    Feature request: Forced crouching/standing up

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Posted

    The way that I know works is this:

    1) Select a squad (or other formation, but just a bunch of guys)

    2) Issue them more than one waypoint, preferably close together.

    3) Before they reach a waypoint click on it, then add a pause to that waypoint. The pause can be for a period of time, or you can keep pushing the button until it becomes a permanent pause.

    You should now see that your boys stay upright when they reach the waypoint.

    To see how this is different from normal, select another squad, issue them a single waypoint, and watch how they go to ground when they get to it.

    ******* SPOILERS ********

    Excellent thanks very much. I take it by the fact that you got a surrender after an hour you didn't have to give up and retake the ground. I'm guessing the 3 javelins were for the tanks, i expected people to use them on the tanks, when I played it I didnt want to have to risk letting the air support take care of them.

    How did the AI feel, to weak, too aggressive? Did the AI manage to sneak any troops up the middle?

    *************SPOILERS **********************

    I didn't have to give up any of the ground I started with, just called in a lot of arty and used Warriors and Scimitars to destroy individual bits of light armour. I did use the Javelins on the tanks, but only because I'd pushed some Scimitars forward and was worried about them if I'd waited the four minutes for air support. I got the impression though that the tanks had no effective night vision, as I had Warriors plinking away at them with no reply, so perhaps the Javelins were wasted.

    The AI felt ok to me, but I'm not a great player! They did push through the lines but I cleaned them up with Warriors, and they almost got through the middle, but I think the bombardments slowed them down.

    I think the only way to lose this one would be to push forward with your own forces. If Blue just waits for the Reds to come into sight the massive artillery selection wins the battle.

    Again thanks very much. I shall get the briefing written up shortly and I'll post it up here to see if it fits with what people have experienced.

    Also I'd like to do a mission if you fail this mission, where you have to retake the ground from the forces you didn't kill. Is it possible to carry over red troops from a previous mission, do I have to make them campaign troops?

    If so I might not bother because it doesn't look like too many people will lose this mission, and I don't want to have to redeploy that battalion lol

    Not sure how campaigns work, sorry!

    Hellfire that usurgent

    I don't question the military value of killing a particular insurgent, nor particularly of combat troops need to dehumanise the enemy (although I think that comes home to roost for our troops in later years, just IMO), but most of us here are not in combat at the moment, many of us will never be, and remembering that people who oppose us are still people isn't going to cause us to freeze at the crucial moment.
