Sorry, gentlemen, haven't been on the site in a while. Yes, 38 North Yankee is based on the book by Ed Ruggero of North Korea invading South Korea. It takes place in the '90s and is a mod for GTC. I am the modder.
Gentlemen, thank you for responding. On the UnitStructure, I am unable to change line items 120-127. I can change above and below. But, if I change those 8 lines of code, I receive the errors.
I have a fix, the game is working, no errors, I was just curious to know if anyone had figured these codes out.
I have three codes that keep popping up in a modified game of GTC.
0x4C57F1 0x4C57B0 0x4C57EE
This happens after changing items in the UnitStructure file. If I return the lines items to the original UnitStructure, these errors disappear. I have checked each line item, line by line, number by number. These errors appear in sequence, appearing twice then allowing the game to load. Sometimes, they do not appear. Finally, sometimes, when I am on the battlegroup screen and go to back out to the main screen I get that last error code and the game crashes.
The game still plays, so far, it's just frustrating having to restart 6-10 times.
What is your take on the value of snipers? When playing CC3: The Russian Front I was able to use my snipers and have some success with them. In later mods, mostly PitF and GTC, I find that my sniper are nearly worthless, even when playing with armor heavily reduced and using mostly infantry.
Instead of using individual snipers, I have since moved them into the "designated marksman" position where they are part of a squad rather than on their own.
DJ, PM me here and I can send you a link to download.
Tejszd, thank you. I will post more pictures later. I am using some smaller maps for this game. The AI is aggressive, especially in the smaller maps. It makes for some exciting battles. This is especially true because in making the weapons, I lowered the accuracy and jam numbers to be realistic. I get many more melees now and that situation is usually 50-50, if the numbers are the same. I usually end up sending a platoon over to support during a melee, or a commander. If a I send a commander, they are usually killed. If a send a platoon, it ends with a breach in the lines!
This mod will only appeal to a few people in and around the CC world. In developing the mod, my goal was to modify every piece of the game (data files, graphic files, localfx). I did intensive research on the weapons of the era as well as the battle itself in developing this game. Most everything is accurate; what is not is intentional (the building of a "Contraband" regiment for instance. No US Colored Troops were at the Battle of Perryville). I believe I made a mod that is historically accurate as far as the graphics, sounds and data go. I have cavalry; I have artillery; I have bugle calls; and I have uniforms. The only limiting factor was the game engine of CC is not designed for 19th Century warfare.
Close Combat: Civil War The Battle of Kentucky
Background: In 1862, the Army of the Mississippi (Confederate States of America), under General Braxton Bragg, moved into Kentucky with the purpose of swinging this vital border state over the Confederate side in the war. I Corpse, under MGEN McCook, met Bragg's forces outside the town of Perryville, Kentucky. The Union lines initially held, counterattacked, but were eventually driven off by the Rebel Army. As dusk was approaching, more Union forces began to threaten Bragg's left flank forcing, him to withdraw. The battle lasted only a day. Bragg continued to withdraw, leaving Kentucky, ending the Kentucky offensive and swinging the state to the Union position. Tactically, Bragg won the battle. The Union Army, though, won the strategic victory.

As stated in the opening, the Close Combat engine/AI is not designed for 19th Century warfare, i.e., companies and regiments formed into a single or double battle line, meeting the enemy on open ground. When using normal line infantry I maintained a line or double line as much as practical given terrain and responses to the enemy. The AI fought the battles using 20th tactics as designed by the AI. At first, the battles went my way because in a line formation I was able to more easily flank and isolate the AI. As the games progressed (in campaign mode) the AI began to "learn". Sacrificing his skirmishers (a ten man recon team), it would probe my lines for weak areas or to draw me off. Upon penetrating my lines, the AI then would focus its forces in that area. When drawing me off, I would react by "swinging" my forces around to protect the weakened areas. This would put the AI in position to flank my main forces, or to cut off my reserves. It made for some interesting battles.
The only part of the game play that frustrated me as far as 19th vs 20th Century tactics was with 'my' armies. I would order then forward, say through a wheat field, and the would stop at the designated spot. But, after a few shots, they immediately went to seek cover. Sometimes, the soldiers would run all the way back to the original start spot. Other times, they would overrun the spot, "charging" the enemy in ones and twos, getting cut down right away. I had to keep them moving in "double march" (sprint) to maintain lines, and positions. This, of course, wore my soldiers down quicker.
That is my mod of GTC.
If you are interested, PM me or contact me through the CC Facebook pages.
Fellow Close Combatants, I am looking for a map, but do not recall the name, nor do I have a picture. I will do my best to describe it. It was rocket or missile complex, circular in shape. I would like to download this map again for a current project. If you have it or know the name it, or when I can find it, it would be much appreciated!
Regards, Bel8910
