Playtesters Needed

[CptCav]

I have a NGP campaign scenario that needs to be playtested. It is a hypothetical battle between American and Soviet forces set in July 1945.

It is 70 turns. It uses sticky ZOC's (a ZOC exists, but an unit can move from one enemy controlled ZOC to another once per turn). Combat values have been changed with artillery units able to inflict significant damage (to make up for the Russian hordes). There is a text file listing the changes and giving some explanations as to the changes.

The battle area is in East Germany along the Elbe, which appears to have the least amount of urban growth over the years and allows a fairly close representation of what it probably was in 1945.

As the scenario is large, I am sure that it will require tweaking to get it play-balanced. Also, it is primarily an infantry battle based on the end of war deployments seen in the map area represented.

Here is the scenario description:
At the end of World War II, the Allies and Soviets were left facing each other suspiciously along the Elbe. Churchill convinces Truman not to immediately demobilize the American forces in Europe nor pull back from their current occupied territories based on his (correct) belief that Stalin has no intention of living up to his agreements to allow Poland and other nations under Soviet control to freely decide their futures. Stalin is furious! Russian units start sniping at Allied forces and occassionally there is a raid and an exchange of artillery. Allied intelligence reports a build up of Soviet supplies all along the front. Soviet units are redeploying and massing in certain areas. It appears that Uncle Joe is preparing to decide the issue by force. The US XIII Corps stands opposite the 61st Russian and 1st Polish Armies, which means that it is one of the lucky corps that is not in a sector for the main effort of the coming Soviet offensive. Still, can it hold back the Soviet on-slaught? [This scenario is designed for head-to-head play.]

If you are interested in playtesting this scenario, please post your interest in this thread.

Thank you,

Guys,
When Mark put up a poll about this there was quite a bit of interest, so we need those players to help us test this to see if it is good enough for the approved list :soap:

I know there are plenty of MC fans out there..........

OK, I´m on board.
