BoB Campaign Question - Page 2

I also played this campaign recently and saw the insufficient allocation of purchase points, as I couldn't buy the full company IIRC, 1-2 sections were missing- you can, however, fix this easily by yourself by re-editing the campaign, a task on 1min. Just gotta be honest with yourself, don't give yourself 1000 points extra, this would scrap any game balance...

Are you refering to the start up scenario of that campaign or one further in ?

It was right at the start IIRC - I played it about 2 months ago, so I'm not sure.

Cheers John,
Enjoy the campaign, hopefully you will have better luck (or management!) than me. - Became a statistic in the first battle.

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.

Cheers

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

Quote:

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.*
