Decisive Campaigns: Case Blau

[Philippe]

DCCB will be available on Steam starting May 7, so in anticipation I've put together a Steam version of the Historical Flags and Symbols mod.

You can find a link to it in one of my earlier posts here,  or in the thread at the Matrix website, or in the thread at the Wargamer website (which is so useless at this point I don't know why I bother), or at the Steam forum for DCCB (where it seems to be the only post).

Because I haven't actually had a chance to examine the Steam version yet I'm guessing that the install path will be similar to the install paths for all the other Steam games I've seen.  This isn't a slam dunk guess, because Pike and Shot's steam version uses an ampersand, so who knows what will happen here.

In any case, if the Steam version of my mod doesn't do what it's supposed to when Steam DCCB sees the light of day, somebody send me an e-mail and I'll do the needful.

And one last note.

This is most certainly NOT a Steam Workshop mod, and after the shenanigans Valve is pulling it never will be.

The problem of the damage that Valve is doing is not addressed by not buying a mod if you don't want to.  The damage is done to all mods be they free or for sale, and it comes from adding the issue of potential litigation (not to mention someone stealing your mod and selling it on Valve).  Adding ambulance chasers and corporate legal departments with nothing better to do than chase down people who like to share their adaptions is going to make everyone think twice before disseminating a mod.

...here we go again...blaming lawyers for all the woes of the world. 

Still, thanks for all the work you've done with your great mod.

MY lawyer is just fine, it's all the other lawyers that are the problem!  ;D

Never say never.



The DCCB Historical Flags and Symbols mod has been updated to version 1.3.


The change is pretty minor, and only effects the non-swastika part of the mod.


The non-swastika part now uses the same German flags and roundel as the DCWtP mod.

I've changed my mind about Romania, so the DC:CB links in this post will now take you to the regular and Steam versions of version 1.4 of the mod.  Romania now uses King Michael's warflag instead of the plain tricolor.

Thanks Philippe. I downloaded both the DCCB and the DCWtP mods.

Like you I have no problem with German units having the historical German flag, as I prefer historicity to political correctness. It seems pretty hypocritical that while Germany and Poland both ban representations of the Swastika, they don't also ban the hammer and sickle, for essentially the same reasoning.

It doesn't mean I endorse the Nazi's, any more than I endorse the Soviets as they were both pretty equivalent on their scale of atrocities - the Soviets perhaps more so, as they had a longer time to commit them. Unlike the Germans they were able to hide their genocides for longer. Both regimes were a bunch of murderous bast*rds.

While getting ready for Barbarossa I reviewed the two versions (Steam and non-Steam) of the DCCB mod, and discovered to my chagrin that a moderately common texture had been left out.

(The missing texture is a repainted Luftawaffe eagle on a square blue background that can be seen the the DCWtP mod).

That has been rectified and the links in the earlier post will now lead you to version 1.5 of the Steam and non-Steam versions.
