The United States 1976 Presidential Election Scenario — 200 Years of History!!!
This 1976 election created by Os Davis and VCCzar.
*Note: The Historical Scenario Commission updated this scenario on Nov 5, 2017 (and again Nov 29). It can be downloaded here: United States – 1976 2.2
This is the historic election between Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford. The game includes the historical primary challengers, including Ronald Reagan. Additionally, we have included several what-if candidates, most notably Ted Kennedy, Nelson Rockefeller, George Bush I, George McGovern, Hubert Humphrey, and more.
Feedback is desired
Eugene McCarthy starts the primaries with nearly a 30% showing in the polls.
This scenario just plain isn’t finished.
This scenario seems incomplete, doesn’t have Carter.
@Rob,
What are you talking about? He’s clearly in the scenario. I just opened it my self. He’s the default option on the general election, and the first candidate on the left for the Democrats in the primary.
A lot of errors with the candidates… It’s missing Carter, you used Shirley Chisholm’s picture and biography for McCormack, Sam Yorty’s picture and bio for Mo Udall, John Lindsay’s picture and bio for Jerry Brown, Wilbur Mills picture and bio for Birch Bayh, Vance Hartke’s picture and bio for Frank Church, and Patsy Mink’s picture and bio for Lloyd Bentsen.
@jnewt
Are you sure you have the latest edition. My internal fixed all of this. I don’t see the same issues
Yes, I never downloaded the prior version. Perhaps you uploaded the wrong file?
Maybe that’s the problem. I’ll send the one I have when I’m not preoccupied.
@jnewt
Try it now. This is the one I’ve been playing
@rob and @donovon
Try redownloading the scenario. I had the wrong one up there somehow
When I try to play the primaries as any candidate, the game launches but I get the error TGameEngine::ProcessTurns() > Code = 54 Access violation at address 004C9B1C in module ‘PI.exe.’ Read of address 00000100. This happens regardless of who I choose, but does not occur if I start in the general.
@michaelsdiamonds
I’m getting this too, for some reason. I’ll try to figure out why this is happening now.
@michaelsdiamonds
You can redownload it now. It works for me now.

in 3.1.1 j it crashes afer convention with McCarthy turned on? I was spectating it.
@Connally, you need to make the General election date later or make the Republican convention earlier.
would making primaries end earlier work too?
@Connally
The Republican Primaries? Not necessarily. It’s the convention that’s the issue.
i moved start of general election and now it works.Thanks!
