Timeline of the War?

[Cpl Steiner]

I have to confess that I never finished the TF Thunder campaign. I restarted it so many times due to all the patches that I got fed up playing it.

In view of this, does anyone who has completed the campaign have a basic time-line for the war? I'm working on a scenario in which a US armoured column fights its way down a stretch of highway on the outskirts of Damascus in the closing days of the war. Any idea when that would be, date wise?

Hmm. I loaded up the last mission, but I can't see a date for it.

BTW, you know that saved games are still compatible with newer versions as long as the save was made at the start of a mission? That was the only way I ever finished the campaign.

I believe the end is sometime in July. The dates availible in the editor go from 1 May to 31 July.

I did consider this but I also seem to recall someone saying the war only lasted about 3 weeks.

It would have been nice if BFC had published their official time-line for the setting. That way we could fit all our scenarios into it without them clashing too much.

I finished the campaign in 1.01 and again in 1.02. I got more than half way through it about 6 more times. Now I'm sick of having to play the same missions over and over again. A saved game would be a welcome download at cmmods.

the Fighting Seabee,

See what happens when you try to load a save from an earlier version, as long as the save was made at the beginning of the mission (in the setup phase). I just loaded up a 1.05 save in 1.08 and it worked just fine, so you should be able to carry on where you left off last.
