[Gameplay Bug] Burma-Ledo Road Bug [New]

[kolc]

I was playing the Ledo Road scenario in Burma Road and was only on turn 18. I lost one construction unit and the game ended in defeat. (entire campaign defeat) I saw there was a bug previously identified not sure if this is a new one or I missed the update?

Thanks

Can confirm. Defeat after the loss of one construction unit.

The scenario plays fine as long as NO construction groups are lost:

But when one construction group is destroyed, then the scenario is lost shortly thereafter. Here I took the first construction zone, the construction group spawned, and I left it to its fate which didn't take long:

And as you see, I lost a couple of turns later. This is the culprit:

This trigger is set to fire three times, and each time it increments the Scenario Variable, a counter mechanism, +1. It fires on every Turn Start which means it counts rapidly because there is no Alliance filter on this type of trigger; it counts everybody's turn starts. Most importantly, it's counting the same kill over and over again. When it gets to 3, it activates this trigger which fails both primary objectives; scenario over:

This arrangement works better:

I tested it in the editor, merely placing three construction groups as bait:

One dead, and the secondary objective fails as it should:

Two dead, and I'm still in the running for the primary objective of keeping one alive:

The third one gets hammered:

Thx for reporting (OP), and for the suggestion (Bru).

It looks like a good solution.

My pleasure.

Thanks.

Do I go into the editor to fix this?

[bebro]

I'd recommend to simply proceed by cheatcode when you run into this prob. The next patch will have a fix for this.

[kolc]

Ok. Thanks. Maybe I will go back to the steppes of Russia while awaiting the patch.
