Grenny Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Greetings...With this exelent campaing finished(?), I'd like to bring up some "old issues".I've been off the net for some time (here and in the german community) due to some RL problems.Those will be fixed beginning from 01jun10.Therefore I have 2 proposals.1):I have one big scenario on the shelf which waits to be run! Bn size TF against a dug in enemy...focus will be on deploying engineer-support.Hope we find 20+ players to fight that on some june saturday.2):I've got the idea of a different campain setting. Plan is to call out to all VU's what forces they could field under their banner...form a TF of them and fight the evil AI ;-)Set up should be that no one directly controls more than a half platoon. Maximum in that order would be 4 men i.e. 2 Platoons. VU's that bring 5(and more) men would form 2 platoons + Co (instead of 2 plt + 1 half plt). VU's able to field a complete company should provide an "Xo" for fire- and combat support tasks.As soon as this BLUE setup is clear...a fitting OPFOR(ai) can be created.Aim is to give all VU's the chance to "fight" within a bigger scale and to further unit cohesion.I would set the timeline for this to a start in august or september.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Any comments/questions/ideas on these two issues?byeGrenny 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacbat Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 A couple of good ideas there G. Looking forward to seeing them realized. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Volcano Posted May 8, 2010 Moderators Share Posted May 8, 2010 Yes, Red Leopard is officially concluded -- as Tarball reminded me I was just as much a co-designer of it has he. So let it be known, it is now complete. He stated as such in the RL thread recently, the only real thing we need to do is give out the forum award for the two COs and for the creator, and we want to post the RL rules and info in the SBwiki. The reason for the latter is so that it can be part of the "history" and be referenced and possibly used by other people who want to make a similar campaign in the future (the whole reason for putting campaigns in the SBwiki is the hope that other people will run one using those same rules, or make up their own). I like both ideas (#1 and #2). The second idea is particularly interesting too, people can play with who they are used to playing with and then collectively help and cooperate with each other on a unit level. It would be almost like real life! There are some "independents" / "loners" / "mercs" (including myself) that would of course band together and form a temporary VU for such an occasion, so keep that in mind as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Volcano Posted May 9, 2010 Moderators Share Posted May 9, 2010 You mean for the Merc team? Sure, why not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarball Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 RL is concluded, and good times were had by all. I think there is a one-off day-long campaign in the works from the German players coming up, so stay tuned.More than anything, it was my hope (and Volcano's) that the Red Leopard prime the pump for more campaigns and more related ideas. That seems to have worked to a degree. It must be said that the seed that sprouted Red Leopard was Operation Variable, so the more multi-part, community-inclusive things that we cook up - things that get us together and get up playing the most-excellent Steel Beasts Pro PE - the better.As to Grenny's idea #2, I say "hell yes." I really do like Coop. In a pinch, however, you could have Head 2 Red, with a REALLY limited number of RED operators - no more than 3 perhaps. I would LOVE to commit/volunteer to do RED, but I'm not sure how much time I'll have this summer. It certainly gets the gears of the mind turning.Looking forward to this campaign idea take root. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Hmm, I may have something here (at least in terms of a series of linked scenarios) that I can borrow from some trg I'm providing sim spt for. This consists of 2 AS BG's (1 x Mech, 1 x Mot) leapfrogging each other up and across Puckapunyal range. The Mech BG has: 1 x Cav Tp (Type 1 and 2 ASLAV), 1 x Armd Sqn (M1), 3 x Mech Coy (M113AS4) and an echelon. The Mot BG has: 1 x Cav Tp (Type 1 and 2 ASLAV), 1 x Armd Sqn (M1), 3 x Mot Coy (Bushmaster) and an echelon. As its mainly used for Arty trg, each BG also has a FIST vehicle per CT as well as a UAV (we now call them UAS apparently - System not Vehicle) attached. The OPFOR as currently scripted is involved in imposing delay but that could always be changed. Does that sound like a basis for something useable? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted May 10, 2010 Moderators Share Posted May 10, 2010 Yeah sure, it sounds like it could be good fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango29 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I guess I'm an "Independent," and I certainly do like campaigns. So I'll be happy to join as a "go where I'm told to go, do what I'm told to do" -type player in any scenario that the Powers-That-Be choose to run! :bigsmile: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
