From the looks of this thread, I guess I am an exception. I much prefer long scenarios. 60 turns or more is great. My reasoning is that I like the idea of having a large map, having to recon the area ahead, gauging enemy resistance, or trying to determine what path the attack will come from. To me, this makes playing against the AI much better, as well as human opponents. For any that have played Close Combat, the two things I hated most were hitting the start button only to have 11 units in clear LOS within 200m that weren't there a second ago, and scenarios that only lasted for about 10 minutes of real time.
After two months of CM, and many outstanding Wild Bill scenarios, I now almost exclusively play operations. I still remember playing the Villers-Bocage Op as my first one and enjoying the first 10 minutes of the third battle as my troops and Tigers probed forward, but found no Brits for several hundred meters. The tension built to an incredible point as I waited for them to put up a stand. If this is boring to many, sorry, getting to the battle is half the fun. I also like that any thoughts of suicidal end game rushes are harshly rewarded in operations.
Quick Battles are there for those times when you can't or won't take the time for something bigger. I say devote your considerable efforts toward long, large scenarios and ops Wild Bill. Thanks in advance for the many yet to come!
