RE: Point Values
Jason & Slawek,

I completely understand your points, and Jason, I thought my suggestion on what to do was made clear before. To clarify once again; I understand that a plain Jane Russian infantry unit and German infantry unit of the same year (whatever year) are the same point cost now, but have greatly differing abilities, firepower being the main one.

I see an issue with that. If no one else does, then fine, leave it alone. Having designed many game scenarios myself in other game systems, I fully understand the difficulty in creating a "balanced" scenario, but I believe there is a market out there that wants to be able to "build " their own army for a particular time period, create or have a randomly created map, and go at it with "X" points per side. This is quite common in miniature based games for various periods, and I feel that such a capability would increase market share for CS.

To create a point system is not rocket science but requires that one have all the variables and data that affects play. Then it is a simple matter to assign initial values to the variables, and then a lot of playtesting.

Me, I love the game. Sure, I have issues with certain aspects in the game, particularly with the seemingly bias in favor of German forces and equipment, but as long as the scenario is good, and these factors taken into account in the OB, I'll play.

Many of the scenarios are outstanding! There is no question that the designer went to great lengths to create a fair and challenging game. A few of the scenarios have me scratching my head thinking the designer did one OB, then got drunk, and did the other side's OB.

So, that being said, time for a cold beer!

cheers

- Greg
