Scenario Meteorology

[MPK]

Could one of you Mighty Cerebromorphs

possibly tell me what combination

(in CMBB) of Month and Weather

Conditions (i.e Good/Mixed/Bad)

in an Operation's Parameters is

most likely to produce fog?

Thanks,

Matt

Lasi, Romania, taken today, from weatherunderground dot com

[junk2drive]

However if your q is how to get random weather to be not so random in CM, I haven't figured that out.

That surely is beautiful fog,

junk2drive, and Lasi certainly

still has the magical old-world

charm that made it the

skinless sausage capital of

the Balkans during the 1920's.

However, my question was actually:

In setting MONTH and WEATHER

parameters for a CMBB Operation,

which combination gives the

highest probability of FOG?

Does Region (North, Central etc)

make any difference?

Thanks

I don't think month or region have any effect in that. I have a feeling that fog is more likely at dawn than at midday, and of course it is more likely with bad weather pattern than good or mixed.

[MPK]

Thinking laterally,

isn't mist or fog a

feature of cold mornings?

So any coldish month

should do...

You have to realise we

don't have mist or fog

in Australia, or any other

kind of inclement weather;

just bright sunshine all

day and all night.

Sergei,

You beat me to the buzzer.

I will now depart and run

numerous meteorological

simulations until I crack it

Real world vs game

There are more than one type of fog and low clouds. An aviation school can sell you some books.

I played quite a few ops before I realised there was random weather.

In playtesting ops with random weather, it seems very hard to get duplicatable results.

IMO avoid random weather.

Thanks junk2drive, thanks Sergei.

Oh well, back to work on "Plan 1919.cme"

I simply must have fog!

The weather in operations is always random, so randomness is inevitable. There are three weather patterns, good, mixed and bad. It just affects the probabilities. Wind strength is also random in operations.

If you need the first battle to be fog, then mention it in the briefing as a house rule that the operation needs to be restarted until there is fog.

Yep, like in "Prokhorovka".

What I really want (ha!) is the first battle

to be THICK FOG(dawn) and the second (early morning)to be FOG- thus simulating the gradual

dispersion of mists, and improvement in LOS.

Therein lies the problem.
