Erik Springelkamp Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 This afternoon I started a quick battle in CMA that looked very promising: capture the centre of a small city on the far side of the map with a mech company, but the time for the battle was only 30 minutes, while I would have to work my way through at least four streets of large compound buildings, after an approach over open country. As city fighting takes its time - especially with the compounds, when you don't want to take terrible risks, I have rejected that battle. So, can you chose the duration of a battle in the new quick battle generator? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkEzra Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Don't worry: You'll be able to control the amount of time and you can have lots of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Springelkamp Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 Slightly off-topic here, but what determines the duration in of the battle in CMA? Is it the map, or is it generated? If it is the map, I could adapt this particular map (if I can find it). But if it is the map, then why did the designer allow so little time? In real life, who would give an order to take control of a city in half an hour? Maybe if one didn't expect any real resistance, but in the quick battle you know there will be a sizeable force. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Its very very hard to see in that video AAR, but in the QB picker screen you've got a pull-down box for game length with selections from 30 min to 2 hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
