vs AI Tournament (Actually a Campaign)

[iCaMpWiThAWP]

Are we getting any arty support other than what we buy?
same goes for other units(grunts, heavy weapons, air, tanks, cavalry)

Some hard choices, some easy ones, interesting!

I'm going to go with:

   Force                 Cost   Base(rem) Support(rem)
                                  400       100
 1x u244 Soviet HQ         59     341       100
 1x u434 82mm Mortar Sec   32     309        68
 2x u610 Maxim HMG [1]     32     277        36
 1x u64  Engineer FT       25     252        11
 9x u184 Marines Section  180      72        11
 2x u185 Scouts            26      46        11
 2x u480 Sniper            46       0       (11)

If possible, I'd like my Marines to be in three platoons of three sections each. I'd also prefer my mortar section to be in its own group. For the rest it doesn't matter though I'd prefer at least the support units be kept separate from base units.

This has possibilities, thanks,
Brian

I can do that.

I have your campaigns set up and the 1st full scenario included BUT I started the official thread in the wrong section.

Once I get that thread moved to the correct place I will post the campaign files and you two can have at it.

Thanks for your effort.

Look forward to starting this.

Your core force is only what is listed and is all you can rely on for the campaign. Replacements, reinforcements, reserves and added support depend on your mission (each scenario) and if the Regional Commander (me for now) thinks you are worth the risk of squandering his limited resources based on feedback from my Commissar's. (I am in the final stages of fleshing out a campaign management system for this).

[Double_Deuce]

As a caveat, each of you will be assigned a Political Commissar unit as part of your force. How you "manage" him in your battles can bring you great benefit as well as extreme hardship as the campaign progresses.

If you allow his "unit" into positions where they can gain kills he will happily report your glory in service the State to the Regional Commissar and they will look favorably upon you as an up and coming commander. This will likely result in extra bodies to lead and extra ammo for your guns. You may also see the glorious Red Air Force over your sector more often.

However, if you allow his "unit" to get killed, and you survive the campaign, your future may involve being one of the first lucky visitors to the new Gulag System our leaders are in the process of setting up.

And if you think you can get him out of your hair by getting him killed, I can assure you he will be replaced in time for your next venture onto the battlefield.
