SP:MBT scenario editing help

Hello, i have 2 question for some wise men:

1) how to determine support points in PBEM campaign with human opponent

2) how to create a unit, with specified weapons and cost. (i.e. i would like to make a VIP person with pistols worth 600 points.) any idea?

Hi Chaindler

1. There are a few guys here playing the PBEM campaign. Hopefully they have some ideas.
However, I really think that it is trial and error...it will depend on what era you are playing and how big the battles are and also how many games you wish to play in the campaign.
The nature of the PBEM campaign makes it hard to test without spend a bunch of time.

2. It is possible to do what you wish.
I have forgotten the exact procedure but it is fairly simple to change the stats of a unit.

You should ask these questions at the home of SPCAMO Steel Panthers games.

Also...there is a huge amount of information in the Game Guide that comes with the game.
The answer to question 2 will surely be in there.

Hopefully someone here can help.
I know Weasel and Vesku are playing a campaign.
Narwan and Pyros are great guys for texh info

Good luck

1. You can't. The support points depend on your core points ... or some other formula which I haven't quite figured out yet.

I did a small test and support points are NOT dependent on core points. This formula seems more valid, for first three battles you get 750 pts aux and 1500 pts for battles 4 to 6. I guess someone at Shrapnel knows this for sure so you don't have to go by my guessing :)
