That looks suspiciously like my Al Amarah map … only just spotted the conversion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now to get started on decorating it upload pic How are you tracking with this? The reason I ask is because I'm working on a map which I've had to crop from 4km x 2.7km to 4km x 1.5km (and it may get smaller) because the number of trees is causing massive load times and CTD when going into 3D view. If you want this to work I'd lose the southern half of the map completely. Just thought I'd point it out to save you a bunch of work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, another one of yours. In my defence, have you actually ever made a scenario which didn't prominently feature rivers or canals? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously mate … I'm not a one-trick pony you know The three or four that spring to mind are both of my scenarios for CMFB: To Verdenne and Victory. Probing Around Poteau. My CMBN scenario: Assault on Port Cros. CMSF: Op BARRAS (yes it has a river but it doesn't really have a bearing on the scenario). Op NEPTUNE SPEAR (yes there is a river/canal) but only one. If I can pull Kham Duc off for H&E, that will lack anything wetter than a stream. Otherwise - I can't help the fact that people tend to live near sources of water and armies have to fight over them … 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37mm Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) Either way, your tendency to locate your scenarios near & around water has proven most useful for us*. My December work schedule is looking jam-packed so I'm not so confident of this "before Christmas" deadline... that does mean more time for Kham Duc, I suppose. *I was just playing around with some boats this morning.

That's the general idea, both of the urban campaign & the [ikke] tag in general. I spent last night mostly fixing missing vehicle textures & silhouettes however I did find time to revamp that map slightly (a conversion of 'Rock around the Block')...

37mm Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) With help from @Aquila-CM & his showcase scenarios, I think I've filled up all the gaps that he identified in his preview video. The modpack is fairly flexible these days. Hopefully 0.95 will be ready fairly soon, the 'Open Beta' is slated to be version 0.96.

The fighting could be as compartmentalised as in Normandy, with the kind of broken, complex terrain of Italy. Great work @37mm and everyone else involved. I wish this effort convinces BFC to boldly go to Indochina. Just leave the US Allies out for the sake of the poor soul having to work out the TOES. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not do all of them - the 1 Australian Task Force TO&E would be a cinch to write. The only real changes to the Infantry Battalion were the introduction of the Kiwi Company to form ANZAC Infantry Battalions and the withdrawal of the Owen SMG and introduction of the M-16. The dates for the introduction of the Cavalry Squadron and the Armoured Squadron plus their composition are well documented too. Speaking from experience, having done the Brit TO&E for CMSF, I could write it to BFC standard's in about a month I reckon. You would have to do the ARVN I think and that would be a headache and the US wouldn't be a cakewalk either even though both are well-documented. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BletchleyGeek Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) My imagination doesn't trump your experience if you think it is doable the happier I am tbh. My reckoning was that PLF, NVA on the one hand, and US, ARVN on the other, were already a quite serious project (was ever the official US Army TO&E followed in Vietnam? I do recall reading somewhere - Hastings? - that Abrams kind of slammed the fist on the table and forced everyone to turn up in Vietnam with his take on TO&E). ANZAC and ROK sounded to me a bit of an "above the call of duty" pain with their own particular equipment and organisation.

I keep umming & ahhing at whether or not to make the vehicle dust default for the Bong-Hai Civil War era (it's already default for the Modern/Aftermath era). Originally, I envisioned most scenario makers would opt for damp (or even wet) conditions but that doesn't seem to be the case. I'll probably get rid of the [dust] tag for 0.95 & just create a new tag ([darkdust]?) for the black combat dust. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ground conditions are dry for sure - ideally they wouldn't be but it was a design compromise I needed to make to ensure that the M-113s get to where they need to be without over half of the squadron bogging. I haven't added a [dust] tag to the scenario though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
