jim crowley Posted May 18, 2000 Share Posted May 18, 2000 While poking through the BMP folder (looking for some nice piccies for wallpaper) I came across the orders section (1600's) and found orders for Scout and Dig-in. I'm guessing that they relate in some way to the editor, as they are obviously not avaible in the orders menu on the gold demo. "Dig-in" is perhaps to allow tanks to be set-up as being literally dug-in, by the scenario designer, but what function will "Scout" have.Just curious.

Cheers Jim <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I think there are a lot of sounds that are simply there to add to immersion - the Germans have "Nach den Seiten sichern" - "Secure the flanks" which they say all the time when dug in, but it is not an actual order. I guess that your example is another one of those. ------------------ Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwin Posted May 18, 2000 Share Posted May 18, 2000 This was answered in another thread. "dig in" is an option the scenario designer can allow which lets the player begin with his tanks buried up to their turrets as a sort of bunker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim crowley Posted May 18, 2000 Author Share Posted May 18, 2000 Germanboy, The symbols I was referring to are actual "orders", not sounds (check-out BMP's 1600 onwards). Darwin, You're right, but what about "Scout"? Cheers Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwin Posted May 18, 2000 Share Posted May 18, 2000 I believe that during operations between battles you can have scouting done giving you limited (and possibly wrong?) information related to you opponents set up or OOB. Perhaps someone more knowledgable could inform us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
