Thanks for your help! Some thoughts based on your comments... quote:
Turn the relief layers off, a player can turn them on for specific purpose then turn them off again Will do! quote:
The 'No Nav Zone' around Sweden/Finland is going to be a real resource hog. It looks good and probably took you hours to build, but the game measures against each side edge of the zone for each 'Side' in the game. Not sure how often but quite a bit. Not much to do about this now but is good to keep in mind for future scenarios. Well this is a Beta Test for the scenario Don't see why I couldn't change it. I wondered in the "BREXIT" Live scenario why the Kaliningrad exclusion area was so blocky. If it is a resource hog I can change. Yes was a lot of work! quote:
Turn the Biologic side to 'Blind' and 'Collective responsibility' OFF Will do! quote:
Turn all the range circles off for the non player sides Will do! quote:
All bases are full up units with no single unit airfields. This presumes that all are going to be susceptible to attack or you want to keep the player guessing. If not you should as a mater of routine make them 'Single Unit Airfields' which saves a lot of game resources. I had more airbases in and removed them to avoid using up resources. Even single unit airfields were deleted. The ones in Russia will never be hit so can't see re-adding them. I tried a TLAM attack on one last night and the S-400 system wiped the attack out. quote:
Its probably a good idea to make many of the missions 'Scrub if human side' to allow the player to decide what to do with his resources. Set to play both sides as computer or human or I would. quote:
STANAVFORLANT, was disbanded in 2003, and replaced by Standing NATO Maritime Group 1 (SNMG 1) which is in the Arabian gulf, and SNMG 2 in the Med. Easily feasible that SNMG 1 could move in times of tension so I would just change the name. Did I say I was an old fart! Will adjust this Likely to SNMG 2 as is ir more likely the Med group could make it in time. quote:
The ready times for the STANAVFORLANT Helo's are quite long and there is a UH-46 with a cargo load on the ASW patrol which seems odd. Wanted to stretch out ready times to keep all helios from taking off at once. Event with the 1/3 they were all taking off together, I assume because of different vessels? On the 46, I got lazy! I'll create and Unrep mission for it. quote:
Should be Prince of Wales in the Scenario brief I will expand on the CV's status, figure the PoW is still fitting out which is why its F35 Squadron is assigned to QE. quote:
48 FW at Lakenheath are full up 24 ship Sqns, I think the Panthers actually have 28 or 29 AC I figure some are engaged over the Baltic. quote:
48 FW is due for an F-35 Sqn in 2020 and another in 2022, only one of the F-15 Sqns is scheduled to disband, that is a little later than your timeline but might fit with a couple of your changes Considered but I wanted to 2019 time frame to get the second Kirov BCGN in the mix. quote:
Comd 6th Fleet is in Rota not Naples Old fart excuse, I will change! Thanks and nice catch quote:
This is real nit-picky - the security classification wording should probably be TOP SECRECT REL NATO, having NO Foreign in there is a bit of a contradiction. Picking nits is a good thing. Old fart excuse (we had "No Foreign" in our classification status in the 80s) and another good catch, will change. quote:
Very likely that a 'Rapid Raptor' sqn of F-22s would have deployed somewhere into theatre given the rising tensions -Very possible that a 'Forward Deployed' F-35 Sqn might be in theater already I assumed all F35 & F22 reinforcements would be deployed to Poland and the "Central Front." quote:
6th Fleet at Rota has 4 DDGs, a couple SSNs a Sqn of MPA http://www.c6f.navy.mil/ I would assume they will have some issues to address in the Med (Syria/eastern Med might be the next scenario in this line). quote:
Perhaps one or two of those assets in port with a delay ready time might be appropriate. Considered, part of my learning curve. The Norwegian NAval based is stocked to resupply the Storm MTBs and SS's should they survive that long (they haven't so far). quote:
There are usually a couple MC-130 Compass Call and U-2 in Europe, probably Mildenhall Hmmm The heavy Satellite coverage is daunting. With NATO hard pressed in the Baltics and near Poland wonder where those resources would be used? quote:
Unlikely that the MPA would deploy to Kef without protection, I think either 1st or 27th FS out of Langley would be the likely candidates - or the Rapid Raptors. Not sure I agree with that as in this scenario's assumptions, we are just in negotiations to reactivate that base and no stores for the top cover are available on base. The assumption is we received permission to reactivate as an MPA base and stores for that are already on hand and the Squadron is hastily/early deployed. I'm a bit worried about making NATO all powerful because once the Russian SAG and CVBG break out into the southern portion of the Norwegian Sea they will have their hands full with the QE group and Tornado's. Maybe even the P-3C Harpoons (which is a reason they are there for their Harpoon capability). quote:
I am noticing that you could be using Events and missions to more advantage. Thanks, yeah I was keeping them simple as I learn! Today the Events, tomorrow LUA! ![](http://www1.matrixgames.com/forums/image/s2.gif) ![](http://www1.matrixgames.com/forums/image/s2.gif) ![](http://www1.matrixgames.com/forums/image/s2.gif) ![](http://www1.matrixgames.com/forums/image/s2.gif)
