How many men did you lose?
I've never played this from the Rebel side.. in fact, I've never worked for the rebels. The game can be quite unforgiving when it comes to the number of enemies you have to fight. When I have to choose between defending a town against a rebel force with the help of the local garrison and attacking that same town without a rebel force as backup ..
I think my next mission is actually the ambush mission, but from the government side. I usually just dump my sniper in front and have him pick off people, and have the rest support the government. With this outsourced.ini tweak :
Code:
Q10DisableFriendlyFire = "1" //on/off, disable friendly fire for convoy missino reb&gov
It should be a lot easier. If it works.
I remember in vanilla I had to reload about a billion times because I accidentally fired a burst too close to a friendly.. and again.. and again..
If I get a proper strategy worked out, I'll post my AAR. Though I think I'll post my AAR regardless.
