Wish List!

[Strela]

Kool Kat brings up some really good points.

While preparing the Gold updates I realised how much great gaming there is in these titles. There is a lot of subtlety in many of the scenarios and the designers have really tried to understand the historical situation and then put the player in the same position.

Having designed a number of them myself (Kharkov '43 & Moscow '42) I know how many cool little scenarios there are, yet players have missed trying the bulk of them.

Same thing in Panzer Battles. I can tell you the Bluecoat scenario in Normandy is one of the best gaming experiences I have had for a long time. Dog Soldier & I probably play tested its various incarnations more than three times - and that's a multi-day scenario. Some of the changes such as variable victory points (by turn) that is coming in North Africa were the result of a wish list setup after playing Bluecoat. Brian also just completed a multi-player 'Longest Day' scenario covering the Normandy landings and it was gratifying to see how close to history the final result ended up.

So do follow lists like Kool Kat's where he calls out great scenarios and add some of your own critiques so other players can zero in on the gems....
