Point Values

[Valor]

The point system gentlemen, "is broken", and that was & is my only issue. CS is a great game. Some scenario designers have done an excellent job at creating challenging and relatively fair scenarios. Others have done a very, very, poor job at designing scenarios, and I scratch my head, trying to understand what the designer was thinking about.

Greg,

Designing scenarios is something like art. One are better on that than the other. That's the answer to your question. Not the "broken" point value system.

Even if you start revamping the points assigned to each units, after some time there will be still the same percentage of "good" and "bad" scenarios. It will be still up to the designer to do the job.

As beginner in the scenario designing, am I for making scenario designing easier? Not necessarily. It looks for me like trying to define programming code that help writers write novels. Will be there more interesting books because of that? I doubt.

As I said, some people have it, some don't. Some are still looking. And there is nothing to do with the point value system.

There is no sense to compare units value of Polish infantry of 39 and German of 44. As Jason said previously, they have no chance to meet each other.

We can question whether the Volksgrenadiers are much better than line infantry or not. We can argue whether "cost" of 3 VP for trucks* is valid or not but it doesn't mean that all values must be changed.

All the best

* 3 VP for trucks influences the pre-1.03 scenarios (or 1.02? :chin: ) in the way that now trucks can carry twice the strength of infantry as previously. So for transporting infantry platoon you needed 6 VP unit (6SP trucks x 1 VP = 6), now you need 9 VP unit (3SP x 3 VP = 9). Adding bigger defense value of motor transport makes sense to me. :smoke:
