Messiah Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Inspiried by the russian convoy trucks moving to east-ukraine, I created a short mission where need to destroy a truck convoy. but in response to some criticism on that topic I changed the theme. It's a modified version of soviet 10a - you play for the allied side here and must destroy the convoy trucks. If at least one truck makes it through to the other side of the border in the west, the mission will fail. cmu10ea.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 ... I don't think it's a good idea to mix modern politics into your mission making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messiah Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Do not misunderstand this as antirussian/political agitation please! It isn't at all and it should not come across that way! The actual slapstick around this convoy just encouraged me to make a short mission around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimas Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 So, adapt the mission idea to the game universe and explain in the end of the text the correlation to the actual world as the inspiration to make the mission. And you could change the thread's headline, because headlines are naturally biased to be out of context - everybody will misunderstand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messiah Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 I'm disappointed about the negative reaction on this, I didn't expect this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Generally the way to go about these kind of things is to create a scenario very similar without actually referencing to what you are recreating, that way you can have the scenario you want and nobody will care that much.

Chimas Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Nah, never mind, there is no "negative reaction", just suggestions based on experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messiah Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Jacko, it exactly was the main object here to have a direct reference to the real scenario, otherwise the satirical context isn't given anymore. But in the end I can understand that it's going very far to add a scene from a real, actual conflict in a strategy war game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'm disappointed about the negative reaction on this, I didn't expect this. We prefer to stay neutral on such things... there are a couple of Russians who occasionally visit this place, and they might not appreciate it.
