Meeting engagements problem

[DRG]

I ran a generated Russian Campaign to the fourth battle and was offered a Delay ( three times ) defend ( once ) , assault ( once ) and a special battle (once).

The first three battles were meeters.

The attack helo problem is a separate issue and will be looked into

As stated before, the campaign I've been running had produced only meeters since v4 upgrade, but clearly this could just be coincidence so I ran tests in that campaign from the end of battle 21 (yes, it's a long campaign!).

I ran the next battle 25 times, which seems a lot but statistically is a small sample with a margin of error.

Results:

Meeter 8 (24%)
Advance 5 (20%)
Assault 2 (8%)
Delay 1 (4%)
Defend 4 (16%)
Special(advance) 2 (8%)
Special (assault) 2 (8%)
Special (delay) 1 (4%)
Special (defend) 0

Clearly there is not a problem per se with meeters, what I and others saw is just coincidence. Meeter appears to be the most probable outcome so it is not surprising that 3 or 4 battles in a row could be of that type, and it is somewhat less probable that the same could happen with the other types. But running the set-up again will ultimately give a different option, so those who don't like meeters have the option to roll again.

Well, good to know. Unfortunately I will have to wait a bit longer to find out of myself since I accidentaly saved another battle over my campaign...

You could use a backup program to automatically create a copy of the files in the Saved Games folder. There are plenty of free programs about, and they can be scheduled to backup at a fixed time or run manually, i.e. end of every session of play.

I always save every turn of every battle, worse case scenario I might have to go back in time but wouldn't lose the whole campaign.

Thanks for the suggestion, but this is the first time I overwrite a save game of steel panthers in, what is it now, 12-13 years?

Of course, I am older than 12-13 years ago, but still.
