Type of scenario

[Mike Abberton]

Most Challenging - Armor heavy engagements where the other side has a marked material edge (e.g. early war German armor vs. T-34s/KVs or late 43 T-34-76s/KV vs. Panthers/Tigers)

Least Challenging - Overwhelming force against a static defense

Ideal Scenario - A scenario where both sides have an active chance to influence the outcome. That doesn't have to be a meeting engagement, but in an attack/defense situtation, the defender should have some ability counter-attack, choose where to defend, etc.

Historical scenario rebuttal - First let me say that I like historical scenarios, but I don't completely agree that "every" historical battle can be balanced by choosing the correct victory levels. Or more accurately, they can probably be balanced, but are they going to be enjoyable? Not by me. I don't really want to spend 20 turns getting ground down by a vastly superior force while inflicting minimal return damage but getting a draw because my opponent "only" scored 2,000 points instead of 2,200. That is something of an exaggeration, but not a wild one. I understand that this would be my personal preference only, and that some people would find this scenario very interesting. To each his own.
