vs AI Tournament (Actually a Campaign)

[Koh]

This sounds interesting. When did you plan on starting this thing?

And as for counting the score, you could just ask every player to save at the end of the last turn, load the saved game and finish the turn. Or, since the game can theoretically end at any given turn, to save at the end of each turn just to be sure they'll have the end game turn saved.

In the 1st battle (Meeting Engagement) you are to probe the enemy front. For this mission you get 2x T-62D's and 12x tubes of 122mm arty. These are Regimental level assets allocated to you by the MRR Commander.

Actually - one part of the "core" force is missing.

The regimental tank battalion (4 tank platoon organisation almost always) was doctrinally split to attach a company to each mech battalion as an almost invariable rule. The tank company would then be split to attach a platoon to each mech company as an almost invariable rule as well.

The attached scenario 299 is not a scenario - it was something I was working on as a tactical guide, but have not had the time to progress. It is based on Isby, and is designed to be viewed in the editor. Scenario text is a first attempt at the explanation of the non-scenario.

I am thinking within the next week (the official campaign). At this point I am creating a test (1 battle) campaign for everyone to go through the process for a complete battle. Receiving the file, playing and then sending me back the file. This way, players can get the process down and I can receive the last save file and see what info for sure I have to work with. Sorta work out the bugs, pre-offical campaign.

I think if players alternate saving their game to 2 slots they will have the last one before any early ending that they can then send. That would work best I think.

1) If players keep track of flags controled after say turn 15 so long as all same points easy to add subtract.
2) Set R&R high to a round figure like 5000pts.
Press fix all diffrence between the 2 is the score lowest wins.
Example after repair (A) has 4300 points left so score was 700
(B) 4100 points left so score 900
Flags either ignore or deduct diffrence from score.
Example 21 flags at 100points each
Player controls 10, AI 7, 4 neutral
Diffrence between player & AI is 300 points (10-7) x100
So take 300 off players total score.

This will be easier I think than trying to work out loses by counting missing men.
If flags total makes to much of a diffrence divide it by something say 4 so it fits, your call as ref.

I will be counting the Victory Flags since they are tied to the assigned mission objectives. If I get the last turn save file (before the end game screen) I can go through the players unit list screen in the beginning of the next turn and track the damage points (units KIA, etc) that way. I can't do this for the enemy forces though.

I have revised the player's Core Force to the following (the BTR's are now the PB model and not the PB(+) model so they are not armed with the 30mm AGL but this is offset by the direct attachment of a Tank Company from the Regimental Tank Battalion);

BTR RIFLE COMPANY
10x Mech Squad
1x Strela-2M SAM
3x RPG-7V Team

1x Strela-2M SAM
3x RPG-7V Team
10x BTR-60PB

BTR RIFLE COMPANY
10x Mech Squad
1x Strela-2M SAM
3x RPG-7V Team
10x BTR-60PB

TANK COMPANY (4)
13x T-62D

ANTI-TANK PLATOON

Andy couple of questions
1) Is the book worth a gander
2) When I do this force normally add a scout section normaly 5 as buy from armour screen & delete other scout platoon & one SAM platoon assume they would have scouts.
Its actually clearer seeing it laid out in game than in a book nice one.

No worries. We will probably start just after the weekend. If things change between then now and then just let me know, we can still work you in any time up untill the 1st battle is completed by all players.

1) Yes - I had it and sold it in the 90s with all my tabletop wargaming stuff, so re-bought a second hand copy from an online book dealers. There is a revised edition out now (saw at Amazon for lots of money).

2) the scouts would be ahead of the demo, under regimental control. Maybe 5 - 10 KM ahead. MANPADS SAM platoon - is in the support coy columns.
