Ballistic Addon Studios Update Thread

lol

Aint that the truth.

I have a question that is a bit of topic but im making a campaign using Tonal/bas addons and i was curious, if the U.S  decided that enough was enough and they were going to intervene to stabalise the region, what size force would they dispatch?, is there some kind of doctirine on what size forces to dispatch to a country? or can i just make it all up?

sorry if this is way off topic but i thought you(the BAS team) would know the answer


Thanks

Tim

The Size of the Force is desided on by the allies helping the size of the enemy force. but the US will always try to take control of a airport/runway that can handle landing of c-5's to move in m1a3's.. in the past it would be an marine force landing by sea and or by helo. as well as airborne units of the army. usual SF units will have already landed and set up some kinda post or contacts with locals.
but really situation dictats the size of the force.
but remember the current idea is to use as small as a force as possible.
most likely jsut a few 100 marines to secure a airbase then build up from there.
but you can look over all the FM's at http://www.adtdl.army.mil/atdls.html
you might find something there..
but since somila the US tries to avoid at all costs to go into african conflicts. since it holds no value to them.
the french might try to sablize it since it use to be a french colonaly. but really it is up to you since you are in fact the C&C and are planning the missions.

I believe you mean M1A2, since the A3 is not yet officially in service... (or out of the proving grounds for that matter)

[calm_terror]

yeah i just meant the abrams wichever model number it is now. most people just say m1a1.
but you get the picture.

and i found soem stuff on stablize and support missions.
look around you might find some stuff.

Did, I think Wetwork (or whoever was doing the SEAL's) ever come back??  I think I saw somewhere the SEAL's progress depended upon him.

[BoNeCoLLeCToR]

Got a question I watched the movie Tears Of The Sun are those US guys Seals
If yes a question for BAS would you make Seals like those without helmets and funky haircuts  

[Iwesshome]

Yes... they are US Navy SEALs.

I hope we find out soon  ;D

[BoNeCoLLeCToR]

cool.
if BAS dont plan to make such a Seal team I only need some soldier model with good seal camo texture I can make the funky hair.

[Homefry31464]

It seems that its all gone quiet.  Maybe they are working, or relaxing.  Either way...

[Pathy]

I say leave them in piece to work....personally i find it 10x harder to work with alot of attention focused on what i'm making....BAS are probably more used to it, but its usually the quietest times that are the most productive.

[Grendel]

I agree.  Less time updating a web site means more time spent on the addons.  Remember that old safari/zulu movie with the wardrums?  It was when the wardrum stopped that everyone got really worried...

i got a problem with your uh-60 blackhawks + a custom island!!  :-\

http://www.fileplanet.com/dl.aspx?/planetrainbowsix/atwar/ofp/addons/islands/aec-island.rar

is a pretty cool island that features malden, everon and kolgujev togheter in a island group and each one of those islands where big but togheter you can make a Very big and har fought co-op mission but when i try to adjust the bas_60mapsize = 512 setting and i even put it on 1024 instead of 512 but the radar image in the uh-60 only displays the island that im starting on kind of.. and when im flyng to one of the other islands the display only shows that im outside the radar... i really want help with this, can anyone help me out?

Hi Everyone

I just thought id give a heads up about an Ofpec staff match that im trying to organize for next weekend.

What relevence does it have to this Topic i hear you ask
well the whole match will be based around Tonal island and will use most(if not all) of the BAS addons.
im aiming for a Tonal Defence Force vs Tonal Rebelion Front showdown.

so please all people are welcome, Especialy all the BAS team members.
(After hearing Tigersharks interview at got flashpoint, i think its time the BAS team got to relax and have some fun with their own addons).

so head on over to the comments board and find the thread.
Thanx

Tim
