All, The next DC Conscripts Gameday is scheduled for next SUNDAY (not our usual Saturday date) at Kingstowne Center for Active Adults (6488 Landsdowne Center, Alexandria, VA 22315). We are piggybacking on the Kingstowne Gamer's game day. Doors open at 830am, though I will certainly not be...

Does anyone have a file of all NATO Symbols as images? Ideally, I'd like .gif of all the different NATO symbols, but I'll take any image symbols at this point. I downloaded a couple of files off the internet that I can create them from, but I'm trying to save myself some time. Thanks, Brian

Ok, here's the beginning of my aar. I'm going to try to give you an idea of what I was thinking...so don't laugh too hard. I'm still learning this operational stuff. I tend to be fairly aggressive and try to find the path my opponent will least expect. Sometimes this works...sometimes it...

One more question: I'm looking through Jane's Armour and Artillery and I come across a main armament that says 100mm rifled. How/where do I get information to create this gun to add to my AFV (other than just copying an already existing 100mm in the db? Thanks, Brian

How do the turret kill odds work? Is a vehicle killed differently with a turret hit vs. hull hit? Does having all weapons zeroed out for turret kill-odds increase a vehicles survival rate? Thanks, Brian

I just need to do the OpOrd and Sittemp before I upload my new scenario. One quick question -- Along with uploading all of the files for the actual scenario, I need to upload the database where I added the new mujahideen units. Is that correct? Thanks, Brian

Ok...I'm in trouble again. All of my dismounts, though showing up in the unit hierarchy as being mounted in vehicles, do not show up on map in the game (or in the scenario editor for that matter). When I double click in the unit hierarchy view to find the icon, the box highlights an invisible...

Hey guys, I got my first event box up and running in my scenario and I'm pretty excited about that. Hopefully I'll be able to get this puppy out in the near future or at least in my lifetime. I have a couple of questions for you though: 1. Can you have multiple event boxes in one...

Can you use neutrals to serve as spotters/observers for a side? The mujahideen often used men dressed as civilians (no weapons) to serve as observers. Is this something that can be done in ATF? Thanks, brian

A basic question on the Afghanistan Maps...when I zoom in, there are a ton of blue symbols throughout the map. What are these? Thanks, Brian

Is there anyway to effectively model trenches in ATF? The Mujahideen obviously used trenches (and caves) to move out of harms way and into new fighting positions. My guess is this is well out of the scope of ATF, but thought I'd ask. Thanks, Brian

Ok gentleman, I've created some Mujahideen units that I'd like to run by you to make sure I'm headed in the right direction. They are: Fire Team 4xAKM 7.62 AT Team 1xRPG-7 1xAKM 7.62 MG Team 1xDShK 3xAKM 7.62 82mm Mortar Team 1x82mm Mortar 3xAKM 7.62 60mm Mortar Team...

Guys, I'm working on my first scenario design and had a couple of questions for you. As background, I'm going to do a scenario based on the Russian-Afghan War based on a couple of books I have by Lester Grau. This is going to be a small first scenario, but hopefully once I get the hang of...

I wanted to print off a hard copy of the fulda gap map so I could sketch out a new scenario before working on it on the computer. Is there an easy way to do this? I've done print screen to Photoshop5, but the only way to get a decent printout is to save at a higher zoom rate. This means I...

I just finished playing DP's latest installment and really enjoyed it. Don't read this if you plan on playing this scenario soon...I don't want to ruin the fun for you. :) Except for a quick bathroom break, I kept the clock running continuously as requested. The mission is to hold a key...

When you're adding a new vehicle to the database, how do you determine Pk and Ph numbers? I know the original ATF Database was based on MILES II and SAWE numbers, but where do you get new weapon system numbers from? The same place or some other way? Thanks, Brian

Before you start, I want to let you know this post is very long. :nuts: After reading everyone's posts on planning an attack, I worked up my own plan and went on the offensive. Despite losing almost my entire task force, I was actually fairly please with my performance. I also came a lot...

Is there any way to save a screen shot? I just finished Fulda Gap 4 and thought I'd do an AAR. If not, I'll do the AAR without it. Something I'm sure all of you are looking forward to :p Brian

Since I actually beat the bad guys this time, I thought I'd send out a quick AAR to see if anyone has any thoughts on different tactics for this scenario. You start with 2 Armor Platoons, 1 Mech Inf platoon, 2 Volcano mine layers, and 1 FIST. After 1.5-2 hours you get support from an Attack...
