Where is the Outpost?

Post by IronFist00 »

In the Operation Barbarossa campaign, specifically the "Theirs Are Bigger Than Ours" mission, where us the Outpost located? My friend and I have played this mission cooperatively twice and can't find it. The achievement "Destroy the Outpost" remains the only one uncompleted. For the life of us, we can't find it.

To elaborate, we've accomplished all the Objectives and all the other Achievements, had a few units suppressed in the town to the East with the intent to kill them, got offered the option to continue the mission because we completed all the Objectives, I (as the first player) chose to continue, then we got the "Objective Completed" dialog and the game ended. I'm not sure why it ended even though the last Achievement wasn't complete, we had 14 turns left. I've attached a screen of the last completed turn.

Any help would be appreciated.

Update to this, we found where the Outpost was so that's been solved. However any idea on why the game was still ending even when there were 14 turns left and continue was chosen?

No idea. But it's on the bug list and someone cleverer than me will find out

Thanks for the reply twoeyes; I am glad it is already on the bug list. Something else my friend and I have notice, and it might or might not be a bug, is if you complete all the Objectives and choose to end the game, you don't get awarded any Achievements that were completed. However if you choose to extend the game and play it out until either the last turn or until you do accomplish all the Achievements, then you get credit for any you finished. Is that working as intended or a bug?

For example there are two Objectives and three Achievements in a campaign mission. With 10 turns left you complete both Objectives and 1 Achievement. The mission asks if you want to end the game or continue. If you choose to end the game, you get none of the Achievements, in this case even the single one you did do. However if you choose to continue to play until the turn limit or completion of all the Achievements, when the mission ends you get credit for whichever of them you completed.

I would think if you did choose to end the game upon completion of all Objectives you should get credit for whatever Achievements you had completed up until that point. We saw this in Barbarossa campaign in missions "Near Disaster" specifically with the Achievement "Win without losing more than 20 units" and mission "The Pocket" with the Achievement "Destroy 45 units."

Hmm I'm not sure - those things should be checked off as they are achieved, rather than at the end. I'll add that to the list.

Cool, thanks. To clarify Achievements are checked off as accomplished in game. It is when the game ends on the score screen you don't see the star with the check mark acknowledging it was completed. To confirm I exited and went back to the campaign and it showed it incomplete.
