Greetings gentlemen,

The CMx2 Blitz ladder is testing each month a couple of scenarios. The goal is to determine how well balanced they are for H2H play. Here are the scenarios tested this month.

CMBN: MG Lonsdale's Block

CMFI: GL The Keep of Majella

* You will need the Market Garden module for MG Lonsdale's Block and Gustav Line for GL The Keep of Majella

If interested,please post here specifying which of the above scenarios you wish to playtest.

The testing will work like this:

1) You can sign-up to playtest any of the monthly scenarios and there is no limit of the number of scenarios you can play. You can sign-up to test one or both scenarios.

2) Your opponent and the side you'll play on will be randomly decided.

3) The game will count as an on-ladder game and will be reported just like a regular game unless you otherwise agree with your opponent. [the options are: report it as a ladder game,report it as a non-ladder game, don't report it]

4) At the end of each scenario you test, you will be asked to rate how well balanced and entertaining the scenario was.

5) You will receive a 30 pts bonus for each scenario you playtest irregardless of the final outcome of the battle.

The allied player is the one who will start the setup and send the first turn to his axis opponent.
The games are to be played using 'Iron' as skill level,unless otherwise agreed.

Some other considerations to know, for those of you less familiarized with the required Blitz etiquette/house rules that will be used.

Pre-planned artillery strikes are not allowed if you're the defender, due to the small setup zones. It is however, allowed if you're playing with the attacking side.
If you can't play for an extended period of time due to vacations, holidays, real-life issues etc., please let your opponent know about it.

You can view your opponent's profile either by clicking on this name in a forum post/ladder or by going to the Members page and searching for his username using the bottom form:
https://www.theblitz.club/members/

You can contact your opponent in two different ways...
1) By sending him a private message (PM)
2) By sending him an email using the site's interface

I'm in for the CMBN one (MG Lonsdale's Block) please.

Are there no CMBS or CMRT scenarios this month? - pure curiosity I don't own either (yet).

We are going to try two per month for a while and see how that goes. A little less overhead for us but more importantly hopefully it will also get a few more people playing each scenario - which is one of the main goals.
