Is there any way to make the STW Tokugawa Ieyasu historical campaign work??

It keeps crashing on the 2nd battle. I want to play Sekighara!

if you post this at the sworddojo you are bound to get an answer, not likely here. I remember there were some problems with it, but I think I never figured out how to play Seki

I think that was the one you had to play with an early (original?) version of the .exe, pre-patch. I never was able to play it other than in the original version of the game if memory serves. Not sure why CA didn't send out a fix for it. Shouldn't have been too demanding.

See this post in totalwar.com. It'll answer your question. It did for me on the exact same battle and I was referred to this thread. It fixed it:

That's nagashino in the Oda Nobunaga campaign. I am speaking of the Tokugawa Ieyasu campaign.

Nerouin, you do the same fix for all of the battles.

Nerouin, and after you get the fix you go play Seki on expert level with no patches or funny stuff, you hear, because it can be done. It takes some real fine tuning and hair-raising maneuvers, I sweated on it for hours, I was so proud when I first succeeded.

The clue is in the woods in the far right corner, way in the background when you first muster your line of battle. There are two separate woods, in fact, and I'm talking about the one farthest away. Immediately upon start of battle you withdraw your daimyo and YS to those woods, sacrificing your two NS units along the way to keep the enemy cavalry at bay, and ordering your hidden YS to report there asap as well. Once you there, put them in square formation. The enemy cavalry can't really fight you in the woods, they'll come at you anyway and as long as you stay between those trees you're golden. Their YS are a bunch of losers and Ieyasu's horsemen will see off the last of their withering horse units. Go Nerouin.

Hey, this is great. I didn't realize someone had figured out a fix. Wonder if we have a patched set of files around here somewhere that we could put on the .org to fix this? I might have to play with this a bit.
