Meeting engagements problem

[shaun]

Hi

I have noticed that since the version 4 upgrade, in the generated campaign, your missions are now all meeting engagements, where are the assalts, advances etc, I have tried a number of times, and this is all you get, was this planned for version 4, also when you select a helicoter in the core and then delete it you can now still select a sead or strike craft for your core.

Can you give specific details about the "select a helicoter in the core and then delete it" issue please ? I tried it in a test and nothing like that occured. There may be a specific series of events so we need date, nation etc etc to test this

The meeting engagment issue we are looking into

Go to the generated campaign, select the default armies, buy an attack class helicopter or any other heli, then delete it, you now have an airstrike available, you will see now that you can now buy an aircraft for your core

looks like this only happens when you pick a gunship or attack helicopter

buy an attack class helicopter or any other heli

And since you only get offered an attack or other helo formation (as well as air strikes) in the purchase screen if you have >0 air strikes available - the problem is what exactly?. You bought an air formation then deleted that, and so you get your strike point credited back to you.

OK. I see the problem now.

About the meeting engagements, is this a 100% thing or a hit and miss bug?
I am in the 3rd battle of a long generated campaign and I would like to know if the missions will continue to be meeting engagements no matter what the results.

There is code there to make the first 3 battles of a PBEM campaign always meeters for a balanced tournament of 3 battles. I had thought the code for a non-PBEM one was always only the one guaranteed meeter for the first battle, so it seems I will need to check that the PBEM code is not overriding the normal code.

If it's overriding the normal generated LC against the AI - then battles after No. 3 should be random (apart from special battles), as normal.

I am sorry, I thought this was a single player problem too.
Well, I am sure you guys will figure it out if there is a problem.

I've seen the same thing in a generated campaign, every battle since v4 upgrade is meeting engagement and these are not the first battles of the campaign.
