USS Bataan LHD-5
 

I am nearing completion on the Red Line Syria battle between the 1/6 Marines and a Syrian Infantry Brigade. So, while thinking about the boat, I decided to modify the existing oil tanker map, slot 258 to create an LHD, the USS Bataan. My thinking is that the number of birds available is dependent on the number of remaining healthy birds from the last flight. If say, you lost an Osprey, then you would have one less bird to mount up with.



Enjoy.

Share your thoughts.

Oh, BTW I have not heard reactions to the battalion command structure, check it out at Building Battalion Command Structure in winSPMBT. It is a reply to Roman's headquarters thread.

Might consider adding some AA weapons if you want to allow the opposition to have aircraft.

Looking good.

Re: USS Bataan LHD-5
 

My only criticism is the size. It would be good if the scale was in ft., but in meters it's 3x too large. I am toying with something similar with a scenario I'm working on. Very cool, and shows how versatile this game is!

Hehe - was playing around...

USS Bataan (vehicle scale) Alone and with Units.
Done very quickly creating "bunkers" for elevators, SAM/RAM Launchers, landing pads, etc.

With a bit of fiddling could make it look better (get rid of some lines, etc). Use of bunkers allows marines, helos, etc to "board" the vessel and be hidden

Forget the scale;)... Looks great!

Re: USS Bataan LHD-5
 

VERY nice!
Given the scale of aircraft, helos, LCMs and hovercraft it looks damn good as is.

Re: USS Bataan LHD-5
 

That is.. friggin' awesome! Very well done! :)

Re: USS Bataan LHD-5
 

Thanks for the kind words folks! :D

I need to adjust some of the icons (phalanx instead of twin gatlings, for instance), and then I guess create a scenario so anyone interested can have access to her.

Quick question: is there a way to include unit icons in a scenario or do i need to include OOB and .SHP file?

Re: USS Bataan LHD-5
 

If they're already existing icons you can use the Scenario Editor to give a unit any icon you want.
If they're not part of the standard icon set ...
