"Show Them Fear..." [Mission]

To-Do before 1.0 release:
- fix stuff based on comments

Invaders: Territorial Defense of Montenegro (axis)
Defenders: Croatia (allies)

Important notes:

-As you can see, THIS IS IN EARLY BETA, released now so I can work on the next mission as you all test this and report anything, so please complain a TON in the comments. I am aiming for this to be memorable and replayable at the end of the day, so if anything is off in terms of gameplay, balance, whatever, I want to hear it so I can take a look and make this mission (and all future ones) as great as possible.

-The default bot count is balanced for playing as the Croatians and it is hard (give or take, depending on what mood the AI is in) to the point where you will be punished severely for your mistakes. To change the difficulty, adjust the Montenegrin (Axis) and Croatian (Allies) concurrent count + the ticket multiplier to your liking.

Tips for winning/dying less:

As the Croatians:
- We have nothing…almost nothing…but that’s not to say there aren’t heavier weapons that can hold off the Montenegrins lying around here. Just have to find them…
- Our frontline units have mines and are right at our intended defensive positions. Take command of them and do...whatever it is you do with land mines.

As the Yugoslav Army:

-We are at the very forefront of a lightning-fast invasion, and therefore we will not be getting any reinforcements to complete our objective. If you are going to do anything, do it fast.
- Belgrade has granted us extensive air support to clear the Croatians for every phase of our operation. They might be of use to you.

Possible Questions:

Q: “Why is there so much open space in certain segments?”
A: This is supposed to be really early on in the campaign, on a very open road. Simple enough (the points have enough cover, though. As the Yugoslavs/Montenegrins, well…that’s part of the challenge).


Q: “How historically accurate is this?”
A: The loadouts of the Montenegrins are heavily based off of historical footage of this very campaign, but I unfortunately didn’t have that kind of info available for the Croatians. Their weapons should be appropriate for 1991, though, as I checked and rechecked available info on them extensively.

Q: “Why do the Montenegrins only have WW2 tanks? Didn’t the Yugoslavs have T-55s and T-72s and all that crap?”
A: This part is also based on historical footage. Footage of the Montenegrins shows them exclusively with T-34s, M18s, OT M60s, and TAM 150 trucks. This actually brought an interesting sort of balance that I found out while testing this out: The Lucko ATU radioman’s anti-materiel rifle can penetrate all of these except the T-34. Better remember that before you get too cocky.

(I did push the accuracy a little with the BRDM-2, but you’ll see why I did once you try the mission.)

Q: “Is this balanced for singleplayer/multiplayer/co-op?”
A: It's designed for singleplayer and I obviously can’t test for multiplayer because I barely have any friends, but I am open to any feedback regarding balance changes for multiplayer (assuming you’ve tested it)


Q: "Do I need DLC for this?"
A: Nope! Awesome, isn't it?

Q: "Why is the left side of the map unused?"
A: I tested it really early on with both sides of the map being part of the one mission, but it turns out that waiting for the AI to finish up their side of the phase can get boring so I decided to make that the 2nd mission of this campaign (which I'm currently working on now).


Q: "Holyyyyyy ♥♥♥♥ why I die so much!? How do I kill those stupid planes??!"
A: You will get the means to shoot down the planes at the later phases.
