Questionnaire for all WF players

[Herr Straße Laufer]

West Front Scenario Questionnaire


Scenario designers might create more desirable and higher quality products if they knew what most players desired. This is a survey to find out what characteristics players desire the most in scenario design.

Size
1. One Division or smaller (though I lean toward smaller Brigade or higher)

2. Any size that fits the scenario

3. 12 to 25

Theatre and Operation Type

4. Which theatre do you most prefer?
North Africa early and later and East Africa
Normandy and Northern France & France '40
Ardennes - both '40 & '44
Italy
Germany
Netherlands and northern Belgium and Norway
I guess I prefer a balanced game regardless of where, or when, it is fought.

5. Depends on the scenario.

6. Any and all

Weapon and Unit Preferences

7. Really does not matter much. Anything that fits a scenario.

8. *see answer for #7

9. *see answer for #7

10. * see answer for #7

11. No

Historical Situations

12. Balance is the key when playing by e-mail.
First, Rather have playable and balanced scenarios that are less historical (or close to historical). Than an historical scenario that is unplayable from one side.
Second, Prefer hypothetical scenarios that explore alternative outcomes from historical (as long as they are not hysterical). Don't put Tiger II's and JagdPanthers on the Eastern front in July '43 and call it a Kursk scenario.Overall wouldn't the winner gaining a non-historical result already be creating a non-historical outcome?


13. All depends on the scenario design.

This could also apply to EF.PS The above was suggested by David Galster not me.

Thanks to both. This should be thought provoking discussion and aid to any WF scenario designer.
