Battlezone 1

I'm a bit stuck in a single player mission: NSDF #8 (Wrangling The Fleeing Herd). I cannot locate the CCA convoy. As I understand it, the convoy should pass by the choke point nav but it never shows up. There doesn't seem to be any indication of it on radar either. Is this a bug in the game or am I just missing something? (I am playing the 1.4 version) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The convoy takes a while to get to the on-map area, when it does a red circle with the title 'Alien Relic' will appear on-screen. When the guy say "15 minutes' or '5 minutes to the cut-off point' that just means to get the walkers in place . some of the missions in BZ single player progress slowly

Yeah, you've got stuff to do before the convoy arrives.

1. Take out all 6 Howitzers.
2. Build a silo near scrap and protect your scavengers.
3. Deploy the Unit Factory at the Choke Point.
4. (optional) Locate and destroy the CCA base.

If you destroy the base, build a silo there and bring your scavs there and order them to scavenge. More scrap for your army of tanks/light tanks/walkers, etc.

Once you hear:

That means they are approaching and you will need to destroy them. You will need a Tug to pick up the relic and bring it near the Unit Factory. Mission Complete!

You guys are the best, many thanks. I thought I had covered all of the tasks needed before the convoy arrives but I must have missed something. I'll follow-up when I get a chance to try it again later today. Thanks again.

OK I finished the mission. I think I missed the convoy the first time due to being in the wrong place at the critical time. I don't think it stays on the map very long. Thanks again for all of the help.

the first time i played this mission i made the HUGE mistake of building the factory really far from the "choke point" and my walkers never got there in time. once you kill the howitzers, move the factory to the choke point nav THEN build walkers. cuz the convoy will pass right by that nav and the narrow canyon makes it really easy to kill them all. also, unless you collect TONS of scrap(which is only easy if you destroy the CCA base), you want to use the walkers. theres so many CCA tanks and fighters that its near suicide otherwise
