I had some ideas on how to get the US AI to better fight German U boats and send more transports to Europe. I cam up with the idea of adding more cities on the easter seaboard of the the US by adding Charleston , Wilmington , and Norfolk. In addition to un land locking Philadelphia I think this will greatly help the US AI.

Here is a list of what I did.
1.[Tweaked Libya] Put 1 Fortress unit in Tripoli. Moved the Fortress unit in Tobruk to Benghazi.
Gave Tobruk a barracks and city walls. Added Tripoli Wonder with air trade to get oil to Italy.[Moved the Libya oil into Tripoli.]
2.[Cut cities and added cities also renamed a few] Cut the following cities to free up slots.[ Puerto Acre,Olenek,Vorkuta,Nordvik ,Norilsk, Fort Chipewyart, Broken Hill, Gao, Teffe, and Verchojansk.]
Added the following cities [ Midway,Carajas,Norfolk,Wilmington, Cebu,Charleston, Palau,Wake,Tarawa,Dunquerque,Cherbourg,Dover, and Thessaloníki. Renamed [Soloman Islands to Guadalcanal, Radom to Krakow , Bagdad to Baghdad , Namur to Bastogne, and Kuweit to Basra]
3.[Tweaked Airforces] 2 ME 109s to Yugoslavia. 2 ME 109s to Switzerland . 2 ME 109s to Romania. 1 ME 109 to Hungary.
1 ME 109 to Bulgaria. Replaced Spain's Fighter and bombers with 1 ME 109 and 2 HE 111s. 1 Fighter to the Netherlands.
1 Gladiator to Belgium. 1 Gladiator to Greece. 1 Gladiator in Egypt. 1 Gladiator in Iraq. 2 I15s to natl china 1 to commie china.
4.[BEF]Added an accurate representation of the initial BEF that was created on 22nd February 1939 and deployed on the outbreak of war to France. Moved 4 Brit Infantry 1939 from UK to Dunquerque. Added 1 Brtish tank Brigade to represent the force of 50 light tanks. Also moved 1 flak and 1 artillery from the UK to Dunquerque. Added 2 Gladiators in Dunquerque. Added 4 Hurricanes to Dunquerque.
5.[Timed War triggers] Added new unit called declare war invisible and imolble def 1 atk 0. This will have a controlled sub bug effect. The timed war triggers.[Germany vs Russia week 87 aka june 15. Germany vs Norway Denmark week 33 aka April 9 1940. War v Yugoslavia week 79 war v greece week 81]
6.[Tweaked Poland]1 Light tank to Poland 1 sub to Poland. Named all the polish ships.
7.[Victory locations]Added victory locations in Manila,Cebu,Davao,Palau,Tarawa,Palembang,Batavia,
Singapore,Wake,Midway,Tunis,Tripoli,Benghazi,Tobru k,Alexandria,Cairo,Suez,Gibraltar.
Hong Kong,Portsmouth,Palermo,Malta,Casablanca,London,Cherbourg,Algiers,Banjarmasin,Makassar,Naples,Plymouth,Oslo,Dunquerque,and Paris.
THE VICTORY LOCATIONS WILL HAVE NICE EFFECT ON THE AI.
8.[Terrain tweaks]Unlandlocked Philadelphia,Anchorage, and Riga. Cut off
the tip of Dennmark @X194Y50 so sweden cant block the way to Norway.
9.[German tweaks] Germany cant produce 88s Cologne wonder auto produces them every 4 turns.

00 to 250.[This is to represent the large investment needed to make large amounts of AAA.]
13.[Mines]Mines get 20 HP bonus AI will not charge them.
14.[Misc]Added mines west of Malmo so sweden cant attack Copenhagen. Hungary Infantry @X205Y85 is owned by Germany I fixed that now owned by Hungary. Got rid of 1 cattle 25 North of Freiburg and 1 NW of Stuttgart.[There is too much food in this Area.]

I am going to add more french tanks in my mod any ideas on stats for the
char B. Also any other French tanks you guys think would be a good addition?

 

[psweetman1590]

The Char B was the really big, heavy one, right? Stats slightly superior to the pzIII, I suppose, but very expensive.

 

[Adler17]

Frnch tanks should not only cost more, but also should have no blitz, too.

Adler

 

[Baldurslayer]

Char B1 bis
armour at 60 mm
47 mm SA 35 gun

Char B1 ter
sloped armour at 70 mm
47 mm SA 35 gun

Matilda II
armour at 78 mm
40 mm gun

Char B1 (unified 1940 version), very expensive tank with almost as good defensive stats as the Matilda II. Adler's idea to take away the blitz seems to be prudent.
After all some of the French tanks could "only" be destroyed by Stukas or 88s

The French also loved lots of light tanks

 

[Equuleus]

Char B bis Tech 1940 land Attack 21 Defense 15 Movement 2 & blitz
How does that sound.
And maybe make the Char B ter 1941 tech.

 

[Equuleus]

What do you guys think of these tanks? FCM F1, ARL 40, Char G1, S 40, SAu 40 and ARL 44

 

[vanilla81]

Thank you for a fantastic scenario. Is there any short version of this scenario guys. I mean to reduce load times.

Thank you.

 

[psweetman1590]

I don't think the Char B Bis should have blitz. The French didn't understand the theory of concentration of armor in the beginning of the war, I don't think...

vanilla81,

Thank you.
I am glad to hear that you like the scenario.

On a short version.

Its very hard to make a short version of this type of scenario.

psweetman1590,

For sure you are right.

When the war started not one single French armoured division existed.

French strategy had total focus on defense.

The military establishments (outside Germany) did not thought
Blitzkrieg was possible before September 1939.

Even in Germany, it was a pretty close call, most generals were against having tanks as seperate divisions. Except for Guderian and Rommel of course, and they convinced Hitler. This was one of the reason so many generals were plotting to get rid of Hitler, because he never listened to what his generals said. Unfortunately, Hitler kept being in the right, every single time the generals said something was impossible to do, and they never got to dethroning him. (Also because the British didn't believe them, when they tried to make contact, and looked for support in England)

By the way, in France, Charles de Gaulle was a big enthusiast on seperate tank divisions, but nobody listened to him. This gave him an " I told you so" advantage over other political/military leaders after the war. Anyway, instead of tank divisions, the french army, and the rest of the world for that matter, at first still clung to the original idea of having tanks as support units for the infantry. There were no major tank only battles in the second world war, until the attack on the Soviet Union, and that gave the Germans a huge advantage even though French tanks outnumbered German ones by a huge amount, not quite sure of the exact numbers right now. Also French tanks were slow, huge, big targets, that had a bunch of cannons, for sure, but were not as agile as the German Panzerbrigades, and this also gave them a disadvantage.

Now, how this plays into the game, I think the French tanks are a little too strong. They really should only have one movement, as they are really only there to support infantry in their attacks, and their attack might be a little too strong, too, I think, but that's for you to decide. Also, considering the Panzer IV was started to be built in 1936, I think a weaker version should be available at the start of the war as well. The Panzer IVf1 was also mainly for supporting the infantry, only later versions became main battle tanks. Accordingly it should be a little weaker than the Panzer III. But then again, the Panzer IIIs really are enough I guess, you can't put every single unit in the game.

It is too bad that you cant give certain units an advantage over certain other units, this would work especially well with these infantry support tanks.

That is one way to go.
However I think the current solution works rather well.
That is:

By the time France is able to build an armoured offensive force
the Battle for France will already have been decided.

I consider that as realistic.


Rocoteh

 

[slash667]

Yeah, I guess you are right, but I still think they should have only 1 movement.

To Rocoteh

I have a problem DLing this scenario. I can't use 3D Downloads because I need to open cookies use it. I have a bug
on my PC, It causes it to crash when I try to use Cookies.So can you maybe temporarily upload the sceanario to
another website. I would really like to play WW2-Global.

Sincerely Redwallfortress

 

[Equuleus]

I have never heard of a bug like that.
It sounds like you have a virus.
DL AVG & Avast those are both good anti virus programs.
And remember to update them before you do a scan.
You can find them here.
