2 brand new scenarios from SaS TrooP's forge!
1 Attachment(s)
OK, today I am presenting you 2 another scenarios. After VRY long break form scenario designing I decided to release these two. They are still in beta phase and needs better betatesting, but right now: feel free to play them and comment!
Here is the description of both of them Scen 275 HECTIC THROW - describes meeting engagement between Somalia and Ethiopia during Ogaden War. Pretty tough one I think, but still complete able! Code:
Hectic Throw* And the second one... Scen 276 HIT OF NO RETREAT - depicts fictional raid of North Korean Commando over South Korean missile facility. Came to my mind when SK announced they really dispose such a rocket and are testing it (earlier this year). Code:
Hit Of No Retreat* Both are packed into one .zip file. install into Scenarios folder of SPMBT. Feedback requested! |

OK, have anyone played them after such a time and provide feedback? I would like to know what to change or what to improve etc.

Re: 2 brand new scenarios from SaS TrooP's forge!
Just finished Hectic Throw as the Somalians. A tough and enjoyable scenario in my opinion, got a minor victory after some hard fighting with 9000 points against 3000. The Ethiopians lost some 800 men, 80 APCs and 30 tanks, so it's a sizable fight, but well worth the time investment.
Also, very good to see an original choice for subject matter. I would love to play some more battles based on some of the more obscure historical campaigns. Are you by chance considering making more scenarios about the Ogaden war? About the only criticism I have concerns the Ethiopian forces that don't activate until later in the battle (the T-34s and the Cubans et al.). Since the player as the Somalians has use of a helicopter, it's easy to locate these forces way before they activate. I found this a bit illusion braking. Maybe they should be reassigned as reinforcements for the Ethiopians, only arriving on board on the designated turn? So all in all: very good scenario, hoping you'll make more in the future! |

Good to have an opinion finally! I generally wonder if scenario is not too hard and amount of enemies isn't just too big.
Still, I am now thinking about the issue with standing units. They actually appear on map as reinforcements, but when I was testing it I lost my chopper due to very lucky shoot as far as I remember. I wonder if setting their reaction turn to proper one should solve that problem. Any ideas? |
Re: 2 brand new scenarios from SaS TrooP's forge!
I'm happy to give feedback, it's a fine scenario!
I wouldn't call it too hard, it's a tougher fight than most other scenarios I've played but that's very fine in my opinion. Also the historical situation was desperate for the Somalians at this point, so it fits thematically very well. The amount of enemy units is just right, the battle felt like a delaying action just as it should. As it comes to the sitting units, I have very little experience (read: none) in scenario design, I just enjoy playing them. But I'd think the units should be made to come in as reinforcements on the actual turn you want them to move against the player, because now they just sat there when I discovered them with the heli. Hope you'll make more of these historical scenarios! |
