RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - 1.23 UPDATE - Compass Rose - 10-25-2022 RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - 1.23 UPDATE - Sean - 10-31-2022 Yet to buy game ,but Have a question. I enjoy the Random Battle Generator in CSME , Is the Random Battle Generator. present in the Vietnam Game? RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - 1.23 UPDATE - Jason Petho - 10-31-2022 No, there is no longer a battle generator in CSVN.  It does have all the editors, as usual though, plus a folder full of master maps of various areas in South Vietnam.  Also a load of historical OOB's.  So building a scenario is quite easy. RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - 1.23 UPDATE - Sean - 10-31-2022 I am still interested in the game, Sorry for harping on the Issue, But is the Random Battle Generator still on the cards for a future update? It really adds to the gameplay in other titles. RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - 1.23 UPDATE - Jason Petho - 10-31-2022 Unfortunately, probably not. No.  Due to the nature of the scripting and the impossible nature of automatically scripting the AI, it is unlikely the random battle generator will be included in the future. RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - 1.23 UPDATE - Sean - 10-31-2022 Thanks for reply. I have been making a Vietnam Mod for a different game recently , see https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2880070195 A random Battle Generator is available in that game ,Hex of Steel. It got me thinking ,the Vietnam Theatre can be a bit of fun. So I came back to the Blitz to investigate the CS Vietnam Game again. I will buy the CS Vietnam game soon. RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - 1.23 UPDATE - Jason Petho - 10-31-2022 Let me know when you do and I can take you through the ins and outs of making scenarios.  Or modding even.  You can mod nearly everything in the game.  Thank you for your interest! RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - 1.23 UPDATE - Sean - 10-31-2022 There is a 10% discount at the moment for CSV at Matrix Site. How can I use my email subscription extra discount there? What code do I input in "Discount Code" box? I worked it out ,I had to subscribe to Slitherine as well as Matrix,then I got a 1 time code sent to my email. With my purchase of CSME already I got a really good price on the new CSV game. Downloaded game now. Might take me a while to get into it ,but at least I have purchased the game now. RE: Campaign Series Vietnam - 1.23 UPDATE - Jason Petho - 11-01-2022 Thank you so much, Barly! Let me know if you have any questions, definitely happy to help!
