Barton Hick Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 Hey, I have a quick question and was wondering if any of you guys had a good solution. I want to recreate a situation in which a couple light German tanks and infantry are escorting some cargo trucks. For the battle, I want to stage a Polish ambush in a wooded area. Now, I can design it no problem, but I do I set the German mentality to escort the trucks (seeing how I will be the Polish). Any good suggestions?

Kingfish Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 Reverse the map edges, put the German column on a tree lined road, and then string VLs along the road like bread crumbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russellmz Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 im not sure if the following will work since i never tried an escort mission, but you may want to try them out. make the map edges reversed so the german side is the direction the germans are heading to(this makes germans more likely to head/attack there). also make that edge the exit zone for the germans. make the trucks in the convoy worth exit points, but not many or any of the escorts. put some germans in trucks so they will definietly stay with the trucks. im not sure how effective the first two will be. if it works let us know! oh yeah, good call kingfish, i forgot the flag thing...

WWB Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 Well, unarmed vehicles and the AI really do not work too well. WWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopenfaust2 Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 I have a scenario called "column" which depicts a german company moving along a french road. I made an exit point for the germans and placed one sniper (lost soldier) in the wood for the American AI. Then I gave the allies lots of airpower. Its more of a watch and learn (high entertainment value) scenario than a tactical one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
