Selecting Maps for Quick Battle

[lczaplys]

Is there a way to select a map before a quick battle to determine what kind of forces to use?

If you play on random maps - no. The trick is to select a force that can hold its own on any terrain - there's nothing like your opponent chosing Tigers in '43 and the map being heavily wooded.

If you want to use a pre-made map, you can select any map or any scenario and load it in in one of the QB menus.

Some points to consider:

1) If there is no flag on the map, CM will add some, depending on mission (-> position) and amount of points.

2) If there are no setup zones, CM will add some, depending on mission (ME, axis probe, allied assault etc).

3) If there are troops on the map, CM will ask if you want to import them. If yes, you'll get the troops on map plus the ones you buy. If no, you'll have only those you buy.

4) There are maps with given setup zones and flags. Usually only appropriate for the given mission type unless you change or delete the setup zones and/or flags.

5) Maps and scens are both saved as "cme". Maps are just scen without troops.

6) Directory to search: "Scenarios" and "Quick battle maps".
