TinMan Posted June 23, 2001 Share Posted June 23, 2001 Looking for some challenging scenarios that can be played by one person against the AI that has plenty of surprises. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Also I would like to see if anybody might like to try a pbem or TCP/IP game. Never tried it so I don't know what to expect or how it really works. I've only ever played hotseat with a buddy.(and frankly he's not much interested in strategy games and sucks at it to boot!). Oh I have a crappy dial-up connection so I'm not sure if this affects play much or not. Thanks for any and all replies. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaldaen Posted June 23, 2001 Share Posted June 23, 2001 I've got a tiny scenario that you might enjoy, it is still in playtesting so there are no briefings, but I'd love to get some more feedback... thus far the majority of people who have played it have 1) enjoyed it and 2) fought to a draw... Just post here if you want me to send it to you -Jaldaen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Johnson-- Posted June 27, 2001 Share Posted June 27, 2001 I've got a large operation where you take on a huge force of British tanks and Infantry. You have to hold them off with a small company of Tiger tanks. You have to try and hold on to a strongpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaldaen Posted June 27, 2001 Share Posted June 27, 2001 Hey Tin Man you can pick it up from this site: http://www.geocities.com/scenario_archive/playtest.html Look for the Beyond Bolero scenario. Allied is the side you want to play and thanks, Jaldaen PS- Feel free to give me a AAR on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Bill<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I was just going to recommend Wild Bill Wilder's scenarios, since he's the acknowledged past-master of surprise in CM scenario design. Some of his really surprising scenarios are on the CD, like Bridgehead at Bennicourt and Elsdorf . Others, like "Relieving the Rangers," "Melee at Marvie," "Far From Over--Paderborn" and the hair-raising "The Wrong Hill," are also terrific and available at most of the major CM sites, including those mentioned above. In WBW scenarios, expect exciting armored clashes with reinforcements arriving for both sides at surprising moments and from unpredictable angles. Rune's scenarios are also well worth checking out if you like surprises (or think you do!) [ 06-28-2001: Message edited by: CombinedArms ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bill Wilder Posted July 3, 2001 Share Posted July 3, 2001 Thank you kindly, Combined Arms. The ones you mentioned have been some of my favorites too. I had a good feeling from the get-go about them. That is always a good sign. But the endorsement is very much appreciated. And yes, Rune's work is top notch!
