Cantona66 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 1938 Calm Before the Storm v1.0 Now i have moved my mod from Global Gold to WW1 Breakthrough, most of it is the same as before but i have made a few hundred changes. I have tried to remove some garrison and division units to have a little less units on the map also. This mod is actually not much alternate history, most of the decisions/actions is historically or at least they where planned but not executed and then there are a few that is fantasy altogether. It happened a lot the year before the war started. There also 2 more zip files to download and unzip the content into the Media catalouge. Please enjoy and give feedback for improvements!

comsolut Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Glad to hear you are enjoying it! Played one year so not quite to Poland yet, and may be awhile before I get further into the campaign. I remember trying the campaign in Global War and enjoying the options to focus on building Germany for WWII. Regards the Breakthrough Version (and assuming I installed all the files correctly: The MAP is very detailed and the scale is enjoyable. All the decision events are GREAT - particularly the maps and pictures. Brings the events to life, so to speak. The turns work well, weekly in summer and two weeks spring and fall, but I wonder how the Russian War will feel, when the Russian used the Winter to launch their major campaigns. Of note - I had trouble with the Czechoslovakia decision - for four turns in row it said Czech surrenders but they were not absorbed by Germany. Finally I just declared war and had a nice small campaign eliminating their army. Again, thanks for the effort you put into this campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantona66 Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Thanksd for the info, and i also like the media to bring it to life so to speak. Strange about the Czech decision, so you chose go to war and not to annex it right? and that did not work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange about the Czech decision, so you chose go to war and not to annex it right? and that did not work? Just kept getting the message Czech Surrenders but it never became German territory. Don't remember if a decision triggered it, but it started poping up four turns in a row so I simply declared war, fought for two weeks, captured the capital, and this time they really did surrender and become part of German territory.

crispy131313 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantona66 Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Crispy, yes i know, but that would be difficult to remove half of all units, too much space and countries to cover, it would mean very open spaces if i had armies instead of corps, just to man the siegfried/maginot lines, so i do not think i will do that, but it would be very easy for any other modder to do it, feel free! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantona66 Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 I have given it some thougt and maye i could change the USSR special forces to Armies and have armies, corps and some divisions for USSR. My mod is mostly designed to play as Axis some many Axis troops does not slow the AI as much as many Allies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy131313 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preusse Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 The ctg files seem to be missing when I download the mods (both of them). Am I doing something wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
