BoB Campaign Question

[Blade]

G'day, thought I'd have a crack at this campaign.

When assigning LZ's for the first air drop, the time until drop varies from 8.3 to 9.0. Which means I have to burn all those turns before anything shows up. The notes says towards the end of turn 1.

Am I missing something?

Probably you omitted to plot your DZs in the pre-game bombardment turn, as paras are meant to be done. They will then arrive on turn 1 (or later if you set the delay adjust up before plotting) at the drop zones that you plotted pre-game.

Air assault operations are planned well in advance, as are level bomber missions. Therefore, if a player forgets to plot them as preplanned bombardment then they really should not arrive at all. However, as a convenience for those players who forget to do that, we allow them to be plotted as if on-call strike air but at a very long delay.

Sounds like you need to restart, and this time remember to plot your drops as pre-game bombardments.

This is why reading the accompanying text for the campaign is always a good idea

During deploy, load your paras and your support Recon formation on their 11 aircraft and target 11 of the available 15 DZs on the map. Load 'em like you want them. You get to choose flight direction and which 11 DZs to use, but assign only one aircraft to each DZ. Historically, they flew in from the left side of your map. I suggest loading your paras so that each plane carries some snipers or scout units. On game turn 1, you will have no troops on the map. They will arrive and jump at the end of turn 1.*

Thanks Andy.

Don, I did mention "The notes [sic] says towards the end of turn one" so I must have read it.

Was probably thinking of England at the time and missed it;-)

All good now and thanks for the quick responses.

You will find an AAR of the first two missions here (in italian, sorry...but with images):

BTW, I finished also the third mission (a draw).
