Very true Cam! :)

In fact, all of my test games versus Erik... were performed with EA = ON.

I did not say anyone did or even would.
I put it in a disclaimer based on the past history of some members.
You read more into it than I meant?

Where we differ is I see 3 Allied wins and 1 Axis win against relatively equal opponents. It's in the stats.

And, EA on is a factor. Sad but true.
The description states "[All: Optional EA: No VV]". If EA was such a factor (or could be the factor in balance) maybe it should be EA - ON?
If I remember correctly we were told that the final play tests with Kool Kat and Hawk were with EA on?
EA is such a game changer that, if not designed properly, the scenario can be grossly effected by not having it on? Players should be warned to use it?

I think that EA is such a game changer that unless it can be shown when a scenario is played with it, on or off, all the scenario data will be moot.

That is correct all of the playtesting I did was with EA on.

So my comments with regards to balance are with that factored in.

Thanx!

Hawk

Many thanks to all players who contributed to this thread! Cheers3

I guess we all just need to wait for more game results to be recorded? Idea2

Is this an attempt to stifle discourse on the subject of whether your scenario is balanced using EA on or not? Dont Know
How about having some of the players who have reported the game let us know if EA was on or not?

If other results do not show if EA was used or not what do you, or will you, discern from any posted result? Read

I can transport a car across country on a flatbed and then drive it a few miles to my destination. But, I cannot claim the car got 5000 miles to the gallon if I calculate all the miles, including the miles during the time it was on the flatbed? Confused
