Some thoughts after 2 weeks play

[z1812]

Hi all,

I am reflecting upon my enjoyment of CMSF over the last two weeks and considering what design choices I liked from the old CMX1 that did not make it into CMSF as well as some other items I would enjoy.

I really miss the ability to build my own Quick Battles by choosing units. I know it is not realistic but it was great fun and after all this is a game meant to entertain.

CMX1 is able to satisfy Grog and Dabbler alike. That along with the game designs great flexibility are at the core of its popularity in my view.

I am aware it is early days and certainly the full patch cycle will need some time to run its course. Perhaps somewhere along the way cherry picking will find its way back into the quick battle design.

Another item is the clock for wego. I was wondering if it may benefit from being more flexible. Say a setting of 30 as well as 60.

I have found ToW to be much more fun and manageable since the last patch allowed for a slower, normal or faster resolution time for RT. I wonder if that may also find its way into CMSF.

Finally it would be nice to have the wego option for TCP play.

I find the option to use Real Time or Wego quite satisfying. I love having that option. Whatever changes Battlefont may or may not make CMSF will be on my hard drive for a long time.

Regards John
