Magnum50 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Never even opened the mission editor till tonight, and I've been playing the CM series since the very first one. 20+ years ago. lol Q1. Anyone know of a good tutorial, either written or maybe someone made a video example of it? (of course, now that I think of it, might be one in the digital manual.) Q2. I'm looking to do some simple test missions, I was trying to set up basic missions with mainly a platoon size element, or maybe company at the most. I was looking to recreate some of the classic Tank Platoon missions in Cold War. But looking at the unit options it's making me purchase large formations. I don't want those, I simply want a platoon of tanks and maybe some basic infantry, mortar, or AT support. Is there a simple way just to make these kinds of missions or does everything have to be set to proper TO&E? Thx in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratdeath Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 You should have A Scen Design AAR PDF Book.pdf in the Manuals folder. Simple test missions are fun to do and you buy formations that you can easily chop down to a platoon and/or any size in between. Can also add single teams/vehicles to the formations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You select the formation and delete what you don't need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vergeltungswaffe Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Also, depending on what you delete and what order you delete it in, some HQ units and things will not be able to be deleted. Put them in a reinforcement group that doesn't show up for 3 hours and they won't be in the scenario. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Also, I think you might enjoy to set up your favorite little default formation and name that scenario whatever DEFAULT UNIT. THEN in your new scenarios, you can import that same formation. It says it is for campaigns but it works for single scenarios as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
