The African Campaign

I don't think I had that one, I'll look into it, thanks.

Another one I thought was well done and tons of fun was Tobruk. But it is very tactical with Lines Of Sight and Ranged Direct Fire. This can be kluged but doesn't feel right when playing, so rather than Frankenstein it I choose to leave it alone

I have a (maybe silly) question.

I downloaded all your files and followed the instructions step by step. All seems ok, except for the hex grid. I have the new default (white corners), not the black hex lines in the screenshots of this thread.

How can I get that look ?


Regards

Here it is, unzip it to your Scenario Folder [or if you want to use it all the time, unzip into your main/default Graphics folder].

Status: offline 		This is an extremely well-done and funny scenario. I think the scale helps the Soviet AI, that gives an extremely good challenge (at least to me )

Highly recommended.

I have one question, though.

Why is it recommended in the documentation to start the scenario in hotseat and then change Soviets to AI ? What is wrong in starting with a Soviet AI ad initio ?

There's some events that the AI needs to fire on turn one and the PO needs to do those. So starting the game with the PO in charge of the Soviets is really needed for the game to play correctly.

Yes, but the scenario notes says that the scenario should be started in hotseat and THEN changed to Soviet AI...

Cheers

Status: offline 		That was to prevent Initiative Swings, which would allow each side to have consecutive turns, which did not work well. Currently, at this time, I feel like that has been corrected by the addition of Variable Initiative to the Game Options. Please turn this OFF.

Starting in Hotseat prevented consecutive turns,so I will remove that instruction from the scenario for the next time it is posted.

and for those interested, even if you still have your original, might want to upgrade...

back in the day, when L2 Designs was around, they were selling both Russian Campaign and Russia Besieged. After talking with the designers, (at the annual BPA event), I bought the latter. Now Compass Games is selling a deluxe edition of RB. But at $99....... Have to think long and hard about that
