Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Some slightly gloomy but much more realistic images from testing of 'Winter of Discontent', courtesy of @37mm's Winter Mod: @37mm's Winter Mod thread can be found here: It appears to be between iterations at the moment, but it's definitely worth getting a copy when & if it is updated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IICptMillerII Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Big fan of that first screenshot of the fighters moving along the mountain trail at night, very cool! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Cheers.....It's actually the AI pathfinding doing that, I just grabbed each group by double clicking and gave them very coarse movement commands. That's why I liked that image so much, the engine took something ugly that I did and made something rather elegant out of it.....That's the opposite of what usually happens! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) Not me mate.....The sun has started to come up while the fight continues (and there's explosions). PS - It may not end well for my Mujahideen if they are still running around in broad daylight. PPS - I think this may well be the penultimate testing variant of this scenario, I've already tweaked both sides for better balance since this one was finished. I plan on writing two more AI plans, but the plans are very simple, this scenario can be extremely brutal already, especially if the player does not come up with a sensible plan of action before clicking 'Go'.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) This always makes me smile: Kind of bright out there now though! Sadly my test game fatally crashed shortly after this.....Which has me kind of worried. It really shouldn't have. It's not that big a battle.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Soviet & DRA Recon units advance after a minor skirmish: Screenshot from the excellent 'Competent Incompetence' campaign.....Played it for a bit of light relief before returning to the editor, highly recommended.

Erwin Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 +1 'Competent Incompetence' campaign is very good. Note that in order to play all of the very well designed battles one needs to lose until one gets to the "backs to the wall" mission (which ends the campaign if you lose) and then start winning again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Despite an ongoing struggle with 'Out Of memory Errors' (which seem much more prevalent on my Win10 machine than they were on its Win7 predecessor), testing of 'Winter of Discontent' continues.....Hizb-e-Islami forces have reached the town mosque, the fighting for the building has been rather heavy: The left wing of the building is still in enemy hands.....I think there's only a dude with an LMG in there, but it cost me two more valiant Mujahideen to find that out!

Sgt.Squarehead Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Did I mention that the fighting in the mosque was kind of heavy? What's behind the fun door? Sarandoy.....With PPSh SMGs! PS - The mosque is a preserve objective and I've already blown a couple of holes in it to avoid having to use the front door.....These two would long ago have gone to meet their maker (accompanied by a 100mm HE round) under other circumstances!

Sgt.Squarehead Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) PPSh this: After a truly brutal firefight in the police station, the surviving Sarandoy (and their nasty SMGs) all went and hid in a corner.....I just couldn't resist! Which was actually quite fortunate as it triggered a surrender and we won the day.....Our losses were, to say the least, greivous! Of a starting force of about 400 men, 100 were killed and another 140 seriously wounded. But you should see the other guy! This scenario (Winter of Discontent) will be up for wider testing shortly.....Ping me a PM if you are interested.

IICptMillerII Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Took a break from other work to play a little Combat Mission: Afghanistan. I come back to it every now and again when I'm in the right mood. Its hard to pass up the 80's era Soviet OOB. Some VDV assault a hilltop defended by dug in Mujahideen, and a very close range firefight/grenade duel erupts: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me that in CM:SF2 and I'll give you a MOUT battle to remember....."They're coming out of the goddam walls!"

You need to engage before they spot any other ground units. I adopted my game play accordingly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
