Chronicles of V Panzer Army

[Von Earlmann]

Hi VE,

Thanks for letting us know, I just completed my first turn as Allies in Chronicles 1 and will now wait until you have updated the OOB's before I try again. I am looking forward to playing through the entire campaign.

Please keep us updated as to the availability of the updated OOB's.

Actually I think this one is prettty balanced as it is........been played a lot and is a good fight for both sides.

Regarding files, here's a snippet from an *.ORG file:

B114204 685 7 303. Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung
P1305 686 7 303. Panzerabwehr-Abteilung HQ
P1406 687 7 Major Winnefeld
C104206 688 7 1. Panzer-Sturmgeschützkompanie
P1022 690 7 I. Zug
P1022 691 7 II. Zug
P1022 692 7 III. Zug
End
C104207 698 7 3. Sturmgeschützkompanie
P1023 703 6 I. Zug
P1023 704 6 II. Zug
End
End
End

EDIT: Blitz web page removes the leading white space. :rolleyes: In reality these are nicely indented for your reading pleasure!

StuGs (P01022) and StuHs (P01023) are shown without a leading zero from German country code '01'.

Should I want to change the unit without the Org editor I would just replace the P1022 with let us say P1930 (P01930) for a Jagdpanzer IV.

Similarly, in *.SCN file, I would locate them as follows:

0 14 24 1631 364 4 8 2 100 4 0 0 3 3 3
0 14 25 1215 358 4 8 5 100 4 0 0 3 3 3
0 14 25 1022 696 4 4 3 100 7 0 0 3 3 3
0 15 24 1111 342 4 4 2 100 4 0 0 3 3 3
0 15 24 1832 345 4 2 3 100 4 0 0 3 3 3
0 16 10 1303 271 4 4 3 100 4 0 0 3 3 3
0 16 10 1408 272 4 2 3 100 4 0 0 3 3 3
0 16 11 1133 1011 4 4 3 100 6 0 0 3 3 3
0 16 11 1292 1015 4 2 3 100 6 0 0 3 3 3
5 16 17 25 1
0 16 28 1023 703 4 4 2 100 6 0 0 3 3 3

...and replace them with unit symbols I would like to use.

Again, depending whether you just want to change some units this could be an option, but for a more complete overhaul the use of editors would be more feasible I guess.

yeah, I was thinking of using this option as any changes to the units will show up in the scenario without actually having to change anything....either way will take time but that's ok........trouble is I have been balancing the scenarios with the existing units and 1st Chronicles is actually pretty good It hink as far as balance. Other thing that throws off the balance is using the armor facing rule.....they were all designed to use EA on and AF off anf using AF will swing the balance a bit towards the German side.......but just a bit.

I am still working on the scenarios and probably the easiest way is to just try and balance them with the existing units.

Thanks for the tips. Something to ponder during the winter doldrums :-)
