David Stone Posted October 2, 2000 Share Posted October 2, 2000 I just posted my historical Arnhem Scenario yesterday at the Scenario Depot. It is: "Frost Holds On at Arnhem." Go get it!! And please give your input. I have play tested it pretty well, but need some more critiques. Stoner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Stone Posted October 2, 2000 Author Share Posted October 2, 2000 The Shameless Plug: Accurate map of 1944 Arnhem city area at the highway bridge's northern ramp. Drawn from 3 sources including 1944 aerial photography and other photos. Detailed listing of British Airborne units. Including Officer names of those still remaining "in command" on Wednesday September 20th. Some Examples: Number 3 Platoon, A Coy, 2nd PARA Battalion, Lt McDermott. Number 2 Platoon, A Coy, 2nd PARA Battalion, Lt Grayburn (posthumously awarded the V.C.). HQ Troop, Royal Engineers, 1st Air Brigade, Capt Mackay. American Liason, 1st Air Brigade, Lt Todd. Acting Commander 2nd PARA Battalion, Major Tatham-Warter (one person, of many, who formed the conglomerated, umbrella carrying character in the movie "A Bridge Too Far").

Croda Posted October 2, 2000 Share Posted October 2, 2000 David, I'm playing the Arnhem scenario that came with the game right now. I'm sure I know what you'll say if I ask if yours is better, but can you tell me what the big difference is that makes yours supreme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Stone Posted October 3, 2000 Author Share Posted October 3, 2000 Details without spoilers? Well... I've drummed multiple ideas about this battle for a long, long time. Operations cannot accurately represent what happened to the Brits on the northern approaches to the bridge (as I see it). I decided to take Frost's final day. Not try to estimate which buildings were rubble, which units had ammo, or who was alive, beyond-which the excellent source's clear statements. I plugged in: who and where, as far as the Brits, and built a group of continually escalating German units. Test it. Play it by email against human opponets and give me feedback.

Compassion Posted October 3, 2000 Share Posted October 3, 2000 Could not find it at the Scenario Depot. We talking about the same place? TGN's space linked off the Raiders page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Bill Wilder Posted October 3, 2000 Share Posted October 3, 2000 It sounds like a fine piece of work, David. Congratulations. Doing an Arnhem map alone merits applause. I'll be downloading it and giving it a try. Thank you.

David Stone Posted October 3, 2000 Author Share Posted October 3, 2000 Okay, I looked at the "player ratings" and my scenario obviously NEEDS ALOT OF WORK. For those who have tested it-- please post some input. I have some ideas to better fit the action into "game terms," and feel the Germna forces need increased in size etc. Advice please.
