Scenario: Tomorrow When the War Began: Stand of the Light Horse

[Imp]

While reviewing the 2nd/14th LH regiment I noticed the inclusion of ATGM teams in essentially rifle sections. I contend this raises issues with unit range & filters.
In
The Rifle ATGM Section includes a Javelin ATGM with a range 1600m greater than the section's primary weapon of 400m. To range this section beyond 400m to enable the Javelin to engage armour at distance would permit the primary weapon to fire too.

If I understand this correctly its not an issue, use the Op Fire filter not the Y key
Set range vs infantry & soft targets low to control use of those weapons if needed.
Set range vs armor to something suitable at longer range to exclusively use ATGMs.

For infantry squads with long range RPGs or Grenade launchers equipped with AP capable rounds do the reverse.
Set range vs armor low to restrict engagement range with these weapons.

Yup, That's what I revised but haven't had the opportunity to test and repost yet. The unfortunate problem is that real world responsibilities came crashing down this weekend and I haven't had time to test it yet. I have this habit of cheating and using the range key and deciding when to execute opportunity fire when I start these games, but forget to adjust it to post them.

Also, I understand the issue of battle points raised by Shahadi. Originally, I set this as an advance against the Australian units. But the play balance from vehicle types showed a severe disadvantage to the Australians in unprepared positions. I may go back to that once I test the updated version with adjusted opportunity fire.

As soon as I can get free time, I'll decompress and run the update through a few times then repost it.

Thanks for the input.

Poor commie bastards never stood a chance. Got a DV with minimal losses.

I hid behind smoke and fired at medium range to catch the APCs before they could unload. Concentrated arty fire finished off the survivors.

OZ is saved.

Got an MV as China.

Had to charge head long and ignore losses to succeed.

M-1s did not move forward from their arrival points. they may need to have way points set.
