Game is Completely Finished.
I'm going to consider the this "War In Europe" 1.0 as future updates are a possibility based on the feedback I get, on whether the game is balanced, or more enjoyable from playing one side or the other.
I'll be uploading the campaign to the repository tonight.
I'll also post up here later today a list of many of the changes I've made.
-
Here's a progress update for anyone interested.
Did a play test into 1942 and am pretty happy thus far, fixing a few balancing issues currently and adding some more decisions, National Morale events etc. That I felt should have been additions to the game as I was playing through.
Having Romania as a Major has felt right so far, if they (and their Hungarian Minor) are used as cannon fodder they will not be easily replaced. You can sometimes reach level 1 infantry prior to war with Russia but it gets pretty hard to research afterwards.
Finland has been a tough nut as they historically were concerned about recapturing territory, but I have found ways around that. 1 Big way has been a key decision event that basically has the player decide if Finland will Join the Axis or just fight their own little war with Russia.
If they join the Axis it's a double edged sword. The help they will get from Germany (MPP, units) is unrepeatable within their own resources and build limits but will also be met with contempt from the Western Allies and within their own borders.
-
There's lots of changes. I'll list a few more here since you asked! These are basically just snippets of how I approached some events:
On German Industry/Resources:
- Some expansion of Industries as the war progresses
- Oil Shortages depleting industry/MPP
- Industrial Unrest as Morale Lowers
- Allied Bombing Raids
- Possibility of Atomic Bomb Attack
On Stalingrad:
- Failure to capture Stalingrad in 1942 results in large Axis National morale losses and military loses on Stalingrad front
- AI help for Russian on Stalingrad front, (Military Forces and Stronger Scorched Earth around Stalingrad)
- Morale boosts for Axis capture of Stalingrad
North Africa:
- Germany can direct forces from the Eastern Front to Africa (Rommel, DAK)
- Italy can reinforce Africa or the mainland
- Increased Allied presence for balancing
- Italian morale tied to holding the region
Finnish Surrender:
- Finland will withdraw from the war when there National Moral falls below 1%
- Finland may withdraw from the war if it loses territories it reclaimed in the Continuation War
- Finland will surrender if conquered
-
I have completed my first ever mod, 1939 War In Europe and am currently doing a final play test. I've decided after that is finished I will upload it to the repository for any interested players.
I have made some few hundred changes to Event scripts and some AI scripts.
Finland and Romania are Axis majors in this campaign, and Poland is no longer a Major. There are also a few new historically minor countries in this campaign.
National morale plays a new larger role in this campaign, then in Storm Over Europe, and some countries have more than the regular avenue of Surrender.
There are 40+ War Entry scripts that fire at random low percentages (You may hit none or a few per game), to give them game some replay value. These are clearly labeled and can toggled off on the decision screen.
Axis and Allied AI is fully functional and updated for any changes to the campaign.
Special credit to Cantona66. Many changes were inspired by his great Mod.
-
I could probably upload it Cantona but I'm still working on some new features and some turning points in the war.
For example, the Axis are given the order to take Stalingrad at all costs during the 1942 campaign, and failure to do so results in a Loss of 20% of Morale to Germany, Romania, and Italy and Strength scripts to reduce Axis units in the areas around Stalingrad.
-
Sorry I meant Slovakia. I have Slovakia on the map as a puppet state. It has only a corps, and a decision event offering the choice to raise a second corps on the Eastern Front prior to war with Russia.
Having Slovakia on the map serves 2 purposes, it represents higher costs of outfitting a few extra units, even if it is only a few. And the extra MPP from Slovakia having a capital helps offset the fact that Hungary and Romania no longer share MPP with Germany in my mod. I changed Bulgaria back to a German minor last night.

Hey everyone!
I really like to tinker with the editor to customize the WW2 campaign. And I'm wondering what other SC players like to change? I wouldn't mind getting a few fresh new ideas to add in. I try to stick to the Storm Over Europe Campaign, as I've already done All the maintenance work of keeping the AI and Event scripts working as they originally were supposed to.
For example the Storm over Europe Mod i'm playing currently has has some significant changes such as:
- UK, France, USSR, USSA, Germany, Italy, Romania, Finland are Majors
- Hungary and Bulgaria are Romanian minor allies
- Czechslovakia is a nation and German minor ally
- New Decision events such as Rommel in Africa and Germany helping minors form (obsolete) Tank Groups
- Many War low percentage War Entry scripts
- Small National Moral for Finland and Romania
So what do you guys like to edit?
-
Actually if the Carrier is strength 5 it will have lower moral and readiness and attacks will not be as strong.
-
I had no idea it was around for that long (slaps forehead). And I thought I found something here!
-
I have recently discovered that you can choose your movement path with units. This is especially interesting with naval units, as destroyers can zig zag around the map to protect convoy lanes. How come this feature was never published? It's pretty cool, and when used with forced march on land can result in a pretty damn good scouting expedition.
-
The Storm over Europe campaign that comes with the game actually works very well with the reduces units. Although it lacks the variances, decisions and different unit types that I've come to love from your mod.
-
Hey Cantona, long time Player of your campaign. Do you think there is ever going to be a faster playing version of your Mod? By that I mean less units on the board. I don't think by simply removing extra units would balance the game it would take more. A calm before the storm with 100 units for a major instead of 200 would certainly make for a faster playing game
-
Due to time commitments that I currently have I unfortunately can not participate in the tournament. Luckily I find out sooner than later. I wish everyone luck!
-
China is a super power right now. I'll be interested in a tournament after the patch
-
What's worse for Amadeus in that particular game, is the isolation of Britain allowed for sealion in ... 1942 ! :eek:
-
Russia declared war against Japan in this case. I think I remember Hubert making a change to how the home guard works in which the event does not fire before a certain date. But I think this variable is one that should activate the event immediately.
-
-
I forget the tech situation I know I had a mix of units at different levels. What I want to know now is how did Russians land in Japan without my home reserves deploying!
-
Actually it was a fresh unit the turn I destroyed it. I should have mentioned that. I remember this particular battle very well, as victory was LONG anticipated
-
Changsha was a real chore indeed. It took constant bombardment and 5-6 infantry attacks to finally dislodge the occupier. I had reduced the Chinese army to 2 on multiple occasions and eventually it was enough to finally do the job.
-
Thanks! I was using google translate to post German as Amadeus is German, but now I've decided to post in English as well.

I would normally post an AAR on this forum but incidentally I can only provide a link if anyone is interested in following. My posts are in English.
Fall Weiss II
in Strategic Command - World War 1: The Great War 1914-1918
Posted
I have completed my 2nd mod, Fall Weiss II. I will be uploading it to the repository tonight as I've finished balancing and play testing.
Some quick notes:
- The game uses the base map from SC2 Weapons and Warfare.
- The smaller map means that the AI plays at lightning speed, and most AI turns last only 10 seconds to a 1 minute. It is pretty refreshing to play from Poland to Russia in one sitting!
- Added many of the decision events that have become mainstays on the WW2 campaigns that fit into the scale of this campaign
- Added new decision events
- National Morale features
- Expanded Naval Strategies
- Added some new countries
- Many In Game Variants for replay value
- Fighters and Carriers are back to single strike/interception
- Nearly All Battleships are 11/+1 Strength/Experience (On Map and scripted)
- All Carriers are 12/+2 Strength/Experience (On Map and scripted)
