Change of Personnel in the H2H Section

[Mr Grumpy]

I enjoy playing a "test" scenario against the designer.

We jointly critique the game as we proceed through it.

If I make a major error in tactic or strategy, it is obvious to the designer and taken into consideration when evaluating the balance.

I realize that the designer may not want to play his scenario versus 20 different people, but I do believe he should be involved in a number of those tests.

I've played scenario's rated slightly pro Axis by the designer while others rated it moderate to significantly pro Allies? What's with this?

I usually look at player names and accept the opinions of the better players.

Just some observations.

Good points Pat, although it might seem strange for the designer to be involved in the testing process we have actually found that it really can help the designer to fully understand the testers feedback from the designers tests and any others running on his scenario and it is something i encourage.

Some designers test their scenarios but don't submit a report as they feel (for them) that is not appropriate, again i have no problem with that either.
