Camo 10k Tank Icons in Minutes

2011-08-27T18:19:00.015-04:00

Auto-Skin Icons:Camouflage 10,000 Tank Icons in MinutesThe screenshot (click to enlarge it) is a quickly made pattern auto-painted onto old icons in the default sheet with no touch ups before or after so your results might be better.I will use GIMP and PGF tacicons.bmp for the example but the idea would work with a 10,000-icon sheet too.1. Make a universal camo pattern: Make a 60x50 or 50x40

Open General Tile Maps

2011-01-22T15:41:00.006-05:00

Here are custom tile sheets for the tile maps in Open General (OpenGen, OG). Procedure is to save a backup copy of the original and rename any of these as hex_text.PNG in OG\OPENGUI. Press the L keyboard button during a scenario to toggle the OG tile map (which it calls "terrain markers").OG has a display bug with road hexes, at least on my system. Look at a map or area of a map without roads

Dial-a-Scale True Range Efiles

2010-12-31T02:46:00.007-05:00

"Dial a Scale" by using efiles with "true" range in yards or meters and applying a multiplier to match an efile to a map scale."True" range might be effective range but it would be in yards or meters (or thousands of meters, 1km=1).An efile 105mm howitzer might have a range of 12,325 meters (or rounded to 12) and you could use that efile's 105mm as 1-hex range on a large map, 3-hex range on a

Terrain Layers

2010-12-15T20:07:00.011-05:00

A game would need few tiles if it rotated tiles and used a few layers.See the small tile sheet at the end (Update 12/17/10: See the 1-pixel mud/snow screenshots at the end).Rotation (Edit: or Flips)Rotation requires top view of terrain and some features (roads, rivers) "exiting" hexes at standardized points (such as 5 pixels from right hex-side edge, no matter which hex-side). Rotations to hex

Realistic PG/AG Battalions?

2010-03-18T00:53:00.006-04:00

Who Wants Realistic PG/AG Battalions?If I attempted realistic battalions for PG/AG, I would be deleting units from the standard SSI efile instead of adding units.A realistic battalion efile would have only maybe 10-20 units per country at any given time.The best German armored car in PG (SdKfz 233) was only a platoon in real life.The best Britsh D-Day tank in PG (Firefly) was only a single tank

AGW Efile for PGF

2010-03-18T00:45:00.006-04:00

AGW Efile Available for PGFThe current Allied General Workshop (AGW) efile of 1,600 units includes 31 Bf109s (like a Baskin Robbins of Messerschmitts, and I have not even gotten to the Gustavs yet), 40 different 6pdr ATG/SPAT, Bulgarian engineers, tankettes, Lees, Vultees, 251/10s, ZiS-30s, Loire-Nieuport LN.401s, panje carts, and units with new mountain or amphibious movements.Here are some

AD/AT/Recon Bargains

2010-03-18T00:35:00.006-04:00

Do You Ignore AD/AT/Recon Bargains?I find AA to be the least useful ground class but I find the often criticized AT/AD/recon to be very useful and often underpriced already (even in stock efiles).I quickly won Berlin without using any aircraft by buying nothing except recon.I also won Poland in 3 turns by buying nothing but recon.Update 7/20/10: I won the Pskov scenario (exceeded campaign Major

Add Supply Lines

2010-03-18T00:33:00.001-04:00

Add Supply LinesAn easy way to do supply lines might be to think of a friendly city as having a movement range and rate (20 wheeled) like a unit's highlighted hexes (including terrain/weather/ZOC) where any units not within the city's range get half-supply (after adjacent enemies or other current rules). That one sentence would add importance for partisans, LRDG, or bomber interdiction but not

Add Naval Night Action

2010-03-18T00:31:00.001-04:00

Add Naval Night Action I dislike PacG night turns but I like night action so I prefer adding night action to existing turns, such as Rudankort's suggestion for a third geometric plane for night aircraft would do and my ideas for night fighters/bombers did.You could allow ships (or even commandos) to have night actions in a way similar to rugged defense but there should be a method for units that

Desant Troops: Transport Types

2010-03-18T00:23:00.005-04:00

Add transport types and possibly allow transports to stay on map as separate units (like PacG aircraft carriers).Assign Certain Transports to Certain Units OnlyThe Bren carrier should not tow corps artillery at all but PG allowed anything that could tow a 37mm to tow an 8in gun. Another important factor is that even some small guns could be towed only at cart speed because of the gun carriage.

PG/AG Mod RoundupHere are some ideas from my forum discussions. You can find elaboration of some points in earlier posts on this site.Campaigns Allow any country to be a core for campaigns (Rumanian core in Ostfront campaign).Add Vichy nation.I am not familiar with how the code handles core but maybe it is possible to treat it like CSS code where the campaign refers to "core1" and the country

New Icon Ideas

2009-12-22T03:52:00.014-05:00

Here are some icon issues:Standardize icon format for compatibility between PGX and PGF, both in graphic format and in standardized unit slots (so we know #35 is Tiger I so that multiple efiles work with multiple icon sheets in multiple games)Pick a style (SSI "monochromatic" or more color? Larger aircraft icons? PG2 icons (slightly overhead view and large infantry)? Overhead view to match

Add Artillery VT Proximity Fuze

2009-12-21T01:13:00.007-05:00

Add the revolutionary VT proximity fuze to US anti-aircraft (AA), air defense (AD), and artillery (ATY) to close another startling hole in original PG/AG and Pacific General (PACG).The US secret weapon used miniature radar in a shell to tell it when to explode and OSRD's Vannevar Bush estimated that the VT improved US 5" AA effectiveness by 5x. The VT greatly increased the effectiveness of both

Fix Costs for Better AI

2009-12-18T23:35:00.014-05:00

Skewed unit cost relative to combat value can cause an AI that considers cost to perform poorly when attacking or buying so use costs that reflect combat value.Compare AGW estimates against PG unit costs:AGW...PG42.........96.....Polish cavalry99.........72.....Polish (AF) 75mm artillery78.........24.....Polish TK3 tank45.........24.....Polish (AF) 37mm ATG30.........24.....Polish infantry39.....

Add Gun/Rocket Assault Craft

2009-12-05T14:32:00.006-05:00

The Western allies developed several specialized, heavily armed landing craft for close support of amphibious landings, which you can represent as "ground"-class units that have sea movement:LCG(L)=4.7inch naval guns, 119mm is close to JagdTiger's size (tank class)LCF2 FlaK=20mm (AD class for air-defense of ground units)LCT(R)=Rockets (artillery class for support fire of ground units)

Add Realistic Spotting Ranges

2009-12-05T13:21:00.006-05:00

PG/AG give one spotting range for both air and ground spotting but PG/AG are primarily a ground war so ground spotting should trump air spotting.Most pilots are "watching their six" (back) or looking for "the Hun in the Sun" and not trying to count bayonets on the ground.Those of you who downloaded the Thanksgiving beta efile might have noticed the plane spotting=0 or 1.Possible Air Units'

Fix Rocket artillery

2009-12-05T12:59:00.005-05:00

Rockets were high-intensity "shock and awe" barrages but suffered these drawbacks when compared to conventional artillery:Long-reload times to prepare multiple barrels for next fast barrageTime to move and redeploy because the rocket trails invited fast destruction from the enemy's counter-battery fireLow ammo supply simulates both long reload time and time to redeploy within a hex.The trade-off

Add All-Terrain Truck Transport

2009-12-05T11:30:00.004-05:00

Show the important military difference in trucks by adding all-terrain trucks to organic transport.I generally treat unpowered axles (4x2, 6x4) and heavy trucks with only 4 wheels (4x4 3-ton) as "wheeled" and other all-powered axles (4x4 light/medium, 6x6) as "all-terrain."WheeledGerman Opel 6700 BlitzBritish Bedford QLT Trooper ("Drooper")Soviet GAZ AAAItalian Fiat CLAll-TerrainGerman Krupp

Realistic Bases, Builds, Spawn Sites

2009-11-20T02:48:00.011-05:00

Make reinforcements/bases/builds/spawn sites more realistic by controlling when and where players can build (especially paratroopers taking a town in enemy rear and suddenly manufacturing heavy tanks there).Ideas (not sure how many are possible with current editors):Use strategic-bomber effect to make towns owned by nobody at game start (requires infantry capture, tanks/recon/AT do not work).

Night Fighters/Bombers/Intruders

2009-11-19T10:49:00.012-05:00

Add night fighters (nachtjaegers), night bombers (nachtschlacht), night intruders, night witches, and Black Cats to PG/AG aircraft, particularly adding national flavor and historical detail to show how an underdog coped against enemy air superiority.USSR= Soviet "night witches" (female pilots of the 588th Night Bomber Regiment, later renamed 46th Taman Guards Night Bomber Aviation Regiment) were

Fix Tank Destroyers AT Penalty

2009-02-21T15:46:00.019-05:00

Anti-tank guns and tank destroyers (ATGs/TDs) were made to attack tanks but PG/AG penalizes them for doing what they were intended, by making them shoot second when attacking tanks (the AG manual says "always" but Rudankort says "almost" always).PG/AG gets TDs backwards:Makes TDs too little like a TD by giving the AT penalty in the one place it should not (attacking tanks, 'panzerjager' means '

Elite Experience/Reinforcement $

2009-02-17T11:39:00.010-05:00

General Stats suggested that experience of more than 3 stars (399 points) is unrealistic and, although I do not see the need to ban 4-5 stars, I agree that excessive stars are unrealistically easy to maintain.Elite Replacements cost 4x regular (non-elite, green) replacements, which is a reasonable penalty to maintain 1 star but far too cheap to maintain 5-star super soldiers.4-5 stars should cost

Arty's Anti-Tank, Initiative Penalty

2007-03-22T06:57:00.001-04:00

PG/AG often discounts artillery's anti-armor Hard Attack (HA) and InitiativeArtillery has the great advantage of indirect-fire, i.e. ranged-fire where range (RA) > 0. Non-artillery units have RA=0 and use direct-fire attacks that are subject to return fire/counter-attacks in the same combat resolution. In contrast, RA=1 means that the unit still must be adjacent to attack (1 hex away) but the

Prevent Super Core Units

2006-12-02T13:24:00.000-05:00

Here is my side of a past forum discussionMany players complain about unrealistic super units in “core” (the units that you carry through scenarios in a campaign). Even with alleged “low prestige” campaigns, some players claim that they can afford 4x-cost Elite replacements and the 5 turns out of battle to make 15-strength units (“overstrength,” or “OS,” makes a unit 11-15 points instead of a “

Add Toggled Air Defense to Ships

2006-11-22T18:27:00.000-05:00

Give your battleship AD/AA status on-the-fly.Others have created Air-Defense (AD) ships as separate units. However, you can use the mirror-unit method to create a toggled AD status for any ship including battleships and aircraft carriers. Simply create, say, an Iowa-class battleship as an AD class and then assign a "regular" capital-ship-class Iowa as transport to the base AD unit. You

Turn-Based V. Real-Time Games

2006-10-01T13:54:00.000-04:00

Turn-based (TB: I go. You go.) systems remain valuable. Real-time (RT) systems can provide more realism in first-person-shooter (FPS) games, from a cartoonish Rambo-style shoot-'em-up to a historical fighterplane simulation. However, RT for games where you control more than one person is problematic.One tactical WWII game with individual tanks and soldiers allowed you to "wind up" a unit with

I consolidated my thoughts with others' recent forum posts (including PG2 forums) about WWII 1930-1945 topics for Panzer General / Allied General.I would like to see a Black Sea campaign that includes the overlooked naval war of u-boats, patrol boats, and landing-craft operations.*An Indian Ocean campaign could include Singapore to Syria to South Africa and mix the Imperial Japanese Navy with the

Fix PG/AG Recon

Correct PG/AG’s mysterious lack of some of the most common and widespread recon vehicles of WWII. Note: The following unit data are provisional and based on an experimental efile with ground movement up to 10 Movement Points (MP). I generally assign “All-Terrain” movement when all axles have power. Also, these figures assume 2-hex maximum spot range for all tanks and combat aircraft unless

HE and Radios for the Red Army

2006-08-24T11:11:00.001-04:00

The best excuse for PG/AG's lack of light Soviet artillery is that the lighter guns often direct-fired because much Soviet artillery lacked radios and effective forward control but this does not justify the gaping hole in the Soviet Order of Battle (OB).The Soviets' important early lack of radios can be simulated in a few ways. For artillery, even though the 76mm field gun could outrange the

Add Mortars to PG/AG

2006-08-23T01:05:00.001-04:00

Fix Soviet artillery The WWII Red Army fielded a massive, layered array of artillery that is missing from PG/AG. The 76mm field gun became AG’s direct-fire anti-tank gun so the early Soviets unrealistically lack affordable light artillery. In reality, the Soviets made great use of mortars, Red Army doctrine authorized massing mortars from many units under a central command, and the Soviet

The Curse of Pskov

2006-08-21T03:11:00.002-04:00

I’ve won Pskov Major Victory with 1 auxiliary BT-7 as my only loss (I was robbed) and then gone to Vyazma with $2,760—but that’s campaign mode where you only need 2 German cities for a Major. In scenario mode, the best that I’ve done is holding all 3 Soviet cities while taking both German airfields and 3 out of 4 German cities but this still yields “Axis Victory.” I’ve taken either Kaunas (in the

Add Spice to "Desert" Scenarios

2006-08-11T18:38:00.002-04:00

Fix North African WeatherContrary to AG's notion that, "It never rains or snows in North Africa" (p. 21), troops slogged through the mud of Northwest Africa's rainy winter:Ah, "Venice"--a flooded American camp in 1943 Tunisia (1stfighter.org):Even in the desert, AG's "rain" can indicate the spectacular sand storms that grounded aircraft and "mud" can indicate disappeared tracks and the

Control Color Shift of Moved Units

2006-08-10T13:53:00.000-04:00

Preliminary Report:Custom icon-makers have been plagued by ugly color shifts of moved units. I did a little experimenting with the Aggens editor and it seemed that using the Allies' original greens shifted normally after movement but that using khaki or yellow-ish colors shifted to red or pink.

Allow Subs To Surface in PG/AG

2006-08-09T09:12:00.001-04:00

"Man the 88!"Most WWII submarines were usually surfaced, had deck guns, and used them. It's easy enough to create a separate "mirror" unit of the sub with surface attributes and use a scenario editor to assign a surfaced sub as "transport" to the submerged sub, allowing simple toggling back and forth during play. The surfaced sub would be faster and have surface/AA gunnery but would not be

Improving Mountain Troops

2006-08-06T16:50:00.002-04:00

The K.u.k. General WWI campaign already independently had invented the amphibious LVT idea of 2 air Movement Points (MP) to simulate fast mountain movement of mountain troops. This is a valid solution with our current editing abilities and should work fine in appropriate scenarios but if we could make a few simple edits to terrain costs we could gain the following improvements:Remove the

Napoleonic & Civil War Speed

2006-08-05T19:15:00.008-04:00

For eras before motor transport, infantry can have a normal speed that represents tactical deployments (square or skirmish line) and a "transport" representing faster but more vulnerable column marching.Purchasing column "transport" can represent a training investment in marching drill so that, say, a militia unit can stop moving like a rabble and acquire the field-march skill.Update 11/

How To Improve the AI?

2006-08-04T14:00:00.000-04:00

Dean at PG Research contends that the AI is better on large maps with many turns. If so, can we trick the AI into playing better by always using the maximum map size (but restricting movement with forts, ocean, or impassable hexes) and always using maximum turn length (even with demanding victory conditions, or by starting a "26-turn" scenario on Turn 16)?

Two versions of the same scenario: PG’s “Berlin (West)” and AG’s “Germany”Both PG and AG like to give the player(s) wonder weapons and both tilt in favor of the Germans. However, AG is the more realistic by providing “only” 2-3 jets (21 points in 3 units) and 1 King Tiger while providing some workhorse units like the Marder IIIM

New Partisan Stealth Ability?

2006-07-30T02:12:00.001-04:00

It would be interesting if partisans sometimes slipped through the fingers of attackers as U-boats do. Classifying partisans as U-boats won't work because of the lamentable restriction that only destroyers and tactical bombers may attack submarines. Intrepid programmers should leave comments here.Update 8/27/06Add Infiltration ability to Partisans, Commandos, or Japanese Infantry PG/AG

Random Start Deployments?

2006-07-25T18:53:00.002-04:00

Replayability Improvement:It's unavoidable that players remember enemy unit positions and no longer need recon for the opening moves. This unbalances replayed games against the defender even in human-opponent games and especially against the AI which is newborn and lacks past-life recon memory. It would be better if each scenario randomly selected a unit mix/deployment from at least 3 different

As far as I recall, the only scenario that I never won was Pskov as a stand-alone scenario (it's easy to hold all 3 towns but that always rates a loss and I only have been able to take a few German towns before time elapses; in campaign mode, Pskov has easier victory conditions), so if you won it please let me know what you did.This post updated 8/21/06See The Curse of Pskov for an After Action

Is Allied General Unbalanced?

2006-07-21T02:14:00.000-04:00

Allied General (AG) is unbalanced most in favor of the US and most against the Soviets, as far as the Allies go (the Brits are in the middle). Against a human opponent, AG might be unbalanced in favor of the Germans, particularly with often fanciful panzer and Luftwaffe strength. Against the computer's Artificial Intelligence (AI) opponent, AG is unbalanced in favor of the Allies. It is easy

Hello. I intend to develop equipment files or other improvements to Allied General and/or the rest of the SSI 5-Star General Series (Panzer General, Pacific General, etc.) of computer wargames --one of the best and most re-playable game series that I ever have tried. I also will discuss strategy and tactics for victory.
