Well that's nice to know, since the explanation for game mechanics is almost the equivalent of figuring out how voodoo magic works.

It seems option 3 is the clear winner, and I'm about to start playing. The Brock will only be armed with his Walter P99 .40 S&W and some grenades. I'll try not to use the grenades since the Reloaded maps might cause a CtD, but I will leave that option open anyways. We'll see if I can have it ready by tonight, but don't expect it until tomorrow since I'm a bit tired after work and might not have the energy to write things down.
It's been a long time since I did the solo approach, so we'll see how it goes. Might be the end of the LP, so wish me luck:D

Convert glock .40 to glock 35, use the P99 silencer on it. Since we're already pushing The Brock to the limit here, why not equip him to be best you can.

**********************
The team travel to Puerto Viejo to get some extra cash, it'll be needed when recruiting militia.
The Brock loans 500000$, which need to be re-payed in 20 days. The interest is 100000$, typical of banksters, they like to get over-payed. The Brock has no intention of ever paying it back though, hopefully he'll be out of the country before the payment is due.
Alexey Rezvi is still waiting outside the hotel, and now is a good time to activate the original mission, killing Fakirov.
They travel back to the Blue Sun Base and talks to Tang, who gives them the particulars of the next mission.
Poncio have some tools that would normally be of great help.
Off they go, into the neighboring country of Palinero.
The Plan
The team gets into position while The Brock prepares for his assault. He'll first engage the enemy head on, then run in a circle and come up in their rear.
In case something goes horribly wrong, BNC calculates the conditions on the CheyTac ballistic PDA.
Slowmo gets the information and will be ready with the M200.
R@S Note: Notice the bonus Slowmo gets when BNC has calculated the conditions. He'll keep those stats as long as BNC stays near and has the Rangefinder in her hands.
As The Brock moves up the hill, he encounters #1. Four rounds from his P99 takes him out.
The enemy is now aware of his position and advances on him, time to start his run.
He reloads before he starts sneaking up, then takes out #2 with a single shot.
#3 goes down with another shot.
#4 crouches down and The Brock misses several shots. His P99 is running low on bullets so he's forced to pull back and reload before he is spotted.
His second attempt at #4 is not successful either, two rounds hit but doesn't take him down.
The Brock hears movement to his left, and sure enough, #5 is spotted and taken care of.
#4 picks up the dropped weapon and runs for cover.
A bullet flies by, time to displace.
The Brock finds a good position, one where he can get to cover quickly, and still have a good view of the enemy positions. From there he takes out #6, #7 and #8.
#9 reveals his position, and possibly stupidity, by firing wildly at some imaginary threat.
His stupidity is punished.
As The Brock slowly moves forward, #10 and #11 are spotted. He manages to take down #10, but #11 proves more difficult.
He fires the last round in his clip, then as he reloads #11 runs away.
The Brock pursues him, but runs into a surprise, #12 sends some MAC-10 bursts in his direction and he is forced to get into cover.
That's when he spots #13, two rounds does the deed.
The Brock gets lucky when bullets whizzes by. He moves for cover and fills up his clip.
He then sneaks up again and deals with #12.
#14 is spotted and dealt with.
#4, who's retreated to a position in the bushes, spots The Brock and shoots at him. It takes many, many shots to finally bring him down.
#15 is guarding the entrance to the bunker, The Brock manages to sneak up behind him and a couple of rounds takes him out.
#16 prove hard to find, several sweeps of the hill later he is finally spotted. 59 rounds of .40 S&W and the Radio Hill is captured.
The loot is disappointing.
The Brock talks to the Mayor to take control of the sector, then hires some militia to guard it.
The trader appears and the loot is sold.
50000$ worth of militia arrives, hopefully it'll be enough to hold the sector until the team gets back to Tang.
Back at the Blue Sun Base the mission is declared a success. Tang gives them their next target, the Airport in Palinero.

And now you can deploy the L1A1 when neccessary since you've gotten more FAL mags from the OSW. Another possibility for much more fun available there.

I'll play the Airport mission, then HK and Geroj should be ready to join again. They should all have updated inventories since the final missions are all about fire power. We'll have a vote on who's to be on the team, but that'll have to wait until agter the Airport mission. Someone might need some doctoring by then and I don't know who'll be available.

Waladil, the M200 is totally pwning, especially when Slowmo uses it. With BNC as spotter, he gets the very unusual "Perfect" instead of "Outstanding" or "Very Good" when calculating chance to hit. Haven't seen that in a long while, so I had forgot it actually existed
BSM 2.0 will be released Soon-ish, so expect it on Thursday

**********************
The team travel south again, this time to take over the Airfield.
The Plan
Squad 1: The Brock, Reaper and Rob Yu
Squad 2: Slowmo, BNC and Kestrel
The Brock will act as bait and draw the enemy out from the walled off area, fighting inside it in the daylight leaves the team vulnerable. Slowmo, with BNC as spotter, will be able to attack the enemy at their right flank as they advance on Squad 1's position. Kestrel will do a flanking run as usual.
One of the enemies are in view as the team enters the sector, Reaper takes him out with a headshot.
The Brock gets company and kindly shows him to the door.
More enemies are on the way, things might get a bit sticky.
One of them takes a moment to deliver a shot at Reaper, which is a bad move since Slowmo has a bead on him.
Kestrel runs into a flanker, they both fire at the same time. Kestrel takes him out but gets wounded as well. When he uses his medkits it runs out before he manages to stop the bleeding, he needs to find more bandages.
Slowmo takes down another enemy with the CheyTac M200.
One of the enemy has used a small hill and have a good position to lay down some fire on Squad 1. The Brock hits the dirt, giving Reaper a clear shot to take the enemy out.
As Kestrel moves up to check the dead body for a medkit, he spots another enemy. He quickly draws his sidearm and takes him down.
He then checks out the first dead body, but no luck.
Reaper gets hit in the head, the helmet saves his life, taking most of the damage. Rob Yu will have to help patch him up.
Kestrel goes to check out the second dead body, he's still bleeding and need to find some bandages soon, or pull back and gets some medical attention from BNC.
Slowmo sweeps his scope across and discovers another enemy.
Even when stripped down, Kestrel still can't find any medkit.
Rob Yu will advance, presenting the enemies with a nice big target. The Brock and Kestrel will use that distraction to take the enemy out.
The Brock manages to take one of the enemies out with a couple of bursts.
The second enemy hears Kestrel and starts moving towards him. The Brock uses that to take him out.
As Rob Yu moves up,a prone enemy takes a shot at him but misses.
Kestrel takes him out.
One enemy has managed tp phase through the wall and appears behind Kestrel.
Another enemy has managed to move behind Kestrel and surprises Slowmo. Since the CheyTac M200 has a limited supply of ammo, he switches to his sidearm and takes him out.
Kestrel finolly get some medical attention from Rob Yu.
As The Brock moves through the gate he spots the final enemy.
The loot was pretty much the same as in the Radio Hill encounter. They did however find an RPG-7 in one of the crates.
The Mayor agrees to the new management.
And the trader buys the loot.
This time the team spends 70000$ on some militia, they also spend some money on reinforcing the Radio Hill.
Back at the Blue Sun Base Tang gives them their reward, 20000$.
Then back to the Army Base, Geroj and HK are now fit for duty.
We have many options for team composition, who should be part of the assault on the Fuel Compound?

Great LP.
Anyway, installing this mod is a real pita. Someone please post a decent install how to for Win7 x64. I reinstalled an english 7.62 onto my e: partition but then I fail at patching to 1.06.
patchme.bat tells me it can't find some files in windows/system32
directory.a, files.a, azp.exe
How do I make this thing work?

If you got 7.62 HC from Gamersgate, no further patching is required for you to install BSM. That's how nice the folks at GG are.

It doesnt seem to work properly. Stats are adjusted (everyone 30exp), portrait is still the same (I use Ivanov), I can't choose special class and I can't seem to use the car that one is supposed to get(?) at the beginning. I can just access the inventory of the car for some ammo and a pistol.
I use the bsm.exe obv, the regular e6.exe will just crash with the mod installed
If the gamersgate version will work flawlessly I'll buy that for a dollar but maybe there is some other issue? Don't want to throw money out the window.
Also, is it still necessary to make some folders read only?

Oh, R@S edited stats for BSM since you have RPG style leveling to make the pace faster than vanilla. The car comes with your first free hired merc and you don't get a car in the beginning. The only thing I can see that's amiss is the lack of class specialization in the beginning. Any ideas R@S?
Thor Kaufman

The starting mercs are not supposed to have custom portraits, either? This way it just seems like only a few files have been replaced, like a broken mod that's just half installed.
btw is it normal that gamersgate is being such a bitch? didnt even get a confirmation email yet. Any other 7.62 version that's definitely going to work out of the box?
