How to get CAS missions in Vietnam campaign?

[+malibu43 142]

Hi all,

 

I have a campaign I've created using the vietnamSEA terrain. I have ground units defined, and air units set to 100% CAS and 0% everything else, yet I still don't get any CAS missions in the campaign. I also have never seen any CAS missions in the stock WOV campaigns. I checked and the movement.ini for vietnamSEA has ground_attack routes defined. More than WOE, actually.

 

So this is where I'm stuck. What do I need to do to get CAS missions to show up in the campaign? Is it something in the targets.ini?

 

Thanks!

 

Also, here is a thread discussing the campaign if anyone is interested...

It seems to me that you only get CAS missions when a ground offensive is in progress. Open your Campaign_data and set the StartGroundOffensive value to '1' (doesn't matter for which side) Doing so will trigger a ground offensive immediately. Bear in mind, though, that with each successful or failed mission (depends on which side is advancing) a node will be lost or taken and the advancing force may get closer to the capital of the other side. Once it's lost the campaign will be over. This means that a Vietnam campaign with a ground offensive could be over after a few missions.

Hmmm... It's set at 100 for both sides right now. I'll try 1 and see if that helps at all...

 

Thanks!

 

*edit* - looks like that could be it. http://bunyap2w1.com/camptut2.htm I'll try it out and see how it goes.
