Description :
With the release of Shock Force 2 on Steam, I wanted to create an relatively simple introductory scenario with a low troop density thus easy to manage where new players can practice small units infantry tactics against an insurgent force. In the end the map size and the length of the battle are probably too large for a real basic scenario but that was my initial starting point.
The scenario has you lead a single platoon of British infantry plus support elements, belonging to the C Company, 2nd Battalion, Parachute Regiment and takes place in september 2008, early morning in Helmand province, Afghanistan, in the green zone roughly halfway between Sangin to the North and Gereshk to the South West.
Mission length : 1H30 minutes plus extra time.
Map size : 1150 X 1680m

There are three AI plans each with a different and semi randomized setup.
Play as Blue attacker against Red AI only.
 
Install :
Make sure your game is patched to version 2.04 and you have the British module, then extract in : documents/battlefront/Shock Force 2/game files/scenarios
or for a Steam install : steam root folder/battlefront/Shock Force 2/game files/scenarios

Motherboard throughput / data transfer is just as important as top end cards, SSDs and ram.
You can only process data as fast as the slowest piece in the system.
 
Tom's Hardware used to be a good source for matching components.  Might want to nose around over there if you haven't already.

Maybe that's because it isn't what was written. The author is saying that it is confusing because certain content requires certain other content. The direct quote
"To make matters even more convoluted nearly all the DLC/expansion modules have different prerequisites (these have all been listed below). Some DLC requires you to also purchase the engine upgrades in order to function. Others require that you own other DLC modules. Consequently, not only are things confusing but things now cost more than you may have initially thought."
I happen to think that Battlefront's upgrade and patching methods are the most archaic of any game I still play. I like Combat Mission, and own most of the titles, but it can be considered behind the times for some of us. And certainly for me.
 
 

Seems like a very impressive and by far the most detailed look at the CM family of games.  An enjoyable read and summary of every title released since 2000.  Re: "Just because ... people are confused does not mean something is confusing..." that speaks for itself...

I've never heard of "Dirtweasle". But, I was a massive fan of The Performing Ferret Band.

Generally good to:
Never send a team anywhere a scout hasn't been.
Never send a squad anywhere a team hasn't been.
Never send a platoon anywhere a squad hasn't been.
Never send a vehicle anywhere infantry hasn't been.

You missed me, dont lie.  ;)
