What's with the Campaign generator?

[Ivan Rapkinov]

I start to play a campaign as the Russkies - 2008 vs Chinese; 7000pts...

so I start Battle one, Meeting engagement, things are going pretty well, but as the battle drags on, it becomes apparent that the CPU player has a few more untis than me, which is okay too, as his quality isn't as good etc

what becomes more apparent is the fact that I'm out numbered significantly, to the point that I'm sure the points mean absoultely nothing...

quick TOE rundown:

Me (quality is mid range)

10 T-80s
3 BMP-2Ms & Mech inf sqd
4 BRM-2k & Recon inf sqds
1 FO
2 off map BM-30 arty btys

vs

(so far)
a hell of a lot - 90+ AFVs, 40+ APCs, 50+ inf sqds, 8+ on map mortars, at least 4 air strikes.

I ended up getting overrun, simply because my units were running out of ammo.

I tried an Aussie vs Indonesia, and finland vs Russia campign as well, and the same thing happens. This is with Tank hvy on. In the after match roundup, looking at the unit's list - mine takes maybe a page and a half, the CPUs get all the into the double digits...

I remember when SPMBT 2.5 came out it wasn't this bad. It only seems to be campaigns, normal generated battles seem okay.

Am I the only one who see's this, or has it happened to other people?

I've tried to replicate this but haven't been able to so far.

In your "Preferences" settings what do you have the Battle Points for each side set at?

[Ivan Rapkinov]

both sides set at 7k - I can accept some discrepency due to the various scn settings (assault, defence etc), but it's not fun to finish scns with multiple units having kill totals in the high 20's and it still being a draw due to the fact I can't get any victory hexes :D

and with that many units, small probability things happen a lot more often than reality... ;)

Are you spending the full 7000 pts? If not what is your force cost total?

[Ivan Rapkinov]

6980 or near enough - as I said only happens on user generated campaigns, though the year involved is only the 2006-2010 mark.

6980 or near enough - as I said only happens on user generated campaigns, though the year involved is only the 2006-2010 mark.You may not have it but I would like to see the end game screen OR a save game file of one where this happens again.

I have run several tests using this criteria (with Tank Heavy AI - ON) and the Chinese are purchasing only 1-2 Tank Platoons at most. Unit list screen has only been about 2 pages long at most. What do you have the difficulty set at?
