MOS:96B2P Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) /////////////////////////////////////////////////// SPOILER ALERT ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// SPOILER ALERT //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// The King Copper Mines is a fictional scenario set in Africa and created by @MikeyD. Two fictional third world counties fight over copper mines using Warsaw Pact equipment in a meeting engagement. The scenario is 50 minutes long. The conditions are Overcast, Hot, Wet, Wind heavy from the south, Civilian Density: Light. Friendlies have one company of T-55 tanks, two platoons of BTR infantry, one F/O, two spies and two batteries of 122mm artillery. The OpFor has approximately 10 T-55 tanks and 200 infantry. I used MikeyD's African Mods while playing the scenario. The mission starts at 0645hrs. 2nd Platoon (BTR) will secure the mine complex which has buildings up to eight stories high. The F/O will take position in the upper floors and report on OpFor activity. 2nd Tank Platoon (T-55s) will support 2nd Platoon BTR. The remaining three platoons will, on order, move west from the assembly area to engage OpFor as the situation develops.

Erwin Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Looking forward to trying this next. Glad you posted the above as when I loaded it I wasn't sure which side I was to play. Played the "King Copper Riots" scenario as the defender but wasn't too keen on it. Are we supposed to play the rioting ("attacking") side in "Riots"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 And now the weather.....Outbreaks of high-explosive with scattered shrapnel are expected later this afternoon, with a storm of lead sweeping in from the south later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combatintman Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Funny to think that this was released not that long after CMSF was released - I remember playing it (badly) back in the day. From memory it is a great mod and scenario. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Just played it badly again for nostalgia's sake - got a draw but it was fun 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I've not played it yet.....One of the big problems I'm having with older scenarios is that having worked on adapting the CM:A Herat map and more significantly converting part of LLF's mighty CM:SF Ramadi to my own Mosul, I now have zero tolerance for borked buildings, they massively effect how a battle plays out and utterly ruin otherwise rather lovely looking maps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combatintman Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I'm guessing unbuttoning gave you the drop on the enemy - my armour engagements mostly resulted in the opposite result in this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Unbuttoned, stationary and keyhole. The OpFor tank drove into the engagement area . I have also had some go the opposite direction. Including the 2nd Platoon HQ tank . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intent was to get flank shots at the OpFor T-72s advancing on the Mine Complex. As 3rd Platoon arrived at the road embankment they discovered OpFor infantry and at least one tank on the west side of the embankment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Is your spotter blind? - I picked those up a lot further back - not that it did me a huge amount of good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) Don't get me started about Red artillery.....Just had an allegedly competent Soviet spotter in CM:A call fire for effect on a mountaintop rather than the road in the valley he was actually aiming for! Mind you.....When it lands on target it does the licks! Edited June 3, 2017 by Sgt.Squarehead 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish CMSF had hit decals. I lost count of the amount of hits the T-72s took. Two of them survived the battle (immobilized with major system damage).

MOS:96B2P Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 ///////////////////////////////////////////////// SPOILER ALERT //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// SPOILER ALERT ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Tactical Victory. I wasn't sure about any type of victory with those T-72s in the A/O. End of scenario map. Nice change of pace scenario. This African mod has a lot of potential. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Awh, I'm all nostalgic now! I haven't played this scenario, myself, since CMSF stopped working for me (for unknown reasons) after a computer upgrade. The coming CMSF2 game engine upgrade should bring everything back to life again for me (knock wood) with game engine V4 goodness and art updates making the fun even funner. I DO recall loving-loving-loving T55 slug-fests. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
