Snarker Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 BFC and beta testers - the game is out, so - what are your personal favorites and why? Small battle, armor, combined, infantry, overall? Large battle (as above)? Operation from the Axis, Allied side? Best battle to showcase the new features of CMBB? Your favorite overall scenario?

Your favorite overall scenario?Not sure what you're asking with the first two... Operation from the Axis, Allied side? If you are asking which operation I liked the best, i'd have to say Magnuszew Bridgehead as the Germans Best battle to showcase the new features of CMBB? All of them Which changes are you interested in? Eberswalde Last Stand shows off how tanks aren't the boss of the battlefield any longer... that was one of the most important changes for me. Your favorite overall scenario? Damn, that's a tough question! I guess I'd have to go with Borisovka Station from either side [censored because Andreas said he'd kill me] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In QB's you have a choice in type of force - what would your favorite scenario be involving primarily armor forces or combined arms, etc? Which changes are you interested in? For example, what scenario best showcases optics differences? Which is best to highlight the changes in infantry tactics? Which scenario best shows the difference between Allied and Axis C&C for armor and ground-pounders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It winds up being combined armes, but without the artificial point limits. For example, what scenario best showcases optics differences? Which is best to highlight the changes in infantry tactics? Which scenario best shows the difference between Allied and Axis C&C for armor and ground-pounders?Optics... that's easy... Mobile Defense Infantry... not so easy, as there are several that illustrate different tactical problems for infantry. All require different thinking than CMBO. Some of these (by far not all) are: White Wave, Eberswalde Last stand, The Bridgeheads and Red Parachutes C&C... any of the early war scenarios show the problems the Russians had and the advantages C&C gives the Germans. Anything set in 41-43. 1943 is kind of a transition period with 44-45 being more like CMBO as far as C&C goes. All the scenarios set in these periods show off the C&C qualities as they are part of the engine and unavoidable. That being said, I'd say take a stab at playing the Russians in Tiger, Tiger and then play the Russians in Message from Goetz (you won't see a big change for the Germans in these. Btw, all my recommendations are for 2 player, not gainst the AI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snarker Posted September 24, 2002 Author Share Posted September 24, 2002 Thanks Berlichtingen. Will give those scenarios priority. Any other betas want to ponder this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
