cheap squads

Post by joekidds » 2004-05-13 23:01:41

well in certain missions that i have played like leisure lamentin and threesome sometime the squad that is supposed to take over a town or clear this area gets killed off. so in threesome after my whole squad was wiped out i had to take the town that was past the hill. and in lamentin i had to clear the area by myself and take lamentin with the remains of my squad since the paratroopers never came.

Does this happen every time you play it with the paratroopers?

never had a paratrooper problem, you did? issue the radio call right? This mission is a very good one but plays very differently each time according to what you do first. The 2nd squad inevitably takes one age and a half to catch up with you at the rendevous point eg. One 'trick' for the town is to get the enemy soldiers to come after you, this lessens the odds later when you do, in fact attack.

yes, the chopper is a bug, but, you can safely disembark the squad when it settles for a 2nd time.

not sure if you think this is a bug, or what? threesome plays _very_ differently according to the speed of your cpu, and, whether you have the ai turned up or not in the config settings. There are, in fact, two support squads, one 'assists' you in the first town (and generally gets swiped), the 2nd is for the lower town and they come up from the south. It's an even call whether they get knocked off or not, but you attacking from the north, real quick, evens it up.

if these squads do get knocked out, then you have an extra battle to fight with retreating enemy from the southern forest.

Try different tactics. Go west eg and clean out the small village after you get the first town. The scenario is very fluid, different things happen according how you approach the map.
