dalem Posted December 4, 2000 Share Posted December 4, 2000 For the Unholy Four: I know that currently my particular 'need' is amply filled by using the scenario generator instead of the QB generator. But I'm a lazy guy. Would it be possible for you to provide 'closed category' options for the QB generator for CM2? Suppose I don't want to know all the details, but I want to try taking a scratch infantry force wth some bazookas and a roadblock and load the AI (or my opponent) up with Armor but no arty to simulate fast advances (or whatever). The ability to completely close off certain categories of purchase would interest me. Thanks for reading, Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted December 4, 2000 Share Posted December 4, 2000 Hi Dale, Well, we haven't thought about allowing the player to choose which categories to put what points into. This causes some concern in terms of balancing and realism. Some yahoo could opt to by a platoon of infantry and 20 batteries of artillery for example We have kicked around the idea of purchasing standard Orders of Battle. Say you want to purchase an infantry Battle Group, you make one click and get a realistic force to command. Dunno if this will make it into CM2 or not, but it is on our minds to do it at some point for sure. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalem Posted December 4, 2000 Author Share Posted December 4, 2000 Steve- Thanks for reading. I understand your concern about realism. Regardless of how it works out for my personal tastes, I'm sure it will be fine. You guys know wargaming, and I can take that to the bank. -dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Patrik Posted December 5, 2000 Share Posted December 5, 2000 I'd like to be able to over buy in one category at a higher cost. It's really irritating when you can't get what you want because it costs 203 points instead of the 200 allowed, some times I feel I'd gladly pay double or triple (6 or 9 points) for those extra 3 points Just a thought Patrik ------------------ Ooops!

Robert Mayer Posted December 5, 2000 Share Posted December 5, 2000 I'll put in a strong vote for including a "battlegroup" style quick battle option. I love the idea of quickly generating historically reasonable sides for a quick battle. It'd be quite nice to be able to, say, set up a battle between an attacking mechanized column and a blocking force of infantry with light support, or whatever.

Sidekick Posted December 5, 2000 Share Posted December 5, 2000 I strongly support the option for purchasing a standard oob for historical purposes. I hope it could be implemented where designers could modify them to fit certain battles or situations. Hope we also can opt for more scenario terrain and conditions and especially hope we could use predesigned maps. Thanks for the constant attention to your customers needs.
