B3 and C3? Yes, I'll be up. I'll let Hedge do the fly swatting.

Most are now referred to as "UAS" Unmanned Aerial System.

I’m afraid as mentioned last week, I’ll be on an aircraft when you fight this. Good Luck!

No, it just creates clutter. I’ll answer the original thread. Oh no I can’t you deleted my response. Right did you read the description???? About “multiple units” and a simulation of armoured combat? Anyway, you can tell your direction in a few ways: 1. North is the top of the map (just like a real map). 2. In the 3D world, the lower right corner shows you a vehicle icon. The “front” of the vehicle will rotate as it changes position (e.g. if pointing down and to the right, its pointing SE). The barrel will point where the gun is pointing. There will be a white dot showing where you are looking if you are in say F8 mode.

Triplicate post?????

Either is fine with me.

@Grenny@Nike-Ajax I can probably make this for a "non speaking" part.

Daylight Saving now over and AS time zones have re-aligned. By now most readers will already know who BG ANZAC is, so I'll put the information relevant to this week in first, then background, etc. If you are new to the Forum, feel free to read the entire post. IMPORTANT: As a serving Officer, I am not allowed to make "public comment" about topics without clearance. This is why my signature block says what it says to cover written comment. Recorded audio on YouTube = "Public Comment", especially if I were to express a personal opinion (without knowing someone was recording). In addition recording people's voices in Australia is illegal without their permission or a Warrant. If you want to record a session, ASK! We maybe about fit you in (I maybe able to play the OPFOR, etc.). If you don't ask: a. Expect me to ask you to remove the YouTube (or other media). b. Don't be too surprised if you aren't welcomed back. BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): Your Local time: Click on this link for Local time in your part of the world Count down: Time remaining until Meeting start Mission will start promptly at 0900 GMT. If you want a pre game "chat" then by all means come on line at say 0830 GMT, but so that the Kiwi's aren't after Midnight, the Mission will commence promptly at 0900 GMT. Agenda: Based on the recent sustained good attendance, we are embarking on a more structured approach (only sustainable if the attendance is maintained). Planned Agenda: 1st meeting: Teach / Discuss a topic (Attack, Defence, Convoy Escort, Reserve Demolition, OPs, ...) using a scenario / map as the basis for discussion. As to what we cover, that will be will be determined by the response to the related email "newsletter" for this Wednesday sent to regular attendees. 2nd meeting: First volunteer develops a plan for the tactical problem and we see how they go. There will be a brief debrief at the end looking at strengths / weaknesses of their solution, which the person COing the next week is free to incorporate into their solution. 3rd meeting: We play the same scenario with a different CO (each able to improve / adjust their plan based on their predecessor). 4th meeting: We play the same scenario with a different CO (each able to improve / adjust their plan based on their predecessor). 5th meeting (if there is one in a given month): Q & A - You need to supply the questions or a "player's choice" determined by responses here / to email. As always, visitors (apart from one individual) / first timers / spectators are welcome. Current Standard: 4.379 Refer here: Please use the new Calendar RSVP function or post here to facilitate planning. Background: Who is BG ANZAC? https://www.bganzac.org Described here: http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/showthread.php?t=21753 A couple of examples of the BattleGroup at work: Multi Player session: Training session: Timings: Thursday evenings, Australian East Coast time. Daylight Saving has started and the number of time zones has increased. Next meeting: 0900 GMT on Thursday, April 18th. 1000 in London (BST) 1700 in Perth 1830 in Darwin 1830 in Adelaide 1900 in Brisbane 1900 in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra 2100 in Auckland In game chat / Communications: You'll need access to "Teamspeak" to communicate with us. The Teamspeak software is available here: Download Teamspeak client software How to connect and use it is detailed here: Steel Beasts Wiki Entry - Starter Pack Primary = eSim Teamspeak. 216.22.24.158 Alternate = BG ANZAC Teamspeak. 144.130.10.25 Contingency = BG ANZAC Discord. Emergency = Perhaps Teamviewer? Remote Access / Screen Sharing / Whiteboard Sessions: We continue the use of TeamViewer so people without the Steel Beasts software can connect and see and hear what we see and hear (looking over our shoulder if you like). Team Viewer available here This maybe a suitable vehicle for people to see what the software is all about (you can even use it on a Mac), without having to invest in even a short time limited copy. Anyway we'll see how it goes. So if you are interested, visit our Discord site https://discord.gg/YyrUtH3 and sign up.

No, not "Scania" or "Scania" or even "Scania", ...

Yep, I was trying to think of a good title. Thanks.

I guess a bear? We have "bin chickens":

Thanks for making me feel at home:

I guess they escaped from the Zoo?

This work around seems to do the job. Confirmed by my 1 person QA team.

In the short term I guess the "fix" for this scenario will be to make the dismount teams "player owned" and they will travel in "player owned if ..." vehicles. I'm not sure if the same work around will work for the scenarios mentioned elsewhere, but I'll review them once I know that changing the ownership in this one works.

@Ssnake@Volcano I think I found the issue. Test scenario: The "control" (1-1/A dismounts) are fine - both display the 3D world interface: The "test" (1-4/A) is setup with: 1 x dismount team (1-3A/A) Player owned. 2 x vehicles (1-4/A) and one dismount team (1-4A/A) "player owned if ..." - Trigger 1 activated. - Mission time > 5 minutes. - 1-4/A arrives in "Change ownership" Outcomes: Trigger 2 activated (just to see what the start state is): 1-3A/A remains player owned and UAS controls visible: 1-4A/A remains computer controlled and UAS controls not visible (probably intended as the Player / Tester should not be launching the UAS?): Trigger 1 activated (both dismounts now Player owned, icon changes colour), then Trigger 2 activated to dismount them: 1-3A/A remains player owned and UAS controls visible: 1-4A/A is now player owned and UAS controls not visible: Similar outcomes with elapsed time and entering the region, using three runs, one event per run to replicate the OR logic. I guess the unit losses the 3D world UAS control panel when ownership is set to "computer" but does not regain it if ownership becomes "player", based on some event, condition, trigger, etc. Scenario file: 240412 Test of UAS ownership 4_379.sce

I may have an update. After replacing the dismounts with new ones (dismount, detach, attach, mount) all was well. However that had the ownership as "player" throughout. Yesterday I edited the scenario so that the ownership reflected that of the parent vehicle and there are now reports that even when the player owns the unit (i.e. the conditions for "player if ..." are satisfied) they no longer see the 3D world control panel. I'm currently building a sandbox test scenario and will report back.

Well what I "want" is this: https://www.armortek.co.uk/products/leopard-2a4 Plus: https://www.armortek.co.uk/products/motion-option-pack Around 6,000 pounds (roughly AUD$11,500) and that's before shipping (roughly 100kg from UK to Australia will be $$$), painting, etc. What I can persuade my wife to consider is the Tamiya + slip ring kit + some 3rd party running gear etc. from DKLRMC.

These are, IMHO, junk. Poor finish (gaps between hull sections). For example this is the "top" model and look at the upper hull left rear compared to right rear: Turrets that can't traverse 360 degrees. Non Newtonian recoil - gun is at 3 o'clock but somehow the tank rocks back on the drive sprockets (i.e. the recoil has somehow turned 90 degrees). Hence why I'm buying a proper model. As I say IMHO only but I have no intention of buying one of these.

Thanks. I'll use 2 of the events currently prefixed with "Surplus ?".

Yes. If you look "in the other place". This was raised some time ago - they are wreck that don't really impact anything. However thanks for the musical chairs work around.

Thanks for that but I'm not interested in a Centurion (I can climb over a real one whenever I want) or the Tiger or a Sherman - I can buy one only and I'm buying the Leopard.

Yes. The party relationships look like this: There are no Blue or "US Straggler" units in either zone at mission start. Yet the message appears. There are spawning and draining civilians, but based on the above I'm working on them not being "friendly", The Russians are, of course, the bad guys and friendly to no one. Thanks for the reminder re "friendly" vs just "own units" though.

I may have mistyped. The report is meant to be generated if there are friendly helicopters in the region and there are green units. That is the helicopters are reporting that they have seen the green units. The issue is that if the regions are empty (i.e. none of the events are "true" and the sub check boxes are not ticked) the main checkbox is ticked and I still get the message. I'll go back and re-edit if needed.
