Stoffel Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 well names dont come in to mind so fast,but I really hate playing scenarios with green/conscript troops with a few regulars against crack/elite airborne/gebirgjaeger units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoot Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 I'll use a title. 'OSS On Patrol' just stunk. Of course, my entry in the 'worst' column is biased. The individual who made it ripped off one of my maps to construct his turd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTed Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 I rember that, Clubby. Being involved in scenario design and testing myself, that really ticked me off too. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panther G Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 I know of one... It was called "Ranger Stronghold" and it stunk! You can go see my review of it at the CM Scenario Depot. It had a nasty map and really bad force balance. I played it 2 player, and I (as the Allies) really killed him (I think I won 90-10). That's all I can think of.

Hensworth Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 I've come across one recently where the briefings were the wrong way around, so I had the novel experience of going into battle knowing what I would be facing but not what with.

Graaf Spee Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 I had a very bad experience with a übergerman scenario. A german attack with 1800 against 900 points. But that wasnt enough. Almost all the germans had max ammo(60), the german tanks had almost no AP and a lot of HE, he had a 150mm spotter with 115 shells, and a lot of my troops started tired or wary. Did I miss something? Oh yes, the german briefing said that there would be no airsupport. Fun? Not at all! Im still wondering if it was playtested at all /Kristian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bill Wilder Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 I don't know Russel. I tend to remember the good ones rather than the bad ones. Don't get me wrong. There are some bad ones out there. I've done my share too :eek: I think many probably get too impatient or just careless. Good scenario design, like pro football, or sculptoring or race car driving is not for everyone. While sometimes not bad in themselves, in the light of some of the better ones, they do look rather lackluster. Still, I'd just rather forget those bad ones, including mine Wild Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Bill Wilder Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 Oops! (G) Very kind of you my friend. I appreciate the encouragement. Good tip on double saves that you made. I always do that too, one in scenarios directory and one in personal directory. It can save you a lot of grief, that is for sure!

Mr. Johnson-- Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 Hehhehe, good topic. I don't know if I've played that many "bad" scenarios. just scenarios that need a lot of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bill Wilder Posted November 4, 2001 Share Posted November 4, 2001 Why Mr. Johnson! Where did you find that statement I made some time back (Seems like a long time back)? I remember the issues and I remember writing it. I didn't think anyone else did Thanks for stirring my memory banks. Those were fun days. So are these.

LGMB Posted November 4, 2001 Share Posted November 4, 2001 Soldiers, I cant stand senerios with low quality maps! The worst experiance with this was a D-Day landing map, which was just awful. The author made it night time (!) and then put all the german pillboxes at elevation 19 (!!), with my units sitting at elavation 7 (!!!). It was like attacking a mountian. Not to mention, that they put all of my units in those god dam assault boats, which might I add, are NOT LCI!! or Higgins boats!! I played the first turn of the senerio and then gacve up..... It was just to awful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen-x87H Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 God this is actually funny to read about all of the bad scenarios out there. I have not played many scenarios so I can not say many are bad. Gen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
