Status: offline 		I have just spotted a problem with the new 'fields' graphic on the snow maps. The snow version of the graphic is in place, but for some reason it's not showing up.

Apologies for this. I will try to figure it out tomorrow.

EDIT

It's tomorrow and it's still an issue. Vic is away and I need guidance from him, so if you get to Autumn/Winter in the game before I patch it, the fields hexes will not show mud or snow.

EDIT 2 - fixed!

This is now corrected in version 5.1 which is uploading to the DL thread as I type.

Looking forward to this mod.

Yes, those were two of the main things that got me going on the Mod.

It's currently on version 5.1 and you can download it here: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3147536

There are a few minor bugs I am aware of, but I am still figuring out how to fix them.

I have to laugh sometimes :)

All mods are optional, but the hit counters are always a good indicator of the general level of interest, and that's what keeps me interested and inspired.

Mod updated to 5.2. Includes updated scenarios for DCCB Version 1.02 in PZKRG format - single hex cities, but otherwise all the 1.02 OOB changes are maintained.

It's great that you can mix and match things and get it just the way you like it. I appreciate all you modders work....so thank you.

Yea don't mind people who just like to complain. If they want to do it themselves they are welcome. As for me i'm not a fan of the german sounding units just because i get confused with that stuff easy. It's my own stupidity. I'd never bash someone work though. I'm sure i'll hear complains that my War In Europe map is not 100% accurate. It can always be improved...but i'm the one who's put months into making the damn map and scen so haters can bite me. Just remember haters gonna hate.

Status: offline 		Just wondered why you use 1 hex city? When say a city like Stalingrad was 45 km long?

Also I have a graphic anomaly both in close in zoom and furthest out zoom..I'm new to the game so bear with me, when you click on a unti and it shows a radius of different coloured hexes will they seem to be slightly out of synch with the hex..

I love your units and the map colours..but I think I will leave the map mods mainly because I'm not to keen on the forest icon nor on one hex cities. So do you have an older version of the map mod that works that uses the OCS colour scheme but with bigger than one hex cities and the old forest icon? Sorry to eb a pain. Or what part of the mod should I install if I just want the counters and BW photos?

I heavily use Redmarkus' map mod, and a bit of the other peoples. Then I did some changes of my own.

It bothered me that the rivers were hard to differentiate. There are 4 types (with the Volga being it's own type)...Major, Medium, and minor...so I changed the graphics so I can see them easier.

The city thing bugged me as well, when I attacked a hex of Rostov thinking it was clear, when instead it was urban....so I gave all the city hexes a darker shade of grey. You can see what I have done here:

You only get the one hex cities if you use my edited ('PZKRG') scenarios - it's just an option. Stalingrad on my modded map is represented by more than one hex to reflect its massive size - Stalingrad N, South, etc. However, very few 1942 cities were more than 10k across.

If you use the map mod and play the vanilla scenarios, the city sizes are also vanilla.

Unfortunately the forests are changed whichever scenario you use.
