I am playing Operation Tiger Rifle and I noticed that the air bases do not have any magazines loaded. This means all the aircraft that are on reserve cannot be used (unless one is using unlimited ammunition at air bases). Was this deliberate? Just checking. Thanks.

(If it is deliberate...maybe add information about it in the briefing? Also, I would have the aircraft on reserve given one loadout, but set up so they are not going to be ready for a few hours--they cannot be used more than once but at least they are not just sitting there...empty...mocking me...)

By the way, it is not too hard to win even if there are no extra loadouts for aircraft. I just got a Major Victory (1350 points...it would have been 1450, but I lost two B-52s when they strayed too close to enemy fighters...grrr!) Got everything done, even with a few aborted missions, in 10 hours. Excellent scenario. Lots of fun.

Ah, yes, the scenario was intended to use unlimited munitions. Though I had though I updated it with munitions after receiving a few requests for that to be included; I wonder if the updated version made its way into the community scenario pack.

Also thanks so much for your kind words! [:D] I've played quite a few Mgellis scenarios over the months since Command was released; and before that I've played a few of your Harpoon3 scenarios as well. I've used your scenarios as a template a couple of times, where I'll start off by playing your scenario, then when the time in your scenario is complete I'll think about what sort of actions the different nations would take in response to the events in the scenario and then add in a couple additional units and continue the conflict for another day!

Really shows off the strength of the Command scenario editor; modifying a running scenario would be very difficult in Harpoon based on my knowledge of the H3 scenario editor.
