A campaign worth to consider...

[scJazz]

Found the book and am rereading now. Hurray!

Sigh... Too bad about the F-19A "Ghostrider" and the ZSU-30/2... Re-read the "Dreamland" part with F-117 instead, you know, the one plane that loses control surfaces when doing a sharp roll...

About an Iceland campaign, which one? The escape part would be quite funny and truly original, though possibly tiresome if too long. Add some targetting missions here and there, maybe ("get to that hill, get a LOS on the power relay, call in airstrike")...

Making a Soviet campaign could be doable too, maybe quite short (how about "hunt the escapees" missions? ).

"hunt the escapees"

You could do that by giving the russian player a few hinds with airborne troops on board... then make the blue force a bunch of unarmed infantry units to model civilians... Have on 2 man squad to represent the "character" form the book and his Icelandic female friend.

Quite what I had in mind... But then what about the core BMD batallion?

In both campaigns (first for coherence, second for flexibility) the core forces would have to be kept really small.

I got the original scenario files for the Red Storm Campaign from Edin today and with his permission I'll be updating them and fixing the few minor bugs. The updated Red Storm campaign should be available by this time next week.

Wow!

That's what I call good news .

can u also fix the unit names ??

i hate it when units are called "1/5 platoon" or something instead of simple "M60 A1" or whatever. I refuse to play scens and camps where the orig names are changed to some kind of code ))

[scJazz]

The unit names are there to signify what batallion/company/platoon each of the squads belongs to. I suppose I could setup two different campaigns and let the user pick which one. Right now there is one bug that I can not seem to resolve. Waiting to here from Camo to see if they have any other ideas.

[Alpha]

okay.

I tend to do my scenarios the same way when naming units. I also use a standard NATO Operations Order Format for my campaign briefing texts (I have seen the WP Pact one as well and it is very similiar). While it might be confusing to some it helps (IMHO) create a more authentic environment.
