Solved Can't launch assaults anymore

Hello! First, I have to say, I love this mod. I have over 2k hours in FO4 since it launched and this mod honestly makes it a new game.

However, I'm having trouble with Conqueror. I am using the BOS Faction Pack just after Act 2 started and have had success setting up a main base at BOS Airport and manually set up Outposts at Nordhagen and Outpost Zimonja. I was able to launch an assault and capture County Crossing as a vassal for the airport and apparently for Nordhagan as well (i launched it from the airport but theres a line going to both the airport and Nordhagan from County Crossing). However, I can't get an assault to launch from Outpost Zimonja. After I select Tenpines Bluff to attack and then choose my soldiers (not special units, just soldiers) the assault quest doesnt launch and I get the "Something went wrong setting up your assault" message.

I found the change role workaround online, so I changed all of my warriors to guards and sent them to Zimonja, then i changed 5 guards at Zimonja into warriors and made sure they didnt assign themselves to anything. However, I still get the error message. I even tried using assigning 0 soldiers, like i was going to attack the place solo, and I still get the error message. When I go over to Tenpines, the NPCs are sitting on their beds like captives but talk to me normally.

I'm on PC, using Sim Settlements v4.1.5 and Workshop Framework v1.1.9
 
Since you have the quest in the pipboy, I'd say give it a shot and go take out Taffington. The Pip boy markers may be off for some reason. I'd say go smash in the boat house!

To further the exploration of the console commands with quests, using the wiki link above, you can look at all the objectives of the quest now.
  • sqt shows you all of your current quests and their ids (that shot above)
  • Now that you have that quest ID, you can look at every step in that quest by using sqo with the quest ID listed (the first time there were no parameters to it returned all the things.
ShowQuestObjectives <QuestID> or sqo <QuestID> – Shows all current quest objectives. If called with no parameters, it will return all quests, completed or otherwise.
  • sqo BoSRo2
That should show you each objective like:
10 Join the Assault
20 Subdue the remaining defenders

Since you actually have the quest though, this stuff isn't necessary unless it breaks, but it's good to see how the quests are put together for future reference.

Update: I tried spamming an assault on Tenpines from Outpost Zimonja and finally got the assault quest to pop. I tried sending max soldiers and special units (not sure if that mattered but those were the settings I used for the assault).
I tried sqt and sqo; they showed no targets for me and any objectives listed for relevant assault quests were noted as "dormant".

Thanks to all who chimed in! I hope this thread has been helpful!
