Again, thank you for the help gentlemen.
I've run into an issue. Please keep in mind that it's been years since I've played the original title.
I just cleared the airbase. It is Day 3. I placed an order for supplies from Bobby Ray's with overnight delivery prior to even starting Mission 1 at sector A9.
Prior to creating my first avatar, I also disabled Pablo's ability to steal shipments.
So I've scoured the airbase. Spoke to everyone there, including Pablo. Checked every crate, and even the two large dumpsters. I can't locate the order that I made from three days prior.
To be clear, I *did* place the order via Bobby Ray's, the purchase price WAS removed from my starting pool of money. That said, checking my emails, I have not yet received a "Your order shipped" message from Bobby Ray's, nor have I received any further communication from BR's.
Any advice?

According to similar experience in game a long time ago, followed by various related checks,
shipments get lost if Drassen Airport (respectively sector set as destination for cargo with a corresponding container)
is occupied by enemies at the moment the shipment arrives.
Shipments ordered to sector not under control will not vanish if that sector is taken before the shipment arrives.
(iirc it will vanish if battle is still going at arrival time, so in case use "forced turn mode" at Xh59min to literally stop time progression)
Just reconfirmed in a 1.13 7516 UC install where the H&K 23e did not show up in the crate of sector A9 Atremo,
and the entry in BRs "shipments" list just disappeared.
Btw, in opposition to usual BR orders (so I assume its related to delivery in not controlled sector)
the game even asked me whether I really want to select Atremo as shipment destination,
but that could ofc be an UC specific thing.

@Cerhio,
you will know this?
Well, my ranking (Excel!!!) is: Ilya (75,66), Miguel (70,78), Babyface (68,96), Terry (63,99). A little better than Terry is Carmen (64,72). But he is very hard to get.
My merc: Ever Grandee (75,18), health 85, agility 85, wisdom 83 and markmanship 99 and he hits indead. The best miners are Fred (60,19) and Matt (59,67).

No Idea how to post spoilers, so please be careful:
Conquering former Alma, I read that I should meet an RPC (Eagle?) in H13.
In my game I found there the general and the seargent who gave me the rocket rifle. But no RPC.
The fight was at night, I searched the building before enemies became aware to my presence.
No trace of another RPC. Is he somewhere else?
Thx
Marsmann

Looks like the Spoiler function went walkabout on this forum, I can't see the button anymore.
Must admit that i never noticed a button for that,
btw such buttons and also links may appear convenient
but they certainly do no contribute to keep the brain activity at the minimum required to prevent the degeneration of its functionality.
As a famous french philosopher so aptly remarked: "Fatigue is the most dangerous of enemies." ;)
However, check the spoiler how to create spoilers manually ;)
Toggle Spoiler Type [spoiler]place the text to be hidden here[/spoiler] ,
optionally hit the " BBcode is on" link left of the editors txt input box to get the syntax for all available bbcode.
Note the link is not available on topic page for quick replies, only in full editor/for preview!

I seem to be finding a lot of belts...but cannot for the life me figure out how to equip them.
EDIT: Figured it out. So used to using the combat pack, never would have thought I need to unequip both parts of the TIMS pack.

Hi there. Just a question about Dr. Koolhans. All I get from him is "We must watch our step". I can't seem to figure out how to get him to heal my mercs. I've given him money ($500, maybe I haven't given him enough?) and I've tried to give him various items. I've tried running around the sector with a metal detector looking for mines (from the "watch our step" comment). I'm just looking for a hint. Thanks in advance!

For Jerry: I moved on the northern edge of the map to the east and set my troops at the north eastern corner. Bloodcats ran towards them, and my sniper looked into the house and took out the single ones that went towards him. But he is only useful as pilot, not as soldier.
Question: When I bring John and Mary to Drassen, they join my squad. Did you keep them?

Still cannot find Pacos or figure out how to get the decoder without the militia attacking me. I've cruised around the neighboring sectors and found Fish, but that didn't help.

I just found an AK conversion kit but it doesn't seem to work with any of the AKs that I've tried or the SKS. If it does work, what does it work with?
If it isn't implemented, is there any way for me to do it myself?

How do you solve the Day 1 quest of cleaning up the camp and contacting the surviving members? I went to the A10 underground, then cleaned up all 4 blocks and recruited Joey. Went back to A10 underground and there is no new dialogue. In the meantime I've almost liberated Drassen, but the red quest bugs me.

Oh sorry, I might have misworded it. The cleaning up the camp and contacting the surviving members quest in the History log is still red.
I might consider starting a new game with enemies drop all, this is just brutal haha.
The Drassen mine was running at 50% the whole time, but I haven't recruited the foreman. Wasn't even enough to pay for militia upkeep. I've then recruited the foreman, then manually assigned him to the Mine, which fixed it. It was running at 100% the time he was awake. I'll probably nix the foreman penalty and just not recruit them. It also seems a bit silly that they forget how to mine efficiently when he's asleep.
Tony is my best friend now, since the mine doesn't generate enough income to hire meaningful mercs. I roam the countryside, fight baddies and sell their weapons to Tony. I've also hired Rudolf for a day, mainly for his rifle and scope since I saw a few boxes of 7.92x57mm ammo on BR.
In the process of taking over Oronegro, and just in time since the Drassen mine is starting to run out.
I hope BR gets some 5.56 ammo after I take the town and SAM site.

You can change the Mining foreman features in the options ini, though the newer system gives you a few recruitment options should you use it and the added ability of the PCM (Player Character Mod) if you want to take miners into battle. I wouldn't suggest switching to drop all as it will soon kill any financial balancing or challenge. Vengeance was never intended for Drop all use.
I think the early 'quests' in red such as clearing the base may be using older code left over from Vanilla, and doubt that would change, as I say there is no follow up speeches from Agatha as far as I can remember and it's not like in Vanilla where you get to recruit others in the rebel hideout.
Taking Oronegro should help your cause, it's a good source of income and the oil rig is easier to defend than most sectors, if you position your troops well enough.

Hi there,
Thanks for the wonderful mod!
Simple question: how do you assign a foreman for the mine/oil rig? I can't figure this out. For example, I have 100% loyalty in Drassen, but mine gives me only 50% income. I can't recruit Fred, even with Miguel. When I try to assign one of my crew member to the facility->mine->assign foreman it says that foreman already assigned... How it works, exactly?
Please help.
TIA

@ Scheinworld: Thanks! I really appreciated your help.
But for me, I still can't recruit Fred with Miguel (98 LDR)!? When I talked to him earlier with another merc (also with high enough LDR) he refused to join because my mercs pool was full (32) (got a game message). So, I then fired a few guys and tried again to convince Mr. Fred, but no, he is against that for unknown reason! BTW, I did recruited the oil guy in far North-West corner of the map (bold one, don't remember his name) successfully. I may try to talk to Fred with another merc. According to history report the first time I talked to Fred miner was on day 2. I'm on day 34 now... Maybe it's a bug?
Anyway, thanks again for your help!

@Galushka,
you have to talk to Fred first as a miner-foreman. Than you can recruit him. The others you can recruit without talking as foreman IMO.

@Fan: I already talked to Fred by my own char on day 2, but forgot to recruit him then. Now, on my day 34, I followed Scheinworld's advise by talking to him first (this time with Miguel), but nothing: he is repeating the same phase, and that's it! I'll try to recruit another miner with Miguel.

@Galushka,
sorry, I don't have experience by making this mistake with Fred. But I believe that was it with him. Sorry, he is the best of the foremen.
You would be able to recruit p. e. Carl, Calvin and Matt. Matt is IMO the best of the rest of foremen. Then others: Frazzler, Fish, Perko, TNT, Cobra, Eagle.
Perhaps you don't know the programm ProEdit in the direktory "BinaryData" in the directory "data-1.13" or so?
If you don't, open it and scroll through all persons at the left side of this sight. You can see all their skills and so on. But you cannot change it by this way.
You may deside your choice after this who is your best.
I hope you understood my English. Much fun.

Thank you. It's not a big of a deal. Eventually I was in more than a month in game time and never recruited any miner/oil rig operator. I just wanted to try this feature. I may fire a few more mercs to lower expences.

First I have to say: What a great mod this is. The amount of work you guys must've put into this is baffling.
Havent had that much fun with JA2 in a long while!
A question related to oil rig income:
Initially I went westwards and captured the town of Oronegro first.
There i found the fat Foreman (Think it was Calvin?) and assigned him to the oil rig.
I noticed that my oil rig is working at 50% max and when Calvin isnt sleeping its working at 40% (I assume thats related to his background which gives -10% rig income).
When i was browing the forums here I read that Calvin was some fool that gimps your income by a lot and that he should be replaced. I hired Scream to be his replacement and assigned him to the rig.
Still, my production is still capped at 50% and I have no idea why?
Is my oil rig damaged or something? Cause when i entered the sector, there were explosions all over the rig.
Another thing that got me puzzled:
When I went to sector D3 the game told me that my squad has seen someone. When i went to investigate I only found an empty house and an empty shed and nothing else. Nobody else was on the map?
Am I missing something?
