BMS Freezes ending the Campaign
-
I am running Rolling Fire, at day 2 , 11,29 AM, My ground units are close to Seul and 3 units already advanced inside the city,- Pusan, the other city to be captured, has been in my hands since the beggining.
There are missions scheduled for 11,31 and 11,51.- All indicates that I am about to win the campaign, but the problem is that every time the clock reaches 11,30 AM, the game freezes.- I can go back to some saved points, but always freezes when it advances to 11,30.-
My logbook doesnt show a new campaign finished.-
So I am in the situation of almost winning a campaign, but cannot finish it .- -
Upload the file and lets see if we can figure it out.

Which file ?

Do you have a save file? One that you named? It would be a .cam file.

Almost same problem to me: Iron Fortress Campaign, broadcast ceasing fire video and then stalemate time at midnight day 6.
What can I do?
Many thanks -
Iron Fortress Campaign, broadcast ceasing fire video and then stalemate time at midnight day 6.
Iron Fortress is a five-day campaign. If you haven’t won or lost by then, it defaults to a stalemate.
What can I do?
You can start over, or finish more quickly
Seriously though, what you need to do in Iron Fortress (Assuming KTO theater and not Strong DPRK theater?) is concentrate your interdiction and close air support missions on the corridor leading north to Seoul through Osan and Suwon. No progress needs to be made on the central and eastern fronts. Clear the way (use your A-10s!) and take manual control of your ground troops and you can win this one well under the five day limit. Seoul is the only objective in KTO Iron Fortress.

I chose KTO Iron Fortress as my first campaign to test the ‘old style’ challenge rating, set to Ace in this case. KTO Iron Fortress is the easiest stock campaign I’d reckon, so it made a good test.
Using the tactics/strategy I mentioned above, this was the result. I used many aircraft types, but mostly A-10s armed with Mav-Ds, CBU-87 and CBU-97, to fly interdictions ahead of the advance and clear the way. With the old style challenge rating and ground forces set to Ace, the Blue battalions are rather brittle, so it’s imperative to clear the way so that little or no ground combat occurs.
Issuing orders to the ground troops manually, I just sent them in to the breach once it swung open and they followed the two roads leading north to Seoul, capturing the city at 1800 hours, Day 2.

This is my first campaign as well. I too will need to restart and try this out. Looks really cool. The more you play the deeper you go!
How do you issue commands to ground troops? I couldn’t find anything about that? I have seen a video on fragging your own package but nothing with Ground Troops.
Also (not so important, but…) I saw you mentioned the city names of Osan and Suwon. They aren’t listed on the default map. Was wondering if there is a mod with an different/more detailed map?
Thanks

You don’t issue orders to ground troops like you do your flight. You can click on some ground units and a circle will appear which may have a route to their destination if the Ground Tasking Manager has given them an order. You click and hold onto the circle and you can move it to your desired destination for the units. But be aware, it doesn’t always work and the unit may retreat to a Reserve status.
Osan and Suwon are indeed on all Korea maps.
You can find them two different way. Either right click on the map and a drop down will appear, click on Installations and in the drop down select Political. Then right click on the map again and select Names to find them.
Or you can go to OOB(Order of Battle), select the ROK flag, then select Objectives>Political and the city/town/village names list will appear. Scroll down to find what you want, click on it and hit the Find button and it will go right to it on the map!!

this happens whenever I win, because for whatever reason my system won’t launch the intro or victory videos.
