Stixx Posted May 28, 2001 Share Posted May 28, 2001 Just a question for those that have been around. Which "Mini-Campaign" dp you feel to be the most "Challenging" out of 1. ANY PORT AFTER A STORM 2. NO REST FOR THE WEARY 3. AGAINST ALL ODDS I've downloaded them all and will play them all but i don't get a lot of time to play CM. So if i can't get quantity i'll have to stick with Quality. and suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420 Posted May 28, 2001 Share Posted May 28, 2001 Against all odds, without a doubt. The rpg style briefings are great. Hats off to the designers and the testers. The reinforcement timing was superb, complimenting the momentum of the battle perfectly. I also liked the feeling of desperation I got when playing the scenarios. I wonder it even remotely compares to what the Germans must have felt when the war was winding down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked them very much - the scenarios were all VERY good studies in infantry company command and the battles and terrain are all very well done. Haven't tried Against All Oddsm yet. I'll go look for it now, methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Posted May 28, 2001 Share Posted May 28, 2001 Ales, to get 'Against all Odds', head to: http://home.germany.net/101-77027/CM/International.html It's in the 'Scenario' section. Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarmo Posted May 29, 2001 Share Posted May 29, 2001 Bummer. I can't get there. Every other link on the scenario page works except the one for minicampaigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420 Posted May 29, 2001 Share Posted May 29, 2001 No need to thank me, Fred. I'm just giving credit where it is due. I'm also a big fan of Patrick Ware's Mini-Campaigns. Any Port and No Rest are great, but felt more like infantry training excercises on a company level. Against All Odds was definitely more immersive. I hope both you and Patrick keep up the great work and make more of these scenarios! By the way, Fred, how many times did you have to test each scenario to get the timing of the reinforcements correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't select Netscape version using Netscape. The seletion worked fine with explorer though, so I used Explorer to enter Netscape area and then copied the link to my main browser. Downloading the campaigns... -- Oops. Still didn't work. The download buttons in Netscape area didn't work in my Netscape. Worked in Explorer. I now have the campaigns . This will keep me occupied for a while... [ 05-29-2001: Message edited by: Jarmo ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
