Thanks!

Gentlemen,

It is finally here! The free ATF Scenario Pack. We have built this scenario pack as our way of saying “Thank you” to all of the great Armored Task Force fans that have supported this game system since its inception. We hope that you will enjoy this additional content as much as we enjoyed building it.

You can download it right here!

ATF Scenario Pack

This Scenario Pack consists of the following elements:

• Scenario: “Bihac 1: Desperate Defense”
• Scenario: “Saudi Arabia 1: Desert Strike”
• Map: Bihac, Bosnia Herzegovina
• Map: Wadi Dabl, Saudi Arabia
• Map: Fort Polk, Louisiana
  

This Scenario Pack is compressed in a compressed ZIP format. If you have Windows 2000 or Windows ME or later Version of Windows, it will appear as a ‘compressed folder’. Otherwise, you will have to have a decompression utility such as WinZip (www.winzip.com) in order to unzip it.
When you extract the files, extract them to the ‘Data’ subdirectory of the Armored Task Force install directory on your computer.

That’s it! If you did everything right, two new scenarios, ‘Bihac 1’ and ‘Saudi Arabia 1’ should appear listed with your other scenarios when you start Armored Task Force and select ‘Begin a New Game’.

OK, here it is - my first mod for a simulation of any kind!

I was having an issue with the vehicle picture graphics, and wanted to be able to quickly ID the units and vehicle by type. I will be working on a different set with profiles of each vehicle as well. Should be a challenge.

The attached file is what I came up with, using the conventions found in FM 101-5-1: Operational Terms and Graphics.

Make sure you don't just unzip the stuff into your ATF directory. Unzip it into a safe place on your desktop or something. I urge you to thoroughly read the PDF file included in the download, as it may save serious heartache later on!

Anyway, feel free to contact me with questions, comments, problems, or requests.

NORAD over at the WarfareHQ forum has been kind enough to post a couple of AARs we developed at the WarfareHQ forum. These are conversations on the use of fires (artillery/mortars/CAS) in support of maneuver operations.

You can see them here:

Just finished a scenario for ATF. Its my first attempt. Its based on an Heavy-Light NTC rotation, that I OCd back in May 1987. Bried describtion of it. TF 4-21 INF (L) conducted an all night infiltration (approx 15 KM) into Death Valley to dislodge the OPFOR CSOP and create breaches for the heavies.

I uploaded to Warfare.com since, I'm not sure how to do it here. the link is http://www.warfarehq.com/archives/showthread.php?t=746

Looking for any and all comments and suggestions for improvement or for follow on scenarios.

Any other scenarios?
