The Long Nigh - Battle of LZ 27V Question

Post by jimpyle »

I'm having a problem getting event points for getting the South Korean 10th Company to hex 12,51. No problem with the foot units, but one of the five units listed as part of 10th/3rd Motorized Rifle Company is an M113 ACAV which seems to only be able to move one hex per turn and so can't possibly make it to 12,51.

Can someone tell me what I'm missing?

TIA

Hmm, at one point I had that map having a few more "dirt road" hex sides that helped the transit of the APC's.

To collect the event points, you need to get to within 4 hexes of 12,53. That's the main area to aim for. Since there are 15 turns, without the extra couple/few dirt road hexsides, it will be a challenge - definitely close indeed.

I'll make note of that and revise it for the pending 2.10 UPDATE due out in November.

Thanks, Jason. Still learning the system and thought I'd totally missed something. :)

No worries at all and thank you for pointing it out.

I have the corrected map, I can post it here later when I get home.

I hope you're enjoying the game so far! Let me know if you have any other questions, I'm always happy to help!

Hey Jason,

Just checking to see if you uploaded the updated map.

Need to see if with it I have a chance at getting a draw result. :lol:

Thanks,

Jim

Hey Jason,

Thanks!! I can get the M113 in range now.

But next question: The Scenario Briefing says to get the 10/3rd to "Hill 289 (12,51)" but in the lua the event, starting line 430, says with 4 hexes of 12,53.

Now... I prefer 12,53 since I can get there quicker ;) and 12,51 IS within 4 hexes of 12,53 but should the lua be changed to 12,51?

Yes, I should change it, but that it was intended to make the pressure for the player by giving a misleading coordinate.

I'm mean, but nice sometimes. *laughs*
