Need help with where to place units

[Acoustic]

A russian force that is "Not well equipped" is in control of a city. I really need suggestions on where to place these units that will make them the most effective, realistic, and most enjoyable. I am using a patrol script as well so I need suggestions on what areas to patrol as well. Attackers push from the right.

I have also thought about using a program that generate random enemies (specified to some extent) in a certain area to give randomness to the mission.

If you're looking for a generic solution, I think the UPSMON scripts are a good start: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=91696.

If you post up what units are available to the Ruskies, it would help.

I would have thought if they don't know what direction to expect attack, then they would have heavy weapons on vantage points covering the main approaches to the west and east. Any high spots (towers etc) could have a spotter/marksman if available. If artillery/mortars are available then put it near the town in a sandbagged area, away from the woodland - could put them in a depression and use a Forward Observer script. Tanks/APC's would be best away from any large structures.

Maybe they've mined the roads in or placed tank traps/obstructions). Also, put a squad or two patrolling the woods to the north and south.


You could use random spawn points for the more static units to mix it up.
