New Scenario: "Hold the Line"

[Molon Labe]

My latest is available at Subguru. http://www.subguru.com/DW_missions/4P_HoldtheLine.zip

I decided to try something a little different this time. This is an ASUW mission for blue and fleet protection mission for Red, but success is determined by whether or not the SAG is able to sink a distant target with its SSMs. So, this is also a race against time. The mission was set up for LW/Ami 3.02; using LW/Ami will maximize the performance of the AI helos and will prevent link errors from being a deciding factor in the battle.

This is a complex mission, so I'm looking for feedback in case it needs some tweaking. In particular, I'm interested in whether or not the SSM attack is successful if it happens (if they're firing more than 3 salvoes without getting results, there's a problem. I also hope Blue side can get away with one salvo being fired). Also, I've got some concern about balancing the "set-up" time Blue has with keeping the total mission time relatively short. (Sorry, SeaQueen). Right now, it's expected to run 2.5-3 hours, which is a little on the long side for MP. But, that does not leave much time for Blue to penetrate the screen and engage the target ships. Any information helping me to assess that balance would be very helpful.

Also, if anyone is running LW/Ami 4, I'm concerned that it might not be possible for the Blue side to run their torpedoes far or fast enough to be able to get the kills in time. If anyone is running this with LW/Ami 4, please let me know if torp range was a deciding factor.

Thanks, and enjoy!

Only an MP scenario?

It can be played as either, but my missions are generally intended for MP use. All playable platforms are provided with tactics that will allow them to function as well as they can without humans driving them... including changing depths to scan both sides of the layer.
