Wild Bill Wilder Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 Here is an update for those who have been asking about the battles of the Rumblings of War and the Unbalanced Battles tourneys. Look for the first three to be released soon at the Scenario Depot. http://www.dragonlair.net/combatmission/ Admiral Keith has them and I'm only waiting for him to post them. I'm not sure when he is going to do it. If they don't appear there, look for them soon on the B&T site. We are working on revising and livening up that area very soon. http://www.militarygameronline.com/combatmission/ The Battles to be Released after these first three are: Duel at Dompaire (French vs Germany) Real Guts (USA vs Germany) Resolve at Ranville (UK Paras vs Germany) Still to come We Can't Wait (USA vs Germany) Sounds in the Night (USA vs Germany) High Cost Real Estate (Canada vs Germany - Italy) The Kommerschiedt Crisis (USA vs Germany) And still later the two scenarios from the Unbalanced Tourney (people are still claiming "foul" and issuing subtle threats over these two - :eek: ) A Meeting of Devils (UK vs Germany - Sicily) Enough is Enough (USA vs Germany - Tunisia) So a lot is on the way. CMBO is alive and well and we hope to keep it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Keth Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 Already posted: Duel at Dompaire (French vs Germany) Real Guts (USA vs Germany) Resolve at Ranville (UK Paras vs Germany) They have a ROW - (Scenario Name) prefix, to denote they are part of the "Rumblings of War" scenario packs.

CombinedArms Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 As a Rumblings of War veteran, all I can say is --run and get these scenarios. They're intense CM combat at its best--plenty of surprises, challenges and grey hairs for both players. And much as we Rumblers sometimes complained about imbalances in the scenarios, most of them played out very evenly over twelve games, though with big wins either way in individual games. Resolve at Ranville, in particular, is a real test of tactical skill for either side. But they're all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTed Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 As a playtester for RoW, I highly recommend these scenarios. They provide a balance of fun and challenges. Go get 'em!

Buckeye Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 I also playtested these scenarios for WB before the ROW tourney, and I highly recommend them. They've been tweaked even more based on the ROW tourney players, to make them some of the best of the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bill Wilder Posted February 9, 2002 Author Share Posted February 9, 2002 Endorsements from men I highly respect in the CM gaming community. Thank you very much and thanks for the work you put in on them. I'll repeat what I've said so often. The quality of the testers nearly always determines the quality of the scenario.

JPS Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 Yep, Ranville is a true gem. My paratroopers sure had to earn their right to live on! Mind you, playing all these scenarios double-blind is highly adviced, so avoid the RoW scenario discussion thread for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WineCape Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 As a tourney organizer with Treeburst155, I thank Wild Bill, the Rumblings of War (RoW) scenario testers as well as the 24 combatants (you were all guinea pigs gentlemen! ) for making this one of the most successful tourneys that we have run. A lot of testing/playing hours as well as re-testing and balancing adjustments have gone into the RoW scenario's. They will be a boon to all CMBO players and can be recommended without reservation. But be careful, players tend to age very quickly while playing these RoW battles! Many thanks again gentlemen, Charl Theron -------------------- “Yes, and they went down very well too” -- Duke of Wellington, replying to the observation that the French cavalry had come up very well during the Battle of Waterloo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
