Balanced Campaign Scenarios?

[Mr Grumpy]

Regarding the previous comments:


2)  Agree with ComradeP that the FWWC campaigns are hands down the most balanced (and interesting) or any game series offered by WDS.  Ed William's abilities as a player and a designer are key to this.  It's rare that a person is both a highly skilled designer, and a highly skilled player.  The CGs in the FWWC games, unlike most titles, are actually play tested and played H2H I might add.

Yes that is correct, all Ed’s titles are developed with H2H as the primary focus, we play test the campaigns as far is possible during development and often these scenarios are played to completion post release in which case any H2H balance issues discovered would be fixed the next time the title is updated.

Of course the downside to this is it does increase the time each title takes to get to release, but personally I feel that trade off is more than justified.

You can of course still play the scenarios against the AI, but I personally have no experience of trying that being only interested in playing H2H.
