Point Values

[Mike Abberton]

Here we agree entirely (almost). I would have added a new truck unit for use in future scenarios without affecting old ones. I do disagree with your choice of the word "rarity". I think that from the very beginning "value" was the measure of VPs, and that value was more complex than simple "combat values" in that it took into consideration supply from HQs, leadership bonuses, transport capability, mobility, etc.

It seems to me that the next iteration of the CS game (assuming there is one other than tweaking the current JTCS) will have to seriously contemplate abandoning the old scenarios and just come up with a new consolidated plan to edal with issues like this. As cool as some of the new features are (and as incomprehensible as some of the others are), they can really stretch the core game mechanics past the breaking point when trying to apply them to all the old scenarios. When we have to have 6 or 7 different German 251/1 HTs to match 4 eras and 3 games (EFII, WF, and JTCS) worth of scenario development, it might be time to take the next step (or quit while we are still ahead).

Just my thoughts.
