FWWC France '14 scenario size modifier mistake?

[Almskaar]

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right place for this but... I just finished Miracle at the Marne scenario, which is in my opinion huge, and was looking at the other F'14 scenarios here in the data base and noticed that it is rated at size modifier 4. The scenarios that break down the Marne into parts are rated sm 4, which upon looking at one seems appropriate. Seems like the full Marne scenario should be rate much higher.

When the size modifiers for PzC scenarios were determined, the max size for a scenario of 30 turns was set at 4, no matter how big. Obviously that could be argued but that is what was determined, by whoever made decisions at that point, or joint discussions. But it was decades back and that applies to all PzC scenarios from the first to the last. So it won't be changed now, I would expect. The ladder would not recalculate points for already reported games, so it would not be fair to those already reported with the current points.

Thank you for clarifying

What determines the size modifier (which in turn determines how many points you receive) is shown in the chart below, the number of turns and the number of units (size of file in KB) dictates the size modifier number.

Because the scenario you played fell into the 21 to 50 turns line then the maximum size modifier is 4 regardless of the file size.

As Rick says this table has determined the size modifier for the last 27 years and the logic behind it predates my time at the club, so like Rick I cannot cast any light onto the decisions that lay behind its creation.
