I play test the scenario, hit cease fire and the two objectives occupied by regular Syrian troops score VPs normally but the third objective occupied by insurgents scores zero points. If I replace insurgents with regular Syrians the third location scores VPs normally. Is this a known issue? And can someone think of an existing SF2 scenario that has both regular Syrians and insurgents on the same side? It is probable that I am not doing something right but I double checked several times. good luck with that bro , scenario looks good 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zveroboy1 Posted August 27, 2021 Author Share Posted August 27, 2021 Heh thanks, I don't even know for sure whether it is going to work or not though! I managed to make a lot of progress after I figured what the issue was with terrain objectives. It is almost done but at the moment I think it is a bit too difficult. It takes place in Iraq and you play the bad guys, that's all I can say for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a fictional (Battlefront Storyline) or real Iraq.....I'm a massive fan of Uncon scenarios and campaigns, but I'm not too sure that even I want to play as Al Qaeda, Jabhat Al Nusrah or ISIS. TBH this is why I invented my OSIRIS (Organisation of Shia Islamic Resistance in Iraq & Syria) concept.....Jihadis you can come to love & respect!

Zveroboy1 Posted August 27, 2021 Author Share Posted August 27, 2021 Yes real Iraq. And I am aware that it is not the best timing ever with recent events. Thing is I have been wanting to make a scenario where you get to play uncons for a long time and couldn't really come up with something that was interesting enough until now. Besides I like it when a scenario is based on real events, not super fond of the fictional storyline thing personally. I see why one would be tempted to do that but from where I stand it is simply a way to sanitize it. And of course that's convenient but ultimately all it does is hide the unpleasant aspects. It is still all there underneath the surface, you just avoid looking at it directly. So the way I see it, there is no escaping the fact that if you want to play uncons during the war in Iraq with a semi realistic setting, it is automatically going to be the bad guys. It is a bit distasteful clearly but it is hard to avoid seeing as pretty much every single Iraqi faction involved did some pretty heinous ****. And anyway we are all grown-ups and wargamers so we should be able to dissociate ideology and tactics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Best thing is try it and see if it works rather than defeat yourself at the concept stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zveroboy1 Posted August 28, 2021 Author Share Posted August 28, 2021 No it is way beyond the concept stage, it is almost finished really. I am just bracing myself for the onslaught of comments complaining about how it is too hard. Which very well might be the case mind you. I am still trying to tweak it but it is probably going to remain rather challenging I think. And that's fine seeing as you play AQI. I don't want to make it easy on these guys. I say "I think", because I made that one scenario for CMBS that I could barely beat myself where some guy won hands down without taking a single casualty so.... Goes to show you how easy these things are to balance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes to show you how easy these things are to balance. Maybe more a question that the guy managed to figure out the best tactics for the Uncons. That is not always easy with a new concept. Probably best if you release it and let us tell you if it's too hard or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zveroboy1 Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 No I was talking about a different scenario that I made for CMBS, no uncons there. But yes I am going to release it soon. Only 1-2 more tests and it is going to be ready I think. There aren't that many units on the map so it plays fairly fast. It is easy to playtest. You can play the scenario in 1 hour and a half, 2 hours easily. Then I can start working on a second Iraq scenario I have been wanting to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Look forward to trying it, hope my comments didn't seem unreasonably critical, they weren't intended that way. As you know I really like Uncon scenarios, especially in an urban environment.....I'm also fond of megadeth experiments involving a couple of hundred IEDs, so I like to make it clear that I am keeping these strictly in the realms of dark-fiction, borderline parody. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zveroboy1 Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 No no, not at all, it is all good. I was just trying to clarify my position on the subject. Your point of view is totally understandable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
