[SiB] Vanguard

NOT IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER AT THE TIME OF RELEASE. IF YOU WANT TO PLAY THIS MISSION IN THE INTENDED ORDER, WAIT TO PLAY IT UNTIL AFTER PRIMEVAN SPRING HAS BEEN RELEASED.

Launch a surprise attack against Boscali from aboard a Primevan carrier sent to clear the way for a coming invasion force, while facing off against increasing numbers of BDF aircraft as time progresses.

Focusing on team communication, coordination, and airframe preservation, Vanguard seeks to create an enjoyable experience for those wishing to have an in-depth coordinated mission in Nuclear Option.

Chronologically the 4th mission in the Spring in Boscali series, Vanguard has been released out of its intended order (3rd mission instead of 4th, at the time of writing) while I wait for Primevan Spring to be released when 0.31 is finished. If you want to play the series in its true intended order, it might be best to wait until that mission is out before trying this one. But for those who have asked me for more SiB content and wondering when the next mission is coming (you know who you are!), you might enjoy getting a peek at what's to come for the series.

From this point on, I'm going to be including the intended play order of each mission here on the workshop (and maybe in the in-game descriptions too if people still end up asking me about it), and I'll be going back and doing this for each of my previous missions. At the time of writing, most of these are unreleased, but expect to see them at some point in the future. These missions are big, lengthy projects that I do on my free time, so it'll definitely be a while before the series is finished.

Intended Play Order:
Naval Skirmish > Breakthrough > Primevan Spring (currently unreleased) > Vanguard > Dawn (currently unreleased) > Dusk (currently unreleased) > Counterforce (currently unreleased) > Inferno (currently unreleased) > Midnight (currently unreleased)


Weather transitions are, again, not very smooth, but this is a game issue and not something I can solve at the moment.

Ship pathfinding can be... Questionable, but this is another game issue that will hopefully be fixed in 0.31. Expect your ships to possibly disregard orders and/or beach themselves.

Agrapol Airbase is not set to be neutral after being destroyed as intended, this is a bug with 0.31 and not something I can solve until the devs fix it.
