Europe Theater situation report for SP!

http://www.pmctactical.org/f4/europe.php

The aim of Europe Theater is the Cold War 1985 scenario(s).

Currently the terrain uses Korean tiles as we have shortage of tile-makers. Its mostly farmland and forest tiled with CATE of course.

UI graphics are from the great F4UT gfx artist Terry, background, theater switcher and campaign selection buttons.

Objectives do not include any NoName's, there are lot of stuff even without them so they have been skipped. Red Dog did fine job weeding out the small airports and now we are looking at 250 or so airbases in the theater. The runway orientations are still default but will be fixed later. All airbases should be background tiled & leveled so there should be no problems for user and UI to takeoff/land.

Objectives (if someone is lost, objectives means the ground stuff, targets, buildings, bridges, airbases etc) are set for Cold War 1985 ownerships.

Falcon database has been edited for 1985 loadouts (well work in progress), so you only get to use stuff that was available in 1985.

Europe installer also includes "Europe Present Day" theater which means the campaigns are compiled with SPx database and all the nice toys you see there can be used.

Currently we have 6 campaigns! yeah, three for 1985 Cold War scenario and three for present day stuff. However the present day still uses 1985 ownerships on objectives so it needs some tweaks.

At the moment work is in progress to calculate the links between the objectives, this is hard work as there are so many of them and it is very slow when tacedit is chirping away in the background threadd. So far the NATO PAK cities are done, meaning not all objectives in NATO territory is linked, but most in the battlefield and all PAK cities. So theoretically we already have scenario where the red forces can occupy NATO PAK citys. We have still much to go with the link drawing.

Some eye candy is also included, new european style skins for aircrafts and ground vehicles.

Hmm thats for starters. More updates when we get more stuff done.

If you need order of battle info for NATO central front I have very detailled information on all forces.. NATO and Warsaw Pact for 1986 including all allocated weapons, strengths, aircraft types and subtypes, AAA and SAM defenses, ECM, Radar Chains, etc..

Also all actual air and ground army and naval force units expected to be engaged in the battle...

[Snake Man]

Absolutely, you cannot bring us too much data

You can email me the stuff, for example if you got lot/some images and cannot web host them. Or you can just post them into this forum if lot text based files.

There is Europe OOB area somewhere hidden in this forum.

All data you can share with us is much appreciated.

OK, its mostly in book form. I will look into scanning it into PDF files by the chapter for you or perhaps locating additional copies of the books. Its very detailled down to battallion levels.

[CAG]

OK, I checked the number of pages...

Its impractical for me to scan into PDFs. Its over 450 pages of information.

I will attempt to locate the referrence books so you can get them directly.

Snake If you need some help tiling I will help if I can.

Snake man, will the 313th, 496th and the 10th
TFS´s be added to Hahn AB ?
This is just a bit of nostalgia for me.
( and the 8,000 personel that were there )
This is in the 1985 campaigns BTW.

Update #1

Drawing last few links to the PAK cities in europe mainland and also patching up the whole FLOT so we can have some ground units fighting hopefully.

Some campaign adjusting for maximum of activity will be done so that we do not run into the same situation as with ODS that players cannot get flights to fly.
