REVISED!!!!!"Battle of LZ X-ray" Campaign

[Pyros]

NEW for installation after WinSPMBTv3

I have issued a new installer for this campaign that contains further corrections to the campaign files issued with the WinSPMBTv3 upgrade . This can now be downloaded by <<<CLICKING HERE>>> (http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/threads/showthreaded.php?Number=493491). I have removed the attachment from this post to avoid confusion.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Thanks for sharing.
I looked all day yesterday for a link update. Now I am working, boo hoo, I will have to wait.

[Pyros]

Unfortunately, the size of the file was too big to be attached...

cheers,
Pyros

Is this a finished product, ready for play, Pyros?

I finally got around to installing this today.

The instructions mention the OOB from the 2.0 patch being installed. I have 2.51 at this time.

Any problem with this OOB later?

[Pyros]

Hi,

No, since you won't be using any real core force (only AUX units).

cheers,
Pyros

Sorry, I mean will installing the campaign have any effect on the basic game now that we are up to patch 2.51 and this campaign was designed for 2.0?

IOW will I have to uninstall the campaign or swap OOBs to play other scens?

[Pyros]

Hi,

Actually the installer will just add the official 2.5 US obat and the 2.51 patch has only addressed the winspmbt.exe so by installing the campaign you won't experience any problem.

But in order to be 100% sure about that, you should make a copy of the US OOB obat012.obf located in the oobs folder and then (after LZX-ray installation) you may check if the two US OOB are exactly the same obat.

cheers,
Pyros

Thanks for the reply but too late now to make a copy and compare.

I'm fairly sure it will be OK or someone would have brought this up before.

Hey, this campaign rocks ! It's not usual to feel so "in command" than in this one !
The focus really is on winning the battle and fulfilling objectives, that's great, kudos to the designer http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Thanks PDF,

But keep in mind that this is not really a "balanced" campaign.

This is more something like an accurate historical simulation, in which we have tried to recreate the real battle conditions by respecting the quality & quantity of the involved troops, their positioning on the battlefield, the timing of events and the actual historical tactics during the battle of LZ X-ray.

Anyway, sometime in the future we will issue an update of this battle (some mnor modifications and perhaps some use of waypoints).

cheers,
Pyros

Bump for those people with the 3.0 problem.

Pyros, any word on the update?

EDIT See the thread in the Main Forum RE: OOB set that comes with this installer.

See the first message for this thread for a revised installer of the campaign set up to work with WinSPMBTv3
