FF - Battle Dynamics

FF - Battle Dynamics changes how Freedom Fighters assembles and deploys enemy forces during official battles and counterattacks over towns, bases and factories.

Ten selectable attack patterns include infantry concentrations, mechanized attacks, supporting approaches, phased advances and conditional reserves. Terrain and connected roads influence which patterns are feasible. Vehicles can appear early; attacks no longer have to progress from light to heavy equipment.

The planner includes eligible modded vehicles registered with the enemy faction. Model-family weighting keeps camouflage variants from dominating the selection. Drivers, weapon crews and passengers use the faction's native FF composition rules.

Planning is divided into small steps. Troop and vehicle limits, staggered spawning, bounded retries and a shared ticket budget keep the system under control. A dedicated FF - Battle Dynamics settings page explains every option. An illustrated Field Manual explains each attack pattern, its timing, reserves and custom-map settings. Reoccupation after-action reports can name the selected enemy plan.

Supports the persistent battle system in Freedom Fighters - Testing 1.0.3. Multiple attacks share the planning work budget. FF handles virtual movement, casualties and unit persistence; saved Battle Dynamics plans and reserves continue after restart.

Requires Freedom Fighters - Testing. Works independently, with or without Reoccupation and its companion mods. Native AI and map navigation still determine how well individual vehicles traverse a route.

Thank you to Johnny Kerner for creating Freedom Fighters and the framework that makes this extension possible. This is an independent community mod, not an official Freedom Fighters release.
