  1. Not a test or anything, but while playing the scenario The Passage my mk IVH (late)'s were smoked by a single shot from T34-85 from a distance of approximately 1682 meters. Maybe some of you guys who are math wizards with ballistics can take a look and tell me what you think, but that just doesn't seem right. I would have thought that a long distance duel with mk IV against any T34 at 1500 + meters would be won by the Germans.

  2. Hello,

    I think I have found a bug and wanted to post it here. While playing a PBEM of Boldness Be My Brother I move one of my Cromwell VII's next to a bunker for cover. Now the Cromwell is unable to move. He can still fire but can't move. He isn't damaged or immobilized. Just an FYI.

  3. You seem to be saying that FOW is unimportant. This is wrong.

    FOW can be - and often is - part of the balancing act.

    Didn't say that.

    FOW can be part of the balancing act. Especially when it is in the description. Let me ask you. If you were a ladder player (maybe you are), would you want to be on the end of an unbalanced scenario and have a low chance of victory? A h2h scenario is supposed to be balanced or at least have a statement that says something to the effect "the more experienced player should be such and such side" That's common in the description of some scenarios.

    I think the one poster was spoken to in a manor that was as if to say that he was mistaken to play this scenario mirrored. But no one said not too in the description. And for the scenario designer to have to explain tactics is, to me, saying that there is a chance that the scenario might be unbalanced and worthy of the "experienced player" disclaimer. And as previously stated, mirrored play is a way to insure against an unbalanced scenario when playing on ladders.

    I'm not try to start an argument. I think we are all trying to give constructive criticism and I would think the scenario designer would be appreciative of that. If, for some reason, he doesn't like constructive criticism that this is the last place to publicly ask for someones opinion!

  4. First I would like to commend you on a wonderful map.

    If the game is intended to never be played as mirrored or that Fog of War is essential to the success of the scenario you might want to mention that in the description. I have never seen these sorts of stipulations on a scenario before but I don't see why you couldn't add them. Or you might say, "only to be played as one side vs the AI"

    An enjoyable h2h scenario is a balanced scenario. And when ladder play is involved in a game it is common to mirror a scenario in case it IS unbalanced. That is the reason for mirrored play.

  5. What they need is region event weekend tournaments. where they set dates a year in advance and have a hotel booked with a planned Tournament , events, meals and the whole weekend of thing available.

    Avalon hill did that back in its strong years and it was fun to meet and get to know others , face to face.

    Thanks for the response guys.

    And what you describe above is exactly what I had in mind.
