MarkEzra Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Here are the Designer Notes: DESIGNER NOTES: A Royal Pain Is listed as a Meeting Engagement style Mission. While it does meet the requirement it also fits the Probe Style Mission as well. The questions will arise, "Is this a good scenario for H2H? Is it balanced?" I think it's a good scen for H2H play for two reasons: 1. There is plenty of time (1hr variable) but not so much the game drags to a bloody, dyspeptic end. 2. It has an interesting (I think) and different set of challenges for both players. So is it Balanced? Well, if you mean do both sides have equality of men and equipment then the answer is no. But I believe that the degree of difficulty facing each player lends this scen to a fairly good H2H balance. In fact I designed the scen to be played H2H with my PBEM mates. Better Played Allied vs AI? Royal Pain has 5 sets of Group Plans for EACH side. So where the AI sets up and how they handle the attack is always different. Also, the use of variable timed unit orders throws another twist in the AI's attacks. But the degree of difficulty the Allied AI will have knocking out the Human controlled King Tiger tips the scale in favor of the Axis AI. Is Royal Pain Historically Accurate? No. But I did try to stick to some of the facts. Sort of. It's really a small vignette scen that might be better suited for TV... except for the complete lack of pretty French girls in the resistance and a duplicitous mayor just trying to keep his town in one piece (BFC fix or do somfink!) Hope you enjoy the show! MarkEzra 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Those are good designer notes, Mark. But, it would be helpful to have more info BEFORE we d/l the scenario as it's a "Royal Pain" to d/l something we don't want. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFF Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Those are good designer notes, Mark.

Good grief, it's a 1.37 MB download. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Multiply that by all the scenarios that people create and if it takes one to d/l and load up just to find out one doesn't want to play (say) H2H) that's a LOT of time wasted. It's way easier for a designer to simply state whether it's H2H and/or vs AI etc in the promo you post here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly hope that's not the Royal "WE" or I could just be in some King Sized trouble here. But I'll try to keep it in mind if I should post another scen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Normally I do 2, sburke. But, I don't bother with H2H scenarios as I don't think I will ever have the patience/time to play CM2 that way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
