Design issue report for Scenario #139 Battle of the Beachhead

[wulfir]

I'm working on it. Map needs a touch up too. I'll need a few days.

Don't remember editing any RPGs out, but it's been a while...

I checked back to OOB's around the time it was built and the Polish Naval infantry did have RPG's etc.

The txt file for that scenario was created Sept 4.2005 which was the same time as WinSPMBT Version 2.0 was released so it was built with win V1 OOB's and I have a copy of them and they all have all weapons slots filled and all those units show a changed flag in Scenhack.

..........and yeah, it's been a while and I forget a lot of things done in 2005 as well .......it's why we built checks like this into the software ( and why I keep copies of the OOB's )

Here's an updated version of scn 0139...

Almost everybody on the Player 1 side has an RPG now. More of pretty much everything else too. Some of the equipment is guesswork but judging from info online most of it seems to have been in service with the 7th Division at some point...

I added 82mm mortars to the Naval Infantry Companies. Don't know what kind of transport the Regimental 120mm mortars had but gave them trucks. Also included T-55s and some other stuff. The anti tank company has six ATGMs but is divided into three parts instead of two platoons for better flexibility. Added recoilless rifles to this company too but have no clue how many there were (if any). Player 1 will now have a few PT-76 survivors from the first wave and the full 16 tank company from the 4th Regiment.

The Polish player will have some BM-21s (20 Dywizjon Artylerii Rakietowej)but is otherwise weak in artillery and must compensate with Mig-23 fighter-bombers...

Also - because of changes made to the Polish 7th Division I opted to change the setting to Aug 1985 and not 1989. I have made a few scenarios early on where WWIII takes place in 1989 but for some time I have used John Hackett's World War III as a sort of frame for NATO vs WP scenarios where WWIII starts Aug 4, 1985.*
*
Here I included information from a now semi-famous map from 1970 ("Plan Operacji Zaczepnej Frontu Nadmorskiego") that details operations of the Polish Coastal Front including what seems to be a seaborne operation against Fakse, Zealand.*

(I ignored the nuclear weapons in the plan. Total game killers. )*
