Bucks -> Reach Area VC (6/17/2007 10:51:52 PM)

Hi Andy, No trouble at all to answer your questions. The way I look at it, you're just the brave one who's preapred to ask. For every one of you there are probably 10 people who don't want to take the plunge and ask. I'm going to give the game away a little I suppose, but it's a good opportunity to explain this aspect of the game. The MAF ships need to reach somewhere in the vicinity of the TARG1 and TARG2 reference points. The Group's starting position is approximately 146nm from the TARG1 ref point so you have 9 hours to cover that distance. Yes you have to get the group there by 1400Z the same day. I believe the scenario starts at 0500Z, therefore you need to set the speed at 16.2kts (at least 17kts) to get there on time. Of course you can slow down but remember you need an average speed of at least 16.2kts (17kts) to reach the area by 1400Z. Now to cover your question about where you really have to reach. As the scenario orders don't really indicate exact reference points, using the "*" key (above the 9 on the keypad) you can turn on all datablocks and quickly see the TARG1 & 2 ref points. You've already discovered them yourself so lets assume TARG = target. I've taken another screenshot to illustrate this question from the scenario designer's perspective. The Reach Area Victory Condition, requires the designer to draw a Poly. This is indicated by the white rectangle shown on the map as I've used the scenario editor to take the screenie. The size of the Poly is determined by the scenario designer as he builds the scenario and the player will not see this while using the single player mode of the game. I've also noticed the text in the order and scenario info windows looks like it needs reformatting so I'll make a note about making sure the target points are clearly made known as such in the scenario orders. I don't have an issue with adding to this thread but if you don't mind we could probably deal with any issues you're having with scenarios on a case by case basis on the main Matrix forum page. I don't mind answering your questions and let's hope if we put this information out on the front page we might start others posting and even people adding to your questions. I hope this helps and feel free to ask away. Thanks Darren [image]local://upfiles/21733/12502C0BCC2249799275CF1C40AE6069.jpg[/image]
