Re: Adding squads to a campaign and reinf

In AF you must have active airlifts landing for supply to happen. If your airlifters are not getting through then your reinforcement will not happen. Also, if enemy troops are too close to the base then reinforcement will not happen either (I think this is all versions of Falcon in this case).

Afraid I have to disagree. Each file:

each contains objectives for that "role" or scenario within themselves. They are indexed against the theater.wch file for unique labels for each objective.

Re: TerrainEditor Utility

Just to add my 2 cents in. Remember that normals for AF are calculated differently than those for OF and FF. In AF the normal values (X3 in TerrainView) range from 0-255 while in OF/FF they range from 0-90. That is why Fred (aka BaldEagle) had to add the functionality to LxNormalFix to do AF terrain.
