RE: Bolt out of the Blue 4.6 (Soon) - vionville - 02-14-2010

Hi, would the issue of corps attachment be solved? I would like to see WP allied divisions free to attach to different armies. And of course Bundeswehr 6th Division should be able to join 1st Corps, too.

For the quality of german reserves, they are not that good, but they already enjoy the adventage of being able to split into company level, that already gives them edge over WP units, which could only fight as bataillon. I doubt HS regiments and those 6 reserve brigades had enough training, officers, or commuication equipment to fight as effectively in company level as in bataillon level.

And maybe the start time should be set in midnight, too, to avoid the possibility of visibility dropping to 1 hex in first day. I think it is wrong to have a single random factor so heavily affect the entire campaign.
I fire artillery mine into Elxaime's rear area for fun. Really effective this tactic is not, for there are not enough mines, and you have to monitor enemy movement and interdiction events closely to decide where to fire, which I usually don‘t have time to do. For some reason NATO fired no mine into my rear area, but that is not important, for Pact following-up divisions would not show up for another 3 days or so.

For the sake of game balance I think WP should not be further weakened, because now it only has a 4:3 adventage on infantry and engineer, and 5:3 adventage on vehicles, which makes a successful penetration on strategical level doubtful at best. However, it may be a good idea to start the game on midnight and gives some selected WG units and some engineer units extra time to prepare some kind of hasty defence.
Is that possbile to provide some sub scenarios? I would like to play another scenario with my countrymen, partly as a tutor game. But there is not enough time for another grand campaign. Maybe it is possible to have sub scenario of berlin, jutland, and austria?

Yes its all fixed,heres my post from earlier,(i still have no idea why but if you list all the Armies as Corps in the oob it only lets you attach the WP minors and if you have them all as Armies in the oob it only lets you attach the Soviets so ive listed the WP minors as Corps and left the Soviets as Armies and now you can attach everyone, go figure.)

Im not changing the quality, actually it has gotten worse, the series 6 of Bdes was actually made of reserves also so its morale has gone to a D.

I think we covered this in a separate post about the visability and Glenn mentioned that HPS would fix this in the next patch, i could change it myself and probably will since we have no idea when the next patch will be.

There is a possible problem with being able to fire mines with long range rockets when it comes to NATO, they have 2 free turns and could use them to plug the gaps in the minefield on the border before the war even starts and this would not be good, this is also the reason why the forward Nato Artillery units are pushed back from the border and/or fixed at the start of the scenario.

They wont be weakened further, those ratios dont mean as much as you think, the infantry for example the WP is 99% mech inf where NATO has alot of motorized and leg infantry which capabilities are much lower, as for smaller scenarios i doubt i will have time, my time is up last week of April for a full season of sailing and there wont be any more time till december.

I've done what I think is a pretty neat Infantry figs graphics mod for all the Warpac nations however I cannot zip the 100+ files as I receive an error message something like this "cannot perform this operation as the Czech grammer contains letters which are not recognised by the system".
Anyone have a way round this, was thinking of dropping the offending units but would prefer posting the lot as it's around 5MB unzipped.
By the way I cobbled this together over 8 days, yes my wife thinks I'm spending all my time on the PC visiting £$%& sites.
Was gonna post it here but meantime l'll start messing around with Nato but this will take a little bit longer.

Dont know how you zip but zipping with the windows zip doesnt hold as many of those Czech letters, zip it using rar this will eliminate a bunch of that but what ever is left the only way i found around it is to delete it, but i think theres only one in the rar zip to delete and 2 or 3 using the windows zip and lay off those porn sites or youll go blind.

Thanks for you help but I managed to cobble something together but the folks will have to manually overwrite the two Czech files.

I found a pic of a Canadian M-113A2TUA that took part in an exercise in 1989 and i thought that it could interest you.

Edit: Sorry for reuploading it, but i found a rogue pixel and i had to erase it.

A little early

FY 89 DA formally approved a name change from Pedestal Mounted STINGER to AVENGER during the year.

29 April 89 The 3d Armored Cavalry Regiment was the first unit equipped (FUE) with AVENGER.

December 89 AVENGER Production Qualification Testing (PQT) was completed. AVENGER was the only air defense system to successfully complete all environmental testing and a grueling 1500-hours reliability demonstration.

9 February 90 The AVENGER was type classified Standard.

12 April 90 The Defense Acquisition Board (DAB) granted the AVENGER program authority to proceed to full-scale production (FSP).

August 90 AVENGER Total Package Fielding (TPF) began on schedule to the 4th Battalion/5th ADA, 1st Cavalry Division (1CD) at Fort Hood, Texas. The beginning of Operation Desert Shield/Storm (ODS) and the alert of 1CD for deployment to Southwest Asia (SWA) caused AVENGER fielding to be accelerated.
