Scenario Preview: Sword Point

[Grothgar]

Thanks for all the help with the game crashing i fixed it and now i can bring you a preview which i was intending to do anyway.

As F-14 Tomcats, F-15E Eagles and F-16 Falcons launched from the USS Lincoln Pound the Defenses Near Bandare Abbas in southern Iran, the USMC and the US Army with token British Support send in their forces to establish a beachead. Will the Iranian Forces already embroiled in a war on two fronts against Iraq and The USSR be able to cope with this third front? Only time will tell

I see a nifty MRLS unit there. Why are there not more roads? I know it's not the most developed place, but what scale is the map, I think there should be more road...

[Masis]

Cities?

Where are the neighbouring cities of the region?

[Grothgar]

For those wondering about the cities. Here they are. This is quite a large scale of map so the cities are spread out rather a lot. Also some areas of iran arnt exactly the most poulated places on earth.

Anyway

[Grothgar]

The MLRS unit is Jimmywax's unit painted yellow

[Masis]

Countries?

Is Syria, Turkey, Jordan or Pakistan featured in the scenario-looking at the map there is plenty room for these scenario-relevent nations to be placed into.

[Grothgar]

I was thinking of including syria as a Barbarian Civ but the others wont be in this scen because it is based on a book and they pay no part in it thus no reason to include them

[Cal]

well... there's historical accuracy, you could give them all units with move=0 stats, and then ally them with everyone to prevent them from doing anything.
If you could spare the civ slots, anyway.

Last post here for now...

I must tell you that the terms for Kuwait are Kuwait/Kuwaiti. Kuwaiti is the term that should be used not 'Kuwait' Map. Thats all I can find incorrect with it at the moment.

[Jimmywax]

About how close are you to being done. Are there any more units your needing.

[Grothgar]

well as long as your offering jimmywax ill take you up on the offer

I could really do with:
a ZSU-23-4AA (or ZSU for short lol)
a T-80 seeing as i dont think there is a T-80 out there yet. At the mo im using a recoloured T-72 which really isnt what i want to do

Thats about it i think i have scrounged just about all your units lol

Dont worry youll get credits in the readme

[Grothgar]

heres another preview but i wont be working on it for about a week now. EXAMS!!!!

But anyway ill give you another preview.

At the start of the conflict the russian juggernaut gets going with much anger from the populace. The russian airforce gains complete superiority over the Iranians out of date equipment but the Iranians have a surprise in store for the russians...

[Jimmywax]

I will see what I can do. What is the ZSU though, anti-aircraft?

[Paul Hanson]

Yes, it is.

And since you`re here, do you think you could draw me a Jaguar and an E-2 Hawkeye?

[ravagon]

Looks great.
Is this in any way related to the book "Sword Point" (Harold Coyle I think?).
