Snoob Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 I was thinking that CM would be the perfect environment for a campaing, say at company level. Taking a company through several battles would mean that limiting your own casualties would be an even higher priority. Plus, it would be even easier to become attached to your units, striving to ensure their survival while achieving the battle objectives and perhaps picking a "pet" unit along the way. For example, I managed to do some serious damage using a 75mm infantry gun in one senario (Crossing the Dvina, excellent map and unit balance in my opinion) and I was trilled to see that the crew survived in the end! Perhaps in a campaign, spanning 2-3 years, it would be possible to see one's units gain (or lose) some experince, depending on how the players handles them during battles, how many kills they score and how many loses they suffer. So, I wanted to ask if there are any plans for such a campaign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redmow Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Take a look at Biltong's Campaign Rules. I use them and am having a lot of fun. Should be here in the forums somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoob Posted March 29, 2003 Author Share Posted March 29, 2003 Amazing...it seems to be exactly what I was looking for. I'm not sure what to do exactly though- which files should I download and how does the whole campaign work? I read something about "rolling for a task force" etc. Help anyone...please? :confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkerT Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Cataphract, I suggest you go here and download the players guide. Any questions after reading the document should be posted in the thread I linked you to above. Read then ask 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0tten Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 The idea behind Biltong is quite good, but it is too complicated to fight with it (my personal point of view). I would prefer a mixture of his rules and some java program where everything is rolled and chosen and you only have to print the list I think much better would this tool be if it could generate CMBB maps with the right setting in the propriate format of cmbb. But I dont know how far it is possible and which knowledge you will need for this about the CMBB code. Eventually Battlefront could do something about this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Deuce Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 Don't know if this is what type game you had in mind but I am currently working on a mini cmmc style multiplayer game. It is set in the same area but using my own rules, OOB's etc AND it will only have about 20-24 players total. It is still in much of the planning stages but I have the base website pretty much completed. Go here CM:BB COMBAT CAMPAIGN to check it out and let me know what you think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoob Posted March 30, 2003 Author Share Posted March 30, 2003 I'm too new around here to have quoted anyone before, so please excuse me if I'm not doing this properly. So here goes. rOtten wrote that The idea behind Biltong is quite good, but it is too complicated to fight with it (my personal point of view).

Now, History Buff replied: That now actually exists . Would someone know how to avoid filling all the parameters in BCR yourself and instead letting the computer do all the claculations? Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you guy have a website or are you doing it all in-house? Are you using COCAT or Mapping Mission? I find they are invaluable in running something like this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0tten Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Biltaid you did the job ! This program is EXACTLY what I needed ! After getting java 1.4 to work on my XP machine I could start a CMBB campaign 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
