Dynamic Campaign: The Best and the Worst

It is early 2010.

You are a veteran officer of the British Yorkshire Regiment with tours in Iraq and Afghanistan behind you.

You are preparing for another trip to Helmland province, but just prior to deployment your orders change.

The government of Yemen has asked for UK assistance in their struggle against the terrorist network Al-Qaida.

You are to lead a small British battlegroup with a supporting role and help the army of Yemen deal with the terrorist threat. Officially, that is the story - but all is not what it seem to be...

Ok Imp, here we go - this is the modern one (it'll be a bit of desert-fighting to begin with, hope you don't mind).

Install the files into your campaign folder. It will use campaign slot 018. The first scenario will be a 1 turn affair. The second one is where the game proper starts.

Be sure to save the game before the battle ends, preferably on the very last turn before the end screen comes up. This must be done to allow additional scenarios to be added to the camp.

Don't be reckless with your core. Some refitting points have been added but you can not allow yourself to wast any units.

Good Luck and Good Hunting!

Cheers for the quick response

No worries!

Just remember to save the game before the battle ends.

Well Wulfir praise where its due I have only just looked at & have to say was not quite expecting that level of detail. A scant few hours after you get mission parameters I have the start of a tailor made campaign with a nice background report. intel etc just like a normal user campaign. Rock on looking forward to this thanks, nice map by the way which brings me on to my next commision.

You seem pretty good at knocking out nice maps pretty fast after all quite a few in the game are yours from scenerios you have created. I was wondering if you would not mind if you could knock up a few with PBEM or vs AI generated battles in mind. Specifically made to be reasonably balanced for meeting engagements as most maps are more suited to advance delay.
Off to see if I can keep my boys alive & ever make it to Afganistan or wherever you take me.

That is easy - any particular country you had in mind?

Damn MGs just shot at a Panther & killed everyone on board & it was going so well.

Been playing this as well... It's been fun. I lost a couple of vehicles in the 1st battle.. Should have used my Yemenis ;-)

The second battle was a lot easier.

Looking forward to more.

Will be sending to Wulfir for the next instalment shortly as you said good fun, LOS round top right village was a bit challenging think partly due to dust from my mortars. Have you made any changes to your core? I swaped snipers jeep for a Stalwart ammo carrier as plenty of transport & changed 2 Jackals to GL equiped instead of slap for variety. Sold 2 jackals & scouts at start of 2nd battle for play balance as they are pretty powerfull finding the enemy well. Also for play balance think should only have 2 or no Scimitars till things hot up as they make light work of snipers etc so think would slow your advance down a bit. Sure Wulfir would be intreasted in your views

Same procedure as before with the new files.

The mission to Yemen is progressing fine in most areas, except maybe in the media - both Arab media and at home.

Althoug the rebel movement is crumbling there is no room for errors...
