Campaign save game suggestion

[rickier65]

I'm playing the Bootcamp campaign and I'm just starting the 3 scenario.

A suggestion for the system would be to be able to save the game when the Scenario briefing comes up. Right now, I have to read the briefing, then save the game when it gets to the setup screen (if I dont want to start the next battle just then). And then I cant get back to the briefing.

Since I'm not able to tell for sure just when a scenario is going to end, I"ve been saving almost everyturn, So that when it runs over to the next battle, I'll have a save bpoint before the next breifing.

So a save opportunity at the breifing screen would be good. (There is an autosave there, but if I happen to play another game in between then it's lost.

Oh - got a legendary victory for 2nd battle in campaign, even though my command squad took a couple of losses -that church tower is magnet for enemy fire.

I checked the after action OOB and I surprised to see that neither the 150art nor the 81mm mortar killed any Infantry squads. (mortars took out a truck or two). All my kills were credited to the Grenadiers.

Rick,

I might have something in the works that will fix that [;)]

EDIT: An auto save manager

Thanks Stridor - it occurred to me after my post that maybe I could try and get into habit of copying my autosave after a campaign scenario eceded. Another option would be to put the save game option on the end screen that gives the battle result - that way it woulnd't mess up the regualr briefing screen. But I'm sure you guys know best what would work.

I did try going into review a that point, but the save button is greyed out then.

Thanks
Rick

The game really needs this suggestion to make the HQ Helper operate in a manner that works intuitively (from within the main GUI would be even better). I keep forgetting to save my campaigns before that first turn.

I would also like to see a Restart mission option. If I get halfway into a mission and am not doing well, if I didn't save at the beginning, I have to be completely defeated before I can try again from the start.

You can always use the "Q" key to surrender instead of playing things out.

[Stridor]

Hopefully my autosave manager when it is finished will help you with some of these save problems.

Oh, thanks! Didn't know that existed. I even looked at the key reference in the pdf and must not have noticed.

I received my physical copy today. So, now I'll be able to get down to reading over the manual in detail.

Yes, I brilliantly left that key out of the hotkey reference. Sorry about that!
