Ok then perhaps it is the terminology that is confusing the issue. To me stand off should remain constant between two combatants where possible. So let me ask this as a hypothetical- on a flat plain with no cover is my unit set to engage at maximum range of 3000m and advancing towards it is an enemy ...

So to clarify something here based on observed behaviour, if stand off is set to 6 a unit will withdraw to a chosen location a further 6 hexes away? Meaning it could be 12 hexes from the triggering enemy unit. I want to find away of keeping unit out of range of enemy fire (say 2000m) but within ...

Have seen this behaviour in FCSS but not FCCW before

Every cat is black - HQ 3/18 arrives on map at 1% readiness. If I order R&R it offers 43% after 30 mins, but if I increase to 31 mins it only offers 14%. What is happening here (a save game will not show anything more as it is the orders phase immediately after arrival so screenshots attached ...

DIVM - not sure if you ever had Red Storm, but I have been hoping for a feature that was in that game to be porte3d to both Southern Storm and now Cold War https://forums.matrixgames.com/viewtopi ... 9#p5075789 so I think it may already have been JIRA'd

Thanks William.

I had seen a thread about mission graphics using Inkscape or paint.net on the PC but found them a bit complex. In the end I found Sketch book for Android easier to use on my tablet with the s-pen, so this was a tryout for that. Havent got round to working out how to move an overlay ...

Final positions – holding on. Canadian units in west stayed put and did not engage. Counterattack from the east was contained.

VP – I will take that!

Observations and Comments.

It was a damned close run thing.
Harder without arty smoke – was this intentional?
Canadian ...

1202 – some movement delays from MR bn traffic volume approaching Bear. Tank bn pushing north of Fox.
1250 – left hook in progress but running close to the wire.
1337 – still slow approaching Dog.
End – only just!

0930 – 1st tank bn pushing through Bear with losses. Arty arrives and starts fireplan on M150 firing from Moose. Follow on forces arrive and paths plotted.

1021 – Bear still contested, Rat, Moose and Elk cleared and secure. Small counterattack on Elk repulsed.

Battle Commentary

0800 – Initial moves of air asslt troops and recce. 0845 – Air asslt units preparing to cross bridge. First tank units arrive and paths plotted.

Execution

Concept – punch a hole, exploit, move quickly to secure dominating positions, then push through to rear areas and disrupt and dislocate. First wave push through Bear, secure Rat, Moose, Elk and Fox. Follow on forces – 1 tank bn to secure valley north of Fox then 1 tank and 1 MR bn push ...

Enemy Forces

Two inf bns, one tank regt, arty bn plus MLRS and heli sp. Only the M150 SPAT have thermal sights. Expected mission to ‘block advance along Neckar River’ suggests forward defence with M150 in depth positions and armour as reserve. Inf mobility limited and poor protection in ...

I have been meaning to put this together and post for a few months now but time has slipped away – bad weather outside gives me a bit of spare time so here goes.

If you have not tried this scenario I suggest you give it a go before reading further to see how you approach it. If you have played it ...

Just says the zip file. I find McAfee gets super conscientious the closer I get to renewal time...it claimed the Matrix ftp url was a suspicious site so likely a false positive as you say if I am the only one getting this

I know McAfee can be quite picky at times but this is the first time I have had a warning from the Matrix site.

Can anyone confirm or deny?

thanks

Ok no worries - thanks

Had not previously noticed the menu choice to 'disembark at X hexes...' but nothing seems to happen when I click on it. Any offers?

Yeessss but....its the little inconsistencies that are frustrating. Screenshot of FS from start of EG1 SN5 show all arty assets EG1 SN5 Start.png but by the end only the ones that have arrived are showing (not sure how long into the scenario they 'disappeared'. EG1 SN5 End.png

And the scenario ...

OK, fair enough and I have now seen a tool tip flash up on the OOB saying arrival after end of scenario so it is clearly intended rather than a glitch.
But what purpose does this serve and how does it impact on scenario scoring etc? Red can never lose the VP for these assets?

And I checked back to the start of Kitchen Sink. 18 x 2S3 listed on Mission Brief, 6 shown on FS panel, none in reinforcements so there is a glitch somewhere.
