Modeling Strategic Airlift

[Secret Agent]

How does HC model strategic airlift? For instance (hypothetical question, here), if I want to fly a brigade to Korea, how would I go about doing that?

Thanks! :)

Okay, so you want to simulate the movement of a Brigade to Korea. There are some obstacles in the game, but this is how I would generally try to simulate it:

1) Create bases in the ROK and Home Base.
2) Add aircraft from Air Mobility Command [AMC] to the Home Base.
3) Calculate how many missions / flights would be required to successfully move a brigade. (I think that you will be very surprised. :surprise: )
4) Write orders and create Victory conditions that would force the player fly X number of missions that must arrive at the ROK base.

Some of the aircraft have loadouts that specify things like 100 men, Infantry company, or M-1 Tank instead of armament like bombs/missiles.

Now, a big problem is that the WestPac Battleset map doesn't cover ConUS so you might need to use Hawaii in order to simulate the Home Base.

I am certain that the HCG Professionals have lots of other ideas on how to simulate this in other interesting ways and I hope that they will share them with us. :)
