adding units during a match on an indeterminate round

[Plinythemechwarrior]

One of the scenarios I am running (HTP Misery: Quantity Isn't Everything) requires reinforcements to be added either on turn 20, or when the last of the units currently on the field are destroyed.

How can I set Megamek to allow me to add mechs on an indeterminate round?

I play with multiple people (not bots) per team. When I tried using "File ->Unit List -> Reinforce from MUL" it will only give me the units, not my allies.

I could traitor the units, but that's slow to implement in the command box.

I could give each player his own MUL for his reinforcements, but that requires a lot of fiddling.

Thanks!

At present, I think giving each player their own MUL, which they select to reinforce with at the appropriate trigger point, is the only way to do this, other than the reinforce-and-traitor cycle that you've already noted.

There is an RFE already raised on the GitHub regarding being able to pick which player gets reinforced, if you want to add an additional comment to back it up ... https://github.com/MegaMek/megamek/issues/2403

I think having event-triggered reinforcements would be some considerable way further off! :)

Thanks for the info, Simon!
