How can this be pulled off?

Spent Nukes are not counted as destroyed by the civ2 engine you know.

Case is right, Jim. You should use a Bradley. The LAV is lightly armoured by comparison with a Bradley and is used only by the USMC.

If you want elite British infantry then you should either use Paras or Royal Marine Commandos

If the scenario is set in 1991 you should also use a Challenger 1 not Challenger 2:

Yep. COuld something like this work in that specific case?

Thank you, Gareth. I exchanged the British Tanks. Btw, do you have also a M-2 Bradley?

The only way this could work would be if a land, sea or non nuke air unit attacked a landed nuke. Nuke blasts aren't regular attacks and aren't detected by events.

jim panse · August 1, 2003, 05:43

I meant it the other way round: The "Nuke Readying wonder" enables both sides to build nukes. These missiles need to be stockpiled somewhere. And that´s the idea beyong it: If those missiles are destroyed by the enemy you will receive replacement units.
Retaliation will happen when the nukes of the enemies are on their way.

Here's a M2 made by Jimmywax

Exactly.

I suppose you could just let the nukes be buildable.The AI anyway has a habit of using nukes a lot, so after the first nuke is launched the nuclear holocaust you are eager to achieve will propably take place.

jim panse · August 2, 2003, 06:59

Based upon Jimmywax´ M2 Bradley I´m using the gfx after making some minor changes. I hope you do not mind, Jimmy!

BTW, what do you think now of the units?

Case · August 2, 2003, 07:22

AFAIK, the Marder only has one cannon

Other then that, it's an excelent and very good looking selection of units (though I'd personally switch the Scottish troops to regular Brits and replace one of the Warsaw Pact infantry units with a French infantry unit - historically, the French fielded units with quite different (and superior IMO) structures to the rest of NATO.)

jim panse · August 2, 2003, 08:59

Next changes:

The Marder cannon has been changed. Thanks Nick!

The AH-64A Apache has now also a unit shield.

If I seperate the French and the British Infntry from the NATO troops what schould I do with the Benelux States´ Armies? I decided to leave the NATO and the Soviet Bloc infantry as they are.

I hope you understand that.

edit: spelling.

jim panse · August 2, 2003, 09:37

BTW, a screen shot of the Berlin area. An appetizer!

fairline · August 2, 2003, 10:58

Looks good. I have to agree with Case - you should replace the Scottish Regiment with either standard British infantry or, if you want elite infantry, either Paras or Royal Marine Commandos. If you realy want to keep 'em Scottish, then you should change the name: 'Royal Highlanders' don't exist. 'Black Watch' or 'Scots Guards' or just 'Highland Regt' are alternatives.

Having that bloke emerge from the Warrior driver's viewport looks kinda stupid, if you don't mind me saying

BTW, you've removed my sig from the Challenger

...and to be even more petty, the Yanks don't paint big white stars on the side of their Abrams tanks

This will be fixed!

If you say so ..... I will remove it.

Oooops, sorry. Please forgive me, Gareth.

This I knew but I painted the white star there to make it easier to reckon´ as an Yakee unit.

Eivind IV · August 4, 2003, 15:43

Wow! Looks amazing, jim!

EZRhino · August 5, 2003, 14:09

By the early 80's I think the Spetsnaz were the Soviet Union's primary special forces/paratrooper units, not the VDV.

fairline · August 5, 2003, 14:14

The VDV are the Russian paratroop forces. The spetznaz are the Russian special forces who are para trained and linked to the VDV. The US equivalents would be Airborne troops and Green Berets, while in Britain it's the Paras and the SAS; they perform different functions and there are many more VDV/Airborne/Paras than there are Spetznaz/Green Berets/SAS.

jim panse · August 12, 2003, 17:44

Ok, as I haven´t been to Vienna the last couple of days I want to state I´m back and bump this thread back to page 1.

Dr Kellogg · August 15, 2003, 17:27

I can't wait to play this!

*bump*

curtsibling · August 16, 2003, 06:09

It's looking good, Jim!!!

jim panse · August 16, 2003, 08:14

here´s the latest units file, you know what to do now!

Bossy20000 · October 18, 2003, 17:13

Is this scenario still under construction, or has it been abandoned? I really looked forward playing it!!!! Please say it is still under construction!!!

Pablostuka · October 19, 2003, 00:20

When Jim lost all his data due to his computer crash, he lost this scenario files as well

I'm afraid it has been abandoned...

jim panse · October 19, 2003, 05:37

I am still trying to recover my data but I haven´t been sucessful yet.

Bossy20000 · October 19, 2003, 08:11

I hope you will succeed, because it sounded really promising! Stupid comuters, I had to reformat mine a few weeks ago and lost tons of data (although I could save some on an extra drive, but not even half I had => 30 Gigabyte lost!!!)
