2018 SPMBT Upgrade Patch

It's not just the big guys that buy helicopters. A few years ago, during a US Marines vs North Korea campaign, late in the game got hit with an NK Air Assault company in helicopters descending on the one bridge in the game...after almost all of my troops had crossed it and were chasing the remnants of the NK forces. The air assault landed on my support units, including my A0 unit, which were in the process of crossing the bridge. When the dust settled, lost all my artillery, ammo resupply trucks, air defense vehicles (not that they hit anything ;^), and my A0 unit. When I got done laughing (and cursing Andy and Don ;^), I restarted the game from an earlier round and got to try again. Still the best surprise I've ever had in a computer game. I would say don't change a thing, because AI helicopters do make for a more interesting game.

Why would you reload ?

The A0 unit had died, so the campaign would have been over. I didn't want the campaign to end, as I was only a few battles into it, so I reloaded the game so I wouldn't have to restart the campaign. If it had been a scenario, I would have played it to the end, as I'm curious how the game would play with the A0 unit dead, this was the only time I ever lost one (I usually do a good job of keeping them hidden and out of the way ;^).
