Checking out the many good stock scenarios in the Scenario Database, noticed
just how many of them been hardly played.
Here's one for an example; "Chaos in the Ardennes."
Played twice, both games resulting in a victory for the German side.
Problem obviously is, an unbalanced scenario.

My idea is to remake such scenarios, with a few changes to the weaker side
of course and up load them to H2H for official play testing next.
My question is, would it be legal to do, to a Stock Scenario?
Original title would be slightly changed with a simple ad on word like
"revised, rebalanced or upgraded, etc.. :-)
Would this be acceptable by H2H rules also?

Yes as long as you slightly change the title by adding "Alternate" or "H2H" or "Balanced" etc and add some text explaining this is a Approved scenario to the briefing/description as you suggest, that will be fine! :)

Thanks Foul!
I'll even pre test them at least once before up loading to H2H.
Like to design custom scenarios myself. Only don't have the time to research all of the necessary info on historical forces make up and maps. Maps are te most difficult to do realistaically, going back sixty years plus, etc.
As for the Stock Scenarios all of the above has been done for me.. :-)
All needed is some changes, minor in most cases and lastly run them through H2H.
With just a little bit of trouble on my part and some willing play testers, a new life given to an otherwize dead scenario.. :-)

I think that is a good idea, might do a couple of those myself.

Just to fill you in, this is what we do over at OPS, we take a stock scenario designed for play against the AI and change the victory conditions for human to human play, in that way you end up with the stock version for AI play and the H2H version for PBEM! :)

Having said that balancing a game for human to human play with all the cunning variables a human mind can dream up can be tricky! :chin:
