If you test this way don't test at all

[Stryker]

1. Campaign Series is a GAME not a simulation so by definition you cannot have a historically accurate scenario past the first move, so after that, what's the point? surely to make the "game" interesting to the player, no?
2. If you design a historically accurate scenario, why would you need it play tested, why would you care if it was balanced or interesting for the gamer? so why ask? Get a critique from someone else who knows the minutia of the battle or is willing to study it. Don't ask a gamer and don't release it for general play.
3. If you are designing a scenario to be interesting for the gamer, expect him to say when the Axis side needs Marders or some armour to make it playable... whether or not they were actually there is irrelevant as you can only ever design a representation of a battle or event anyway.. or don't design battles for general release where the accurate OOB is unplayable in a game... just design them for yourself... then there's no offence taken on any side.
4. If someone has taken the time to help you by playtesting, but is not doing the job you would like, then a private email thanking them for their time but stating that you do not require any more assistance is far more acceptable than a public rant on the message board which may put off others who may potentially have helped.

Thanks for listening :soap:
