Enemy gone walkabout

Hi folks. In a couple of scenarios I've designed, the enemy head off to an obscure corner of the map for no apparent reason. Can anyone tell me why and how to stop them? I've included the scenario...

Change unit type, civilians and rank

Would it be hard to add the option to change unit typ in scenario editer? The reason I wanted to was to allow an artillery piece on a barge to fire indirectly.

Also - could civilians be added to...

Re: The "Z" direct fire key - are they even trying

It seems most people use "Z" on enemies not yet spotted. Am I the only one who often uses out of sight infantry/MG on the advance AFTER spotting the enemy but before firing with units that can see? ...

Re: Concept for campaign - Vietminh/VC

I thought about continuing into Cambodia and against China. The VC end in 1975 so there would be no chance to re-equip after that, I had decided to end it with the fall of Saigon but if an...

Re: Concept for campaign - Vietminh/VC

Does anyone know where I could find a map of Hoa Binh from about the right time (1951)?
If it happened to include more info on where actions took place during Hoa Binh that would be great.

Re: Standing up to China

If you wanted to you could even fight on a supertanker although you may need reinterpret the scale for that to work.

Helping rebels/minoreties in opposing countries. This wouldn't match Chinese...

Re: Standing up to China

Two airborne commando groups fighting for a small island. You could make it as similar or as different as you wanted to the first battle of the "Balken wars 2008" campaign.

Re: Standing up to China

First, let me suggest pick a timeline of events which suit what you want to design and go with it.

Politically there is tension between China and: Philippines, Japan, Vietnam, over ownership of...

Re: Ideas how to improve WinSP MBT/WW2 !

Would it be possible/hard to allow a negative value for units. It would be useful for scenario designers - eg mission being to kill the soldiers but not the civilians without having the AI enemy mow...

Re: Concept for campaign - Vietminh/VC

Yes ARVN, French, US - also perhaps ROK, Aussie, and the odd warlord/rival revolutionary thrown in for good measure.
Not planning to be very historical, more true to the general flow of the...

Hi Guys. I read a story from the Korean war in which Chinese and US tanks were too close to each other to use their gun-sights. This lead to an American gunner bore-sighting his gun while all the...

Re: Standing up to China

Historically the Vietnamese have been willing to face China with only logistical support from the Soviet Union in the 1970s and I believe have skirmished with the Chinese more recently as well - You...

Concept for campaign - Vietminh/VC

I'm thinking about designing a very long campaign played from the communist side of the Vietnam conflict.
Anything other than decisive loss would advance you to the next battle. Some battles will...

Re: Marine River force in Vietnam

Re: Marine River force in Vietnam

Most of my playtest run-throughs I had a marine company with 1 platoon replaced by engineers, a platoon of mortars, 3 "squadrens" of 3 PBRs with a mix of weapons, an FO and an ammo LVT. I usually...

Re: Marine River force in Vietnam

Suhir - the briefing was intended to convey "Don't go up the road!". When I re-read it without an Australian use of words I'm guessing "roll up" suggested rolling in tanks rather than just "go to". ...

Re: Marine River force in Vietnam

I did play test them all and got a DV for each - obviously knowing the opponent's layout that's not due to any gifts in my play. With the ambush I lost a boat to the 14 mil AA (which I'm happy to be...
