Budenniy Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Got a question about a particular Scenario i play in CMSF with marines module (dunno if this is relivant since scenario exists in original too). By the description of it i had the feeling that this is pretty balanced scenario perfect for short multiplayer.... Yet it is not. perhaps i'm missing some important point about the game but in a meeting engagement with relatively similar tactical possibilities for both sides (both sides start at opposite corners of map and need to capture 3 "towns" in the "middle" and the "free corners" and more or less similar goals (the acceptable friend/desired foe casualities bonuses are a bit different but not Drastically so for both blue and red) So how is it fun to play if Syrians get noticible less forces my estimation that US has about 140- 150% Numerical advantage in this map (americans get 14 bradleys /w infantry while Syrians get 10!!! bmp 1 !!) crap as syrian equipment goes this is just silly. Unless again i'm missing something drastic about this game i just don't get it how syr4ians supposed to present a challange or bbe able to be fun to play in the scenario "Trident Valley" Is that a scenario balance bug (like the desiner mixed up and gave wrong side the numbers) or am I missing something alltogether. This bothers me seriously as this is a good map to play 1v1 quickly and the setup just makes it like taking candy from a baby for US.... I'll try editing it to give the better balance overall but if anyone have same problem or can explain to me what am i missing here please do so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcrof Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I tried playing syrians vs AI and got pasted. You are right, regular syrian troops in BMP-1's against a larger veterin force in Bradleys does not make a fair battle. I just gave up and havn't tried it again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Field Marshal Blücher Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 This scenario is a good one for a rookie to play against the AI, but not for much more than that. There are a couple like it in the stock scenarios. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dima Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 If anyone wants to modify the scenario and replace BMP-1's with BMP-3's it'll be interesting results. Any volunteers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
