Some early results from "HSG AM First Clash," 6 games reported in.
Allies:
Major- 1
Axis:
Major- 2
Minor- 3
:hmmm: Seems the Axis have a strong upper hand in this one. :crosseye:
Check the CM tourney page for individual results.
WHAT??!!! Even with all of my excellent tutoring?!!
That is interesting. During playtest BOTH sides complained bitterly about this scenario being unbalanced in the OTHER SIDES FAVOR!!! It was quite funny actually but very hard to balance that way.
The results are actually historical since the Romanians did win this fight but I would have thought that the Soviet gamers could have done better in six games than to only win one of them. I'm assuming that the big difference in the games played here and our playtests is tactics. These scenarios were playtested using veteran gamers and it is hard to determine what inexperienced gamers will do. Or how a scenario, or QB, will play between a group of gamers at any level.
In any event, I'm surprised to see the dominance by the Axis gamers here. I would have though that the more experienced gamer should be Axis in this scenario, with the harder task to win, being placed on the Axis gamer. That, of course, depends on what the Allied gamer does....
Very interesting.
Good Hunting.
