Cold War Scenarios Possible?

Post by towishimp »

Hi All,

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find an answer anywhere on here or in the manual. I believe that it is possible to make USA vs. USSR scenarios with the game, correct? If so, does it matter if I use West Front or East Front? I'm doing it in West Front now. I see OOBs for "Soviets" and "Russia." Which one do I want to oppose my US OOB? Or do both work? Thanks.

I would use West Front, and you want the slot 24 variety of the Russian kit. I made a monster of a scenario just for kicks, I have it somewhere on my HD if you want to try it out?

On that bootcamp scenario, the US units are trapped at the lower left hand corner of the map by the swamp/mash ****unplayable****

Hmm. It is playable on mine? Strange. There is a road there, right?

Make sure you are selecting less than 12 Strength Points of units in order to move alone the road through the swamps.

Can you send me a BTL file of your attempt?

Thanks much.

I'll post the file here, just rename the file extension to zip and unzip after downloading, as zip files aren't supported here. Bear in mind I just did this scenario for fun, me and a fellow were playing this monster via email for awhile. I then updated it some. Just noticed today a French infantry unit wasn't loaded, so I fixed that also, I want to update it some more eventually to include new units, but no time yet. Enjoy.
