Hi asl3d,

I just played the scenario "Omaha Dog White" Congratulations, very good work.

I see that at the beginning many German units are visible, and that the bunkers can not be assaulted, I do not know if this is done or is an error.

Another error is that the bunkers begin badly faced, reason why its back part with worse armoring is exposed to antitank shots.

Hello Chinchin,

Thank you very much for your kind words, once again.

Many German units are visible:

Yes, but I do not know why it happens. I do not force this to happen in the design of the scenario. I imagine that Artificial Intelligence decides which units are "exposed" and which are not. Another possibility is that the visible units are on high ground and on the Crest Line. But I can not assure you.

The bunkers can not be attacked:

The bunkers can be attacked. Another thing is that they are "easy" to eliminate.

In the address (post # 156) that I copy below, the characteristics of the bunkers are summarized.

tm.asp?m=4354865&mpage=6&key=#

Bunkers start badly faced:

You're right. But this is not too serious. The most important thing is the protection effect provided by the terrain qualified as "pillbox". The armor also increases the protection even more. However, I have already corrected the "front" orientation of the pillboxes. In the next scenario, all scenarios will appear with the affected pillboxes already corrected.

Thanks for help, one more time.

Watching Terrain.xls I understood everything.

Many German units are visible:

This is because the "Entrenchment" terrain has LOS type open, to solve this it is enough to put trenches or Foxholes, with "T" or "F" in the editor. This brings 2 easy problems to solve, that the TM is + 2 + 2 = 4, and that the drawing that is superimposed on the trenches or Foxholes is not pretty with the map. You can fix it by editing one of the 3 drawings of Foxholes, for example the art / hexes / Foxholes03.tga by one empty, so the map will remain intact, but the units will be hidden.

The bunkers can not be attacked:

I meant that bunkers can not be attacked in closed combat like other vehicles, but it is already well explained in post 156. I also saw in Terrain.xls that the Pillbox terrain has the movement Prohibited for all units.

Thanks for the clarifications!

Many German units are visible:

Yes, I think it's the "Entrenchment" type of terrain although the option of TEM +4 may be excessive for this type of fortification (like a building). But suppressing the value of the TEM of "excel" would influence other scenarios.

I propose to maintain the situation as it is now. It is always possible to deploy the hidden units in the trenches, although we would also have to reflect a little more on this solution.

Hello Asl3d,

Yesterday I discovered that the unit "Soviet Mountain Guards Squad" does not take casualties. Reviewing Units.xls I see that it's wrong, in "Reduce ID #" it says 10 and it should be 11. Is that so?

Hello Chinchin,

In effect, you are right (as always), "Reduce ID #" has to be 11 and not 10 as it is now in the file.

Right now I have changed the "units.xls" file and it is available in the Core of Heroes and Leaders mod download.

Also, when the next scenario, Omaha Easy Green, is published, I will also include the new file "units.xls."

Thank you very much for your wonderful help.

Not at all! It is a pleasure to be able to help in something.
