Kinophile Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Hey all, I've taken the Gauntlets Crossed map and heavily modified it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/saf75504wsh43vj/Fighting%20Blind%20v2.btt?dl=0 It's now a UKR v RUS mech company level engagement in dense fog.Ukrainians have a numerical advantage early on but the Pesky Ruskies get significant Artillery support later. The background story is off two MBG's coming into contact during a fairly open maneuver phase of the (future) war. The Blue briefing is kinda done, the Red briefing is just a copy of the blue. A proper breakdown etc will be done at a later date. For now, its basically a reinforced UKR mech company versus a RUS mech company with heavy fire support later. The map allows some maneuver and the Russian artillery later on will severely punish UKR clumping. For now, it is strictly Human v Human - @IanL I'm still building the Ai plans, its an insanely laborious exercise but your pointers and maps are enormous help! This will be part of a campaign I'm very slowly building. For now, please test and enjoy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zveroboy1 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 You should post a screenshot of the map. I know that without launching the game I couldn't tell you which one Gauntlets Crossed is. That could help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinophile Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) tA DAAA. Its a little faded out as the map has Dense Fog. This reduces spotting distances to about 150m max for Mech inf. Modern tanks (oplots etc) are much better but are not present in this scenario. Just a couple of T64 bulats.

Erwin Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Am not into H2H but those look like lovely maps. Hope you get AI eventually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinophile Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) To clarify, its the same map, rotated views. Version 3, https://www.dropbox.com/s/5no8oirjtszblqe/Fighting%20Blind%20v3.btt?dl=0 Various OOB tidy-ups (removed the UKR air, no point) and map tweaking. Tidied up the objectives and adjusted their points values. Edited June 10, 2016 by kinophile 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinophile Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 Revised V3, Updated UKR briefing. Some AI plans for RUS., Finalised OOB and reinforcements. https://www.dropbox.com/s/z2f87ocepip4jny/Fighting%20Blind%20v3.btt?dl=0 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grunt_GI Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 So, is it now playable as UKR vs RUS AI? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinophile Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) God, no. AI... man, AI is a whole project in itself. I could slap on some basic plans but personally that's not my style. Either you're going up a cunning evil bastard or no one. I've been playtesting from RUS side and noticed some inherent weaknesses that make it quite difficult to win. Not impossible, but you need to rely more on the UKR making mistakes. I don't want to just add more troops (read, more management) so I'm testing adding more artillery/TRPs, removing the UKR Tanks, different OBJs etc. Basically another round of testing before I stick my face back under the blunt bladed lawnmower that is AI planning ...

Kinophile Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) ... Which I am now doing. I'm building the AI pretty slowly, trying to find the basic Blue attack approaches and then how to ambush them with Reds, then GTFO. Interesting, tricky and...... S....L......O...w...ww...wwww Edited February 18, 2018 by kinophile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) Bravo! Glad you posted as I hadn't discovered this until now.....Is there a current Dropbox link? Edited February 19, 2018 by Sgt.Squarehead 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinophile Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 https://www.dropbox.com/s/mhb2znc9gtywvy0/Fighting Blind.btt?dl=0 WIP, lots of small inconsistencies, and the terrain around the town is onl5 50% complete (probably add more space as well). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proceed with caution. As I recall adding onto the map will move troops already placed on the map which may then screw up AI plans. Just FYI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
