‘Best’ large scenario?

[Vic Provost]

Hey Vic,

I will be playing this Thursday at Nor'easter as part of a team game with Jim Povey, Mike Sprague and Paul Anderson.......... Stop by and have a peek.

Rob

Sounds like a plan, I know Ron wants to play me in it as well.

 

[Honza]

Yes. American vs German June, 4, 1944.

If I'm not mistaken Rome was liberated on the 6th June. The day of the Normandy landings, a therefore totally overshadowed.

I didn’t have the scenario handy. Made a best estimate.

Rome was taken in a day. June 4, 1944.

Thanks for the clarification.

Mark Clark was most unhappy about the Normandy landings, as it upstaged his(?) capture of Rome.
"They didn't give us a day."

Parker’s Crossroads is probably the biggest non-HASL I have experienced. I don’t think it was really the best way to learn large forces. I would rather have a long map that made me consider how and where to defend.

Even better would be to play more large maps with fewer units on them. Not the same as that, but for me, desert scenarios and Flying Turrets call my name because of finally a chance for long range fire

 

[Honza]

I enjoyed Parker's Crossroads - and won as the attacking Germans.

 

[ParaMarine]

Not a bad time at all, just a little too Verdun if you know what I mean. I’m down with some grinds every now and then, but what I really want out of a geographically large scenario is more maneuver.

Try attacking as the Russians in The Ring from the first Action Pack.

 

[ParaMarine]

Okay I will give that one a try

 

[Faded 8-1]

The Ring is nuts.

 

[Honza]

It has some errata. I think you will find it on the MMP website. Or maybe the free download of the scenario from MMP has been updated?

 

[Honza]

The Ring is nuts.

In a good way?

 

[ParaMarine]

Scenario errata has always been a thing I haven’t really sought out. I buy updated editions of things like Doomed Battalions so I can have the improved versions of those scenarios for balance.

Some others are impossible to balance. Specifically Italians. I have played many many of them. Probably more than either type of minors. The only well balanced ones are actually in ASLSK. I will accept errata if they release a major overhaul of Italians and give them some good units reflecting the actual quality of more committed units like the San Marcos Marines or the RSI.
