Type of scenario

[Huib Versloot]

As for myself a good Large Scenario where tactics count.I agree with Mike above being historical doesnt mean its good unless its fairly evenly balanced and not by v-points.One example comes to mind Mt Cassino where an inferior in numbers German force held up the Allies for months-how would you design that to be balanced?????????

It all depends on how the designer picks the battles, or parts of them, to make a scenario of.
More often than not the attacking side did not have overwhelming numbers when one looks closer: a good example is the Canadians who where always understrength in Holland or the Germans attacking the southflank of the Bulge; VG divisions only having 2 Batallions per Regiment (Where US Rgts had 3 and more attached units) and with quite a few Regiments held in reserve they didn't have that superiority in numbers I always thought they had. The same goes for Holland in 1940. I always thought that the Germans attacked the Grebbeberg with superior numbers, but when I put the historical oobs on the map it showed that it was the Dutch who had more men in the field, which was how it was although some Dutch are still reluctant to acknowledge that fact.
