Aragorn2002 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I hesitate to highlight just one scenario, since they all look smashing, but I pressume this is one of your master pieces, George? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 It is one of George's scenarios and challenging from both sides. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn2002 Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) It would be nice to have an overview of the scenarios and their authors. I always enjoy taking a good look at a scenario in the editor. It makes you realize how much talent these people have.

Combatintman Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Some of us shamelessly promote ourselves in the designer notes and I was pretty sure George had done so with his. Mine's Zitzewitz which is something I knocked up as what I call a filler really - I wanted to do a fairly simple scenario that captured the desperate days for the Germans. I wouldn't say it was my best work and not in George's league but it went down well with the testers I think mainly due to the narrative more than anything else. My showpiece scenario, Peiper at Parkany, regrettably never made the cut due to huge testing issues and crashes but I'll stick it on the Scenario Depot at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will check out your Zitzewitz scenario too. George didn't 'sign' his scenario (I think), but mentioned something about Scots/English, so that's practically the same.

I hope you enjoy Zitzewitz - I don't think it is a fine example of advanced scenario design if you are looking for AI tips - there are no triggers in there at all but it is worth a look for the basic mechanics. The strengths of that one are the map and the narrative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weapon2010 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 question about this scenario, I changed the ground conditions to dry to see if the winter camo would default back , but it did not , the winter camo remained in dry , am I missing something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is the vehicles, that's probably a Mod Tag- you can clear that from the Editor as well. When you restart, the scenario should be without camo/whitewash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along those lines ... in all likelihood it will work now as the debugger in the Beta builds requires more oomph than the final title, I'll give it a spin with the released title at some point. The map is big but not as big as some but there are about five battalion equivalents in the scenario. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those "about five battalions" don't sit on the map from the beginning but come in piece by piece during the battle it should hopefully work with most computers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - they don't though, only about two battalion equivalents trickle in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty's Mighty Moustache Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I'm playing this one as the Russians PBEM as my first F&R scenario, we're only 20 minutes in or so but I already have some pretty hefty dilemmas on my plate! Gonna be a nasty scrap I think, loving it. Kudos @George MC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent When this was being playtested it was fascinating to see the different ways players resolved (or attempted to resolve) these dilemmas. Ways I'd never envisaged! Be interesting to see what your approach is. Awra best! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it will probably work. I had started testing the latest version, but we all ran out of time before release. And it's a long one. I was about 20-30 minutes in I think. No crashes with several saves. Seemed like it was working fine. If it's still in the uploads folder, now that the last 2 weeks flurry has died down, I can go back and play with it some more, if you like @Combatintman If not if you want to pm me a copy, I'll give it a go. It would be good to get it released to the Scenario Depot at least. It's in the category of "You want tanks? I've got tanks for ya' " Dave 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
