Air support 2
Well you've seen how simple getting spotters at the start is you could also select bombers , transports what ever at the start , but a bomber Harris special at the start can ruin a good game , it's up to you but I like to win those extra's , so now we come to the bit about getting air support from those damn zeppelins . I hope by now you feel confident to open the script box and set it up , no!
Providing you didn't set up any bombers in the player box this will work when the zeppelin group is captured . But you do need to go into players . You can see here that I have got zero bombers showing , well click on bombers an set max size of wing to the number of planes you want to have on winning your flag or flag group , set a time delay if you want after all the enemy become visible so you can grab a few shots with artillery as well .
Now its back to the script box , in the condition box you need to have mission start only , selecting the action menu choose Define air support not the flights of planes , as before when you did the script for your reinforcements choose which zeppelin(s) , if its for a group select as many as you want .
You do how ever have to have the zeppelins on the map if you haven't
you must either only select those that are on the map or after you've set this
up go to markers and put them in . Save your map after doing so . Next
needs no explanation choose the planes you want in this case bombers .
If you intend to give bombers to both sides by easy to get to zeppelins then you have to set this up , in the picture I've set 3 zeppelins on each side of a map and each group will give bombers that way both sides get to use bombers if your map has difficult to capture zeppelins in the middle then you only need to do this once .
Of course you can also have paratroops or transports but then you need to go back to player and set up the same way as you did for bombers . Although these are a little more complicated with the option of more than 1 wave but keep it simple for now and you'll learn as you go .
