I plan to go over these changes and other fine points of the game when we have our first Teams meeting. If you want to join us, just send me your email address. I will send you a Team link, date and time soon.
The scenario editor/builder was released several versions back, along with all of the text files. What version on you on? Current 1.0.11.
Potential Code Changes Under Analysis:
10. HQ effective range penalties
We have not heard from Ron since June 26th. Four months! I sincerely hope he is ok and well. You never know in these times.
Was thinking about adding code to allow the player to select ArmyGroup/Front or Army or Corps to be displayed, instead of just all HQ units. What do you guys think?
From the few scenarios I've tried, the problem seems to be with the Russian units, the Western allies and axis units all attack ok
I believe I have figured it out. I opened the scenario I was having trouble with. In the upper left corner, I clicked on Edit. In Activation and Politics, I checked Russia. Now it appears to work.
Hello,
I have made some changes in order to produce a version 1.0.12A. I believe I have sent all of the requesters the new link, but if you did not receive me, just send me an email at schwerpt@gmail.com and I will reply with the download link.
The version 12A deletes the Country Activation and politics capability for now. I need to go back to the requirements and design to get that right. The country activation had issues with the AI, and the Politics had issues with the supply and AI.
Version 12A incorporated many changes in the scenarios, primarily in the number of attacks and the replacements. Special thanks to Mere Nick (not at all mere) and Schwerpunkt Valencia for their feedback.
As always, look forward to your feedback. I have already started working on version 1.0.13, in particular scenario #81.
Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and have a Happy and prosperous New Year.
Ron
Hello,
I am continuing to work on the game and am almost complete with Scenario #81. I have spent some time with studying the code.
v1.0.12a continues to be the latest version. Please send me an email if you want that link. I'll find you in my database.
I am targeting end of summer for another release.
Hope all are doing well,
Ron
Hello,
Putting finishing touches to scenario #81 East Front - Winter offensive 1943-1944, which will be done this weekend. After that, next step is scenario #88 East Front Summer/Fall offensive 1944 which is partially done. I plan to release a new version of WWII-E for the holiday season with these two scenarios. That will complete 95 of planned 101 scenarios, and it completes all of the Russian Front scenarios. Six remaining will be 26, 33, 95, 98, 100, and 101.
Hope everyone is doing well. I continue to work my day job which takes a lot of my time. I do find myself doing more development during the winter months where I have to stay inside. I also do my wargaming during those months!

Zovs, glad to hear you survived. Those are not good odds. Take good care of yourself. I am fortunate to continue to have good health.
Agent Smith, thanks. Always glad to hear from you.
Ron
I observed the 9th anniversary of the initial release of World War II Europe yesterday. It gave me pause. I had planned to retire 7 years ago to focus on completing the game, but am still working my day job which limits progress. A different set of life circumstances has prevailed that I could not predict. But, it is all good. I like where I am at today, and 2024 holds the promise of being even better.
Scenario #81 is complete and tested. I am still working on #88, but it is a large scenario and I doubt it will be finished soon. These 2000 unit scenarios take time. I do plan to release a version of WWII-E before Christmas which will include #81. That leaves 7 scenarios to go. I do have a person who might do some data entry for me in 2024.
Hope everyone is doing well. I have some time off at the end of the year, and do plan to work on the game then.
All the best,
Ron
