astreetcarnamedkill Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 In the map editor how to I purchase units for a red on red battle? I get two option, purchase red and purchase blue, do I need to purchase everything I want in red, if so how would I split the forces and make them enemies? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runyan99 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 There is another parameter somewhere in the editor where you choose Red/Blue, Blue/Blue, or Red/Red. Keep looking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battlefront.com Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 An interesting "undocumented" feature is you can have Red and Blue forces on the same side. It started out as a bug the testers found and we decided "what the heck, let's leave it in". This allows you to give Blue Air support to Red (you have to have a Blue unit IIRC, but I'm not sure about that either!). Mind you, we haven't tested mixed Red/Blue sides so I really can't say if it works well or not. Seemed to the few times the testers played with it.

Kieme(ITA) Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 The only good bug is a deleted bug... Not always though, sometimes bugs are just good bugs. This kind will be useful to represent some kind of co-operation like seen with Afghanistan and Iraqi new armies and US troops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Krejcirik Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Do I understand it correctly, it is possible to have US and Syrian units on the same side ? How can I do that ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roter Stern Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Set mission to Red-vs-Red, buy which ever Red units you wish for each side, then switch the mission to Blue-vs-Blue and purchase the Blue units 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roter Stern Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Why haven't I thought of this before... ...it took a lot of 'redtape', but the Syrian order for a large shipment of the Javelin ATGM system has finally went through: ...let's hope it doesn't come back to haunt us like the Stingers in Afghaniraqistan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aacooper Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I don't know how this would help in a Syria scenario, but there's a ton of things you could do with it... imagine a fictional scenario where narcoterrorists overthrow the Mexican gov't and you've got Strykers and Mexican army troops battling the narcoterrorists. Or even stuff that might be too real-life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowMotion Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 For these Blue vs Blue or Red vs Red scenarios it would be nice if one could edit the name of both armies. Now when a game ends the final screen says something like "Syrian army got total victory". If there's same army on both sides, which side won?

thelmia Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Red on Red is a beautiful thing. Sooooooo many options. You can make almost any war of the last 25 years (maybe longer) since most people use Russian equipment. Between the Syrian and Uncon TOE you can simulate almost anything. I'm making a campaign about the Chadian- Libyan war after I finish the Iraqi Civil War. Most wars don't involve Stryker brigades (or any Westerners at all). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomni Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Blue vs. blue is interesting as well. Like a new US Civil War waged in the desert! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 The Louch, Looks like someone violated ITAR outright and falsified the End User Certificate. Steve, Very cool undocumented feature! Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
