Point Values

[Mike Abberton]

Without scenarios, CS does not exist. At present, on the Database there are 700+ WF, 600- EF and 200- RS. Total around 1500.
About 40 EF, 25 WF ,and 0 RS are marked with * or **, showing, I understand, known compatibility with JTCS. I believe a majority of the rest is playable. Whether they are any good is another matter, and in any event at least partly subjective. If they are technically playable, of what consequence is it that they do not use all the new stuff?

Abandoning this wonderful resource would really be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

I am not necessarily talking about abandoning CS completely (i.e. not sell it anymore, or patch it for new operating systems). What I am talking about is trying to add things that are out of scope for the game engine or forever tweaking things that might fix things going forward but makes old scenarios unplayable.

CS in its same basic form has existed for a long time. The latest JTCS upgrade gave it a little boost, particularly to run under Vista and made some changes to increase its legs a little. But to me, it seems like CS is really getting ready to enjoy an active semi-active retirement. One where many people still enjoy it as it is and hopefully still will for some years to come. But not a retirement that starts trying to change what it is, like the naval units and bombers, or trying to completely revamp the points system.

Again just my thoughts.
