De Savage Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I'm the one who have less time to play and I'm looking for smaller and shorter scenarios. It was nice to see some very good small scenarios in CMFI. I specially enjoyed "Catch a Tiger!" and "Fight at Fallebruca" scenarios. Thanks for the scenario designers, looking forward for more. Sicily is totally different and new tactics is needed. I have very little knowledge of this campaign, but so far I had fun playing. Still eager to experience more... I'm hoping that I can make few scenarios too (if I find time for it) but in the meantime I hope YOU GUYS make more of these, please! There are people who love small scenarios and I'm one of them. So everyone who likes small & short scenarios please speak up and ask for more! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nachinus Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I do like small scenarios and campaigns. It's much easier to be in the small details and follow the action in a closer fashion. Company level is my favourite level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theFightingSeabee Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I'm happy you enjoyed Catch a Tiger! I also like the smaller scenarios. As soon as I get some time, I would love to make a few new ones. I've already began one, but it needs a lot of work before I can let it out. Either way, I'm sure you'll be seeing a bunch coming out as the weeks go by. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkmek Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Count me in for the small, quick battles. Company or smaller. As nachinus said, it seems much more personal and you can really get into the details with everyone involved in the battle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Take a crack at Casa Nostra guys, if you like small scenarios. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I was about to start a thread on how wonderful it is to finally have larger maps and scenarios so one can play more combined arms (for those of us who find all infantry clashes boring) lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadrach Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I'd love more smaller scenarios too, like the others say they feel more personal. A lot of WW2 was these kinds of small skirmishes. Too much for an aging brain to figure out on those huge battles too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Placebo Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I am in the samll battles camp too. I love getting in to the detail of the small battles where every soldier counts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Let's hear it for medium-sized scenarios! Reinforced companies is the way to go. A company of infantry with a platoon of armor and a few odds and ends thrown in makes for a nice, manageable combined arms battle.

Stingray Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Small, short, violent, firefight scnarios for me also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 all sizes have their place. But I do agree that there is not enough smaller battles being created. I always feel like the smaller battles are the most exciting. because losing one key piece or unit might swing the whole battle. The bigger the battle gets the less value each unit has in the total objective. you get to a point where losing a platoon of tanks is ok. as long as they bought time for your other three platoons to make the flanking move you wanted. It really does change the thought process you have. For some players, they cannot change the value of their units with how they play the game. So they only like one style. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonRocko Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Small is best for me also. I would like more smaller campaigns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steiner14 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Have you ever played PBEM? If you have not much time, PBEM is THE solution for this, too! PBEM does not only make it possible, that people with not much time, or large blocks of sparetime, can play the FULL scale of all available battles, even huge ones. It also allows to play without the ticking clock in the head while playing against human opponents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Field Marshal Blücher Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 The German campaign doesn't get much bigger than a reinforced company until the last couple of missions, if you want to give it a try (it is tank-heavy, though). Time permitting, I am also hoping to make an unofficial company-ish scale campaign for CMFI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xian Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Yup - I'm a big fan of the smaller scenario. I think they tend to show CM off at its tactical best - the player is able to really concentrate on the wonderful detail built into the game rather than simply being content with the large 'brush strokes' necessary to complete large battles. It's so much more rewarding when you get a up close and dirty - checking ammo counts, looking into unit combat modifiers to make sure you have the right team for the job etc. It's the small things that set CM above the rest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZPB II Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Good to hear that there's demand, I'm in the process of making a byte campaign which spans from a couple of platoons to a reinforced company. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Tip for greater enjoyment of huge battles: Buy and play CM1 games for a while (um... say 10 years). The CM1 games are close to perfection regarding their level of abstraction for scenarios and campaigns that approach operational level with several battalions on each side etc. Of course it's fine that folks like small scenarios, but from the POV of players like me, MOST of the CMBN and CMFI scenarios are small(!) There are only a couple of large scenarios in the game lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CM1 games are close to perfection regarding their level of abstraction for scenarios and campaigns that approach operational level with several battalions on each side etc. I would sort of endorse that. My average battle in x1 had the attacker as a reinforced battalion. I think my largest ever had a battalion of infantry, a company of tanks, a platoon of assault guns, and some other odds and ends including a battery of direct fire arty as well as a couple battalions of on call arty. I was after a major Soviet breakthrough attack. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a Medium scenario in CM2 = a Huge one in CM1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only a couple of large scenarios in the game lol. I have a couple of ideas sketched out for very large scenarios for the Bagration title. And I've got one monster tank battle on a very large map waiting for v2 to come along after which I can upgrade the 'Scottish Corridor' campaign. But for Normandy, I much prefer the reinforced company-sized missions myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
