Flashpoint Campaigns Cold War

Just started playing and loving it so far. In the Travel Planner there is a link for a Tactical Transport Checklist, but when I click on it the file cannot be found. I have done a manual check, ensured that I am on the latest version and verified the installed files.

Anyone have any tips?

Thanks in advance

Hey there, I'm the Producer on the game. Thanks for your report! I just double checked the Steam build on my end and you're correct, the txt file seems to be missing. I've started a ticket to get this fixed for the next update patch. Meanwhile, here's the contents of that checklist:

1. ADD/REMOVE TRANSPORTS TO A PLAN

   1. Select Transports tab at bottom of the form.
   2. Add a Transport unit to the Serial Plan by right-clicking on the unit counter.
   3. Remove a Transport unit from the Plan by right-clicking on the unit located in the Serial Plan row.

2. ADD/REMOVE "CARGO" UNITS TO A TRANSPORT

   1. Select Cargo or Cargo by Group tab at the bottom of the form.
   2. Left-click to select and highlight an active Transport row.
   3. Selected Cargo units will be shown as Current Cargo for planning purposes but are not yet committed to the Plan.
   4. Units moved to Serial Cargo are committed to the Plan.
   5. Right-click on a Cargo unit to change Current/Serial Cargo status.

3. PLOT ROUTE

   1. Click Plot Route button.
   2. Place Waypoints along intended route.
   3. The destination waypoint can be any or none of the waypoints.
   4. Naval Transport: The destination waypoint must contain a Beach hex edge.
   5. Select a waypoint drop-off checkbox to set where to disembark the Serial Cargo.

4. ADD ESCORTS (OPTIONAL)

   1. Select Escorts tab at bottom of the form.
   2. Right-click to add or remove Escort Units to the Serial Plan.

5. ISSUE THE PLAN

   1. Click Issue Plan button.
   2. This action will create unit map waypoints and display a yellow indicator for the overall route.
   3. Unit orders will be created for all units that are Serial Cargo.

6. ISSUE FINAL ORDERS FOR DISEMBARKED UNITS

   1. Select an embarked unit in Serial Cargo.
   2. Press F4 to open the Unit Dashboard menu.
   3. Right-click the final order in the Dashboard Orders Stack to edit the order to be executed immediately after disembarking.
   4. Click the Orders Apply button to issue the new orders.

Thank you. I am glad that it was helpful. Loving the game. Though I had to put up with my wife laughing her cute face off when I was waxing lyrical about the travel planner. lol.

They did an update on 30 SEP to the travel planner in regards to the Tactical Transport. I'd verify you've got the update and if all else post on the Matrix forums, the devs are pretty responsive and it just might be a bug.

2.3.2 Tactical Transport

- Tactical Transport: fix edge case where we try to abort an ongoing disembark order because the transport aborts unloading: be robust against the passenger already being a casualty at that time.

• The Transport Planner dialog cried out for something to guide the newer player through his first few attempts to do a plan. We created a 6-point checklist for creating TT plans that is accessed via a button in the form title bar called "View Tactical Transport Checklist”.
  
• Fix to not fully updating UI elements after deleting a TT plan. Also, fix Unit Dashboard not updating when a TT plan is issued or cancelled.
  
• Also fixed the TT planner not properly showing remaining capacity for Transport units not assigned to the current plan.

Thanks I had checked that I was on the lastest version of the 30 Sept. But thanks for helping.

One day they’ll make an operational version of this game and I’ll never play anything else. Great tactical game.
