EDIT : Mission event starting time was wrong on the Event time announcer!!! fixed the link
EDIT : Removed part of text about M1s and M2s that was falsely remaining from past mission announcement from where I had copied mission base for text

Albeit mission has lot's of units. Don't be scared of taking control of platoon. Terrain is fullu open, no rocks or water.

mission intention is to clearly by-pass any obstacles such as minefield or steelbeams from a good distance. - That is why there is no breaching equipment!!!

The reason for high number of units is the fact of close range engagement and friendly forces being attacking it is guaranteed that there will be losses.

Also please. Could someone post this mission to other locations? I have not done that yet, and frankly... I'd prefer not to.

I can take 2-B.

PS.  You some parts of the text from the last mission. Check the part about M1A2s.

Hmm... I though that in the past we had something like that on all missions regardless of vehicles that are there.  Oh well.



Ill add you both. :)

Tank M-60 for me please.

I added you Oleg. :)

Mission starting time was marked wrong on the Event time annoincer!

Oh right.. april fools day... on first day of the month... I should have known.

I cannot play today with you guys. But I tested mission heavily today and did some minor balancing and timing tweaks on it.

New version is V3. You can find it from the filebrowser. Steelbeast/Dow missions/V4 missions/ Capture town abullah. Israel VS egypt 1983.V3.sce


I wish you guys best of luck. Hopefully you will survive without too many losses... and enjoy it.

Can transfer the game to the next Sunday?

Good idea. We don't have too many payers this week for this kind of mission. We can play something smaller though.

I agree.

I woke up and kinda wanted to see if here was any comments.

And sights  :banghead  :dunno

All I can say that this mission... Despite large looking unit size is doable. And should not cause stress.

I'd give it a go. But if you have something else... Well option is yours

I'm sorry for not being able to participate.. I have a work related appointment tomorrow.

oh heck...  ill participare anyways... because I have woken up. >.<   so it wont be about people numbers.

8 people today. This is great. Here's my screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/9ABti

Heh.. I suppose there must have been many rooms on that building... And. I guess it was made of steel reinforced be concrete. xD

Poor infantry soldier. Only wet splatter remaining after this.

Very nice screens Rinix!

I wanted to achieve '70s look based on actual Yom Kippur pictures.
