Omaha Beach - Scen #9

[zovs66]

Do you want us to test with water/beach only scenarios?

I have never seen any "junk" terrain anyway that I am aware of.

Also have lots of high count scenarios.

I just fired up Omaha an I do see this on the left side, is this junk terrain?

In this one particulae case that is not junk. The original sceanrio just used green grass to represent the ships and I changed it to pavement and missed that one spot..... now corrected

Turn 2.

In that scenario those gray hexes represent troop ships that reload LC's

The green grass is the junk

Okay got my first every CTD in 23 some years.

Was playing #400 Tarawa, on turn 17. Had the green junk (see above).

Just ended my turn and the Japs fired at me and then my OBA hit the island and poof she was gone.

Not sure what is needed. I have the last save I had.

Hold onto that, we may need it

Roger that. I don't think I can proceed in that game. Will try later to see if I can advance beyond turn 17.

Fired up SPMBT and just did an auto generated battle as an assault with a beach in 1988 with the Soviets assaulting the Danes. Interesting so far, smaller map (80x150).

The first thing I noticed that is different between SPWW2 and SPMBT is an amph assault is this:

In SPWW2 when all your troops are loaded on LCV or Alligators you can hit the 'h' key and select the A0 leader and then exit you have the A0 now selected, and then you can do 'b' key for OBA.

In SPMBt when all your troops are loaded on GSP Ferry's (Soviets) and then hit the 'h' key and select the A0 leader and then exit you are still on the GSP Ferry for that A0 leader.

EDIT, you can still plot arty with the Ferry A1 but ot the A0 leader (?).

I just tried that and went through the same H and B sequence and both games behaved the same way

WW2 shows "Spotting unit is A1> LCMI"
MBT shows "Spotting unit is A1> Barge"

In both cases I am taken to the bombard menu so in my test ( I just let the AI buy and deploy amphib units )pressing " ......the 'h' key and select the A0 leader and then exit you have the A0 now selected) brought me to the LCMI the AO was on not the A0

In my case I selected the AO from the Left list but I also tried selecting him from the right list and on Exit I was brought to the A1 LCMI not the AO

Well that was a disaster. I was trying to phase in the smoke for the amph assault by setting to turns 1-4 but on the first turn the Leo's and TOW's smoked almost all the ships carrying T-80s and one out 4 companies was annihilated lol.

Going back to turn 1 to reprogram the artillery smoke.

So that was still not great for a test. This seems to call for a custom scenario for MBT, so I think I'll create one using a full size map and correct amph assault force of some kind.
