Thank you.

Just trying to find this scenario it is listed as being a WBoB tourney game and well balanced. MP1 TournamentVire Anyone know of a place where I can download it from? My Google Fu is failing me...

I have just found another useful tool for helping to select scenarios to play. The blitz have a great page that shows scenarios played and who has won. This can be checked to see which scenarios give even results. Linky poo here: - http://www.theblitz.org/scenarios/Combat-Mission-x2/cmbn/action=list&game=153 So for CW Keep Calm it shows played 11 times and won 8 by the British and drawn three times. So no wins for the Germans in 11 games recorded. Useful to know and that and the Wiki should help people find good H2H scenarios. BTW Keep Calm was a good scenario and we had fun but my Oppo and I agreed that The Germans stood little chance against what I had to use on him...

Just been playing this and IMO not balanced (Great fun but not balanced). Americans have strong edge and just been looking for good H2H games and see that this has been played 7 times at the Blitz and won 6 times by the American player. The map and scenario is a great scenario but a real tough game for the German Player. This link is good to try and see what might be good to play... http://www.theblitz.org/scenarios/Combat-Mission-x2/cmfi/action=list&game=165&order=d&order_by=games You can sequence by games played and results. Looks like "Beyond the Belice" might be a good scenario as played 7 times and drawn 3 with 2 wins for Allies and Germans...

I am just about finishing Fight at Vallebruca and while it is possible to win as the Germans it is unlikely. So I would have reservations about saying that is a good H2H game. It is a great scenario but not something I would point to for H2H unless the Germans are prepared for a very hard fight. Just my 2p... Canister is too cool (except for when it is coming your way...)

Have you loaded the scenario and checked to see if you get the gaps shown in the images I have taken? Would be good to know if it is just my PC playing tricks on me?

Which side would you give the stronger player? I.e. Which side has the least chance of winning in your opinion?

Bumping the thread and linking to this that players might find useful. http://combatmission.wikia.com/wiki/H2H_Scenarios I have just played CW Keep Calm and IMO the British Player has the edge so give the better player the Germans. The Arty for the Brit could win it alone if used well... Cheers H

Hi, you will not get any stats for that as it was not recorded. IMO a few. IMO Testing for a release is more about bugs than game play in scenarios although people testing do offer constructive feed back on scenario design it might not relate to balance for H2H. GaJ and others (myself included) have started threads to try and identify good H2H games for people. Like you I want to have something that each side has a chance at. This raises the question of what is balanced which has seen numerous discussions. GaJ nice link to a place where we can try and rate scenarios for H2H play. This is the way to go IMO and needs to be supported by those others (small number of players) who can feed into the comments. Hope this helps some what. I am going to bump the old CMBN H2H thread and post link to the site GaJ has listed. Cheers H

No they just climbed over the hedges!! But let's not re-start that discussion.

Ok I have taken some frap shots of the bocage in the CW Keep Calm Scenario and see if you can tell which are real gaps or false ones? Of course if you do what is suggested here and look real close for the low berm or lack of it that is the only true way to tell. But you can see why it can be confusing... This link there is one real gap and one not. Which is which? http://www.flickr.com/photos/16572454@N06/8465684590/ Gap or False Gap 5 by msj_1, on Flickr The real gap? http://www.flickr.com/photos/16572454@N06/8465681748/ These others are all false gaps... http://www.flickr.com/photos/16572454@N06/8465683244/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/16572454@N06/8464581267/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/16572454@N06/8464579589/ Gap or False Gap 2 by msj_1, on Flickr

I will have to pay close attention to these low notches.

I have seen these false gaps again and again and despite my length of playing the game they still get to fool (and annoy the hell out of) me. I am playing Keep Calm at the moment as British and these have fooled me twice now. It would be nice to get it fixed. (Mind you it would also be nice if the game reverted to the old way it handled Bocage rather than making it impassable except via the gaps placed by designers. see numerous heated threads on this!!!) This has been mentioned previously and in a competition game it really screws the game if you get this wrong, not that I play competition any more. So maybe it is a graphic card issue? Especially if others do not get to see them? I can post some screen shots of the CW Keep Calm and Carry On scenario and those that don't get to see them can perhaps load it up and do comparison shots?

So if it could only be one value what would be best? i.e. 30 or 15 or 25 seconds.

If it could be only one value what would make sense? 15? 30? How would people use it? I think I would use it for things with limited Ammo like mortars but not sure that is wise use due to ranging shots? How would you use it?

I must say it has made me smile seeing John post again..... Ahh the good old days...

Nope see Steve's explanation as to why not....

We had better start saving our pennies as in past years we had little to spend on and now all the buses turn up at same time...

+1 to Slysniper, CM Shockforce 2 is also something that might tickle my fancy. I have a yearning for 70's / 80's cold war and I guess this is the step in that direction...

Have a Search I think I have posted some screen shots of some suggested defence ploys...

I think going slow makes a difference The faster they go over such obstacles the more damage from memory....

Just downloaded it, but not sure when I will get to play it... Sounds like it should be fun...

Yes it would be fun but the way campaigns designed at the moment is all Human vs AI. The design would have to change to try and make more balanced and that is quite a bit harder I would think for the designer?

Not possible as far as I know... But I could be wrong...
