The Third Temple (Part 1 of 7)

Campaign 4 - The War with UBAN

New World Order series

EC2000 MEDC Battleset

 

The war in the Mediterranean theater pitted NATO against UBAN members Syria, Egypt and Libya. Although historically an ally of the US, Israel's participation in the war with UBAN was not one of acting in coalition, but rather in fighting for the survival of the nation. UBAN aggression was further encouraged and supported by the NSC and its client Yugoslavia. (Released November 2000).

 

The war in the Med began with simultaneous attacks by Syria and Egypt upon Israel. Their efforts are not really motivated by fervent Islamic fundamentalism, but rather by a shared historical hatred of the state of Israel. Regardless of the motive, the objective is very clear - the utter destruction of Israel as an independent nation and ally of the US.

I downloaded and tried to run this scenario. I'm currently running HCE which has been updated to the 2009.042 level.

The scenario is run from the EC2000 MEDC battleset.

When I start the scen I check the Order of Battle, like I always do if I have not run a scenario before. The Blue airfields have a lot of aircraft with Attack loadouts. And only a couple of types with Interceptor loadouts. At least 2 of the bases have F-15i aircarft with a loadout of "empty". Empty? I then went to the Ready Air option and the F15is have no loadouts to use. I ran the scen for a few minutes. Reloading some F16s to air-air loadouts. And launching as many planes as I can that had air-to-air missiles loaded, like F-4 with SEAD loadout. The north and south aorbases are getting pounded pretty bad.

 

After saving the game, I went to the scenario editor. To load the user scenario and see if I could fix the loadouts, or else switch the F15i with some other version of an F-15. The scenario gets an annex error and won't load.

 

So something seems to be out of whack on this one. I'm using the standard database for this version of HCE. I have not got into switching databases for some of the scenarios so I usually run scens that say they work for the standard DB.

Any help here ??

I've confirmed your problem. No available loadouts for the F-15I.

 

I am not seeing similar problems with other platforms and with other scenarios in the EC2000 MEDC battleset, though it is possible they are there.

 

I wrote this scenario many moons ago (Autumn 2000, iirc), so it may be that we've lost some tidbit of data in the battleset since then.

And fwiw I fired up HC97 and the F-15I didn't have any loadouts in the MEDC EC2000 battleset there either so it may well be a shortcoming inherent in the battleset from day 1 (I didn't have the patience to fire up Winharp...).

Well it's not that important to run a scenario, thanks for checking on the condition as it shows in the Game Engine.

Any idea on why the Scenario Editor would not load it??
