Running the latest and greatest, I got the following error:

At least I can't. No error message, scenarios just aren't visible. Dutch nationality not visible to choose.

Why am I trying to edit scenarios I just bought? I'm nosy that way.

I know nothing about the Polish Air Force in 1989, but you can always edit scenarios to suit yourself. You would then have to correct all of the Polish battle plans to account for the change if you wanted to play from the US side. So you would want to look at the current setups.

IIRC (Red Storm playing days), at that level of organization your top-level HQ becomes more likely to be detected for artillery strikes due to the amount of radio traffic.

Of course it is also less than a simulation of the real world where we don't see that sort of command structure.

To avoid things like that I find I have to be very particular in managing waypoints and manner of march.

That's a tough pretty map for long range shooting. Even at less than 1500 meters lots of hex visibilities range from 20 - 10. I have no insight into how the game evaluates a shot at a "visible" target in a hex at 1500 meters with visibility less than 25. I know I hate it when the Bradkleys waste a ...

I have seen that, soviet scouts in urban areas manage to get past dug in infantry whilst also popping the odd FV432 with RPGs, I did wonder about that but I read a post on either here or the discord channel that made me look at the SOP closer

from memory the scouts are set to deliberate move ...

Yes they are.

OTOH, UK infantry feels less resilient than it did in previous versions of the game.



can you give me a example, I've only replaced the pistols with a couple of LAWs so they should be more if anything but happy to examine things

The arty (and mortars) I consolidated into ...

You can always look under the hood to see how they are set up. You can also make changes to suit yourself.

Yes they are.

I also notice that your artillery batteries are eight guns altogether rather than split in half as in many stock scenarios.

And here are the details you were looking for.

Interesting, I had a defence centred on Holle running west long the river north of the blown bridges, and along the NE wood ridge east of the A39 which allows covering of the northern gap, would a VP near Neetingen have encouraged you take a similar position

could you post a screenshot of your ...

Here's the final situation. If I had been smarter I would have had a company of tanks and the Spartan MCT's on the ridge SW of Badoeckenstedt from the get go. Or the Spartans could have gone on the ridges to the NE. I also could have put D 3/RTR in a more advantageous position.

Someone smarter than me with estimating time to move somewhere, and so on, would likely have done better than my contested result with BP1. The regiment on his left, the SW corner, is no more. It didn't take more than six-seven platoons really. The center regiment got away with more than they should ...

I'll probably try it one way, and then the other, just to see if I can destroy one before the other two come looking for me. Maybe that experience will motivate me to try my hand at traffic management.

Player note: I've been changing the recce HQ's to hide in place to keep their GSR where I want ...

The US Corps artillery seems to do a better job against on map Pact artillery in the first scenario if you turn energized on for their RADAR unit in the setup. I took a peek behind the curtain.

Not quite sure how to approach the second scenario as it allows setting up in--or maneuvering to--his ...

From things I have read previously, Soviet artillery fires where it wants to go. I seldom play that side, but that's what I do when I play Red. There's not a whole lot a scenario designer can do to ensure that happens after the first round.

Take a look at what Tazak is doing with Pact artillery. It ...

First of all, thank you for your suggestions! I'm revising the scenario, so they are very helpful.

I didn't want to Fisk your Fisk, but I did read your comments.

Is this the dreaded Soviet attack from the barracks? That would explain the relative "paucity" of Soviet artillery. And I had forgot ...

This site is excellent for OOB's: https://www.relikte.com/literatur.htm IIRC, the author got a lot of help from the folks at tanknet, many/most of whom were veterans of the era.


I know the site, but thanks anyway!

My German is very bad, but my daughter managed to translate the second book ...
