Unintended 1-map Ops the easy way

Post by ineffable »

Scenarios made in the Editor are one-and-done right? One battle on one map. Debrief, end of story. You can always play it again but its the same setup every time and after one battle its over. Right??

Try this:

1. Make a scenario.
2. Play scenario.
3. Pause and Save scenario at 00:01.
4. Finish Paused scenario. Go to Debrief then Back to Command.
5. Start the Save you paused at 00:01.
6. UnPause and let play :01 until Battle Complete.
7. Go to Debrief, then back to Command.
8. Restart the Save you paused at :01.

9. Save is now at start of second battle on the same map as if the single battle scenario were an Op.

1-map Ops the easiest way

1. Start battle.

2. Pause and save.

3. Quit battle.

4. Play save, finish battle, back out of Debrief to Command.

5. Play 2nd battle.

Creating a Save file at any point in a single battle allows that Save to be used for 2nd and 3rd battles.

This unannounced feature cant be stressed enough -

Once a Save is created from a single-battle scenario and played, it gets auto-saved after every battle, in Debrief. The Save can then be restarted to fight another battle in the scenario with cumulative casualties and map control from previous battles.

Correct me if I'm wrong devs but this process appears infinite!

You CAN do this if you want but it's not a documented feature and it may not work in the future. I recommend waiting until the content creation update so you can make proper operations. :)

Good to know self-made ops are on the way. I always say if a battle is worth fighting once, it's worth fighting again. But then it becomes an op so if you want to fight a battle again, better use Save :)
