You mean those 3 Tu-22Ms were not supposed to be there??

Anyhow, bigger problem is that the bloody Tupolevs pretty much warped into you with no advance warning whatsoever. That's always sort of cheap. What's the CAP supposed to be doing? Impressing Iceland blond ladies?

No, I mean if the Doolittle strike had failed, you would see even MORE Backfires! :/\!!

I had to 'warp' the Backfires where I did because the AI isn't smart enough to know Shipwrecks can't fly through mountains.

Thus, I have the Backfires 'popping up' over a ridgeline. Think of it as them having used terrain masking to sneak up on the invasion force.

M'kay guys. I'm blind or sth like that, i can't find rsr campaign. Please help :]

Bill Nichols · 04-09-06, 08:58 AM

I have temporarily pulled the RSR campaign (and all of my other DW missions) off of my site. Reason: They are being included as part of the 'extra content' of the Black Bean Games European release of Dangerous Waters.

Bill,could you adapt this campaign for SC?

Hmmm.. going backwards? Would have to eliminate the FFG, P-3 and H-60 playable scenarios. Also would be nice if there were an 'export' utility similar to DW's 'import', to convert _from_ DW to SC :hmm:

Linton · 04-12-06, 03:28 PM

Bill,obviously with a re-engineer to SC you would only be dealing with submarines,so that should cut down the work a bit.perhaps just using the mission location ,and objectives would be good enough.

Sgian Dubh · 04-13-06, 11:33 PM

I realise that I overlook things sometimes, but I cannot find the RSR campaign on the downloads page.

I have looked through the list a number of times and I am just missing it I guess.

Edit: Having now looked up a few posts, I see why I can't find them on the downloads page. Bummer. I was looking forward to them and I had your other scenarios for SC.

Bill,
Any word on if/when you will reupload it? Having just read the book for the fifth time (one of my favorites) I had a hankering to load up all my sims, and seeing the forum for this campaign gave me such hope for some playable RSR bliss. Thanks.

OneShot · 04-29-06, 11:44 AM

You can find a slightly older version (don't know whats the difference to his last) over at the CADC in the downloads section.

ronhui · 07-22-06, 06:29 AM

Hi Bill,

Any ETA known of the After action report for the 4th mission, the Red Sky mission?

Need some small hints on how to proceed and master the DW game.

Thanks!

Deathblow · 05-01-06, 04:09 PM

Hi Bill, quick question. Is there a reason that most of the FFG campaigns only have one helo instead of two? Losing that thing is worst than losing your right arm! I can't remember what the book mentioned about the RJs helo loadout.

2. Know any other good books that could be suitable campaigns?

OneShot · 05-02-06, 02:43 AM

As mentioned in some other thread, the following books could be good for an interesting campaign :

- Debt of Honor
- Executive Orders
- The Bear and the Dragon

all written by Tom Clancy. Those three books have one common thread and thats Chinas interest in expanding to their west (ie Sibiria). Tho thats only real visible in TBTD. To further their goal they make up a coalition with India, Japan and Iran. In the first book its Japan vs. US with India & China on the sidelines passively supporting Japans actions with some of their own. In the 2nd book its UIR (Iran/Iraq after Hussein was assasinated and Iraq assimilated by Iran into the UIR) vs US again with India and China on the sidelines. Tho this time Japan helps the US. And in the 3rd book its US & Russia vs China in the attempt to prevent China from taking Sibiria and the natural resources recently found there (huge amounts of gold, oil and other things).

There are some interesting mission in that, for example a SSN (or was it SSBN) playing Gasstation for some Army Comanches on a Special Ops mission.

Deathblow · 05-05-06, 05:35 PM

Might I make a suggestion on mission "Nordic Hammer"? Perhaps some of the flight schedules readiness for the various destroyers/cruisers should be cut back to alert status 15 and alert status 30 instead of alert status 5. Otherwise every ship has the ability to launch helos at you in no time flat. I did a truth on a mission that I was sunk, and I had 6 helos circling above me.... six....

Is it really possible for an aircraft to stay at alert status five indefinantly while in transit?

EDIT.

Ok... I've realized what really going on. Its not that the game is freezing, its just screeching to a ultra slow halt for some reason. I once experienced the freeze (it happens with the last Kilo spawns) and the game stops. I've distressed again, so go to grab some food. I come back after about 15min and although the game is still frozen, I can see that its moved ahead just a tad albeit slow. So what I do is "pause" the game and go to the pause menu and after about another 10min the game free's up again. I'm not sure what's going on but a least its a relief to know the goal is achievable.

EDIT2

However, I've run into another problem. The goal trigger, Providence reaches the ice, but Buffalo was sunk, won't fire because even though the Buffalo is at 100% damage sitting at the bottom of the ocean its "dead platform" is still there and won't unspawn (like most dead platforms do when after a while they dissappear). The dead buffalo still persist through game-saves and never unspawns and no its not a "show dead platforms" options from the options menu... that option has been off and the other dead platforms have disappeared...all except Buffalo for some reason... and because of that the goal trigger won't fire... very bizarre. *sigh*
Will try to work out the causes eventually, but man that was a lot of work just to end up with a broken trigger.

K, Red Storm Rising is one of my favourite books of all time, especially the naval aspect, so im dying to play this, problem is, I cant download it from the internet cause its in the European Release, and im not shellin out more money for the European edition. Is there a hope in hell that we will be able to download this again?
