This page lists proposed missions for the Boson's campaign
Note that ATM, it's only for X's campaign. Y's campaign might follow later.
Attack on enemy's base
Summary: one of the first missions in the game.
You have to destroy enemy's (Y's) base near the border in an attempt to weaken Y's forces before the main offensive begins.
Objective: destroy all enemy forces.
Date/time: few days before the main attack begins. At night?
Scenario: enemy has a few buildings and some tanks/soldiers. Plus the enemy's base should have something important/valuable (e.g. fuel supplies?) to make it worth attacking.
There shouldn't be too much resistance though, because it's an early mission and thus shouldn't be too difficult.
The attack begins
Summary: Y's offensive begins and you're on the front line with orders to defend the border as much as possible.
Objective: defend the border. Later fall back.
Date/time: D-Day
Scenario: border between X and Y; maybe some kind of forest; no civilians.
Y has to have lots of forces in this mission. At first your objectives are to destroy the incoming forces and to hold the border but eventually there will be so many Y's forces that you'll be overrun and you're ordered to fall back to safe area. Maybe you have to hold on for some time (although I wouldn't much like it to be timer-based) and then retreat in some transport vehicles (we'd need to support transport units for this)?
We'll somehow have to make sure that the player cannot destroy Y in this mission!!!
The usual way to make the enemy overrun you is to allow the enemy to receive reinforcements from off the map.
When the level is designed to have the enemy overrun you, the gameplay can feel disatisfying, unless the user knows to expect this.
This mission should have one of the biggest fights (i.e. most units fighting) in the game.
Shot-down plane
Summary: a plane carrying VIP of X is shot down and you need to find him before Y's forces do.
Objective: find the VIP and keep him alive.
Date/time: sometime in the middle of the war.
Scenario: VIP (president? general?) of X was leaving the island (maybe going to some appointment?) in a plane. While in air, the convoy (VIP's plane plus 6(?) fighters guarding it) was attacked by Y's forces. The plane crash-landed and the VIP managed to survive. Y's forces however are also looking for him so you must find him first and keep him alive in case Y attacks.
We'll want a nice destroyed plane model for this (the plane should be torn into several pieces).
