Played this one recently, nice job. (Spoilers) The two SA-21 batteries were what drove the first hour. I should have evacuated Malbork right away, but it's slow and fussy (launch one, fix altitude, hope you weren't detected, repeat...) so I lost ALL those aircraft to a very effective attack, mostly by the lowly SU-25. I had no idea that cannons could do so much damage to ground installations. In happier matters, none survived to land at Kaliningrad. Chastened by that bad choice, I was saved by the fact that US stealth aircraft are close to invincible. There is a small timing error in the following attack on Poznan-Krzesiny- the fighters arrived soon enough that I could knock them all down and recover before the attack aircraft arrived. None of them went home either. A little fussing with the timing of this attack could make this a game winner for that poor dumb AI. After that, it was routine- F-35's with SDB killed the SAM's, and the rest was easy, Iskanders located and killed, minvic at 19:00 to go, after that it's just pounding a defenceless base, so I bailed. Thank you for this one, please make us some more. Patrick

Were you able to do any editing, or did it crash as soon as you loaded it? Also, was it an original battleset scenario or a user created one?

Next time you are working on the HCDB2, could you look into the range figures of these aircraft? Or, conversely, reduce the range of the F/A 18 family so they correspond better. Thanks. View full record

Will not run with 2015.027.

You're welcome, another in the works. We've been at this for a while now, it seems. Thank you for everything.

View File BBB Bullies Bumping Bellies- Turkey vs Egypt 2020 In the summer of 2020, the situation in eastern Libya deteriorates to the point where Egypt and Turkey feel they have to get involved. This explores what happens next. This scenario is designed primarily to be played from the Blue (Egypt) side, and is quite challenging, even for experienced players. Also can be played from Red (Turkey) quite good for beginning or intermediate players. Created with HCSE 2015.027, and playable on 2015.027 or later, so it'll be available to folks with the older version of the game. Enjoy. Duck. Submitter rainman Submitted 09/08/2020 Category MEDC

will this work with 2015.027?

So, I installed as directed. Now the formation editor does not function. I can move units, but cannot create patrols or change zone sizes. This function works normally in the SE. Any ideas?

Hello, I'm getting ready to upgrade from 2015.027 to the current beta. A few things.. 1) I have several scenarios in progress using the older editor (2015.028). Will these scenarios translate to the new SE? 2) Is it possible to install the upgrade to a new directory, so I can run either the older one or the upgrade independently? I'm sure this is in the wrong thread, as I'm internet challenged. Thanks Patrick

View File Vtank A current affair. Interdict a convoy of Iranian gasoline tankers, or defend it. For RED or BLUE, probably more challenging from the RED side. Some restrictions apply. Submitter rainman Submitted 05/24/2020 Category Caribbean Basin

Glad you liked it. I'll see about making something different. If you like a challenge, play HB4 from the RED side. The short range of the F35 could be looked at in the next DB iteration.

Just added 3 files. "Mar3" is the full scenario, as requested, BLUE only, intended to be a little difficult. "HB4 and 5" are continuations of the "headbutt" series, playable from either side. Enjoy!
