Robert Olesen Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 or rather here: www.roqc.cdgroup.org Edit November 7th 2004: v1.12 is out - look below or at the ROQC site. It's basically the same as 1.00e with a few error corrections, and a couple of options thrown in (so that you can increase the battle frequence and play with mor earmor if you prefer that). Oh yes, I also added some support for the newbies who are overwhelmed by the size of this. It ought to be simpler to get started now. And I added some suggestred campaigns, so the newbies have something to start from. I'll update the CMBB version with these options, then take a break from this for a while. I'll do error corrections, but don't expect to do much in the way of feature additions for a while. It's pretty complete as it is anyway. Have fun :cool: [ November 07, 2004, 12:28 PM: Message edited by: Robert Olesen ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Olesen Posted February 29, 2004 Author Share Posted February 29, 2004 I made it for the enjoyment of myself and others, and because I lacked this aspect of the game. The original free-style SP campaign was a major inspiration. I spent a lot of time with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Olesen Posted March 1, 2004 Author Share Posted March 1, 2004 The spreadsheet for version 1.00 didn't allow you to start a campaign in East Africa until September 1940. This has been corrected in 1.01 (get it here: http://www.roqc.cdgroup.org/CMAK.html) The rules still show version 1.00 as they have not been changed. The suggested campaign are not updated either, as they do not take place in East Africa. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Olesen Posted March 3, 2004 Author Share Posted March 3, 2004 There's a problem with the spreadsheet once you hit a month with an "S" operational order. "F" may cause problems too, but it shouldn't cause a VB error like S does. I'll post a fix asap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Olesen Posted March 4, 2004 Author Share Posted March 4, 2004 The error mentioned above was rather serious, so here is v1.02. I took the opportunity to add a small adjustment to the difficulty die roll modifier. You should be OK if you update after the current battle. Changes from version 1.00 Error corrections: - The date check in the Control Sheet didn't allow campaigns in East Africa to start before September 1940 (was fixed in 1.01) - Use of the "S" Operational Order Table caused a VB script error Changes: - Enemy Force Handicap adjusted to make battles where you defend harder at higher difficulties.

Blazing 88's Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 The American Campaigns - First Blood spreed sheet doesn't download. Gives a page not found error. The rest download fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazing 88's Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 When transfering the info from the previous version spreedsheets do you have to copy paste value for each catagory seperately or can I select a bunch or all and copy paste value that way? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Olesen Posted March 5, 2004 Author Share Posted March 5, 2004 First Blood downloads now. It was a missing . in the filename reference. You can paste a range of cells if they don't overlap protected cells, For example C28:C32 in the control sheet, but not C26:C32 - or B9:J17 in the Core Force Sheet, but not B9:M17 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishra Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Yup, just reading through the rules to get familiar enough to start a campaign. I remember when I was playing Panzer General II (my first wargame) and one of my favorite aspects was developing a core force throughout a campaign. I know it's not entirely historicaly accurate, but it really adds to the immersion factor. Looking forward to starting up my first campaign soon! I'll let you know how it goes.

Robert Olesen Posted July 10, 2004 Author Share Posted July 10, 2004 I got an annoying error report in the CMAK version, so I naturally had to fix it: - Fixed error in calculation of months to next battle for Italian campaign after 1943 I threw in a small correction of minor significance on the History sheet. Get v1.03 here: http://www.roqc.cdgroup.org/CMAK.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishra Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Hello again, Well I figured out the rules, its like you said. The first setup takes a while but after that everything makes sense. I'm pretty much doing the Deutches Afrika Korps campaign, but I chose PzKw IIIH's instead of G's. On my third battle right now. Seems like some pretty interesting situations come up, for example, I had an Exploit battle with me as an Italian Mechanized division (plus my core units) against an infantry only British division in rural arid rock desert (early morning with fog so visibility was around 100m). Obviously not a hard battle, but it didn't take long and it was interesting to see how overpowering even crappy Italian tanks are against unsupported infantry. Thanks again RobO, really enjoying this. Fishra 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Olesen Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 I have a new beta version available with several good changes: - Snipers added as separate unit category (SN, see 5.3.1) with separate experience rules so that they have a better chance of gaining experience. - Returning casualties modified to take into account the number of flags you hold at the end of the battle. - The ability to use Favor to modify the battle size has been changed into an ability to use Favor to get more support (which you buy in the editor, so it is on top of the QB purchase). - Enemy Force Handicap increased for Meeting Engagements at Normal difficulty and above. - Tree Coverage, Hills and Damage modifiers increased for Raids to give a higher chance of terrain with cover. - Favor calculation for Raids changed to start with negative Favor, which is then offset by accomplishing the mission. - You now get a small number of replacements as a minimum after each battle. Tell me if you're interested in trying it out. Make sure to specify which version you want (CMBB or CMAK) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Olesen Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 Version 1.10 is out. There are a number of changes, summing up to a total effect that had me wondering if this should have been 2.0 instead of 1.1. I highly recommend an update if you're using ROQC. Get it at http://www.roqc.cdgroup.org/ Here's the change list: Snipers added as separate unit category (SN) with separate experience rules so that they have a better chance of gaining experience. Returning casualties modified to take into account the number of flags you hold at the end of the battle. The ability to use Favor to modify the battle size has been changed into an ability to use Favor to get more support (which you buy in the editor, so it is on top of the QB purchase). Enemy Force Handicap increased for Meeting Engagements at Normal difficulty and above. Damage modifier added for Raids to give a higher chance of terrain with cover. Favor calculation for Raids changed to start with negative Favor, which is then offset by accomplishing the mission. You now get a small number of replacements as a minimum after each battle. You are now required to edit the ammo setting of exploiting units down to 20%. Options to disable Raid and Retreat battles added. You can use Pyewackets map converter to import an existing map instead of generating a random one. There is currently no help in ROQC for CMAK for finding a proper map, like there is in the CMBB version. Stay tuned for an update. You can now issue a few commendations to those units that performed exceptionally well in your opinion, providing them with some extra experience points at the cost of a few favor points. Experience gained form casualties/captured adjusted a bit. Medal requirements increased ca. 10% to compensate for the two experience additions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazing 88's Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 DAK - PzIIIH's is what I am doing right now as well Fishra. I am Having lots of success lately, but I am starting to feel the Allied air force flex it's musle. Got caught not having any AAA purchased (haven't needed it til now... D'oh!). lucked out and only received one casualty from the air attacks after a mass scramble in open terrain. Hopefully no more to follow. Question Do I edit the favor to a certain max / min if above or below? Or just accept the Excel sheet's calculations? I am going to re-read the rules on this to see if it makes sense to me, but I thought I would ask anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Olesen Posted October 25, 2004 Author Share Posted October 25, 2004 Blazing 88's, I need more info to understand the question. I'd expect the spreadsheet to be correct, but it isn't perfect (it's close, though ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Olesen Posted October 26, 2004 Author Share Posted October 26, 2004 There's a small error in the British division type availability table, the row for December 1942 is missing. You can find the correct table here: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Olesen Posted October 28, 2004 Author Share Posted October 28, 2004 Had to release version 1.11 for CMAK because I got a relatively serious bug report. Changes from Version 1.10: The “Always Fight with Own Division” option didn’t work in 1.10. The British division type availability table corrected. I have not had time to update the campaign examples. Get it at http://www.roqc.cdgroup.org/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardaukar Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Rob, Since infantry attacks over open terrain in daylight are very easy to repulse in desert...and those were very rare in history just for thatreason...so I have a suggestion: AI should get most of it's infantry-only attacks at night if the terrain is treeless and relatively flat.
