Flashpoint Campaigns - Meta Campaign Idea

[jomni]

Do I have to use all points or will  they be carried forward?

[jomni]

Points can be carried forward BUT whatever support you purchase is only available for that next mission. After that they go away, i.e., must be "bought again" in future missions.

[jomni]

No worries.  My earlier request still stands.

Working up the next missions. Got a little slowed cause the screen on my laptop died yesterday morning just after work.  >:( Got it hooked up to the TV when I need it but its the weekend and that isn't going over well with the wife and kids.

OK, back on track and I am sending a PM to the 3 commanders with a link to their 2nd scenario/mission file as well as the same basic instructions on what I need to continue trying to make this thing work. There is no time limit on when I need these completed. The current commanders are;

   
• Captain jomni > CDR, A TRP/3 SQD/175 ACR/2 CD
• Captain Barthheart > CDR, B TRP/3 SQD/175 ACR/2 CD
• Captain Tinkershuffle > CDR, C TRP/3 SQD/175 ACR/2 CD

PM me with any questions you have.

For anyone interested in having a go at the playtest missions for the Flashpoint Campaigns – Meta Campaign you can download the 1st set of scenarios on my blog at Flashpoint Campaigns – Meta Campaign – 1st Round Missions.

As I noted in my blog they are very small and are NOT balanced. They should only be played from the US side as there is no briefing text for the Soviets. I would also recommend playing with all "Game Play options" unchecked. ;)

[Tinkershuffle]

Our forces dropped below 30% but the area around Urspringen and Oberelsbach remains contested.

nice job! That's a lot of red crosses....  O0

A little too many blue ones also.. :(

[jomni]

A Troop suffered heavy casualties (mostly damaged or fallen out) and just retained one objective. But we dealt enough damage on the enemy to halt their advance.
The area of operations was very tight in my case.  No space to maneuver.  :'(


Greetings from the Inspectorate of the General Staff -

To: Captain jomni , commanding A TRP/3/175 ACR

* In the battle of "GCCFCRS_AI_A-Troop_M2" your forces worth 1,051 points obtained just 57% (980 vs 730) of awarded victory points against an enemy force worth 862.  You should be aware that the Inspectorate considers your performance, on balance, to be tolerable.

* Your force has claimed 12 Recce, 34 APC, 29 Inf, 4 AT, 5 HQ and 3 AD enemy subunits.

* Remaining force tally -
  Active: 4 Recce, 1 Helo, 4 Tank, 4 APC, 3 HQ, 2 SP Arty and 1 Utility.
  Fallen out: 13 Recce, 4 Tank, 4 APC and 3 SP Arty.
  Destroyed: 1 Recce and 1 Tank.

* By the end of the battle your units had a 91% average readiness and a command cyle duration of 13 minutes.

* Your force finished the encounter in relatively good shape and needs to refit for only a relatively short time to recover the 24 fallen out subunit(s).

Yeah, was looking at moving you to another mapsheet where you could fall back if needed but wanted to see how it played with the small area. You may be happy to know you will likely be counter-attacking to retake those bridges and force the reds back across the river.   

[jomni]

No worries. Anyway, I left the objectives undefended and let the Russians move into the objectives. I then picked them off while they sit in the open. Problem is that HQ and mortars are literally in the front lines because I can't move them back so they also took a beating.

[Barthheart]

Squeaked out a marginal victory... wiped out Reds HQ! But again my forces got mauled badly..... 

Tough battle. I messed up the use of my arty asset.... but also managed an ICM strike on 2 armoured piles.. 

This is fun. Thanks DD for organizing it.

Laptop screen still not fixed and got hit with what is likely the Flu yesterday so it might be a couple more days before I get things back on track again.  >:(
