    2007 Thanksgiving CPX

    Considering that this player was playing from a tent in Khandahar, these units could be anywhere now ;)

    2007 Thanksgiving CPX

    From an observer's perspective, I'd say that if RED had started 3-5 km west of their original positions, there would have been some interesting maneuvers around the village while the house to house action was taking place. These little Humber scout cars did a great job tying down the...

    Unit naming

    Hi, Is there somewhere I can look at to understand better how military units are named? How are Brigade named, then Bn, Rgt and so on. This may be evident for military people, not so much for me though. This issue arose when I was working on the OPFOR Mot Bd but have been bugging me for...

    Generic OPFOR Rifle Bn

    Upgrade to Mot Brigade Hi, The file in the download section now contains the OOB for a complete Motorized brigade (Div,OPFOR) built according to FM 100-63. Each components are importable separately, a borrowed diagram is provided to help choosing what to import. I chose to post it...

    Generic OPFOR Rifle Bn

    MajorH, The tedious way, although I didn't mind too much while watching Xmas movies with the kids. Where are these DB dumps? Is it on tacopshq? I import things only once and use the python script to duplicate and rename repetitive units (Plt, Co, etc.) I want to build OOB files for up to Mot...

    Generic OPFOR Rifle Bn

    I've uploaded a couple of files in the download section. This is a set of OOB files to quickly generate dismounted/light infantry units according to FM 100-63. Use the OOB files in the Expanded subfolder, or tweak the base folder OOB files and generate TacOps valid OOBs using the provided python...

    101st BCT organization

    2SBCT refers to your very excellent OOB that's on the download section is it? I recall you mentioning that IBCT was in the making a while back now. If you have a version of IBCT to share, that would be amazing! Christian

    101st BCT organization

    Thanks John. I will be posting my OOBs too when I'm done with it. Nothing big, but can be useful to others. Christian

    101st BCT organization

    Hi, I want to come up with a believable OOB for part of an air assault BCT. The TOE posted on GlobalSecurity.org is out of date. Do you know of a place where I can get a better idea of the composition of, say, the 2BCT (although I'm not picky). I can come up with something by...

    Battle group Pipes

    Frederik, You are right, I re-started the scenario two days ago (I play very slowly). I am halfway through the scenario again, and I get excellent results using smoke and keeping my tanks concentrated. The reason why I get a bit more casualty than you do is because I pop smoke only when...

    Battle group Pipes

    yeah, I thought about this. I'm re-playing the scenario so I'll wait. So far, the old WWII wisdom of concentration of armor is giving spectacular results.

    Battle group Pipes

    In this scenario, OPFOR smuggled almost 1/2 of all its force on this high ground, way out of sight. They flanked my TS sweeping to the north. Because of the poor visibility, this high ground requires to thin even more the scouts if you want to cover everything. Maybe the scenario should be...

    Battle group Pipes

    Situation on contact There you go, it happened very quickly on minute 7. In hindsight, I really should have massed my armor. The 2000m visibility range, although short, did not justify such a broad deployment. By the time I would make contact, I could only return fire with <50% of my direct...

    Battle group Pipes

    Here is an AAR. Enjoy! 20CMBG is required to defend a desert town against three OPFOR tank Bn. The terrain is wide open across a valley approximatively 4km wide, the visibility is down to 2km due to the weather. 20CMBG is made of three tanks squadrons, one Mech Coy, one Anti-armor section...

    PlayerDB and H3 scenario

    Hi, I have the PlayerDB installed, all aircrafts are scrambled if I try to play the scenario that came with H3. Is it normal? Should I re-install the original DB before I load a H3 original scenario or is there a way around this? thanks,

    H3 has Y2K issues?

    Hi, I started a scenario at the default time in 1994, now I want to change this to 2005. I can't get it to reset to anytime passed 31 Dec 1999 23:59:59. Is there are reason why?

    Country linked platforms

    Hermann, I must have lied this afternoon because I already have started adding stuff to the DB, how can I get around to have my entries to be added?

    Country linked platforms

    Oh yeah, although I can see CFB Shearwater from my kitchen window, I will not forget that the east-coast goes all the way there! :halo: If only the canadian navy had a Carrier battle group, sigh.

    Country linked platforms

    Thanks Hermann, I started to work on a Canadian East-Coast setup which I'll fork into a few scenarios (ASW, Disaster relief ops, post-9/11 type scenario), I was a bit bummed out with H3 original's DB which didn't even had the Aurora airplane, nor any of the canadian navy ships (or so it...

    Country linked platforms

    What is the purpose of Linking platforms to countries (I just installed the PlayerDB). Is there a way to limit the choice of platforms in the scenario editor to a country and dates? Or is this information in the DB just as a guideline. BTW, this PlayerDB is amazing, all that I was looking...
