side posture for individual units

[Agathosdaimon]

Hi - i was inspired by the USS Ticonderoga game from the nineties to make a scenario that involves a defection of a russian DDG - how do i make an event or something that has the posture of the russian ship turn from unfriendly to neutral. I can only see how to change it for the whole side.

thanks

While in ScenEdit, you can bring up the "Add/Edit Sides" window, switch to the [e.g. Russian] side and check-off "Collective Responsibility". That way, when e.g. a Russian MiG performs a hostile act, only the MiG itself is marked as hostile while the entire Russian side remains non-hostile.

great thanks, where do i find that option? basically i want the russians and US sides to be unfriendly but both in a cold war position of not firing unless fired upon, but then there is a russian DDG which requests an escort and is defecting to the west (like in the scenario i am basing it on) it which point then things start to get hairy with approaching slavas and a possible aircraft -its relatively simple and perhaps the original scenario is not as realistic so i will have to tweak it and test it an dmaybe try and get it playable from both sides

though i am still not sure how to best apply the collective responsibilty setting - do i adjust it for everyone russian except teh defecting DDG - whats the easiest way to do this -ie the russian side moves from unfriendly to hostile on the whole but the ddg will itself become neutral?

Maybe you could add third side "defected" for this single ship. This way you can make posture for both side.
