i think this is one of the very good improvments for GLOBAL!

DE=Decision events

One question, as i have understood it, GLOBAL would introduce the feature that high tech units attacking each other would cancel themselves out and not take som much hits, i can find that in the manual, but it´s there right?

It looks very promising after briefly reading through the manual, focusing on the NEW features (good idea to mark these) For me these looks to be the most interesting ones: -Bombers and surface ships to attack convoys,-Reports -Extra hot keys -Posibility to add MPP´s to DE´s And the Alliance of evil also sound good. I CAN´T WAIT!

I have now updated the campaign and moved it into the repository. 1940 Sweden v1.1 Changes for v1.1 Added names to some resources Added text with names of resources Adjusted artillerys range Added roads Changed rockets to fortress guns Added fortress guns to Sweden Added some units to Sweden Added partisan scripts Changed bitmaps for German HQ´s and Swedish fortress guns Changed dates in unit scripts and added 1 Finnish unit Added Swedish fortresses and 1 port Changed action points for most unit types Fixed weather on some tiles Added offensive scripts Added strength script for UK bomber attacks Changed to daily turns Changed combat data Adjusted Swedish map Changed some research Increased German Build limits for Tanks and added units to the map Changed resource data

1938 Calm before the storm v1.12 ----------------------- Changes in v1.12 Changed German 1st Paratroopers experience to 1 Increased maximum research Fixed picture link in pop up script Fixed text in unit script Changed some resource bitmaps Added one German industrial center and added that to one resource script

There are a few scenarios at Panzerliga.de

1938 Calm before the storm v1.11 ----------------------- Changes in v1.11 Chnaged Research, 2 chits allowed at each research area now, but the chance for a hit is lowered to 3% for level 1 , 2% for level 2 and 3, 1% for level 4 and 5. Removed 1 German army in unit scripts (19th) Increased strength on 11th German Army in the production queue (from 1 to 10) Lowered USA activation from 5 to 2% 3 new German unit scripts added (Ost legionen) Fixed weather on some tiles Changed back Germany as Spain´s Axis parent as i think Italy gets too strong and alter the balance in Africa too much Changed date on one UK offensive script Added Spanish convoy to Germany

Hello, this question may have been answered already, but is there a way to copy/transfer a PDE map/campaign to Global? I guess you have to edit scripts afterwards but will there be a way?

Hello Crispy, very interesting reading, i am looking forward to follow your game!

It´s a very good book to use when designing SC MODs, when you wonder about the strength for different campaigns, personally i like the Luftwaffe book a bit more so far, i believe that is because i know more about the Panzerwaffe than the Luftwaffe. I really like the layout of them, but maybe not very deep analyzes (192 pages says it all).

One of the books i got for christmas is http://www.amazon.com/German-Panzers-World-Order-Battle/dp/0760331162 I already have another book in the oredr of battle series by Chris Bishop, Luftwaffe and i think that is veru nice, it gives a good overview of Luftwaffes organization during the war and different campaigns but maybe not that deep. And the Panzer book looks to be the same, very nice color schemes and each campaign is described and also hiow the panzers were organized during the war, recommended. I will shortly also buy another book in this series, German Infantry.

1938 Calm before the storm v1.10 Ok, here another version comes, sorry for the fast updates, you will just have to download and install and then a new version is already there, but i had some time to do this now after Christmas dinner and present exchanging. ----------------------- Changes in v1.10 Increased French Build limits for Tanks from 4 to 5 Increased USSR Build limits for Rockets from 2 to 4 Added 2 rockets in the production queue (1940 and 1942) Added German partisans "Polizei" on the map Increased US build limits with 1 more Tank, Attackbomber and fighter Increased US build limits to 8 HQ´s (from 6), and added one to August in the production queue (thanks Crispy) Changed bitmaps for USSR rockets and German paratroopers in desert and at winter Removed one militia from the Afrika korps unit script Moved UK unit script to strengthen Western Desert Force to happen in july 42 and increased the force some Added 3 offensive script for USSR to attack Kharkov, Kiev and Berlin Added 1 offensive script for USA to attack Berlin Added 1 corps to Dakar troops unit script (Free France) Added 1 militia to Am Timan troops unit script (France, Free France, Vichy France) Added one tank to UK Nairobi unit script Added one HQ to UK Egypt unit scipt Changed dates on some UK unit scripts in Africa Fixed spelling in unit scripts Added some units to Moscow unit script Changed dates and conditions for USSR Stalingrad unit scripts Removed fortification scripts for Stalingrad, instead there are premade fortifications at the beginning (thanks Crispy) Commonwealth HQ unit script arrival moved from 4103 to 4012 (thanks Crispy) Lowered effect of fall Blau strength script some. Added 1 Spanish corps to be arrive if Germany plans attack on Spain Changed a few offensive scripts Lowered strength on unit script Panzerarmee Afrika Added some mountains in Africa and a fort "Mechili" Added polish town Tarnow Changed some text Changed diplomacy costs to 225 and 350 MPPs Added one gentleman´s agreement in one decision event (planning attack on Spain)

Happy holidays, i just recieved some nice ww2 books to read

Whoaw, thanks very much for the feedback! I will try to put in as much of your suggestions as possible. Yes, There are USA scripts to attack North Africa, i am not sure why it not happens so often, it´s the same for me But if you hold England as Axis the North African invasion will no happen according to the scripts, maybe i should change that) I will add a few more US HQ´s also and put one of them in the production queue. I will add Stalingrad fortifications at the beginning instead of scripted ones, i believe building forts around Moscow takes up the time. I will also give the AI some more Moscow units, there are already also quite a few Stalingrad units scripted that should have arrived when you when closing in. I will also add some offensive scripts for the Allies. Myself i almost always gets bogged down in Russia at Moscows doors in the winter and then gets crushed after the winter, i had not thought about the idea to move away some units to save them from the winter. Then i will also try to add something i call Gentleman´s agreement, to not chose to plan attack of Spain if Spain is Axis (since you will get 3 corps) And again, Thanks!

When did USA become active? Maybe they did not have time to get into action, i am not sure what more kind of scripts that are needed since he usual ones are there.

1938 Calm before the storm v1.9 ----------------------- Changes in v1.9 Lowered strength of some USSR armies at the map (from 10 to 5) Increased German build limits with 1 artillery and reduced 1 army Increased strength of Fliegerführer Sahara, Irak and Ost Afrika from 3 to 5 Added Romanian oil supply convoys to Germany Fixed some pop up events, added more variable conditions for some also (thanks Samichlaus for pointing out them) Added variable conditions for decision event for Operation Catapult (thanks Samichlaus) Added activation script in case of Germany attacks Poland, then France and UK becomes 100 % active (thanks Samichlaus) Added 1 corps and 1 militia to Switzerland build limits Added French Army Groups Petain and De Tassigny Added some more mountains in Africa Added activation scripts in case of Axis attacks India, Anglo Egpyt Sudan or Britisch Africa, then UK becomes 100 % active (thanks Samichlaus) Changed Italy to Spain axis parent (thanks Crispy) Changed the map around Switzerland and added fortresses, also added maginot line to the French Italian border, Luxembourg border and completed Rhine river where it´s missing (thanks Samichlaus) Lowered upgrade cost for Austrian (to 125%) units and Czechoslovakian (to 150%) units, in reality all Austrian units was integrated into the German army, but i wanted to keep some Austrian units to use so that´s why they are there. I have now added variable conditions for desicion events when that is possible, but sometimes it´s not possbible, so then these events may turn up even though they are old and will not happen, like Spain, they are usually some percentage Axis, then it is not possible to add a variable condition when the desicion event to attack them should occur.

Yes i recently bought and read ‘The Wages of Destruction’, and as you state, not easy reading but very interesting!

Hello Sami, i recieved the files and loaded them into the editor no problem, but when i then tried to save it reported several script errors, i now realize that your map is from v1.3 and it does not match my latest map v1.8 or rather the one that will be v1.9, i have made huge map changes in Africa since v1.3 Now i am recreating my map using a back up of v1.8, i will manually do your changes, i guess they were only around Switzerland? I never thought about this problem, well i do not think it will take that long time. Anyway Thanks for the help :-)

Hello Crispy, i did not see that you had replid when i made my last comment, and yes why not change Spain to Italy minor, i do not see any problem with it, anyone object?

Now i believe i have fixed most of the faulty ones, i will see when v1.9 is uploaded. Regarding Op Tannenbaum i set as a condition that Frnace shall be surrendered (as the plan where historically) Some other decisons could also pop up when they not should, but i have not found out any way to have good conditions for these (Op Ilona for instance).

Hello and thanks for the comments, it seems that i have some work to do, please send the map to mats-erik.wiktorsson@home.se
