Scenario Testing

[Herr Straße Laufer]

Guys, I was writing about the H2H area.
Why let scenarios languish, if the designer does not support them?

If the designer wants to bypass the H2H area and upload them to the scenario dBASE they have that option? :chin:

Curt, if you scroll through the EFII and WF scenario list, when selecting a game to play from the version 1.04 (or Gold or original Talonsoft), you will see Doug Bevard's name. He wrote really cool and unique scenarios that often were balanced, when listed as H2H. Not too many clunkers there. :)

Rod, I've had better days. :smoke: But, I'm not complaining.
I was only writing about scenarios that sit in the H2H section. If they are small, untested, and unsupported why not just purge them "from the H2H testing" area, after a set amount of time?
I would give the larger ones more time because they take more time. Unless the designer is not involved.
Seems that Foul has a list of those that are being played and by whom?

The largest problem with the H2H area is in communication. If scenarios are "dumped" there and expected to be tested but, they do not draw "flies", why should they take up slots?
My idea on purging was from the thought that scenarios were uploaded to "H2H" without being supported and/or promoted by the designer.
Early on I thought the H2H area was autonimous and that the head of H2H would be there to shephard or purge the designs. After my experience with mwest and testing I see how it works. I think designer involvement and communication is key.

On a side note, I feel the scenario dBASE needs some cleaning up. There are more "clunkers" that will never get played or are so unbalanced (and some silly) that they should be removed. If not removed they should be stored in another area, so that any other player with an interest could modify and update the scenario so that it could be played H2H or versus the computer. And, listed that way?

I'm honestly not being sly here. I just had "the light go on" and now see the benefit of the H2H testing area.
