Triple Digit Club

[MichalS]

I played 10 (out of my 84 games in total so far).

 

[Spencer Armstrong]

I count 31 but might have played 32. I'll know if I look at the scenario but generally the nams don't stick.
Of these, I have fond memeories of Brioch Bash and Wintergerwitter. Both are scenraios I'd play at the drop of a hat.

To the play list! They are 2/6 I haven't played!

 

[Honza]

I played 10 (out of my 84 games in total so far).

I see you are Slovakian. I was born in Prague when the country was still Czechoslovakia....we left in '68 (for obvious reasons).

 

[JR Brackin]

i have played about 22 of these scenarios - most of them long long ago.

 

[Michael R]

I remember playing all of the ASL ones and none of the SL ones.

 

[Craig Benn]

Out of curiosity what's the most played 3rd party scenarios?

Oh.....25 I think. Maybe 1 or 2 more. Some of these oldies were brilliant, some awful.

 

[bprobst]

Out of curiosity what's the most played 3rd party scenarios?

As per my post above, probably "Acts of Defiance" and "Totsugeki".

"Abandon Ship" is right up there.

Abandon Ship [WCW5]	American	82	German	84
Abandon Ship [G44]	German	14	American	14
Abandon Ship! [193]	American	8	German	8

So is "About His Shadowy Sides"

About His Shadowy Sides [FrF19]	German	61	Russian	47
About his Shadowy Sides [BoF4]	German	18	Russian	14

... and that's about all I can manage with a very quick look at the scenario list. My ROAR-fu is inadequate to give a more comprehensive answer.

Or do you mean "most played 3rd party scenarios that were not republished by TAHGC/MMP"? I don't think you looked very hard if you only saw a few with 25 playings or more. Without even looking it up, there must be a bunch of Schwerpunkt scenarios, at least, that can easily better that; probably a few Friendly Fire scenarios too.

 

[RobZagnut]

30.

Have played Gavin Take 8 times. Defiance on Hill 30, Silence that Gun, and Zon with the Wind 6 times each, because they’re awesome beginners scenarios and perfect for teaching new players.

Many of the others at least 4-5 times each, because of tournament play; Totsugeki, Acts of Defiance, Le Herrison, Bread Factory #2, etc. Not a lot of tourney scenarios available back in the day. But on the other hand, we all spoke the same language because we all had played the same scenarios and were familiar with them, so we could talk tactics and placement of units. Good old days...

 

[JAGgamer]

Played 7. Those scenarios have been played so much that it is difficult to find someone who will go back and replay those classics.

From What I have been able to determine the most played 3rd party scenario is WCW 7 Eye Of The Tiger with 287 recorded playings on ROAR. Interesting to note that out of that small pack 3 of those scenarios have over a hundred playings. From what I could glean other than the WCW pack, only Schwerpunkt and Friendly Fire have TPP scenarios that are recorded with over a hundred recorded playing on ROAR (I came up with 18 total).

Coming across your name I was wondering, Honza! Have you ever visited Prague after that?

 

[Honza]

Yes I went back to Czechoslovakia to visit my grandparents and other family. Once before it was liberated and several times afterward. But I now have chronic fatigue syndrome and don't travel at all.

 

[MichalS]

Sorry to hear that! But nice that you managed to keep contact with the family.

In Czechia ASL got going in 2013 with a community of about 10 players. In Slovakia 2 to 3 players started dabbling into the Starter Kits around 2016, but a community has not developed. I seem to be the first full ASL player here, now there's four of us and perhaps 2 more SK players. I play some of the Czech guys as well as other guys in the Central European region occasionally as well. This year I started attending tournaments and playing VASL with a wider range of people extensively.

I'm lucky that our group has a good influx of newer players as well as vets who will ask me what I want to play and oftentimes indulge me.

The WCW pack was really a fantastic product and ahead of its time.

I suspect that Will to Fight...Eradicated would have gotten even more playings were it not for it getting kind of screwed up when it when it was republished officially.

 

[pensatl1962]

16 of them. Probably over at least a 16-year period!
+1 for the WCW pack!

 

[Michael R]

I whole-heartedly agree; WCW pack is one of the best scenario packs ever made.

I am unaware of any issues with the reprint. What are they?

 

[Spencer Armstrong]

For historical reasons, they dropped the Polish LMGs and gave them Assault Fire (or something very like that, not pulling cards). The impression was that they did it late in the game without any additional playtesting. Louie Tokarz (designer of the scenario) was pretty famously furious about it. It certainly changes how the scenario plays.

Hey! I resemble that remark.

5 for me. In two years time

I missed this: WCW 7 Eye of the Tiger is indeed the only TPP scenario in the club. 126 German 161 Russian.
