[bigbigdog]

How the hell do you assign them? When i brign up the mission box you cannot select anythign outside it?

preventing me from putting units intot he decoy box

 

 

Please help guys.

When you go to establish the mission, be sure to have the units taht will perform the mission, as well as those that you want to use as a decoy selected. Once the mission screen comes up there is a second tab to the right of the mission tab, where you cn assign your decoyx. I wouldn't recommend using characters for decoys, unless you don't like them, because if the mission goes wrong, they will most likely die.

how do select two units to perform a mission? i can only select one unit at a time, when in the mission box, i cannot select anything outside it, preventing me from selecting anothr unit for a decoy

The key to your success is the Ctrl-Key...

[SymbuCanon]

Hold down CTRL and click all the units you want in the mission and highlight them.

 

Then create the mission and they will all be in the left hand coloum of the mission screen, double click the characters you want as decoys and they will go to the right hand coloum and there you have it.

Hey all. I bring another decoy problem. Well, it's more like an uncertainty:

 

You see, I've been trying for a long time to sabotage a ground-based turbolaser battery (level II) without success. Last time I sent Daala (Force Trainee, ~140 Espionage, ~120 Combat) and two Commandos as the main team, plus 8 Commando decoys. The planet was currently blockaded by a large fleet of mine, and the battery, plus two shield generators, were the only wall that prevented my invasion (I don't want to lose any ships). The planet's garrison had five Calamari Regiments and General Antilles (Leadership 80).

 

The mission was foiled by the enemy, so I'd like you to suggest what else can I do to blast that thing off the face of Corellia. I'd keep trying, each time increasing the amount of decoys, but the team takes 30 days to travel to the target and 30 to get back.

 

Any ideas, please?

[Trejiuvanat]

Try lowering the number of decoys in the mission. Daala + one or two to deal with the mission and another two as decoys. The more people you have on the mission, the likelier it is to be foiled. Also get some Noghris and get Antilles first. Mon Cals haven't the best detection value, so it's the general who should take out before trying to sabotage teh shields or batteries.

[ShadowBlade]

Thanks, that makes sense. So I should use the same tactic to assassinate Antilles, right?

[teukros]

Abduction has a greater probability of success than assassination.

[Darth-Griffin]

Yeah it will have.

Has anybody mastered the assassination technique yet. I know you cant assassinate the major characters, but has anybody managed to get an assassination method together that works all the time

Vader & 1 Noghri + 2 Noghri Decoys?

 

I don't assasinate much, i prefer to capture them.
