Hans Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 We've all played bad scenarios haven't we? You've experienced the thrill of uber tanks vs. MG armed eggshells on a featureless steppe. The intellectual splendor of the contest against hordes of CAS and not having a single AAA weapon or a ground enemy anywhere within 3 kilometers. The delight of running into an impenetrable mine field and noting you don't have any engineers. The sublime reaction to finding that your force consists of conscript infantry and all-0-leaders and they must cross 400 meters of flat, coverless, MG swept terrain to attack crack fanatic infantry sitting in trenches. But I've made one worse than that - it’s our own Four-Horsemen gang and their Minions trying to take over CM from the Company (BFC) supported by its various Lackeys. Yes all of the most annoying people in the CM community are part of a scenario. If you like bad, really bad scenarios then go over to the Scenario Depot and take a look at CM Gunfight 1881. This scenario will be followed by CM Splat, 1467 - you and your trusty wooden maul versus an army of conscript bunnies out to get your celery.

MikeyD Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I was able to follow your post for about 3/4 of the way thrugh when it lapsed into something resembling the ramblings of Col. Walter "The horror" Kurtz in 'Apocalypse Now'. But it was enough to get me curious. I hope your bad scenario has a least ONE impassable water obstacle or sheer 50 foot cliff!

ParaBellum Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I was kinda sad when I couldn't find myself among the brave troops... Until I found ParaBellum's Sanitarium. The map looks great. Anyone fancies a PBEM? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 Sergei - well BECOME Catholic, become ordained, become who you really want to be. Parabellum - yes meant to have you as a fighter but I had a few too many German sounding names. I thought the name for the building was appropriate. I was also unable to figure if you were a company or four-horsemen supporter. MikeyD, what you don't understand about the four-horsemen, the company, minions and lackeys? Sakes alive! Where I come from that's a burning offense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 Ah a company man. I had thought of having you lead a group of staff & crazies (actually it would have been a TB hospital) to attack but I trimmed the size of the forces. Your command would have been a bunch of lunatics/sickies lugging around mortars with no ammo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll remember that for the next gaming weekend at Jim's. Note to any of the other potential attendees reading this thread - join Jochen's side if you enjoy losing. So not you, Mark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sand digger Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Is part of the being bad identifying something as the 'Scenario Depot', and leaving it at that? Let me guess.......... It's a beauty salon?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 @sand digger - do a search function (or try http://ns9.super-hosts.com/~dragonlair.net/combatmission/) @Sergei: Don't ever dare to enter my mission! Catholics or Ex-acolytes only. @Andreas: Stop trying to be important and send me my turns! @Hans: Saint Joachim... Yes! I am honored not being forced to choose sides in this battle thus representing the truly good forces of the forum.

Hans Posted April 29, 2004 Author Share Posted April 29, 2004 Sand digger the scenario is called CM Gunfight 1881, and is an alternative scenario designed to involved the most active and talkative people in the CM community - except for Saint Joachim of course. Joachim well it was either name the Mission or the Brothel after you but I decided to forego the house of ill repute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Well... two very interesting alternatives. The brothel is a real temptation. Gruß Joachim 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 I didn't go with the brothel because I couldn't come up with good representation of incensed fighting ladies of ill repute to be part of your "gang". Plus the guy I would have assigned the pimp position to was already "employed" elsewhere in the scenario. Thinking back on it I should have had you commanding some mad monks - maybe bringing down lightning bolts? (single 240mm shells) a bit over the top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Yes - 240mm FO as reinforcement with massive delay... Even better... incendiary rockets... or the biggest rockets available.... Guaranteed to hit both sides equally. Gruß Joachim 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 Ah yes those Germans 6xxmm rockets - ah for the next version of cm gunfight, the Not OK Corral, the revenge of the Michael's Yeah to bad there is no way to have more than two sides in a CM 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
