1. It wasn't to small when our friends, Red Alert, designed it. Maybe we can add some units. That is their choice.

2. The mission was made by Red Alert. It was their turn. How do you know if it is boring? We each take turns to make the missions. Next week it is our turn.

This is a casual fun session. Anyone can play. No matter the skill level :)

Look at the units, 5 t72 against 4 leo2 +2 leos 1, and 4 bmps against 3 cv90, you  know the result of this battle before is played.
Title: Re: Midweek Madness H2H SB Pro 24/08/16
Post by: Lumituisku on August 24, 2016, 06:21:55 AM
We need 6 operational afv to capture. We are attacking. And they have as well 4 missile teams. And those t72 are never ones. I think it will be very difficult for us to win.

Though you are correct. Thermals make a lot difference... Even to point of unfair advantage.

We are waiting for a new scenario for cooperative play. We can use not only the techniques of the USSR.

Also do you want co-op or head to head. And do you guys want to use Russian equipment or something else would be good as well?
Title: Re: Midweek Madness H2H SB Pro 24/08/16
Post by: Lumituisku on August 25, 2016, 01:51:29 PM
Also, I was thinking that what if we would ask others and maybe 911 if they are interested of joining into weekly Wednesday mission rotation?

Any thoughts guys?

Hey guys, let's cooperative game. For us tanks-type LEO, BMP-type CV or Pizarro.

Post by: Lumituisku on August 26, 2016, 04:07:59 PM
So co-op, same equipment. Chees... need to think this.

I'm not going to script AI so i think I will simply play on enemy side alone making it little more smart. Though now question is of what kind of mission... and thus cause it's AI controlled vehicles opfor will need quite large number... unless it's against modern ones such as m1a2s hmm...  and it's total mystery of how many players we will get so... hmm chees

Also it likely should be something simple so that potentially large numbers of players with likely communication trouble would be able to keep up on what's supposed to happen.


Erm good ideas anyone?

I'm guessing it will be attack of different companies. RA, DoW and reserve

Hi Lumi,

is it possible to spawn or desactivate units from the menu triggers ?

Maybe something you can do if you are unsure about participant count, is to make one mission with a few companies per side. Then with triggers you just spawn/desactivate some of them so you can scale the OOB depending on the number of players. :)
That way, you have a mission ready, if you have extra people, or if some people are missing, you manage the unit count at mission start !

That's what i do sometime in DCS, but i'm not very familiar with steelbeast.

In steelbeast adding is easy. Taking away.... is not possible unless unit is spawned "dump" unit that will disappear when it hits exit zone.

Only way in steelbeast are to disable or destroy.


But thats not really what I'm troubled of. I'm more troubled of what kind... what type mission and what kind of story would make it interesting and immersive. B that it would be something else. Than just a shooting range.

Also trying to think terrain / environment... and eny tactics. Well... regardless I'm going to make enemy do something surprising anyways... but what... is yet mystery
