Purchase ATF?

[Wannabe]

THIS close to buying, but I can't sort out-
1. Are their 'neutrals' (civilians) in scenarios?
2. Does the scenario editor only allow changing forces, or new maps as well?
3. If no new maps, how hard is it to create them?
4. Or better yet, does the game ship with more than 4 maps? I thought I saw some references to Bihac and Saudi Arabia in some form of expansion pack.
5. Does the scenario editor allow you to choose single elements (ie, squad, tank) or units (entire platoons)?
6. If by organization, what nations are represented?

Thanks for your input. I see there is a SALE? JOY!

1. Are their 'neutrals' (civilians) in scenarios?



Scenarios in ATF do not. However, it does include allied forces which you do not control.


2. Does the scenario editor only allow changing forces, or new maps as well?
3. If no new maps, how hard is it to create them?



The ATF Power Toolkit, which installs with the latest patch for ATF, allows you to build maps.


4. Or better yet, does the game ship with more than 4 maps? I thought I saw some references to Bihac and Saudi Arabia in some form of expansion pack.



I believe the game has a total of seven maps. You can also download the free Scenario Pack 1, which adds two more maps to ATF.


5. Does the scenario editor allow you to choose single elements (ie, squad, tank) or units (entire platoons)?



Yes. You can do both.


6. If by organization, what nations are represented?



ATF only includes US and Soviet weapons. You can add any vehicles or organizations you want using the scenario editor. The other ATF engine games also add many more nationalities.
