Sitting Duck Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Hello - Is is possible to show "Battle Size" in the repository? Even better, would it be possible to allow sorting based on "Battle Size" in the repository? FWIW - I generally only play Tiny or Small battles. So it would be nice to be able to filter or sort based on battle size. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger33 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I agree, this would be very helpful. CMx1 games all listed the size of the battle when you were selecting them, but it's pretty much a guessing game now. Another thing would be sorting campaigns from scenarios. I know for CMSF there are at least a dozen user made campaigns, but good luck finding them if you don't know the names already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcelt Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I agree the sorting by battle size or at least key info re battle size would be extremely helpful in sifting likely choices without having to d/l all battles before discovering their size . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 The problem comes with defining 'small'. For some people company(-) size is small, for others a single platoon is small. For others its two opposing tanks on a big map. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcelt Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Surely they could be roughly defined by those very terms platoon platoon---company company company -battalion We dont expect precise definitions but rough guidelines so we know roughly the battle size involved. For many this is a very important reason for choice of which battles to d/l and would prevent a great deal of d/loading and then deleting inappropriate ones.

For others its two opposing tanks on a big map. That doesn't seem like a problem to me. Pick something arbitrary - it doesn't matter because it would be better than the current state. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Savage Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I play realtime only and big battles (over two companies) are hard to play. I too play smaller scenarios. Often platoon or two size battles are the most fun to play. Of course this is a matter or taste. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I too would find it useful if the battle size was listed. What was the criteria in CM1? That seemed to work OK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sitting Duck Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 There must be some criteria used by scenario creators now, yes? How do they decide how many "soldiers" to show when you select a scenario in the Battle interface? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For others its two opposing tanks on a big map. And because you have no answer to the problem, then the problem should persist? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
