Hi kaoz , you have to download and install the maps separately. First install the HG MOD then extract HeeresGruppe_Additionns_001, overwriting old files and then do the same for HeeresGruppe_Additionns_002 The follow this link to find the maps and chapters. My advise would be to start with the Poland campaign. You will also find an English translation on the page.

I experienced some trouble with the installation of the HG mod. After installing the mod using a copy of BK anthology, boxed version, (see image below) I could not load a HG into the map editor. The mapeditor crashed everytime. The OS is WIN 10 pro. The weird thing is that I can run the same installation on an old laptop running Kubuntu, using Wine I then installed he MOD in the RT-BH release of the same Anthology version. The Mapeditor worked fine but I could not play a HG map? Next I used used a fresh installation of the COG Anthology version. I can now use both the Mapeditor and so far everything seems to work fine. Currently playing the single mission [HG] El Agheila to check the stability of my installation. The map is highly detailed as can be expected form feldgrau. I would be interested if anyone has experienced similar problems.

The mapeditor crashed everytime. Check the MapEditor version: is it 1.4 or 1.3? Might be the problem... This sounds weird... I can only think to check the map structure of the installed mod and if the bk maps are in the correct folder.Yes, looking good. The sea waves are wonderful! I will install and play it during x-mas holidays. Other BK stuff, job & family has got me busy.

Thanks for the feedback kaoz. I did update the map editor to 1.4 but that didn't help. The maps are in the Mods/Heeresgruppe/data/maps/ folder. It's indeed strange. The map loads until 6 blocks in the progress bar and then stops. With the COG Anthology version the maps load fine now. The Mapeditor version is now 1.3. Do I need to upgrade to 1.4 ? Same thing here, I'll also plan to play during the X-mas holidays and hope to get the translation of the Africa campaign ready by then. So now I have the COG version of BK Anthology installed with the Heeresgruppe mod updated to the addon 3. The Poland 1939 chapter seems to run fine. So far I have no issues with the Africa maps. But the Poland single mission "hgpolen39ehemdf" crashes after the first minutes of playing. This happens every time. I already disabled the Lua file that is linked to the map but this does not make any difference. At least I can exclude the script as being the cause of the crash. When I start the game after a crash then the HG mod is no longer installed. I have to go to the menu options again and load the mod. I'll do some more testing.

Machst Du schon irgendetwas z.B. , deine Flugzeuge einsetzen oder gab es schon Feindkontakt? Die Polen verlegen Minen um so länger Du wartest um so mehr Minen liegen dann da irgendwo herum, vielleicht ist das der Grund des Absturzes. Ich habe dir mal eine hgpolen39ehemdf.lua mit Gegnersicht geschickt du kannst dann sehen was passiert kurz bevor es wieder abstürzt. That's strange. Do you already do anything, e.g. , use your aircraft or was there already enemy contact? The Poles are laying mines the longer you wait, the more mines there are around then, maybe that's the cause of the crash. I once sent you a hgpolen39ehemdf.lua with opponent view you can then see what happens shortly before it crashes again.

Do I need to upgrade to 1.4 ? Not really, the only difference (as far as I know) is the ability to select custom planes in 1.4. So it's not a great deal, but I was thinking out loud: like maybe feldgrau made the maps in 1.4 and you were loading them into 1.3... which even should be possible in theory, but it's a possibility. I was trying to find some logical explanation...
The mod disappearing after a crash is logic: when crashing, windows 'forgets' everything that was in RAM, so it forgets that you loaded HG mod. Try loading the mod, then quit BK. BK remembers your choice and will load it at start. If you crash then, BK will still have remembered the mod.

Problem solved ! I removed the HG mod, downloaded the files once again from feldgrau 's site and reinstalled the HG mod. It would seem that something went wrong during extraction of the rar files. The Mod contains over 66.500 Files in approx. 5.700 Folders. I used 7.zip to extract the .rar files. Unlike the first time I installed the HG mod I used a slightly different method. I first copied the compressed .rar files to the destination directory. Then I right-clicked and chose 7-Zip >> Extract Here. This method seems faster the opening the .rar file first and then dragging the files to the destination directory. Anyway so far everything runs as it should. The map '[HG] polen39ehemdf' does no longer crash within 5 minutes after starting it. Today is a good day

Installed without problems. Tried to play the Afrika chapter, but my German knowledge seems to small to understand the objectives.
First installed under BH-RT Anthology which doesn't show the mod's user interface (but my version seems to do this with every mod ). Then copied it to vanilla. Works fine. Great mod!
Quintaxel : were you not working on an English translation?

Hallo Leute
bald / demnächst
drück--> HIER <--drauf
Ich habe mal wieder eine Map von BH-RT, die ich seiner Zeit recht gerne gespielt habe, für die Heeresgruppe umgestaltet. Wer kann mir sagen welche Map das ist? Er bekommt einen Pluspunkt in der Einzelwertung.
Gruß Feldgrau

Keine Ahnung feldgrau , aber die Karte sieht sehr gut aus. No idea, but the map looks very good. Wenn Sie mir die txt-Dateien schicken, werde ich sie übersetzen. If you send me the txt files then I'll translate them

I have played the Polish map recently release on Feldgrau´s site. Great enviroment and a gameplay simple and cool. Keep coming, Feldgrau, you´re the only hope of the last Vanila's fans.
