Iran Strike, 2025 (Updated Jan 23, 2024)

Is this the version that got included in the Community Scenario Pack 50? I ran the one from the pack and it didn't have any special actions available so I couldn't ready my aircraft; I checked 2022 scenario from that pack and it did have them.

I just checked, it does have special actions. You may need to pan the map around for them to appear (game quirk). That being said, it doesn't look like the version in the CSP is the latest and greatest version. I gated the special actions in the current version of 2025 in the first post. Meaning, selecting an option or after having selected different options you select an option that leads to the next group of special actions. Those gates are not in the scenario that's in the CSP. I'll make sure to get the latest version into the next CSP update (coming soon).

You're right, I must have done something wrong last time I unpacked CSP 50... I just re-installed it and got the actions. Anyway, I grabbed the latest version from this thread and will use that one.

Thanks!

It's been a little over month since I updated the 2022 scenario. I've been hard at work (as time allows) bringing those changes, plus additional improvements, to 2025.

Most of the changes from 2022 are to the custom UI elements.

Added filters to the unit cards.



Better, I think, auto detection of players resolution and windows dpi to determine which deployment map resolution gets selected. Can override this with the drops down. I'm not planning to cover every single windows resolution and windows dpi setting but I have tried to get the most common. Open to adding more.



Overhauled the deployment menus to make them more user friendly.



Finally, clicking on the images on the deployment menu will open the associated units card. For units that contain multiple different units, i.e. USAF rescue squadrons and carrier air wings, all the associated cards will be displayed.

Hi everyone, it's been awhile since I've posted an update. I've been waiting for the new patch to release with DB514. There's a few additions I added to it specifically for this scenario. The new underground bunkers with increase damage points will be used for Fordow. Think Operation Midnight Hammer earlier this year warrants something harder to destroy then the normal underground facility bunkers.

I'm away next week, first week of December, but my schedule should free up considerably after that - and Matrix/Slitherine shuts down for the last two weeks of the year. I'm planning to have updates out for both 2022 and 2027 (renamed 2025 version) before the end of the year, hopefully before Christmas but definitely by the new year.

Since I had some time, I decided to replace the static deployment map with an interactive one, same one blu3s used for his Luzon scenario. Huge thanks to him for providing an example script on how to integrate it. This should hopefully solve all of the scaling issues with the previous versions.

To avoid clutter, the map labels are disabled at higher zoom levels.





All of the new map markers link to the new deployment menus



Leaflet has four different map layers - Dark Theme (default), OpenTopoMap, World Topo, and satellite. I don't think these are super useful right now with the map being just for unit deployments but they will be if I ever add more planning features such with aircraft and weapon range rings, Iranian air bases, radar and SAM sites, etc.
