A small scenario to boost the Poor Bloody Infantry

Hi everyone, Im testing the Infantry in a very bloody desperate action in a small wood.
Not your normal AB scenario. Let me know what you think.

Looks like I finally got close to the deployment i needed. Please use this attachment and not the first post. Thanks

I liked the briefing and terrain selection. Made a quite interesting fight.

1. I think that for battalion-sized forces it's better to use platoons instead of companies since one can command two levels down.
One can for example use a platoon for a reserve. I noticed that around the end of the scenario I'd usually start a counter-attack from the right flank as enemy is in the woods in the centre.
2. There's no HQ and support weapons are somewhat sparse for a battalion. Did they get destroyed earlier or is it because of a point limit? If it's the latter, it's best to adjust forces after creating the scenario in scenario editor or set unit type proportions when making a new scenario - they are pretty much irrelevant with manual buying.
HQs in Armored Brigade are company HQs.
3. You can set unit names by editing the scenario.xml file. For example:

Code: Select all

  <string name="forceAFormation5" value="123,A Infantry HQ,21,29,LINE,1,90,FALSE,FALSE" />
   <string name="forceAFormation6" value="128,A1 Infantry Platoon,31,23,LINE,0,90,FALSE,FALSE" />
   <string name="forceAFormation7" value="128,A2 Infantry Platoon,31,30,LINE,0,90,FALSE,FALSE" />
   <string name="forceAFormation8" value="128,A3 Infantry Platoon,28,28,LINE,0,90,FALSE,FALSE" />
   <string name="forceAFormation9" value="123,B Infantry HQ,18,25,LINE,1,90,FALSE,FALSE" />
   <string name="forceAFormation10" value="128,B1 Infantry Platoon,31,44,LINE,1,90,FALSE,FALSE" />
   <string name="forceAFormation11" value="128,B2 Infantry Platoon,28,51,LINE,1,90,FALSE,FALSE" />
   <string name="forceAFormation12" value="128,B3 Infantry Platoon,30,57,LINE,1,90,FALSE,FALSE" />
