CS Game Scale - Manual Style

[Kool Kat]

I can't believe all this crap!

The exchange of ideas and thoughts on a forum thread?

It's a game, designed, but with all sorts of interpretations by all sorts of players.

The "original debate" centered around the following:

"Each "hex" represents 250 meters."

"Turns are equivalent to approximately 6 minutes of real time."

Ed, Erik and others referenced the CS manual and Talonsoft designers' comments as the sources for the above points. But other players don't cite information sources, but choose to interpretate game scale and turn time differently based on their feelings?

When I play a game, I might check how far a unit is going to move, what it's range is etc., and voila! - That's what the game does.

All unit movement and fire range are based on a game's scale. CS is a tactical game in which each hex represents 250 meters and turns are equivalent to approximately 6 minutes of real time.

Some of these posts makes me think some guys shouldn't be playing games, they should be doing the real thing, maybe be President of the USA and decide once and for all what the defining rules are?

As with any exchange of ideas and thoughts, is it not good debate practice to weigh in with evidence and information that supports your position? :chin:

I have no agenda in all this other than to try and suggest a few people are overriding others thoughts, ideas, contradicting them with 'slide-rule' comments to disprove their' thoughts and destroying what, a few years back, was a great site.

I disagree with your assertion that a few players are trying to "override" others thoughts..." Everyone may post their opinions, ideas and thoughts in this forum? Should not players who post their comments and defend them vigorously, not expect the same from others? Isn't that the idea behind forums?

Now one becomes less and less interested in bothering to enter a post and give a point of view. This site is getting debilitated by a few people.

I am sorry you feel this way. Just because a player states an opinion on a subject does not guarantee that others will agree with him? Again, the nature of that debate exercise.

I bought this game and nothing anyone says will detract from the enjoyment I get from it. That's based on 'MY' interpretation of the game, cos I paid for it.

Nobody is trying to detract from your enjoyment of the game? Every player hopefully enjoys the game in his own way.

I don't need to come in here, trying to be a part of the community, only to see others' comments dismissed by quoting 'The Manual' - the manual was written ages ago, everything has a learning curve in life, hopefully, some in here will start 'learning' as well?

Again, posting your opinion to the forums does not guarantee that others will agree with it? Should not all players who post be allowed to support their arguments with referenced evidence? AND defend their positions as vigorously as others?
