  1. I was able to accomplish what I wanted by adding a vehicle column composed of infantry units to chief.ini in my HSFX install. After adding my new vehicle column to gunits.dcg, DCG was able to process the infantry unit's fate as it should. So it can be done with a bit of effort.
  2. Thanks for the replies. I thought that might be the case. Yes I am using the HSFX mod. All of the newer mod packs include infantry units. I still want to carry on with my infantry experiment. I want to see where units will respawn if their position is overrun.
  3. I found a early post that recommended adding Infantry units to Armor.dcg. That sounded hopeful so I tried that. Still infantry losses are not reflected when new mission is generated. Maybe DCG is not set up to do this for infantry, if not this would be my feature request.
  4. I an experiment I added Japanese infantry columns in Lonestar's Solomons campaign. Using the timetable, units were created at Tassafaronga Point, from there waypoints take them to Mount St. Austen followed by Kukum on the way to Henderson Field. All went as planned initially, after a few missions I realized that losses to infantry units are negated when the next mission is created. So I have a situation where all infantry units come back in the next mission at full strength even if they were completely destroyed in the previous mission. Of course with regular columns, destroyed vehicles remain destroyed and destroyed columns wait for a transport to redeploy. If anyone who has tried to integrate infantry units into campaigns has an idea about what I am missing, I would appreciate it.
  5. Thanks, I think I found what I need. Been away from DCG for a while doing modding stuff. I have better computer than I did the first time around with DCG allowing me to use full squadron density. The campaigns seem to flow much better at this setting and I am quite hooked. Thanks for your great program.
  6. Is it possible to design a DCG campaign using a new (modded map) by altering the user accessible dcg files? I suspect that the answer is no. If maps are coded in the actual DCG program, would it be possible to break the map list out the the hardcoded program and create some sort of user accessible file? Probably not that simple, just wondering.
