Re: Taking the Tip - Port Said, 1956
Hard version:
Britain 1478
Egypt 1628
Draw ( took one hex, took out both AA guns)
1) Never got the second Para drop (?)
2) Egypt units KO and LO show them carrying 2A29 65 (2 each). No ammo but the range is 5000. Scared the hell out of me until I realized they weren't decimating my paras with empty weapons.
3) Now I know what Easy meant on the last version.

Re: Taking the Tip - Port Said, 1956
I have no idea what kind of weapon that would be for the Egyptians. I'll take a look.
The paradrops are always a problem as far as accuracy is concerned. This has been true in every scenario I've done with paras. There are a couple of them in the upcoming Caribbean Crisis campaign, which should be issued within the next couple of weeks.
You did well, Narwan, in mentioning this. I myself did know that until I began designing the scenario. This made me dig into the system of reloading. Probably it should have been mentioned more clearly in the text file and I'm glad you brought it up here.
There are two C-119s that make drops on turn one. I have never had just one drop.
The easier scenario is basically different because it gives you a third plane load of British paras, more men to fight with.
I'm off to look at those Egyptian units. I'll be back.

Re: Taking the Tip - Port Said, 1956
I can't find them in the Egyptian list of weapons either. This could be repercussion from the revised OOBs. The initial scenarios were done in version 2.O, if I remember correctly and not 2.5.
I honestly have no idea where they came from! Strange....

Re: Taking the Tip - Port Said, 1956
I am using 2,5 so maybe that is the problem. Oh well, As I said, they weren't carrying ammo for them. Guess I will go back for round two...

Re: Taking the Tip - Port Said, 1956
Please let me know. I'm using 2.51, with the correction for the turret thing.
Send me your scenario that you downloaded and lets see what happens with me, Trip.

Re: Taking the Tip - Port Said, 1956
Second go around:
GB 1502
EG 1402
Draw
Lost 83
They lost 131 + others (won't spoil it)
Recommend both sets of Pathfinders for VC (especially unit L1 commanded by Cpl Grant)
Better drop this time--all were compact and at end of airfield. Loaded up and out. Only had AA guns and some squads left when it ended.

PS I hate maintenance crews.

Re: Taking the Tip - Port Said, 1956
Yeah, those are some mean jokers, Trip!
I got a complete drop trying it again, both versions of it. As you can see by the picture, the British flags show that all units from 3 AC came in, and as you say, a very precise drop...WB
