Lanzfeld Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 "A Series Of Misfortunes" that is.... The second time I played it I got a "Draw". I doubt I can do THAT again and I had many little instances of luck to get it! What a nightmare. I got as many tanks as I could down the side of the map and then tried to get as many of the guns to keep turning as I could. They seem to traverse slow so I tried to exploit that handicapp. I did defeat every gun but I took too many losses and it was a draw. Are we suppost to be able to beat this one? No way that can happen without an incredible stroke of luck. This battle should be called "Take The Beating Like A Man." I loved it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Heh heh. CM ain't like all those scripted shooter games where you've got to figure out the exact procedure needed to beat the game. Some scenarios should be considered 'learning experiences', as in learning just how badly things can go wrong. On the bright side, it feels really really REALLY good on those times when you prevail and conquer in what had been supposed to be a no-win scenario!

Lanzfeld Posted November 17, 2005 Author Share Posted November 17, 2005 Yup....that is for sure. Even if you find a certain tactic that works it is no guarantee that it will work twice. This is very true for this "misfortunes" battle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I picked that scenario out of the book because it proves that any General could have a bad day. Rommel ordering the regiment to attack, basically doomed it. People HAVE won the scenario, but I'll admit I was surprised by that. I figured if you try hard, a draw is a good result, or even a minor victory. If you have the book, make sure you read that chapter.

slysniper Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Just your comments have made me want to play this one, Some of us out here are looking for something to give us a whoopin, sounds like this scenario can hand out some humble pie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baneman Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hmmm, funny that, I don't need to play the hard scenarios to get a whippin'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
