Adding the victory conditions text to the briefing?
Posted: Tue May 07, 2013 1:24 pm
We can by now review the scenario briefing with CTRL+M, "show messages".
This is often very helpful and was a requested feature.
But to see the victory conditions I often nevertheless reload the scenario to get to know what exactly I am supposed to do.
My suggestion is to add victory conditions like
Triumph: Kill all eighty-eights in blocking screen and at least 3 units from 150th Brigade should hold their position in area marked B.
Victory: Kill all eighty-eights in blocking screen.
to the briefing in bold letters, at the end of the briefing.
This would look like this, example the "Cauldron" scenario:
Rommel has come a long way since we ran him all the way back to El Agheila. But now he’s in a tight spot. He’s swept around the southern flank of our Gazala Line but the Italian failure to take Bir Hacheim has made his supply situation desperate. He’s been forced to re-deploy into an area they’re calling the Cauldron. Unless he smashes through the fortified box held by our 150th Brigade and he cannot resupply adequately and he’ll find himself trapped behind our line. Your task is to ensure that at least 3 units of the 150th Brigade survive in the box marked as B on your map. Counterattack toward them with your armor -- but first, you must destroy the anti-tank shield Rommel has erected!

). If they are clearly stated in the mission briefing that will work easily by using the "message"-window.
