I have read elsewhere that having more reviews on Amazon increases the exposure in their advertising algorithm. More reviews = more sales = presumably more stories for us.

Interesting concept.

One possibility for Indonesia is them sticking their noses into both sides - intelligence gathering and asserting their role in the region - with penalties and risks for either side engaging them, either deliberately or accidentally.

Another asset of interest would be a ...

Version 1.2 is very nice.

One glitch, the trigger for Arc Royal getting to the final zone points is the Nimitz arriving. Nimitz trigger is used twice.

Critical to surviving the bomber strike is to give the observers a view of the Nimitz or Arc Royal so they come south of the FEBA and can be ...

Version 1.1 plays very differently than version 1.0. Key points are:
1.) Bomber strike can't be avoided in 1.1 like it can in 1.0. Oddly, the bombers were not launching at max range, that allowed for a turkey shoot over the Sea of Marmara. It took every fighter that could get there from Nimitz (Mig ...

The reduced force level in version 1.2 does make you think a lot harder about what to hit and how.

One question - the 4 x Flogger H assigned to Al Tar CAP are armed with AS-7s and are part of an AAW patrol. Should they be assigned to the Ship Strike mission?

One possible issue identified. Upon capture of the bunker at Kamaran, there does not seem to be a LUA that changes it's side. That is a problem as the trigger for exploitation is based on a time limit a NATO bunker at that location. Also, the message announcing capture is the same message as the ...

Completed rough play through - higher losses than I should have had and lessons learned on applying reconnaissance and integration of airborne/seaborne capabilities.

Running through again with refinements to organization.

Changes to TOE - mostly to replace non para assets with para capable.
At ...

DOH - and I've been using them only for stand off ELINT. Lesson learned.

Impressive Scenario - I am a little over 2 hours into it so far.

In keeping with a bridge too far - the 101st has taken Eindhoven with bridges intact - awaiting a counter attack and
the 82nd and 1st are yet to drop.

Only issue so far is that the Spetsnaz at Laage are not para capable - I assume ...

DW, If you are looking for suggestions I offer: Harold Coyle, Leonard B Scott, James H. Cobb, and Richard Herman. Not the most recent, but among my favorites.

Version 1.3 is great fun - the surprises are excellent. Only issue is several of the NATO fighters are not assigned missions. I assumed they went to the same missions as their squadron mates.

All manual attacks, I find that strike missions do random things I'm not expecting - like route the mission right through the SAM envelope.

<t> I did not. If memory serves, I made an effort to keep the launch aircraft high above short range SAMs and made sure they were daylight strikes. Beyond that, no special attention. If you are trying to hit Nordholz, the briefing does mention smoke at that airfield - I don't remember which ...

<t> Triumph achieved, this one is a huge challenge in putting the right ordinance on the right targets. <br/>
Calling in the extra bomber regiment is key.<br/>
<br/>
Broad brush strategy:<br/>
Fighter sweep to push back the standing CAP<br/>
Send Mig-27s and Tercom armed backfires at the AMRAAM ...

One more small thing - the Soviet Naval Strike by the Mig-29s is set to max strike radius of 0nm.

Performance seems to be OK so far. 2 minor points. Exocet reloads in Brunei are MM40, the patrol boats take MM38s. There may need to be an ammo pad or magazine on Christmas Island, I sent two ASW loaded P-3 and the loadout vanished on landing.

The Mig-31s eat the F-15s for lunch. How to do reasonable damage in the face of approximately infinite Stingers is a bigger problem - not yet resolved.

You can actually get both Hueys on the Newcastle if you send both SH-70s to Westralia.

<t> Following Andrew's strategy, I have the reinforcements airborne with the runway open. Andrew - trust the artillery & mortars you are dropping, tjey kick butt - I think you want the A-6s for the 17th when you find it.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Minor points to mention - the 5.56 MG squads are not air ...

One more small issue: C-9A at Reykjavik has a one way range of 1740 nm, not enough to get to Oceana NAS. Set that one up as a ferry to Gander?
