FJ Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 Im surprised nobody responded to my post asking feedback on balanced scenarios for pbem...I thought this was a area to talk about scenarios...anyway I think chambois my be a good possibility for a large balanced scenario...I would like to find a few more large scenarios that are balanced. IMHO I think there is more quanity then quality in alot of the scenarios out there...I would be nice to really know peoples experience with some of these scenarios, so we can have a good idea which ones are worth playing..

JoePrivate Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 I guess because each has their own preference or favourite 'setting', what may be the greatest for you is mediocre for another. There are a lot out there, many of which I haven't played, however South of Sword, Meyer's Wrath, Epsom Counterattack and L'Elle River Crossing were all balanced(pbem), fairly large and enjoyable scenarios.

Among themselves they know what scenarios are good, but spend their time PLAYING CM not writing about the quality of the scenarios here. Also, I suspect that the majority of PBEM/TCP games are "quick battle". On another thought, sometimes the best game play comes from an unbalanced scenario and after all real war is not balanced. Lady luck has a lot to contribute to war and war gaming. gp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bill Wilder Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 This question has been asked before and answered in some detail, FJ. I can only speak for my own designs but I would suggest: A Second Job Bridgehead at Benicourt (Be advised this is more an advance defend scenario rather than a meeting engagement) Chambois Elsdorf-revised Aachen Wiltz Keeping Nimtz Alive Far from Over - Paderborn Maastricht - A Tough Tanker These can be found either in the game or on various CM supports sites, including Manx's and Colin's pages. And of course, CMHQ http://combathq.thegamers.net http://www.combatmissions.co.uk/ http://cm4mac.tripod.com/ Wild Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJ Posted January 10, 2001 Author Share Posted January 10, 2001 Wow, I wasnt aware there were special CM "Groups" of players in our mist...I think Im getting a little burnt out playing PBEM Quick battles with no rarity restrictions on armor vehicles making the battle non historical...So I thought sharing this info would be good for people who want to play some historical and well thought out scenarios...Thanks everybody for the feedback so far, Im looking forward to checking out some the recomendations...BTW where are south of sword, myers and epsom scenarios located?

Wild Bill Wilder Posted January 11, 2001 Share Posted January 11, 2001 South of Sword should be on your CD. Meyer's Wrath can be found at the sites I listed above for you. Can't say about Epsom. You might want to get the fine scenario/oerations list done by Craig Harvey, which gives a good resume of each scenario and where it might be found. You can get this at the Boots N Tracks section of the Wild Bill's Raiders page. http://wbr.thegamers.net WB ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
