I thought all my scenarios went in the bin when i stopped showing up It was fun. Just FYI, if you don't mind... I made a few *tiny* experimental changes for next time we play it, based on feedback, for a "The Road to Chateau Schlongberger_FMU_4379x" version (I'm keeping the original of course). I figured you wouldn't mind (I think they are changes you might have made over time from additional feedback that I have collected). Added a very minor 60 (defender)/40 (attacker) points for losses. This way the score can still turn out to be 500/500 when C is not taken, but if attacker does very well or very poorly then it would be just enough points to give a minor defeat/minor victory. Score different (60/40) is so that attacker can take more losses than defender. Losses in this was 26 (defender) to 22 (attacker), so that puts it right in line (means that defender's losses will be worth more points than attacker's losses) and was designed to where it should be roughly 500/500 score with that result. Added APS to the CO tanks, so they are more likely to get in on the action. Added 10 more minutes. It's perfect now, and I put my name in the briefing as the creator. 😛 Kidding, but it's only intended as an experiment to see if it fine tunes the fun now that we have played it many times. If it isn't good then I will change it back to the original version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colebrook Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 And talking about this week's mission, there is some small bug with the messages. At first I thought I had read it wrong, but no, on the AAR you can see the message: [21:34] Great leader, your pilots have been eliminated. Make the invaders pay for their crimes! But the pilots arrived safely to the airbase. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted December 10, 2023 Author Moderators Share Posted December 10, 2023 Thanks all for playing the Island Invasion 02. I have made quite a few small improvements for next time. Fixed the Spec Ops UAV issue CavGunner found Added a message to remind Red to wait for the helicopters to refuel... so what happened this time doesn't happen again. 🤣 Added an ECW attack for Blue's SIGINT unit to execute, disabling Red's radios for 25 min (this can help them in their initial landings, or save it for later). Lot's of control logic is associated with that. Added a Valkyries... uh, theme for TF Valkries, courtesy of JC's suggestion. 😄 Made 50% of the ASLAV-PCs have Lemur .50 cal instead of AGL, which is I think a suggestion I absorbed subliminally. Fixed Red's trigger ownership problem, where our triggers were changing ownership throughout the scenario. Made a change so that Red doesn't get all their tanks/IFVs unless/until both Port and Airfield is lost, and they still hold the compound, to make things more interesting (they get 6x tanks and 4x IFVs first, then their remaining 3x tanks and 2x IFVs later). Some other small improvements. That should mix things up a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the pilots arrived safely to the airbase. Ah OK, I was wondering why you mentioned they were destroyed. I'll fix that too. Edit: OK, I think that is fixed now too. It's a little tricky, but it seems like it was checking the loss of the pilots the moment the pilots were spawned, so I delayed the check for about 3 minutes after spawn and let's see if that fixes it next time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schlogberger is a particularly convoluted scenario to edit as i recall, so thanks for taking the time to go into it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bond_Villian Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I understand there is an hour allocated for planning (not unusual), is the scenario itself time limited/ anticipated? I ask because It's Saturday here and I have an 🇦🇺 Day thing to get to later, just trying to plan my day. Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask because It's Saturday here and I have an 🇦🇺 Day thing to get to later, just trying to plan my day. Cheers Right, as mentioned in the game (just answering here in case anyone else is wondering)... About 45 min for planning, and ~ 120 minutes for the scenario (+/- 6 min). No problem, just play when you can and and if you can't make it some games that is OK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
