Long time no see , many things have changed since you leftbut a lot of them stay the same.
I´ll test it today and i´ll give you a complete report.
Again, good to have you again with us

[GW]

it is very hard mission guys,plan your strategy at best.

you will never know who hit you in starting of mission.

[OFP_f3d3]

Hi, i ll share a good version of this missions as it shows an error at the beginning.

The error is with SoldierE.. something

Change them to normal soldiers.

Well, very simple mission, very simple briefing and debriefing.

A good intro explaining the actual situation and why did you have to retreat to that position.

Also a good outro that shows your counter-attack.

cheers

@GW - there's a reason there's no "quote" button on the most recent post in a thread: there's no point quoting the post you're replying to. Please read the forum guidelines if you need reminding.

@bedges - sorry mate, i visit forum after a long period, thanks for reminding

I'm getting an error that I am missing an addon called "groups". Afraid I've never seen that one before. Won't let me play the mission.

[Denz]

Wow haven't seen that error for a long time. It comes from having addons with screwed up configs loaded at the time the mission was saved. Even though no addons were used for the mission it still affects the mission.sqm.
You will need to edit the mission.sqm and delete the word "groups" from the addon and auto addon sections to fix it.

[savedbygrace]

Just wanted to make him aware of it so HE could fix it before he uploads another version. Thanks for that clarification Denz.

[savedbygrace]

Are we working on a fixed version of this one?

[GW]

error removed and a new version is uploaded

hope for a review

will work on underfire and patrolling party mission too.

[savedbygrace]

Can't recall if I told you through PM or not but the error still prevents me from play testing this one.

[mathias_eichinger]

Oho, old topic but no proper beta test? Well, here's one:

Overview

Could be improved on by adding a picture and putting the text below the picture.

Intro

Did not see one, but maybe that's the cause of the "SoldierESaboteur" error I am getting.

Briefing

It told me all I needed to know since the mission was not THAT complicated. Weapons selection was nice and useable

Mission

The name really gave credit to the mission since it started in some high hills... some Resistance fighters manning an outpost of several ammo boxes, a medic tent, and trucks as well as UAZ's (how did the cars go up there?).
Relatively fast, waves upon waves of enemies were closing in from the directions given in the briefing and only constant firing and squad management did the trick. As you say, the mission is very hard.

After the fighting died down, I noticed that the many ammo boxes did ot contain any ammo for the Remington I was using (or for AK's, for the record). A whole bunch of mines is quite useless against an infantry assault.
Neither did the cars contain any ammo.

As I ventured out from behind the medic tent, I spotted at least a full squad of stragglers down in the valley which I had to pick carefully one by one with a captured AK. Only when I hit the very last of them did the mission end.

Outro

Just a short zoom around your defence site.

Overall

Very challenging shoot-em-up-type mission which is fun but has some area so improve (see Recommendations).

Recommendations
* Add a picture to the overview
* Search your mission.sqm for the SoldierE... and remove it. Then save your mission.
* Cars could be deleted, seem to be out of place
* Ammoboxes need the ammo for the weapons you provide in the weapons selection (I guess these are just different ammo boxes, available in the mission editor)
*Enemy stragglers should either attack or better still left out (mission is already hard enough).

Downloaded the most recent and am still having a problem with the group error not letting the mission load. Can you please look into this?
