CMBO to CMAK Scenario Conversion Question


Recommended Posts

First of all: the pyewacket map converter works GREAT.

My question for those of you that done conversions, are you adjusting the number of units when converting from CMBO to CMAK? Or does the game play out the same?

I haven't played much CMBO but I have read some of the threads dealing with the differences of arty effectivness and inf morale levels between the two games.

For me, I look at each scenario individually, and adjust accordingly. Some changes are unavoidable due to the differences in the two games. For instance, CMBO scenarios that featured Cromwells may get Shermans or Churchills in CMAK. A 4-gun 25pdr spotter in CMBO may be substituted with a 4-gun 4.2" spotter (ROF and blast values are roughly the same).

Other changes may be because you feel they would make the scenario more realistic. A good example is my conversion of Wild Bill's "Aachen". The CMBO version featured both sides at full strength (only option available in CMBO). However, the briefings describe how both sides were locked in bitter urban fighting for several weeks. To make the CMAK scenario more realistic I chose to lower each side's troop levels to reflect losses.
