Question on victory conditions - ES scenario - Alpha Zwo - 07-30-2008 Landser34 and me were playing the ES scenario "Clash on the Skyline" and wondered why the game starts with a German Major Victory as they were supposed to attack the town and seize the objectives. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Tom RE: Question on victory conditions - ES scenario - Ozgur Budak - 07-30-2008 Thats a designer choice. He expects high German casualties and tried to compansate it with favourable victory conditions. Not a good choice I must say though. Some gamey minded players might decide not to assault. RE: Question on victory conditions - ES scenario - Dazooz - 07-30-2008 I remember this being a problem in a number of scenarios in ES. It would be nice if scenario designers would update with new victory conditions and release new scenario versions, but I don't know how likely that is! :) If playing an opponent via pbem, I suggest playing "mirrored" games so that you both have an opportunity to attack/defend. RE: Question on victory conditions - ES scenario - Alpha Zwo - 07-31-2008 Thanks for your input. Mirror games are exactly what we are currently doing :happy: Tom RE: Question on victory conditions - ES scenario - Dazooz - 07-31-2008 Indeed we are Tom! But ours didn't have the above problem! :) RE: Question on victory conditions - ES scenario - Alpha Zwo - 07-31-2008 I know, Jason. I was rather talking about Landser34 and me.:P RE: Question on victory conditions - ES scenario - TheBigRedOne - 07-31-2008 I think most of the guys you'll find here will not utilize these 'gamey' type tactics, but Oz is correct, it's not a good way to score a game. There's no real incentive for the attacker to go full bore at the objectives.
