Matt the Paladin Posted November 30, 2000 Share Posted November 30, 2000 If anybody ever gets bored of doing relatively normal scenarios, try making something like this. 1) An army of flamethrowers vs. another army of flamethrowers. 2) Only officer units, 3) Only units that can't run. 4) Arty Spotters vs. Mortars. 5) WW1-esque, Only the lightest armor, no high-power artillery. 6) Tanks vs. bazookas and PIATs. 7) An all tank scenario in hilly terrain and deep mud. If anyone else can think of something stranger, reply. ------------------ "War is like a cat, it is easy to let out of the bag, but hard as hell to put back in!" -Me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disaster@work Posted November 30, 2000 Share Posted November 30, 2000 One of these days I will replicate a Myth map and substitute dwarfs with mortar crews. The motars/dwarfs will be on top of a steep slope. At the bottom will be multiple riflemen who have to climb the slope in order to reach the top. The trick is making the slope steep enough that it is a challenge for the riflemen to get to the top, but not so steep that the mortar crews can't see where to target.

Bullethead Posted December 1, 2000 Share Posted December 1, 2000 I have made the following "whacky" scenarios (I prefer doing this to historical ones). 1. Myth-inspired Scenario This is based on the Myth game type LMOTH and the Myth map "For Carnage Apply Within". The objective is to own the flag in the crater of a large volcano at the end of the game. The volcano itself naturally blocks LOS to enemy units on the other side of it, leading to point-blank slugfests in the crater. And to simulate more than 2 players and some of them camping, both sides get reinforcements on all sides of the map at different points, so they come in behind enemy forces already on the map. 2. Figure-8 Race This is a race of 8 US vs. 8 German trucks on a figure-8 track. Both sides also start with some 81mm mortars with only smoke ammo. After a few turns, each side gets a bunch of snipers in the grandstands surrounding the track, to shoot at enemy trucks and each other. The object is to have the last operational truck. But killing trucks is a 2-edged sword because crews are the most powerful units in the game 3. Cross Country Race This map is long and narrow. Both forces have a dozen armored cars starting at the same end, separated by a high ridge so they can't immediately shoot each other. The winner is the one who first gets a mobile armored car to the victory flag at the far end of the map. The cars must traverse all types of terrain, from rolling plains to forests to long bridges to a village. Both sides have an FO, some mines to block some of the paths, plus infantry to set up ambushes in the village. And after a few turns, some jabos appear as wildcards. If anybody's interested in testing any of these, let me know. The only condition is, you MUST give me feedback. ------------------ -Bullethead In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is strength, in water there is bacteria.

Wild Bill Wilder Posted December 4, 2000 Share Posted December 4, 2000 Whacky indeed, but kinda cool too. Love the maze. Reminds me of "The Shining."

Doug Beman Posted December 8, 2000 Share Posted December 8, 2000 You people are sick. But, for the record, I think it would be cool to build a giant Ziggurat and have different units race up to the point. Or build two, side by side, and have Allies on one and Germans on the other. First one to the top of theirs gets X points; killing enemy units is worth points too. DjB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

109 Gustav Posted December 12, 2000 Share Posted December 12, 2000 I'm working on a game of football. The Reisburg Hellcats vs. the Plomville Tigers. Hedges make a great gridiron, but the game will probably be boring, as it's mostly just a flat field. 105mm howitzers are the quarterbacks, armored cars for running backs, and flamethrowers cheer the players on. I've almost got it done. ------------------ Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat. But if somehow my skiff goes down, I'll freeze to death before I drown.
