January 2017 - CW One Hell of a Good Scrap discussion thread - Michael Dorosh - 05-22-2017 I don't see a thread for discussing the January 2017 Scenario of the Month. I see Wellsonian reported our game, so I've done ahead and done so also. His assessment is that it is pro-Allied, and I did surrender after about 15 turns of 120 turns. However, I'm not convinced we gave it a fair trial so I've rated it 'well-balanced.' I know as a scenario designer I hated when I'd post something saying "head to head only" and then have some dufus review it after a solo play and pronounce it "not suitable for solo play". So without being *that dufus* I'll note that you have to really like monsters in order to play this one. A reinforced German battalion attacking 8 different objective locations for 120 turns is going to be a huge investment of time. Not sure, then, that this was really a great choice for scenario of the month - in order to play it in a month, you'd have to do 4 turns a day every day to get it done before the next scenario of the month. And with an entire reinforced battalion to command (attacking over open farmland, no less) that's a huge investment. Good luck to those that stick with it - is anyone else anywhere close to finishing their playthrough? My surrender was indicative of my unwillingness to commit to a game this big, also my poor play early - takes far more coordination to get that whole battalion forward and doing something useful than I was willing and/or able to do. Would be very interested, though, in seeing any German success stories and learning what you did that I obviously missed doing. RE: January 2017 - CW One Hell of a Good Scrap discussion thread - A Canadian Cat - 05-23-2017 Ahhhh, if you didn't want to play such a long game why did you sign up? We choose a varied sizes for the scenario of the month so people can choose what they want to play. We get that not everyone likes a big game but some do. Please do not sign up for a game you don't want to play. Oh and just so everyone is clear there is absolutely no expectation that the scenario of the month will be played in a month. yikes! That would nearly never work. Play what you want, skip what you don't and have fun. That's the goal.
