  1. Hello.

    I play this game from time to time, played some standalone battles and quick battles and now I am trying campaign. (I have only the basic version, patched to the latest version).

    I read this article about storming the building, but my men are still dying doing so.

    I park Strikers at the front, pepper the structure with their 0.5 and use assault order combined with "Target" order. But still, some of my soldiers are killed/wounded during entry.

    I am struggling with the second mission now.

    Any advice on this matter?

    Thanks.

  2. Well,

    maybe you misunderstood mi initial question:)

    First thing is, I talked about Quick battles.

    Second thing, its about how computer picks forces.

    I have played several of those random generated battles until now, playing as US and Syrians. I have chosen a lot of different force type as Syria and the better the troops and their equipment, the better result, of course. So far I have the best results with Republican Guard and even better, Special Forces. But, only if I have given massive handicap to US, like 30 percent less troops, I could get major victory.

    So I think the game does not create balanced forces in Quick battles scenarios.

    In previous similar games, like all Combat missions, or Steel Panthers, all units are fiven a points value according to their effectivity (quality and equipment). So force which is inferior in those areas would be substantially larger to offset it. But I think the random generator here picks forces only according to organisation structure.

    example: If I choose "small" battle, there would be something similar to two platoons to fight. So on one side there will be 6 BMPs 2 with infantry (regulars) and on the other side there will be 8 Bradleys with some support (veterans) fair fight? I think not...

    So mi opinion is, the game does not create balanced random scenarios.

    Thats problem vs. computer, but even worse vs. human, who is usually better than comp. If I want to play with somebody else, the Red side will be screwed, without using handicap for Blue.

    My question is how do you solve this issue.

  3. Hello!

    I just started playing this game so I am very inexperienced with it, but:

    when playing quick battles, it is much more easy to play as US

    I tried several battles as syrian army or unconventionals and the best result I managed was draw. When playing as US in such scenarios, I usually won and won without too much effort. I of course agree that US army is superior, but it should be properly reflected by number of troops available. I think syrians get too low number of units, if we take into consideration their inferior quality.

    Any ideas on this subject? I noticed there is a possibility to give handicap to "blue" side, maybe thats the way?
