Help with the mission Trun: Swatting Flies

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

The SCAR file is the code for creating a Company of Heroes mission. Everything that happenes; the KI, weather changes, objectives and every scripted thing, is defined in the SCAR file of a mission. If you know a bit about programming, you can read the file and know which line in the code is responsible for what ingame.

Wow, that sounds fascinating. When i think of SCAR, i think of this:

Where do you learn about programming?

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

I only understand basic things that I learn at school in informatic lessons (if and for loops, integers, blablabla..)
If you want further information about SCAR coding, ask Mystic-Car or walki1.

Anyway, back to topic.

I found a solution to this. It's something I got from a Youtube video. What you have to do is try to built tank traps on the locations where the tanks originally are. Try to built these where the tanks are, and they will move. Keep doing this until all 10 are across the river. Do this before you build your first Flak 36 (I call it 36, not 88 because that's what it is, a Flak 36). Obviously defeat the airborne. If they get Recoiless Rifles, don't worry. Just come before they take out a tank. Put your defenses where the report suggests after the airborne retreat. It will be easier cause you have more land to fall back on, and no more bombings and possibly killing your troops in the process.

Really? I though they were Flak 88s? Isn't that what they are called in-game?

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

It's 88mm FlaK 36 

[pariah]

Oh, O.K.. Thanks. So why do they call them 88s?

[cephalos]

due to it's calliber.

[pariah]

...So do they do that with any other weapons?

[cephalos]

I dunno. I only know the 88s... US 57? I think it's about making it's full name shorter. Flak36 cal 8,8 cm sounds a bit odd when trying to shout it: "James, there is this big ugly Flak36 cal. 8,8cm, let's take it out" while all german at guns were PakXX so they were called paks.

Yeah, it took me so many attempts to get that medal on easy. I think it was the last 1 i got, actually. But then, of course, my pathetic computer decides to lose all my campaign progress.

Why you lose all that stuff? Did you check the savegame folder?

[pariah]

No, i didn't see the point. My computer is barely hanging on by a thread really, so it doesn't surprise me when data goes missing.  But my Company Of Heroes saves don't matter now anyway, because whenever i try to launch the game my P.C. completely locks up, so i don't even bother trying to play it now. Not that it was a pleasant experience gaming before anyway, with the massive laaaaaag on minimum settings.
