Apache Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) What's the standard of the scenarios like normally? Seems the CMFB scenario has attracted some criticism in terms of balance. Not sure if it's designed as an 'against the AI' scenario or, if it is badly balanced, if it's just a design problem. I enjoy H2H, but only if the scenarios are worth playing.

A Canadian Cat Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Well we don't intentionally pick poor ones to play but the main goal (after getting people together to play who might not have otherwise) is to get some experience with some of the scenarios. One of the best things about the Blitz is the scenario database with the play record. You can look at the list of scenarios and see which ones are balanced for H2H play and which are not. But that only happens if the scenario get some play. And coordinating a group of people to all play a scenario at once gives everyone data, comments and ratings on the scenario. You can find all the scenarios with H2H play records here (lots more than just CM games BTW): http://www.theblitz.org/scenarios/b-15.htm Here is a few specific examples: Cutline to Grosshau: http://www.theblitz.org/scenarios/combat-mission-final-blitzkrieg/cutline-to-grosshau/b-15.htm?action=scenario&id=11547 It is a well rated scenario with what looks like a slight balance in favour of the Axis side but you can see the players felt they had a reasonable chance to win. People had fun so perhaps giving the US to the more experience player could put things in nearly perfect place - but regardless it looks like people had fun playing it. Probably a good choice for H2H play. Attack on Verrieries Ridge http://www.theblitz.org/scenarios/combat-mission-battle-for-normandy/attack-on-verrieries-ridge/b-15.htm?action=scenario&id=3689 Looks about as well balanced as you will likely see and reasonably well rated too. This looks like a great one to play - I just add it to my list. Bloody St Omer Chapelle http://www.theblitz.org/scenarios/combat-mission-battle-for-normandy/bloody-stomer-capelle/b-15.htm?action=scenario&id=3596 Looks like an unbalanced scenario but not a total lost cause. It rates well so it could still be worth playing but at least you know what you are getting into. There is a side goal to make tweaks to the scenarios that are not balanced to force them towards better balance for H2H play but no one has actually done any edits as of yet. Perhaps one day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apache Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) Thanks. Interesting and informative. I signed up and immediately had my account disabled getting the message "Our software has detected that you might be a spammer". WTF??? Not the best start. I'll see what happens after the Admins review the account. Or just bin the idea altogether Not too impressed. First time I've EVER encountered c**p like this!

A Canadian Cat Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) Well that sucks. Forums often have aggressive anti spam procedures in place. Sorry you got caught in it. I am sure they can sort it out. If you have any trouble you can PM me here.

Apache Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Thanks. Not even heard anything from the Admins at all. Just the activation email that get's me to the 'Your IP has been banned - reported source of spam". I'll bin the idea TBH. Can't be asked to waste time chasing round stuff like this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 That's to bad. If you change your mind and pm me and I can poke the right people about a solution. I believe that message means that the ISP you are using is or has hosted spammers and now has their IP addresses are black listed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apache Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Hi. Maybe. You'd expect with a registration that says the admins will look into it that you'd get some kind of correspondence from them. As it is, my IP address has changed, with a router reboot, to one that is not blocked. So I can now access the site main pages but when I try to log in it seems the account is still blocked. So I've binned the idea. Life's too short. Wasted more than enough time on it as it is. Thanks anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 OK that's your prerogative and totally fine. May I ask that you send me a PM with your site user name and your email that you created the account with. I can then ask the powers that be what happened. We currently have one admin that is dealing with RL issues and it is his job to contact people then a gentle poke from me might get things moving. I understand that life is short and you have to invest time where you think you can get the most return, keep in mind that many of these gaming sites are volunteer run and plenty of stuff falls through the cracks from time to time but we all try to create a good environment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
