Stixx Posted July 8, 2001 Share Posted July 8, 2001 I'm looking for the biggest scenarios ever made for CM. I've played most of Large Scenarios hosted at Combat Missions, Der Kessel, Games of war etc. I'm sure there are more out there though. Any ideas where to look? Know of any massive CM scenarios?. Any assistance greatly appreciated. Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtweasle Posted July 8, 2001 Share Posted July 8, 2001 I've made 2 HUGE scenarios and play tested them with a couple people but they lack the feel of the smaller ones. I deleted them a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stixx Posted July 8, 2001 Author Share Posted July 8, 2001 I'm not sure what you mean by "Feel". If you have 100 hundred rifle squads i suppose it doesn't hurt as much loosing when 1 as it does when you only have 10. Either way, i like large battles and am still looking for some. edited; because i can't spell [ 07-08-2001: Message edited by: Stixx ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTed Posted July 8, 2001 Share Posted July 8, 2001 Stixx, There is a Kursk-style battle under development at Boots & Tracks. It features two near-battalions of armor facing each other. You may like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfish Posted July 8, 2001 Share Posted July 8, 2001 I have something that you might be interested in. It's an Op depicting the British assault on the Dutch city of S. Hertongenbosch in Oct '44. 10,000+ pt British force against 7,000 Pt German. Map size is 3600 x 2000. The entire map is visible from the start, so it plays more like a huge scenario than an Op. E-mail me if you want it, my address is in my profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtweasle Posted July 8, 2001 Share Posted July 8, 2001 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Stixx: I'm not sure what you mean by "Feel"...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Maybe it was because I made them, but even some of the other larger scanarios I've played have lacked the correct "feel" of the more average to somewhat large sized scenarios. Can't exactly descibe what I mean other than they just don't seem to have the right kind of atmoshpere for CM. Anything bigger than about a battalion is I think not this games strongest suit. Besides, just keeping track of the OOB in CM for anything realy large get's a little cumbersome I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWB Posted July 8, 2001 Share Posted July 8, 2001 Rune just made one called XXX Corps Attacks. And believe me, it is insanely huge. And, did I mention that it is EVIL. WWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdog Posted July 8, 2001 Share Posted July 8, 2001 Funny you ask for a big scenario how dose this sound? Its almost ready for release, we are just warping up beta test. The map is ready, just tweaking the forces a little. Big Valley v1.1 Date: 9/44 (5/25/01) Length: 40 turns Side: American (U.S.) Vrs German (SS) Size: Reinforced Motorized Battalion-level (with large armor attachments) Battle: Semi-Historical Meeting Engagement Location: Eastern France Weather: Clear & Dry Author: Tom the "Big Dog" Oliver CM: v 1.12 Best Played: as PBEM Designer’s Notes: 1. This is a huge map, with a large force it will most likely tax slower systems. With the heavy tree cover and distances that need to be covered, the AI has trouble and it’s not advisable to play against the AI. 2. The map has multiple approaches, good cover and is set up for equal play. Both forces are equal in points & composition. I set it up so that the opening forces are using Fionn Kelly’s Short 75 rule, then about 1/3 way through the battle we move into Fionn Kelly’s Panther 76 rule. Total points are approximately 10000 per side 6000pts with the opening force. 4000pts in reinforcements, broken into 3rds. 3. Its mid September and Patton’s 3rd Army lead by the 4th Armored Division, is driving up from the South East. As they push North East the Germans continue to try to slow the 3rd Army’s advance to the unmanned Siegfried Line. 4. The battle is take control of the main bridge at the center of map. The Valley runs East–West with a winding river running through the center. There are 3 bridges in the Big Valley. The main stone bridge in the center, a small wood bridge at the West end of the valley & a longer wood rail bridge at the East end. The river has numerous fords for infantry crossings. 5. For the Americans you must cross to the North side of the river and establish & control a bridgehead at the main crossing. 6. For the Germans you must stop Patton’s spearhead and try to reestablish a MLR at the river. 7. If you’re like me preferring larger battles with lots of options to achieve victory I think you will enjoy this Scenario. Both sides’ needs to cover their flanks with the diagonal setup zones it makes for the best kind of meeting engagement. Please let me know what you think of Big Dogs Big Valley. We appreciate all comments, or suggestion for improvement. toliver2@home.com I would like to thank the Big Dog testing team. Without there help & input I could not have made this a truly balanced scenario.

Firefly Posted July 8, 2001 Share Posted July 8, 2001 Rune also did one called Battle of the Bulge based on the movie rather than the real battle. I tried playing it on my PII 450, but gave up after I was able to have a telephone conversation with my mother while the machine calculated the second turn.

Mr. Johnson-- Posted July 8, 2001 Share Posted July 8, 2001 Check out my Death Ride of the Panzers, covers the attack of the Waffen SS panzers on Prokhorovka, southern front of Citidal operation. Very, very big.

Mr. Johnson-- Posted July 9, 2001 Share Posted July 9, 2001 I just recived a report from 2 players who valiently played Death Ride pbem, end result was over a 1000 dead for the Russkies and almost 500 dead for the Germans. Over 50 German tanks burning, 80 for the Russians. And the Russians shot down 9 German bombers!!!! I've sent out an updated version to Manx...should be up and available soon...I took away some of the German toys it was designed for single player as the Germans, now it should be a little more balanced.

Grunto IV Posted July 9, 2001 Share Posted July 9, 2001 my scenarios, 'putot' and 'tank trap' might fit the bill. 'tank trap' has 20,000 points total. 'putot' is huge too. they're at admiral keith's site and at manx's site. 'tank trap' is particularly huge in that, not only is it over 20,000 points, but most units are green (lower cost). there are a good 150+ vehicles total in that one; and probably 2 battalions of infantry, all told. andy [ 07-09-2001: Message edited by: Grunto IV ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stixx Posted July 9, 2001 Author Share Posted July 9, 2001 Thnx mate. I've played Putot and enjoyed it. I haven't played tank trap though. I'll give it a go. Thnx again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
