KTO-Rolling Fire-ground forces not advancing much for 4 days
-
no red ground forces to slow them down and no red aircraft flying. A few blue units moved up towards Pingpong now have barely moved. Difficult to find any targets to hit. Victory conditions state take Pyongyang and it’s wide open yet ground forces are not moving as they would do in r/l for days.

Perhaps it is a glitch ? i’m not sure. One thing you can do is click on ground units and you can assign waypoints for them although i think you can only assign one at a time but you can move them to where you want and it will auto adjust the path that it takes according to the type of vehicle it is. I know there’s a lot of ground forces but if this is a glitch then it might be the only way around it. Also i can’t be certain but have you let the HQ deal with mission assignment and PAKs? or are you doing it yourself? I don’t think this should affect ground forces but if you have set that option to off then maybe you want to try to turn it on. Lastly just because you can’t see something on map doesn’t mean it isn’t there. What is on the map is directly observed either my some sort of sensor or visually or reported in

I don’t think the ability to move ground forces manually is modelled in BMS. The ATO only controls the airwar also I am sure. 2 units moved to Hwangju (just south of Pingpong), captured it, opening an unopposed route into the capital yet instead moved northeast and around the capital (the goal) then stopped. One blue unit (see map) moved up to east of the capital and has been sitting there for days while the vast bulk of my forces sit down south and also NNW of Wonsan. There are no red forces anywhere except a few trucks at sam sites. I have shut down all red airbases successfully since day 3. I am trying to understand why this is happening and not sure if anyone knows hence just reporting this to see if anyone else is having a similar experience. Basically the ground war is not progressing. I didn’t destroy any bridges either. I have served in 2 mechanized infantry battalions (one in Korea) and micromanaging this campaign.
Where is Patton when I need him? -

i’m not sure why then. As far as i’ve tried i can select a ground unit and move its current waypoint. but as i said it should be automatic. maybe this is just a glitch or they just got stuck on a command and haven’t been issued any others… Sorry i can’t help you man. If you do find out what it was please post it here i’m interested to know. Till then i’ll look around too and let you know if i find anything.

Or maybe air-mobile a unit into Pyongyang.

great help brother!
@fearless1:I just remember having read about this issue here…
Post #42 might be what you are looking for.

The ground war has now progressed quickly
It looks like a full occupation is required to achieve victory or maybe just every inch of pingpong. I have a division worth of battalions now inside the capital now performing RPP missions unopposed.

i should have read this post earlier~ Darn my IF cam ends on Day 5, peace statement!!

You interrupted the big soiree your ground forces were having, which is why they didn’t move until you ordered them to!
Post a pic of the final victory when it happens.

Not sure what I am missing as Wonsan and Pingpong are occupied. The reds have no fighting units, no aircraft up for days and nothing to stop blue advance. Once I took control the blue moved quickly. I guess there is one key town or bridge I have to take then I will get the V.

DAY 8-another day and more consolidating. A few red airstrips apparently became active though no red aircraft icons visible on planning maps and in intel section they are bombing blue ground units but that’s maybe because most awacs flights have stopped and tasking them is not working meaning without an awacs up ID of red aircraft basically ceases. The reds continue to repair airbases and airstrips in a vain attempt to hit blue forces while town after town is taken and still unsure why I haven’t yet achieved the victory:
It must be that either all targets in specific PAK’s must be captured (turned blue) including political sites or something else I haven’t yet figured out. Looking at that map the war is over yet they have not yet surrendered. tick tock…

I think you missed an important deadline while your troops were partying. Load the latest campaign save file of the day for day 5 then check to see if you had retaken Seoul by then. Post a screen shot of the map/intel for that day.

Never lost Seoul. This campaign starts alond curent dmz.
-
Sure you aren’t playing Rolling Fire campaign then?
F1
-
Yes it’s KTO Rolling Fire
START:NOW:
So it looks like I need to push west and southwest of Pingpong.
-
10-4! Perhaps another day or two of fighting.
Recommend you save your campaigns a lot more too, perhaps after every sortie as a safeguard against a corrupted campaign file and/or inflight system crash.

adding political to the map shows a few red such targets hence I guess I have to make them blue also inside the greater Pingpong area. It’s a pain in the ass as in the past entering the capital gave me victory but wtf I must see this thru. Strange my ground units close to a few red airbases for 2 days have not have not moved the last few yards to occupy the targets. Red helos have reappeared and I am hitting them having to task sweeps etc and oca strikes constantly. Lots of work I must say.
-
Recommend you get South Pingpong (as you say ;)) and the bridge connecting it to the north side of town. This is the moment when my campaign ended near the end of day 7.
Here are the results, and I didn’t stretch out as far as you have.
East Pingpong was taken first by the USMC, from the northeast road, and ROK forces moved up from the south to take South Pingpong and S. Pingpong bridge.
HTH…
