Bimmer Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I've got a fully developed semi-historical scenario ready to go, but rather than just dump it online, I figured it might be useful to build some interest first. So, I'm looking for two experienced players with full installs of CMBN (all additional packs and updates required) who are willing to do turn-by-turn DARs here.The battle depicts the 90th Division's attack on Saint Jores in early July 1944. You can see some archival footage here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpiEvTZnOFcA few screens from the scenario:If you're interested, PM me. Preference will be given to established forum members. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z1812 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 What size is the Battle? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinaldi Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I may be interested. Is it H2H compatible, and is there a recommended skill imbalance between opponents, like your Muddy Waters scenario? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimmer Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 I probably should have explained in a bit more detail. It's a H2H only battle. I rated it Large, primarily due to force size/density rather than map size. I think it's fairly balanced, with both sides having a number of tactical challenges to contend with; neither side has it easy. The map has been created from the 1947 aerial survey photos cross-referenced to Google Street View, so it's about as accurate as I could manage. I can't be positive about the forces, but I checked multiple references and tried to build them so they are at least fairly representative of the formations involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimmer Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 More info: the map is 720x448, with the advance taking place along the long axis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bootie Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I'd be happy to give this a go against someone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimmer Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 I have sent PMs to those who have indicated an interest either here or via PM. Once I have two players I will send the file and they can get started. Thanks to all who have shown an interest. I look forward to seeing how the game plays out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rinaldi Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Alright, I'll contact Shane and see if we can agree on who will be who. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimmer Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 OK, the players have been contacted and the scenario file sent, so the Bootie vs. Rinaldi battle will commence once the particulars have been worked out. Good luck, guys, and thanks again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bootie Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Cool I will be attacking with the Americans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinaldi Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Excellent, its on. I'm hoping I put up a bit of resistance while I get my ass kicked around the map. I'll have the thread up in short order hopefully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithikial_AU Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Mmmm, any reason for no AI plans? Could take a look if you want. If you can provide a rough idea about what you expect the AI controlled forces to do I'll see what I can do. Need a few more later Normandy US scenarios. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm perfectly capable of doing AI plans and making single-player scenarios when I choose to; this one is (as most of my scenarios are) intended for H2H play. If and when I decide to modify it for single-player use, I'll handle it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimmer Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Sounds good, looking forward to it then.You know, my initial response to your offer came across a bit more abrupt than I intended. Sorry about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
