I have 2 scenarios ready to go, one is co-op vs the AI needing 3-5 players and the other is PvP needing a minimum of 6 players.

Mr. Digby Tue Jul 19, 2016 4:39 pm

Game today perchance? I have a PvP that needs 6 but nothing vs the AI set up.

Uncle Billy Tue Jul 19, 2016 6:32 pm

I can play today. I have a PvAI that I made for yesterday's get together.

Guest Tue Jul 19, 2016 6:39 pm

I can be there are we using your new mods?

Mr. Digby Tue Jul 19, 2016 6:46 pm

I will be

Uncle Billy Tue Jul 19, 2016 11:46 pm

Two humiliating defeats in a row. How many more can we take? I'm feeling rather used. pale

Guest Tue Jul 19, 2016 11:59 pm

You changed jobs, I guess the milkmaid business is not so good afterall.

Hey, Ian here. Essentially, my computer is broken at the moment, and it's getting fixed at the shop. I'm sure when it will be back, but I was told it will be back sometime this week. I'm not gone or anything, so don't worry about that! I will be up soon being the meatshield of Morsey's divisions Smile

Uncle Billy Wed Jul 20, 2016 1:10 am

Well Mike certainly could use one. Shocked

Guest Wed Jul 20, 2016 1:41 am

Ian please hurry back. You have been greatly missed by me.

Sincerely,
Meanshield
manager

alexman142 Wed Jul 20, 2016 3:40 am

I'll be back soon!

As for the last battle I fought, I actually commanded a division. That was the first time I did so in the saddle; I have done full army scenarios, but I never commanded anything bugger than a brigade in the saddle. It was quite fun! Disorienting, but fun! I look forward to doing that again!i
Just don't have me take a wooded hill, and face a counter-attack again. That was not fun Very Happy

Mr. Digby Wed Jul 20, 2016 8:57 am

Any task near to Morsey's or Kevin's troops isn't fun.

Guest Wed Jul 20, 2016 12:45 pm

Ian the last 2 battles have had hills that were needed to be taken. The first one I attempted I made it to just about the very top only to be run off by a hoard of Russian Guard CAV. The second one was held by a never ending supply of the British Army.

You can assured that you will be assigned the next hill if when you are under my command again. affraid

Guest Wed Jul 20, 2016 1:38 pm

The Battle that never would have happened.

Northern England 1809

Somewhere in northern unprotected England the French after a bold attempt at crossing the channel made a foothold on the Northern English Coast and pushed inland and is occupying areas close to the Scottish Border for the last 6 months. There supplies are dwindling and troops number are falling due to a shaky LOC. Russia had promised the King of England that they would attack the French in northern England if the English supplied the transportation. The English came through and a Russian Army of about 30,000 troops have landed. The british have asked you to take the cross roads and high ground in Liberty Springs so the door can be slammed on the remaining French Army. In this twist of history the Russian are more then happy to oblige in hopes they may keep what they get regardless of what the English want.

That map won't work with the Nappy mod. There is no command map and the map csv file needs changes to be made.

Guest Wed Jul 20, 2016 2:19 pm

Sheesh I will do another then! LOL

Guest Wed Jul 20, 2016 2:30 pm

I used the 10 Mile Germ map but we can keep this map up for a reference. Also can you instruct me how to fix the Cav commander name error for this scenario.

And to make the CAV into larger SQN's too.

Uncle Billy Wed Jul 20, 2016 2:36 pm

If you use the 10 mile German map, all will be fine. Using the ACW version is where the problem would occur.

To fix the problem of not having a proper cavalry division commander, go to the line in scenario.csv that contains the commander. In column K change INF to CAV. In column Q replace the formation with DRIL_Lvl4_Cav_Column.

If you used the SQN OOB by mistake and want to change the cavalry squadrons into regiments, add all the sqn. strength up for each regiment, (col. R) and put the total in cell R of the 1st sqn. Now delete the other squadrons. If there are 2 or more regiments in the brigade, do that for each one. When finished renumber the regiments in col. J so they are in numeric order. For example, col. J for the brigade might have 1 4 6. Change that to 1 2 3.

Guest Wed Jul 20, 2016 2:37 pm

Thanks!!

Are you giving me hard time since I found rare footage of your dance recital?

Guest Wed Jul 20, 2016 3:03 pm

In column "Q" there is only numbers.

Guest Wed Jul 20, 2016 3:11 pm

I re did the scenario with the right CAV set up and was able to change the name in column "K" so we should be good to go. MAYBE??

Uncle Billy Wed Jul 20, 2016 3:32 pm

In column "Q" there is only numbers.

Sorry, column U.

Guest Wed Jul 20, 2016 3:38 pm

I think I have gotten it all figured out, many thanks to you.

If not you can fix the mess you got me into!

Uncle Billy Wed Jul 20, 2016 3:49 pm

It's what I do best. Sad

Mr. Digby Wed Jul 20, 2016 3:56 pm

Be aware this is a 10 mile map so 4x the area we usually use. With red forces at the south edge and blue where they are we'll need 2 hours just to get into contact, maybe more. I'd recommend using a 5 mile map or starting the forces much closer together, say at least half as far apart.
