Recon Levels by Sector

[Zoi]

I'm working on Malta again and would like the Italians to have good Intel on Malta itself but no Intel on shipping. Is there and easy way to make this work? I was thinking a neutral spy or something as an Italian spy would just get killed by flak etc.

Hi Zoi,

There is no direct feature for this, but you could write a simple SQL query to set the recon level for every non-naval Allied unit within X metres of the centre of Malta, and run it after each Analyze stage.

Thanks Shades!

Campaigns work well when they are simple but the longer I do this the more tweaking I want to do. Hazards of the I want syndrome I guess.

A way to do this is to initialize the campaign in parts with the recon parameters you are after.

-Build the Island defenses with recon set to start at 50%.
-Save the object mission data file
-flush
-build the aircraft and ships part of the template and start recon at 0%.
-take the data from the saved object mission data and copy and paste it into the existing build

If you log in as the opponent you should see scattered objects on the islands, no aircraft and no ships.

Thanks Brandle

That would be a lot less dangerous than me writing a script Remembering to run a script is also asking a lot of an old man.
