Scenarios and/or Campaigns for 2023
 

If anyone has scenarios or campaigns they are working on that you would like added to the 2023 update please post them in this thread no later than March 26/ 2023

This thread is only for new scenarios or campaigns for 2023

Thanks

....so with everything that's been going on nobody has built a scenario for MBT at all this year?

Re: Scenarios and/or Campaigns for 2023
 

I sent you one for an invasion of Fiery Cross "island".

Still working on Hue 1968. Trying to condense 2 months of fighting into a single scenario is "interesting".

Re: Scenarios and/or Campaigns for 2023
 

I thought I saw someone drop some current event scenarios not too long ago...

Re: Scenarios and/or Campaigns for 2023
 

Anything anyone wanted to have added to the update was to be put here so I don't have to go hunting for them in different threads..... That's why I posted this thread.

Yes, I have the Fiery Cross Reef. It's the only one submitted aside from one titled "NATO INTERVENES!" last July so right now I have two ( 2 ) new scenarios submitted

Re: Scenarios and/or Campaigns for 2023
 

I've been very unproductive this year. Still trying to fix that old Belgian vs Poland scenario from way back when...

...a little short on scenario ideas too...

Lots of fog of war in Ukraine too. Some of the things that seem to happen there do not make sense. What's up with the Russian Kamikaze Bakhmut Banzai charges? :confused:

Re: Scenarios and/or Campaigns for 2023
 

It appears to be an innovative way to deal with prison overcrowding.....make Ukraine run out of bullets the "hard way"..... after all it's not Putins son at the front ......also, it would appear basic tactical refinements made by "modern" armies to minimize casualties since ww2 are not taught at Frunze Military Academy. Falling back on old habits is easy. Welcome to 1942 comrade.... The more things change the more they stay the same

Re: Scenarios and/or Campaigns for 2023
 

I still have 25 MBT and 5 WW2 scenarios, 2 MBT CG and 3 WW2 CG, that I started on two years ago sitting on my hard drive. I have not had the energy, focus and drive to bring them to completion in all that happen to my family since then. Eventually those three items will fill back up again and I can get them to a state where Tom can take a crack at them.

If only I had my mind of now and my body of my 20s ...

Re: Scenarios and/or Campaigns for 2023
 

Today I will stop adding more to the game and start checking the few new scenarios for both games I have, then finish the GG write-up, which shouldn't take long as the number of "big" changes we have made to the code is not as significant as other years. More effort has been put into the Ukraine OOB than anything and there are no "gee whiz!" code changes

So HOPEFULLY the updates will be ready by months end......maybe.

@Suhiir,
Why the heck your scenario 533 starts with 2 Spec Forces boats near the island out in the open with NO COVER or Smoke? They are sitting ducks. As soon as you move them they get deleted....smh. I know in real life SF don't do suicide charges. Seems like this scenario needs to be seriously revised.

Re: Scenarios and/or Campaigns for 2023
 

Maybe unload them?
SEALs can swim you know.
SEAL units have a fair amount of smoke available to them and "just happen" to have thermal vision.
The now the empty boats make great fire magnets!

When firing the enemy frequently reveals their position, SEALs "just happen" to make fairly good forward observers, and I seem to recall a rather large number of aircraft /drones with precision munitions being in the scenario.

Re: Scenarios and/or Campaigns for 2023
 

This is a question for everyone else.......would anyone think their best option would be to dive out of a boat and swim in this game?

Re: Scenarios and/or Campaigns for 2023
 

If that is in the mission brief/write-up for the scenario, then sure; if it's not, then I am not likely to try the option, given that sometimes the game has the nasty habit of killing units in water if they don't have the magic water movement number.

So if the scenario calls for units to play frogman and swim in the surf or river, then cool; otherwise, I would be moving the boats and still wondering why boats don't have some kind of smoke generation device...

Re: Scenarios and/or Campaigns for 2023
 

Exactly, when all the units appeared I saved the game so I don't have to start up with the airshow and much to my surprise the B zodiac WILL allow you to unload but the C zodiac......NOT SO MUCH

Fortunately, if you can get the Vipers to that end of the island they can thin the opposition a bit and then you can put the wet guys back in their boat and get to shore..... or at least that's what I managed to do

So "be creative" folks. Now that everyone knows what to do...... enjoy!

I guess I just assumed everyone that played WinSPMBT knew US Navy SEALs are frogmen.

Revised scenario included.
Unzip in your Scenarios folder.

Re: Scenarios and/or Campaigns for 2023
 

Thanks for the advice....😏. @Suhiir, What changes are made in the revision? 😁

Re: Scenarios and/or Campaigns for 2023
 

Just a note that SEALs and USMC Recon can swim.

I try to create scenarios that require the player to think a bit not just shoot.

Re: Scenarios and/or Campaigns for 2023
 

Nothing wrong with that Suhiir!

Love the thinking outside the box!
