Mirror match disparities

[FLG]

If this is the RedStar match, I have the same situation. And, in fact, these games are played with programmed weather. Unfortunately, programmed weather is not checked until the midnight turn -- not at scenario start. So you will end up with whatever the designer set, but it will be properly reset at midnight.

Programmed weather uses a percentage for the 5 different weather types plus a chance of storm. So unless the designers sets the percentages to 0 or 100 in both type and weather slots there is always variability in the weather experienced.

For the example I gave, the appropriate weather data is

21 11 1942 0 0 0 75 25 2 4 10
22 11 1942 0 0 0 25 75 2 5 10

The chance of storm on either day is 1 in 10. So there is only a 1 in 100 chance of getting a storm on both days. I was unlucky yes but it also made the scenario unplayable.

In a grand campaign this probably wouldn't have been too significant but in a short scenario it was a killer. Hence my argument that short scenarios, where one player starts off with a major loss and requires rapid movement and manouver to gain the victory points to win or even draw, those scenarios should use specially tailored weather files to remove the worst of the weather on those days
