Jammersix Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 What is the largest scenario anyone has designed? Has anyone designed a scenario that uses a full U.S. task force? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinophile Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) You mean a brigade size? Its technically possible, although I think the max map size is something like 4km x 4km. Really, a reinforced Battalion is the upper limits of the game engine and human control. I played a huge PBEM battle with @Abbasid111. a full battalion each. That was a monster, but for me a lot of fun. It's not often you wipe out almost an entire mech platoon with a single arty strike.... I'd LOVE to play a RT battalion size game but it seems no one has the balls :'(( or the time :(( . If you want to play a Brigade size game, or simply push the map and engine limits as far as possible, I'm game. I'd prefer RT though, as a PBEM game is farrrr to distracting over 2-3 months.

Kinophile Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Hell, I'd try a brigade size game, just to test the engine...and my sanity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammersix Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 A task force is a battalion sized formation. I've been playing with the scenario thingy, but I'm having a lot of problems with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForwardObserver Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) That scenario editor is a journey Jams. I've spent more time going back and forth from the editor doing trial and error tests than actually playing the game because my brain doesn't properly digest the wording used in the manual.

Kinophile Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Yah its very very non-intuitive. I get that there's a sound logic and process but oh my. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammersix Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 P.S. I would be happy to try a brigade size game, although I'm not sure my computer would keep up. Computer speed is the only thing that prevents me from suggesting a division on division game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinophile Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) Ahhh but would you play it RT? For me, I find it very interesting to plan the battle, then watch it unfold and fire fight as needed. It can be an incredible rush when you get in the groove. An 1hour RT Brigade game would probably require about 2-3 hours of preparation.... But holy moly it would be mental. If you want, we could scale up from a company to battalion to brigade. I know of a decent little suburban map kicking around... Fog, mech Inf, UKR v RUS... Yes yes shameless plug :-) Edited June 12, 2016 by kinophile 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not you, it's the manual. All the Combat Mission games I've played have had terrible manuals. Whoever wrote them has no training in how to write a manual, and experience doesn't appear to be helping. Kinophile, no, I'm not interested in real time. I don't care for giggle-and-twitch games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
