F 40 Gold oversight

[Mike Prucha]

Hi all,

So first off - know that this issue is being fixed in the forthcoming update.

In the short term, there are a few different workarounds for this. Unless you are playing with with PBEM encryption, in which case I don't think there is much you can do.

First, open the .bte file with Notepad. We are going to be pasting a line of text into two different locations.


Here is the command for a triggered release of French 51st Infantry Division:

3 1940 5 10 4 100 155527 1

The three numbers in red are the date and time (M/D/H). Change these to your next upcoming turn. Since the command is triggered, it should work even if the time & date are off.

Search for "PEM Header." This section shows  This should actually be the first line of text. Then scroll down to the releases section. These are entries that start with the number "3." Because it is the campaign, you will have to scroll awhile. Paste the amended line of text anywhere in this PEM Header release section. Note that pasting an incomplete command, or posting in another section (so in the 2s, or 4s, etc) will cause the game to crash.

Now search "PEM Middle." Scroll down to find the releases (3s), and paste the line of text into that section.

Assuming the time and date are right, the 51st Infantry Division should be released on your next turn, or, if they aren't, they should be released when spotted.

If this doesn't work, there are a couple of other ways around this, both of which are bit more tedious.

Again, if you are playing with PBEM encryption, there is nothing that can be done.
