  1. The key to calling in off map fire support promptly is to make sure you have good LOS, not only on the target but also the surrounding area. I suspect what is happening is that your HQ has LOS to the target but not to where the spotting rounds are falling, so they can't communicate that information back to the mortar guys, to correct their firing. Try moving the HQ to a better position where it has more complete LOS.

     I hope you two play it again and try out the German Counterattack version as well.   

    We won't be playing that one again but we may try out the German counter-attack at some point but has that problem with the missing Canadian platoon HQs been sorted out in the counter-attack scenario?

     What shall be played, the "Easier v2" version or the "normal" one?

    If you intend to play as the Allies then you might get away with playing the harder version if you are playing against the AI but trust me, you don't want to be playing the harder version if it's H2H, unless you are very, very good!

  4. I think we might have discovered why I don't have the mortars. I'm playing v3 of the campaign (which I downloaded ages ago). I didn't realise there were later versions till I saw Erwin's post. I think the best thing would be if you could send me that shortcut to get me onto v6-2a, George. I only lost 8 men in the first mission, so re-starting 2a intact won't make that much difference but it will save me having to play the first mission again. I'll pm you with my email address. Thanks very much for your help! 

    Cheers

  5. Thanks for looking into it George. TBH I'm more concerned about the fact that I don't have the on-map mortars, than the off-map Wespes. What's the likely explanation for that IYO? I'm running the latest version of the game and the only explanation I can think of is that they have been deleted in some way by the addition of a patch or the 4.0 upgrade. I remember something like this happening with a missing ATG in the KG Engel campaign after the addition of an upgrade and BF had to fix it and re-release the campaign. I'll try and battle through this mission. Do you remember if the on-map mortars show up in any of the later missions? If so, hopefully they will make an appearance then.

    Cheers.

  6. Hello George,

    Thanks for making this excellent campaign! I'm 20 minutes into mission 2. It states in the briefing that I should have 2 x 81mm on map mortars and 6 x off map Wespe. I don't have either of these and I have got to the stage now where they would be immensely handy. It doesn't say they are meant to come as reinforcements. Is it possible that they may have been deleted with the 4.0 upgrades? It wouldn't be the first time something like this has happened after an upgrade....

    If someone who has been dead for 400 years ......

     

    .....Talking of aggravation. Hey Warts, have you been to Ripley Castle in Yorkshire, again recently? You can still see bullet holes in the walls from the last time your rough bloody lot were up here!
