    OBA vs Open Topped AFV crew

    A open topped AFV in motion is struck in the turret by 100+mm OBA. The roll was 3,4. The vehicle appears to be fine, but how do we resolve the General Collateral Attack vs the crew of this moving open topped AFV. Thanks

    Thoughts on Coding Orchards...

    In Don Maddox's Map Textures there is a Level 1 and Level 2 Orchard. Anyone, Don, have any opinion on what attributes, within TacOps, should be given an "orchard"? Is it really rough? How about an LOS Block? Ideas? Thanks, Pete

    Helicopter Landing Zones

    Helicopter Landing Zone Placement. How many of you scenario designers out there use these? I can see where they would come into play more with military users, using maps of bases with established LZ’s. Since LZ’s are not identified to opposing players until a clear line of sight is...

    Solitaire/ Hot-Seat USMC Battalion Attack

    Using a portion of my TDG “Battle along the Tziepov” inspired map, pitted a USMC battalion with mech support, a tank platoon, and a section of AH-1W against an OPFOR company’s worth of BTR-80’s. Their ATGM support was in the form of AT-14 Kornets. OPFOR also had a battery of 2S31 SP 120mm...

    Units Transiting Bridges

    During a playtest last night, and on a couple of other occasions, I have multiple units getting hung up on umpire-placed "engineering" bridges. In this instance these are 80-rated bridges "carefully" placed on the "river" connecting "roads" that end on both sides of the "river". I am careful...

    Map Graphic vs the Terrain Effects

    This is addressed primarily to MajorH and all you map designers out there. I cannot seem to replicate the smooth lines of some of the more recent maps - roads, rivers, elevations, woodlines, etc. My most recent design is still "choppy". I believe it to be a function of trying to model the...

    TF Taylor 21 August 2005

    Tinjaw and I gave TF Taylor a run through this weekend. This is not much of an AAR beyond the fact that we ran it as a 2 player network game. Scenario pits a meched up USMC Infantry Bn reinforced vs a seemingly never ending RedFor Motorized Rifle Bn Reinforced. It was a knock-down drag out...
