Title: DOW Missions - schedule / In progress / general discussion
Post by: Lumituisku on June 04, 2016, 10:26:48 AM

Okay after having troubles on last two weeks I feel that actual schedule and discussion has to be set up.

Until today morning I was in understanding that schedule that was planned around three weeks ago would hold up even today. And that today we would actually play Cougars campaign.

Yet as I yesterday PM:med him asking if so. He replied that he was in understanding that My campaign should be played. So, neither was prepared having campaign mission ready to play. So I picked up one mission from the past that I sort of want to take another shot at.

Most of you guys might remember this mission as EMP one. ;) And since there is one player on Opfor this mission can and will be very different from last time. Even when general plot is about the same. I will make some minor hasty changes to make a little bit more difference to last time.

So currently my general question is...  what are we going to play next week... and in what order in future. - Also, I have not heard from Redwardancer at all for quite a while. I hope he is still alive.

Right now....  in my understanding we have following missions coming.

Connaugh's - mission Battle of Mountains
Cougar's -  Team Iron campaign
Lumi's - Suomussalmi campaign part 2

Redwardancer's mission for this month I have not heard of, bu I will pm him.

Is there anyone else willing to contribute to making DOW missions?

If we would be playing some of old missions again. What missions you guys would want to have another try on?

Conn. Is your mission ready to play? Cougar needs one more week for his mission and we were planning that we would play your mission. The battle of mountains.

Lumi:

I have made some minor revisions but what I have is ready.
However, I will be playing Rolling Thunder on June 11th and I would like to defer the mission to a later week.

Ah...  there is Rolling thunder event...  I had entirely forgot that one. Chees...  I guess there will be mild participation then anyways, cause many have though to participate to that.
Title: Re: DOW Missions - schedule / In progress / general discussion
Post by: Lumituisku on June 08, 2016, 06:09:33 PM

So I'm guessing we are going to have extremely low participation this saturdays DOW mission. Id like to know who are going to come to be able to pick or make us a proper mission.

I actually started making new small scenario...  and it will be rather "interesting."  as well fairly small...  and should be easy to CO. So if there is volunteer CO, I could brief one early.

There will be total 6 playable AFVs + CO. And mission will be more like...  patrolling / peacekeeping. Not so much of shooting.  So this time.. its all about comms and situation awareness.


However...  due to nature of this mission...  wed need at least 4 players to even think playing this. If we go under..  I suggest we pick something else.


So yeah...  who are to come to play this saturday?

Of course if anyone else has small mission ready to be played that would be welcome as well. Cougar what are your toughs of this weekend?

Well my mission is playable already. It just needs briefing. And then it could be posted to forums. Though.... since I'm busy today and tomorrow so I can't post it before Friday Night.

Classified description could do for now... or UN forces in peacekeeping operation have got into situation where they try to defend civilian refugees, from war between two countries. Currently located to a camp in the mountains but near border between countries in war with each other. These mountains unlikely to be war area, though religios hostile groups are likely to pester the area.

That could do for now as mission description.
Leopard 1a5dks 2x and piranhas (rws) 4x + co m113g4-dk. Trucks and medics trucks.

Task to avoid battles and to protect life's of civilians at camp while waiting for more refugees to arrive and Food supplies to starved children.


That's about it... can't do more right now. Next time I'll be in pc... after 26+ hour's

Thank you Goucar for making post!

Immersion mission? Uhh I feel pressures now. Hopefully it will be like that. Sb can be clunky... especially with my missions. >.<

Post by: Lumituisku on June 11, 2016, 05:06:12 PM
So this saturday we play either my hastily made UN-Forces mini mission.. or some small random one. How about on next week? Cougar you will get your mission ready by then?

Okay so Cougars mission on next week. Conn... when do you want your mission to be played?


Also Red, how is your mission making currently. If you need advice or help let us know. - Would be very nice to see you again in our missions as well.
Title: Re: DOW Missions - schedule / In progress / general discussion
Post by: Lumituisku on June 22, 2016, 10:21:26 PM

This saturday we will play Connaughs mission Battle for Mountains.


Also I recently got confirmed that I will not be here on next saturday becasue I will have my good friend coming to visit, and we will go to hiking together to wilderness.

so my campain cannot be played on 2th July. I can possibly craft a small mission with working AI for saturday 2th of July.

Unless Redwardancer has his mission ready by then?

Also ideas for Saturday mission for 2th of July are welcome.

I will be at home 9th of July.. so that is the day when my campaign will get next part unless someone is against that?

Post by: Lumituisku on June 28, 2016, 04:00:13 PM
This weekend we will play Connaughs mission cause I will be away.

For the next weekend we could finally play my campaign mission.

Is there any other missions ready to play?

Cougar and Redwardancer what are status of your missions?

Also I have no idea what mission we would play on sunday. We could try this mission Rotar found, called "The Chariot" looked a bit nasty cause enemy is modern american...  but aint too long.

We had fun last weekend.

We can give it a try.

Post by: Lumituisku on July 25, 2016, 05:09:32 PM

Hey Cougar, hows your campaign will you be able to make it for this Saturday or should there be something else?

Also I'm curious about the CO-OP mission with others. If I understood it correctly last time, I think you said that you will do it. Correct? Let us know how you're managing things so we can scratch up missions faster if need to.

Title: Re: DOW Missions - schedule / In progress / general discussion
Post by: Cougar11 on July 25, 2016, 09:33:12 PM
I will be putting out my mission by Wednesday for commanders, and final post by Friday depending on commanders. Then over the next two to three weeks start and finish the next others/DOW mission. As I develop it, we can start looking at a time table for the actual mission date.

Hey guys, instead of making excuses i'm going to say this straigh.

A long time RP friend is going to have birthday on next Saturday. And Due to fact that she is having very hard times in her life, I ough to cheer her up by writing her a novel. So... if possible I would not make mission for next saturday nor sunday. But rather focus on this writing task to get best possible quality story for her. She kind of saved my life couple of years ago when I was most depressed and she still is brightest beacon on my life, that keeps me motivated and focused on living.

Im kind of stressed about this writing thing...  as I really want to make it unique to her...  and its been on my mind for last month... but I have pushed it aside in favor of steelbeast. However.. now I better to focus on her, for at least this week. -  I might not come much to TS either... to be able to focus on writing. At least during time when i'm working on it.

Sincerely ~ Lumi

Post by: Cougar11 on September 18, 2016, 07:00:20 PM
I am focusing on getting the joint others DOW mission ready. When that is done, I will go back to working on the campaign. I still have to make the back story, and I'm mission briefing. Then make a battalion level order. As well as posts/Manning lists for the others mission.

Alright. So Conn's mission will be played on 24th.
And  then likely a continuation mission for hot potato. Unless I get some other idea that is easy enough to make

I have made 2 missions that are basically done. I just need to type up the briefings. One is set in the late 70's during the Rhodesian Bush War & the other is the 1st mission in an open ended campaign of a hypothetical war.

I was planning on shouting out in the near future to see if I can get a cpl guys to test it with me. It works fine albeit kinda hard SP but want to make sure it works well MP as well.

Post by: Lumituisku on September 19, 2016, 01:21:57 PM
Sounds good. If you can upload those missions to filbrowser and me / other mission creators will take look at it. To make sure that all critical parts such as triggers, ending conditions will work correctly. (Triggers will need to be signed to a unit to work in MP) ending conditions can cause very awkward and sudden ending of mission. Etc. But we will take look on those. :)

Ok I will try to type up the mission brief this evening & will post it to my website & send you a link.
