Bombardment not performing

War in Spain 1936-39 is the first in a new wargame series, using a new Land-Sea-Air engine inspired by War in the Pacific - Admiral’s Edition. Gameplay and realism are improved by TRUE AI and a detailed Logistics systems. A hyper detailed OOB reaches down to battalion and company level. A beautiful, hand drawn, 5 nautical mile per hex map massively increases player immersion.

Bombardment not performing

Post by adarbrauner »

I am playing the Baleares scenario long, nationalist side
Following the appearance of the BB, IT has been ordered to do bombardment runs.

The first set was executed, but then, every try to set the bombardment mission and the target, resulted in the TF not doing ANYTHING. I am not sure it did not leave the port either, just disbanded in it.

I am trying to upload a Save file here, but the file extension is not approved, it says.

I am successfully bombarding, over and over. If you want to attach a save file, ZIP it first.

Make sure your orders have the following:

1. BOMBARDMENT TF. They should be in a BOMBARDMENT TF.
2. Set them to "Retire", and pick a hex to bombard from; needs to be adjacent to or same hex as the target
3. Make sure you "Set Hex to Bombard" and select that particular hex

Actually, I set it to "do not retire",maybe is this?

Strange, I don't remember it happening with WITPAE. It doesn't make sense as well, if you wish your fleet to keep the position.

I'll try anyhow..

Yes. The point is to enter two target hexes for TF.
The first one you will sail to.
The second one you will bomb.

This is a fundamental difference from AE.
