Reconnaisance vehicles such as motorcycles or armored cars

Smoke & Engineers

9. Would you be less likely to enjoy games with wagon transport?

No

No, fixed units allow the scenario designer to control the tempo of the battle to shape it...

Historical Situations

12. What is your preference regarding the scenario’s historical background?

Rather have playable and balanced scenarios that are less historical. I enjoy a good scenario, historical or not... however, it should have some basis is reality in that the scenario makes historical and military sense as well as every German tank isn't a Panther or a King Tiger...

13. Do you like to have many historical officers in the scenario? Choose one.

Officers at all levels to include NCOs and/or historical medal winners. (Panzer Aces); however, please avoid overkill...
