Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

This scenario is a monster and the Stugs don't arrive until turn ten so I need you to expand on this "The Stugs try to swim the river" comment

Vehicles can ford shallow water which means the AI could push them into the shallows at the banks but would stop when it encountered deep water.

Is that what you meant by "try to swim the river"??

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

The Stugs that arrive at the top of the map try to cross the river instead of just advancing along the north bank.

The screen shots shows a few of these trying to enter the river rather than moving to the right of the map. They were still there when the game ended on turn 38.

The same thing happens with the armored cars near the bridge. They eventually cross the bridge but not before several enter the shallow water hexes and get stuck.

They all need better way points set so they don't just take the most direct route to the v hexes and enter the water.

Personally, I think this scenario is best played as the German attacker.

I can send you the last turn save if you want to see more.

Scenario #497 Hankow China:

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

9,51 for me is the middle of deep water.........

I assume its the "docks" you are referring to ?
I fixed them

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

The bridge and v hex at 69,51.

I missed a digit.

Thanks for catching the docks.

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

Done

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

Scenario #501 Guam, Marianas

Wooden bridge at 60,53 is a ford.

Must have been something different in the code when these were made.

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

The "good news" is the difference between a ford and a bridge is not as noticeable to 99% of players as it would if it was bumped to being deep water .....

Hex 30,37 is a swamp

row 41,19 to 45,19 and hex 42,17 are listed as cobblestone but appear clear. This is cosmetic and does not effect game play.

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

Scenario #525 Highlanders at Gerbini

AI does not move the PZ3s of formation V. I encountered them on turn 25 and they were still where they had started. Don't know if it a response setting issue or not.

All other units started moving towards the v hexes after I had taken a few.

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

Formation V is Panzergrenadiers. The PZIIIs are formation Y and those are set to react on turn 22.

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

I think I purposefully set the mud up like that and the cobble stones might be a side effect of what I was trying to emulate. I can check next week.

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

Scenario #528 Walwal incident

Scenario text says there is no Ethiopian flag but there now is.

The Ethiopian flag appears as a unit ID tag but on the player selection screen it is still Italy Vs Green.

Since Ethiopia is now in the database I don't know if this can be changed from Green to their flag.

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

The additional National flags and the code that puts them in the game are only ID and V-Hex flags. The player selection screen uses the button flags of the OOB used to create "Ethiopia" and for that part of the code Ethiopia does not exist because it does not have its own OOB

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

Scenario #539 Operation Kutusov

German unit F2 plays the wrong sound for its MG34

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

This is a strange one. Still investigating

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

Mystery solved

I changed the sound for the weapon MG42 LMG (2) this year from a recording of an actual Mg42 LMG firing I recorded off the internet.

So that is indeed an MG42 sound FX but it does sound odd in the game compared to previous MG34/42 FX's.

I will look into this at some point in the future. The sound pitch may need a tweak

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

Try this one. Extract to Games data / Sounds ( SPWW2 )

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

I got to fire an MG-34 a few years ago. This one sounds like it.

You can do pretty much anything in Las Vegas.

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

Scenario #549 Battle of Brody II

Russian reinforcements in formations R and S do not move from their arrival hexes. Their objectives may not be set.

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

I changed each formation's reaction turn from 99 ( AI control ) to one turn after they arrive and both moved off their entry hex and towards the battle area.

Why 99 didn't work for those formations for you is a mystery but with that change, they moved for me

I assume you playtested this for Don originally? Do you know why there is a church in the middle of the road 46,52 ?

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

I’ll have to check next week to see about the church.

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

I never noticed it.

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

Yes that is intended. Please don’t change it.

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

Scenario #551 The Rhino's horn

German reinforcements do not move from their arrival hexes.

I don't recall this happening during playtesting.

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

I saw the same thing running it AI vs AI . As an experiment, I set the reaction turn of the reinforcements to one turn after their arrival and they moved so that is a solution......

BUT

The AI vs AI games I ran the reinforcement units only made it halfway to the center of the map before the game ended in the decisive defeat of the Russians so the reason they did not move may be because the AI decided it didn't need them anywhere to win. I ran it a second time with the same result, all of the reinforcement units were making their way to the front but were well behind the central hill position so they never saw any combat and in both cases, the Russian AI side had lost the battle decisively in half the allotted turns!

IMHO there is no need for those reinforcements and that may be why the AI didn't move them set to reaction 99.

I ran it a third time with the same result so for three AI vs AI battles the game was over by turn 14, 12, 10

It's a turkey shoot. This was the last result that was over by turn 10

That said, if you played the Russians and actually won and the AI didn't react with those reinforcements then there is a problem that setting the reaction turns as I described will fix......or at least get them moving towards the fighting.

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

[quote=DRG;854813]I did manage a victory as the Russians by using a lot of smoke and artillery.

They key was to only engage one Marder or AT gun at a time.

I got a 4:1 MV but it would have been less if the reinforcements had moved.

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

OK , in this case setting the reinforcements to move the turn after they arrive would at least get them moving forward and I will adjust the scenario accordingly

Scenario #558 Hell on wheels: St. Giles

Check loss numbers in scenario details text. Looks like a cat stepped on the keyboard.

Re: RetLT Scenario issues
 

That is because there is no % in the SP alphabet...... The full word "Percent" has to be used not %

Now corrected in the master
