IamKirk Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 In the user manual the behavior column contains the following sentence for the behavior of the Defend tactic: Embark on the first attached, non-conditioned route if moderate losses are sustained. I do not understand what that means; especially the "first attached" part. Do I put a way point near them and a route away from the area? Is that what that means? If so, what type of route; retreat, assault, etc? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a unit proceeding to a point with two routes away from the waypoint with a defend tactic (imagine it starting at the base of a "Y"), with one route conditional (that is a dashed one with "embark if ...") and another that this not conditional (solid). Then as the unit moves up the "Y" it gets to the junction and "defends". If it takes moderate (no idea what that is 30%, 60% ... ) casualties it should move onto the non conditional (i.e. solid) route. It will take casualties but then move on its own initiative. Effectively it removes the need for you to right click on the unit and select "proceed". Edited September 21, 2020 by Gibsonm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is moderate loss in Steelbeast? And what happens if unit is alone on waypoint with defend tactic? What then is moderate loss? Is it when unit is no longer operational? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Well the easiest option is probably to sandbox it. Create a simple test scenario with say a "blind" 3 vehicle Tk Pl. Set up the Y shaped idea above Wait until it gets to the fork in the "Y" Shoot at it. Does it move after it loses 1, 2 , ... vehicles? Then perhaps do it again with a 4 vehicle Pl.

Members Ssnake Posted September 23, 2020 Members Share Posted September 23, 2020 It should move out after the loss of the first vehicle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"putting things near" in this context only works with: Recovery vehicles and their tow (Not the AT Missile) AEV "BullDozers" and tank emplacements These are the only units that will seek out said objects (within their radius) and interact with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
