Artillery strike never happens

[MTTODD]

Hi,

I instructed a mortar to fire smoke, but it never happens.

When I look at the time it was suppose to of happened, the time has just been increased.

Many thanks for any help.

Does it have smoke ammo left? Is it under FSCC control? Is it in range of its parent HQ?

[MTTODD]

Well smoke ammo is appearing in drop down barrage list, so I guess so.

They are within HQ radius.

How do I check if they are under FSCC control ? Nothing in appears in red on unit panel.

Can you send me the save game file to check it out? Something strange going on from the sound of it. What are the weather conditions?

[MTTODD]

OK what is best way to send you the save file ?

Weather was day, clear, visual 5,500m

Thanks for your help.

Email to Capn.Darwin@Windstream.net and I'll try to get a look at it this weekend. [8D]

[MTTODD]

That's because I can't type worth a damn...[:@], editing the post above.

Hi all,

I did in fact have a similar issue with my artillery in a different scenario recently (A Thin Tan Line, I cannot yet link to the post in the "AI artillery - help me understand" thread). The fire missions just never happened and got postponed again and again.

Eventually, after a few reloads of my savegames, the issue resolved itself and my Abbots fired normally (meaning: ineffectually [:'(]). It looks a bit random to me, but let me know if my safefile might help, too.

Was hoping to get to your file over the weekend, but Easter family commitments and working on data for a new Southern Storm build ate up my time. Try to look tomorrow evening.

No prob.
