Sven Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Is it just me, or are the scenarios in CMBB a lot more uneven than they were in CMBO? Also, which is the best place for downloading CMBB-scenarios? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 try the scenario depot http://ns9.super-hosts.com/~dragonlair.net/combatmission/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Oh Sven If you like VERY balanced scenarios may I recommend the following: Pershotraveneve Ridge Pershotraveneve Village Pershotraveneve Islet They are in the Scenario Depot. They are as balanced as you can bet in CMBB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phemur Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 I've played quite a few scenarios, and I've found them to be quite balanced; I'm undefeated vs the AI. I normally play both sides against the AI, so it's not just a question of me always picking the stronger side. I haven't played many scenarios vs humans, but most end up in a draw. Most WWII battles weren't balanced to begin with, so scenarios based on historical battles shouldn't be either. One of the most appealing aspects of scenarios, in my opinion, is that historical scenarios allow players to see if they can beat the odds, and pull out a victory from a desperate situation. I digress. It's important to mention the Scenario Depot, even if several others have mentioned it already. It really is that good.

Use bad tactics and you will lose. THat was not so much the case in CMBO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THat was not so much the case in CMBO True, but how come you didn't send the man to Ker Dessel? A rigourous program of playing Ker Dessel scenarios will give him new insights into the nature of scenario balancing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWB Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 I would add Boots and Tracks as a place to get damn good battles. I dont think the CMBB battles on the CD were tested any less vigorously than the ones on the CMBO CD. And, like the CMBO battles, they are not nearly as good as they were a year ago when they were released. Why? Add a few significant patches and players learning how to cope better and playbalance can easily be thrown off. And what Berli said.

Thin Red Line Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 I'm currently playing some CD battles in PBEM (Cracking the Egg, The Seam) and those "vintage" scenarios are still excellent ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 The ROW III scenarios turned out to be very balanced, which is surprising since balance was the one thing the designers didn't worry about, or tried to achieve. Here are the averages from the 36 matchups (allies listed first): Rearguard action 60/40 King of Debrecen 54/46 The Christmas battle 54/46 The Beast 51/49 Hosszupalyi 44/56 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
