Liveload Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 Hello All! Hope you're having a great weekend thus far. Today we are adding Al Hamamiyat to the key battles of the Spring/Summer Offensive of 2019 that we've covered thus far. A huge heap of praise goes to Aurelius for helping make this one happen! Here's the dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ynsfkys3cvupgfb/Al Hamamiyat.btt?dl=0 The map is 3km x 2km. It is a Blue Attack Scenario that is best played as Blue. There is a simple Blue AI plan for those that wish to create a QB map from it. The scenario has the player taking over command of local SAA forces at close to dusk on July 11, 2019. Hope everyone's weekend just got a tiny bit sweeter. Respectfully, LL 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelius Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Everyone, make sure Abu Aurelius survives! Or else.... P.S. Make sure you rob the UAZ's of 7.62x54R. You will need it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liveload Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 Hi All, Sorry about the radio silence. We have been busy working on our next phase of the project, which is a campaign covering the Spring/Summer offensive of 2019 from early May thru current. Right now we are testing new scenario concepts and creating maps. All of your favorite characters will be making a return. Abu Bob, Abu Steve, Abu Allmani, the GoPro Units...and a few new ones that you'll hopefully enjoy even more. I know you're asking, "but how are they making a return if I killed them in the last scenario?!?!". Ask yourself how many times a terrorist has been declared dead only to turn up at a later date alive and well... We'll post some screens as we get closer to completion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liveload Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 Hi All! Hope you had a great weekend. Time for a quick update. Our first 4k x 4k master map of Al Arbaeen and Al Zaka is coming along nicely so I thought I'd post a couple of in-progress shots: Al Arbaeen area: Al Zaka area: Kafr Nabudah is also a 4k master map and is currently in progress along with Hobait, Jibeen, and Al Mughayr...many more to come as we progress. To save you time in hunting around the thread, here's list of published scenarios thus far in the form of Dropbox links: Tal Malah - Blue Defend Qasabiyeh - Blue Defend Qasabiyeh - Blue Attack Kabani - Meeting Engagement Attera - Blue Attack Al Hamamiyat - Blue Attack Respectfully, LL 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Judging by the imagery, there are some well-crafted maps that look the part there mate. Well done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncc1701e Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Playing Qasabiyeh - Blue Attack is quite fun as Blue. Nice scenario. I do not want to give some spoilers. But, after my second attempt, I am still running out of time. 50 minutes is quite short since I am a very cautious player. But, I have not used all my artillery assets... so back for a third attempt. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boche Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 One of my pet peeves with scenarios is time limits, Often i find them too limiting. When I run infiltrations, and assaults in real life they take way longer than the two hours alot of the long scenarios give you. I would always ask for atleast 3 hours... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an easy battle by any means, I can't tell you how many times my guys ended up getting their heads chopped off during testing... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liveload Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Quick update: Kafr Nabudah 4k is coming along nicely. Qasabiyeh, Kabani, and Tal Malah have been updated internally for the campaign. Here's some in-progress shots of Kabani after the elevation rework.

IICptMillerII Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Just wanted to drop by and compliment those working on this on their mapping ability. The maps for this look pretty fantastic to my eye. As someone who constantly feels held back by my lack of ability with the map editor I have to say I'm very impressed, and only a touch jealous! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For best results, focus your artillery assets on one target. There was once even a version where we had airplanes, but that got thrown out due to ZU-23-2 pick ups and their AA role. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to identify targets before sending some arty shells. Playing iron difficulty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the time comes for Qasabiyeh to be revised for campaign, we will take into account the length of calling time. Everyone who play these scenarios, feel free to post your experiences here or pm me or @Liveload. More feedback is good. It's an never ending conundrum of scenario design for Red forces whether to give the player 2S1 or D30 howitzers. Is the extra ammo (120) worth the extra time for calling in fire mission or vice versa, is faster calling time worth the reduced load out (70)...

Lethaface Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 @Aurelius, to my surprise I discovered some US and Dutch troops among the enemies in Al Hamamiyat scenario. Are they there to buff up the nusra front? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelius Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 US are mostly TOW 2 units. No further need to explain that one. Other nationalities are mainly snipers and were added to represent various other nationalities taking part in operations. If you check their names in the editor and cross check that with various reports of who got killed (which emir/commander) or wounded, who took part in battle and so, you'll get the picture. They were mostly added for laughs. But, I can say "Russian" FAC's and "Russian" arty and air assets will play a role in the upcoming campaign! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lethaface Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Nice screens What's that kind of ordnance? My scouts came under fire and took a casualty. In the ensuing firefight I have now moved up the Tiger forces to the edges of town, with AFVs ooerating in support. The Hind has just started it's runs. I'm under some kind of directed mortar fire now, which caused another casualty among my scouts. But for the rest so far I have been lucky. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't met the TOW's yet, although encountered one AT-4C. I seem to have blunted the infantry assault and the Hind has flown off after just 2 runs, so I guess it's time to prepare for the attack. Some scouts are just cresting the hill, so timing seems ok. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
