DasNoogie Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 is it possible to make a scenario where it's red vs. red, but one side gets some blue units (special forces advisors)? i thought i read something about that, but i was messing around with the editor and couldn't figure it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mishga Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 yup, you change the parameter in the data page. change BLUE v RED once you have purchased some units to RED V RED and you can have all sorts of stuff. I made a crazy scenario with Syrian SF guys backed up by a few Brads and on the other side some US Engineers jumping out of BMP2's. All cos I was curious lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoColdInWinter Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Imagine the possibilities!!! I used the same idea with my first scenario and imbedded a US JTAC team with the Iraqi army (Syrian set) so they could call in support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mud Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Hmm. Is spotting doctrine -- well, who's allowed to call in support fire -- dictated by unit type, or by the side nominally in control of the joint force? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mishga Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Give RED some F-15's and a JTAC...much fun to be had. Or the Syrian FO a few Paladin SPG's....mmmmmm tasty explosions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I found this quote from Steve in Winecape's thread (from Sept. 2005). "No mixing of Red and Blue forces. Interesting, yes, but not something we planned on allowing so the game is not currently coded to handle such a possiblity. Not saying it couldn't at some later point in time, but more work would be needed to make that happen." Not everything is set in stone...unless it was a Trojan Horse they didn't expect. Somebody already posted a scenario using this exploit. I think it's one of the Iraq based battles. It was a cool find. Opens up a lot of potential scenarios for Afghanistan too.

Mishga Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 It would be silly to remove this fun aspect now. I hope it's left as is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdstrike Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 One thing to add though: It seems the game reads out the first unit in the editor's unit list to determine who is playing whom, no matter what you pick as blue/red. This means if the first unit in the list is for example a Syrian unit, the side is "Syrian" in the battle result screen even if you picked blue as the side and there are U.S. units picked. So if you want a U.S. force with Syrian assets mentioned as U.S. in the battle result screen, you should pick a U.S. unit as the first in the list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
