Good work DD,

If I find enough free time I will take a look !

Thanks. Hopefully when I get my Enhanced version CD I can do even more! I have ideas piling up and need to get them organized and put on paper before I forget them. I want to get this one out of the way and tweaked so I can get to work on the Drug War Campaign (Mexico-US 2005)

Hi, send an email to me at playtesting@combat-campaigns.com with the email address that you want the file sent to and I'll send it along. Be forwarned, the attachment is about 1.5 MB in size.

ISSUES!

There are 2 known problems with the campaign. They do not cause problems with gameplay but they are there.

D-65 is the Company Executive Officer's Tank. It should be a standard M60A3 but with a blade attached. Since there was not one in the current OOB I replaced it with a CEV (identical in about everyway except for the main gun). I then edited the data to replace the gun with the standard 105mm M68 found on the other M60's. The graphic will show the CEV BUT the unit itself is acurate in all other ways.
When I set up the scenario template I accidently left the Soviet HQ loaded and during editing I deleted the carrying vehicle. This causes the Soviet HQ to never enter the battle (cannot be deployed). It may be that way in all 11 scenario's as I used the 1st scenario as the basis for all the others. The only effects it may cause are to the command functions of Soviet side command. If should not impact the US Side at all.

Hi Double Deuce,

About that second issue. I'm not sure I understand completely. There are no HQ units at any time for the Russians? I'd think that would be a serious setback for them.

DD, I hate to be the one to pee on your boots but you've crippled the Russian AI side. You've chopped the top of the command structure for rallying for one and reduced the effectiveness of it's artillery becasue the top man in the chain of command is missing. You've also elliminated any chance of the Human player from killing the AI's commander and gaining the benifits of the gaining the victory points for the kill and disruption of the command structure that would give to the game

The game needs an A0 unit for the AI to work properly. You cannot know that "They do not cause problems with gameplay" becasue you've never played that campaign with the AI's A0 in place.

DD.......is there some reason why the "M60 Mine Plough" (unit 197 ) wasn't usable in this case?? It uses the same 105mm M68 80 gun as the other M60A3's
