Campaign System

[Mad Russian]

All games of this type run the risk of one side winning early in the battle or campaign.

The very large issue that arose during playtesting of Op CM is that we strive to make CM battles balanced in everything we do. In actual warfare the generals are striving for the exact opposite of that. They are trying to get a situation that very much has the odds in their favor. This doesn't make for FUN CM games to be played out for one side.

That is the point of CM. Each player makes decisions hoping that they will affect the balance of the game. Battles and Campaigns have victory conditions and a player/team can always resign. If all things taken into account each side starts with the ability to meet the victory conditions and like the battle or campaign being played then there should be no problem if one side loses.

Above all CM should be fun for both sides win or lose (preferably win).

What I'm saying is that if you do a campaign of sorts other than QB's with any kind of high level operational military actions the commanders directing those units are going to try their best to make them VERY UNBALANCED! In real warfare you don't win fair fights! You don't even fight them if you can avoid it. Here in CM we strive for that balanced fight.

I'm still looking to see what can be done the Op CM concept I don't think is it.

Maybe Bootie and I can adapt it somehow.

Good Hunting.
