Can we enjoy campaign missions as a scenario / PBEM match?

Post by exsonic01 »

I found that many missions in campaigns are quite tempting to play in PBEM++, such as the battle of Bremen or battle for the Rhine river.

But I found that the units for the faction of corresponding campaign are not available after load the file. For example, if you select the 5th mission of American Campaign (Battle of Bremen) in scenario play or PBEM++ match, US only have a bunch of helicopters. That is all. I think this is because the players are supposed to bring "core troops" from the previous mission of the campaign. Only the first missions of each campaigns are allowed to play with 'normal' unit settings in PBEM++ or scenario play. All other missions are not allowed with the "normal" setting.

If I wish to enjoy those campaign missions in PBEM++, what should I need to do? Should I need to go to scenario editor to make a new scenario?

Also, are you guyz have a plan to full-PBEM++-campaign in SS?

Not readily as you are seeing. The linking for core forces does make it difficult. You could basically right down those core forces and make new scenarios for the other campaign scenarios by adding in those missing elements.

We have at least noted the want for PBEM in a campaign. We still need to see and discuss if it is feasible with all the changes and new features. Might be easier or be impossible. Only time will tell. [;)]
OTS is looking forward to Southern Storm getting released!

Thanks to let me know. Glad to hear about full PBEM campaign, but if it is not easy or costly, than I'm ok to neglect it. Meanwhile, if you could provide us the scenario version of some important battle of campaigns in HtoH mode in SS, that would be great. :)
