People should be aware how difficult it is to judge balance, yet we all seem to jump to conclusions based on our own limited experience. Tell a designer who is right with the example below. Still it is interesting that the people write down their experiences and it helps to know that sometimes we don't know.

Charlie-66 3
Feldgeneral Hoth 3 Nice scenario. Tough for Americans.
Big Dawg 3
Digger 3 Very tough for the German attacker
Adolf Vahringer 2 Very nice map as usual. The Axis had a major victory after capturing just one of the 4 VP's. By the time they captured another, the game was out of reach for the Ami's. Ended up calling the game a draw.
Hawk Kriegsman 1 excellent map, accurate OOB and a no chance for the German player.

Hello, Huib

First thing we should be aware of is that Rating star system says not only about balance of the game. That was stated clearly in the "old" system. Stars are given for ones perception how the scenario is balanced, how entertaining and last but not least OOB and map.

Definitely for those who put enjoyment first rankings may be lower, for those who like very accurate maps and OOBs the ranks may be higher and vice versa depending on the scenario.

So it may be not very accurate trying to judge just balance on those rankings.

Going back to that particular scenario you must remember that I really like infantry battles, while other may not

Best regards
