    LiveNoMore got a reaction from Ithikial_AU in Rimini Airfield   
    @Ithikial_AU:   I've been working on this quite a while. If Rome to Victory does come out soon I can easily swap the units. Just got bored waiting.
    @Sandokan:  I was working off an old hand drawn map I found online about the battle. It had the name as Miramar. Probably a misspelling from the Brit that made the map. Or the name changed slightly in the last 50 years.
     
    Let me know if these screenshots are better.

    Hi All,
     
    I have been working on a three-part H2H scenario dealing with the battle for Rimini Airfield.  This was a part of British 8th Army’s Operation Olive assault up the Adriatic coast. It took place in mid-September 1944. The 1st Canadian Division, which included the Greek 3rd Mountain Brigade (their first and last major engagement), New Zealand 19th Armor and 22nd Motor Battalion. In front of them were a combination of the German 1st Fallschirmjager Regiment, 162nd Turkestani Battalion and various support units.
    By the 15th of September the 1st Canadian had moved up the coast were just south of the airfield. They needed to take the airfield before moving onto the town itself.
    Lieutenant-General Sir Oliver Leese, commander of the 8th Army had this to say about the battle; "The battle of Rimini was one of the hardest battles of Eighth Army. The fighting was comparable to El Alamein, Mareth and the Gustav Line (Monte-Cassino)."
    The morning of this battle the Canadian Saskatoon Light Infantry had probed north up the coast road and been stopped by fierce resistance. And this is where the battle begins. 
    I broke the battle into three parts:
    1. Santa Maria, which was the assault on the small village and church complex called Casalecchio, west of the airfield. 
    2. Miramar, the assault up the coast road 
    3. Rimini Airfield, the final attack on the airfield. 
    Using the same map, I isolated the fighting areas for Santa Maria and Miramar. Then used the entire map for the Airfield.

    I haven't figured out the total scoring as you would see in a campaign.  What I did was set up the first 2 scenarios and use the average from the play test games to create the initial set up locations for the last one. Santa Maria is a fresh battle. The map is clean. Miramar has the Greek 3rd trying to get to the Canadian Saskatoon unit and moving forward from there. The map has burning wrecks and damage. Some of the units on both sides are also less than full strength because of battle losses. Rimini Airfield then starts with the map littered with wrecks and such from the first 2 battles. A lot of the units are at less than full strength. 
    In my game with Rocketman his results closely mirrored the historical results that I had read about.
    Right now I am trying to create a scale for the cumulative score from all three games. That's going to be the best I can do until a system is in place for H2H campaigns.

    Maybe I did it wrong, But my experience has been the way the General described it. No movement commands for the vehicle, dismount command for passengers, then pause and movement commands for the vehicle

    Para, did you recently upgrade to Win10? There are some permission issues associated with it. Either way, right click on the icon try the "run as administrator" option.
