Brownie Posted November 27, 2000 Share Posted November 27, 2000 I was wondering what is the best. Just got done playing August Bank Holiday. Whew, lots of brewed up tanks. Also, played Clash of Giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wwb_99 Posted November 27, 2000 Share Posted November 27, 2000 A pretty cool one (at least for stress relief) is Meyer's Wrath, by Wild Bill. Play it as the Germans, its like shooting poles in a barrel. WWB ------------------ Ave, Caesar! Morituri te salatamus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted November 28, 2000 Share Posted November 28, 2000 I recommend "Bridgehead at Benicourt" and "Paderborn-far from over", both from Wild Bill (Go figure ). ------------------ Frag Hanoi Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinCheng+ Posted November 28, 2000 Share Posted November 28, 2000 My recommendation would add "Chambois" and "South to Sword". They are both on CD and are also by WBW ( go figure ) I tried some mentioned and they are pretty good! Griffin. ------------------ "+" is just the beginning. Expect to see "GriffinCheng76", "GriffinCheng(105)" or "GriffinChengA3E8" more should Forum problems occur again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bill Wilder Posted November 28, 2000 Share Posted November 28, 2000 Thank you gentlemen! I'm glad you have checked these out. Now if I may join in with a couple of more, Elsdorf - Tanks Only is an interesting encounter between Pershings and Tigers. Herrlieheim - Cut Off is another tank heavy one, this one an operation. The above are also at CMHQ - The scenario depot. On Madmatt's webpage (not in the depot, but on his web page), you'll find Maastricht-tanks only also. The other version has infantry added and is available at the same location. And I am sure that there are many others out there. ------------------ Wild Bill Lead Tester Scenario Design Team Combat Mission-Beyond Overlord billw@matrixgames.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyStrike Posted November 28, 2000 Share Posted November 28, 2000 Definitely take a look at Cintheaux-Totalize (by the Sturmgruppe), which is another treatment of the same battle as August Bank Holiday; its an epic tank battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wwb_99 Posted November 28, 2000 Share Posted November 28, 2000 August Bank Holiday is another huge tank-heavy scenario. You actually get to use the long-range gunnery of the German ubertanks. WWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinCheng+ Posted November 29, 2000 Share Posted November 29, 2000 "Since you peoople do not post where we can find these great scenarioes, thanks to the CM Scenario Database, they are located with real ease. Hats off to these people who make these great things for us!" -- Yes this is an ad. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI."

SteveS Posted November 30, 2000 Share Posted November 30, 2000 I've just finished August Bank Holiday, playing as the Allies v the AI. I really enjoyed playing it, but it was easier to gain a good victory than some scenarios for the following reason... x x x x x x Spoiler Space x x x x x x I moved over a dozen of my tanks into the large orchard (scattered trees) beside the main town. I placed them near the edges in a line just outside the LOS limit to the edge of the trees. As the German tanks lumbered past in groups of 4-6 I'd move my tanks on masse to the edge of the trees with a hunt command followed by an immediate reverse back to their original position. The result was that the German armour were slaughtered. No German units, infantry or armour, attempted to enter the trees. The scenario could probably be made more challenging for the Allies v the AI if this was somehow adjusted. One other point which didn't help the AI was that there was bottleneck through which a lot of the German armour tried to pass and a single well placed AT gun covering this destroyed 9 tanks. I guess the point is that the AI is better on the defence as usual, so the scenario is probably better played as the Germans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franko Posted December 10, 2000 Share Posted December 10, 2000 To SteveS * SPOILER** * * * * * * * * Steve, I designed August Bank Holiday..and congratulations..you did what the British did, pretty much, to win the battle. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveS Posted December 11, 2000 Share Posted December 11, 2000 One other factor that you might want to look at is that the Polish reinforcements arrived quite early in the scenario, around turn 8 or 9 so as I recall. You might consider tweaking it so that they tend to arrive a bit later. As it turned out they caught most of the AI's infantry out in the open and gave them a right mauling. As I said though, great fun to play. Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
