16 AUG scenario:

 

Clash of Armor 2014-4023

 

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:

• Draft? Yes.
• Random CO selection? Yes.
• Minimum # players: ~16

NOTES:

• Avoid studying the enemy's side; only gather intel from the briefing and exposed enemy unit icons (enemy intel), and briefly looking over both sides to figure out which one you want to CO. Anything beyond that ruins the fog of war element.
• To avoid passwords, open the scenario in Network Session as HOST and choose the side you want to play and go to planning phase. You may briefly look at both sides like this to see which side you want to play or CO on. As CO, once you choose a side, go to that side and create your plan.
• Remember to play within the TGIF House Rules and SB.com community rules.

How the map download manager works?

I launch the missions and opens the Map package download wizard, I press copy UID button but nothing happens, and the other buttons(Query package and download package) are not active.

[Gibsonm]

Is there a reason for what appears to be two mission downloads?

 

Ah "Friendly" vs "Own" map updates?

Yeah in case there arent many players, FMU option exists

[Rotareneg]

Were red side air defense units supposed to revive? I killed an SA-9, 1/SPAAW/HQ , at 1:50:07 and by 1:50:18 it has came back to life and drives off as if nothing happened.

[Bond_Villian]

No, there has never been a revive zone in this sce!

Whoops just noticed this post. 

 

It sounds like you are not connected to the server (you would see "Connected" in the bottom left).  Once connected, you press the download button and paste the UID in there, and it will download the map(s) - and that is all there is to it.

 

Make sure you have the latest version of the Map Download Manager, or else you won't be able to connect with the server (latest version at time or writing is v19 (get it from the eSim Games downloads page).

Perhaps the light infantry (pawns) could be 'elite' so as to enable them to cross the open areas better and recover stamina faster? Also RG/SMK for those dudes would be welcome

Edited September 8 by Bond_Villian

[Volcano]

No, no RGs for them - its intentional because I don't want them quickly dying when they face each other. Also, I don't really like the elite status idea, because I don't want them to be "OP" (but maybe I will make them regular)  -- queen infantry are the only elites.

[Bond_Villian]

Fair enough

[Gibsonm]

In case someone missed it:

 

 

I'm guessing you'll need this for today's session.

I'm a new player and would like to get involved in some multi player sessions.  I've worked through some of the tutorials and played some of the recommended missions Camp Hornfelt.  Only familiar with a few of the vehicles.  Is it to early to consider participating?  Cheers

No, not at all.

 

Just turn up at TGIF or Kanium or BG ANZAC (depends on where you live - look in the Calendar or the other posts here to get an idea of days/times) and tell them you are a new player and they will make you welcome.
