BarendJanNL Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Thanks for your quick response. Is that particular mission nearly implayable without the map? Eg, would you recommend quitting the first scenario and wait for the update? Also, what does the update comprise of? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing I noticed was in mission 8 (Unexpected Resistance) at least 2 bmps seemed to have been given the wrong face direction - when I encountered them in their positions they were facing away from my side of the map. I double checked this and can't see this from the units that start the battle on map. I think you may have got lucky and ambushed some reinforcing Syrian Units before they got to their final positions. 13 hours ago, BarendJanNL said: Thanks for your quick response. Is that particular mission nearly implayable without the map? Eg, would you recommend quitting the first scenario and wait for the update? Also, what does the update comprise of? I wouldn't say unplayable but there's less information presented than promised in the briefing. I think there was a mix up between the briefing graphics and the text in the briefing. I've tweaked the words to give the player intel in the briefing without laying out exactly where each minefield is located. See my earlier post on the matter. As for changes: - Briefing tweaks such as this one and issues raised earlier. - Fix to Mission 5 Heartland. The VP allocation was out and made that mission far too difficult and unaligned to the briefing. I caught Smart Wargames stream the other night and my heart sank when we got to the AAR screen. The scenario played our largely as intended so no apologies for the RPG-29's - it is regional command and control center after all - but it shouldn't kick you out of the campaign at this point unless you are thoroughly trounced and can't capture the main objective. In which case the Dutch battlegroup stays behind in Al-Raqqah. The problem was that the final VP assigned still had some values leftover from the original release which made it incredibly hard to achieve with a depleted force. Got past me and the other other testers at the time. Pretty sure it's in the Scenario Design part of the briefing but when we revamped this campaign we actually made it easier. The original kicked you out of the campaign following two defeats in a row no matter where you were in the campaign. Not to mention there wasn't any replenishment of headcount or vehicle repair throughout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can send you a save file if you want, I think it was one of the rear ones (with the trenchline at the top right corner) and possibly one of the ones near a building with a BTR near the center of the map. I can send you a savefile if you want? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take another look tonight to triple check. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarendJanNL Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Thanks for your quick and detailed response Ithikial! I'll set the canpaign on hold and wait for the patch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gkenny Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Minor spoilers again, but for mission 10 - Are the building objectives preserve objectives or just simply occupy? It says to control the building objectives, but I'm not sure if I'll be penalized for damaging them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gkenny Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Also, in the briefing for mission 10 (Kameshli Airfield) it states the entire Dutch battlegroup is present at the start for the final mission, but I don't see the engineer platoon anywhere on map. Would be incredibly useful to have from the start. Edited October 13, 2020 by Gkenny 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euri Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Just started the Campaign after a long time being away from the game: Recce units, when dismounted from Fenneks, do not carry radios. What kind of Recce is this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recce squad A-team has radio but B-team does not have a radio, you can make them a 4 man team in the squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Is December 11, 2019 the latest version of "Back On Tracks"? (It would be helpful if there were dates on the downloadable scenarios and campaigns.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But "update date" isn't the same as the date when they were made. Getting scenarios and mods from CMMODS can be confusing as so many look "new" but were made years ago for the Repository. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed about CMMODS but with Elvis's uploads you can be certain that you do have the latest version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
