RetLT Scenario issues

RetLT · #1 March 14th, 2021, 03:30 AM

1. Republican 65mm guns O0 and L0 use different icons than the other 65mm guns. They look like long barreled AT guns while the others look like infantry guns.

2. The text mentions the first use of Molotov cocktails but neither side's units have any.

3. The AI does not use the Nationalist SB-2s even though the scenario is 30 turns long.

1/ There are no Republican 65mm guns O0 and L0 guns in this scenario but there are on the Nationalist side and the oddballs have been corrected

2/ They do now

3/ There are no Nationalist SB-2s but there are Republican SB-2s and the recommended side to play from is the Republican and that is how it is set up to start

Just remember if there is purple in the ID tags, that's the Republican side

Thanks. The Molotovs should make it less of a cake walk.

I never could keep track of who was who in the Spanish Civil War. Communists and Anarchists vs Fascists made it hard to determine who the "Good guys" were.

I sprinkled in a few Bomba Gasolina units on both sides....not all units.

A choice between which is the best and worst option when it comes to Communists / Anarchists / Fascists is a tough call and at the time I suppose it boiled down to who did you personally the least harm. There was nothing wonderful about all three choices and may have come down to the process of elimination that ends with "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" even if that is not the choice you really want....... That and if you are standing in a mob in a town leaning towards the Fascists you don't start singing The Internationale.(if you want to continue breathing...).

When political sides get that far apart there is no middle ground. Keep in mind Mussolini was a Socialist newspaper editor and a member of the National Directorate of the Italian Socialist Party before WW1. He was too much of an Italian nationalist to accept socialist internationalism but they are both two sides of the same coin.

The 'Good Guys' are the ones I am playing. Also all of the scenarios from the DOS version may have issues. Don't worry about them.

I don't mind fixing these things but there are about 300 that were made in DOS and converted to windows format.

The DOS-Windows conversion is not the issue. It's the way the OOB's evolved over time and as good as our DB checks are, there are still things only human eyes can catch. Like oddball gun Icons or that the bombers are not being used
