RE: Legacy Scenarios and Transport Values
Time I have. Retired, not a gardener, prefer to allow the fish to live in peace, have no interest in vintage machinery. Recently got a good price for my extensive collection of 14th Century English pornography, so that obsession is out of the way...but I do miss it! And I don't play many CS actual games these days.
I am a latecomer to scen design, having frigged around for years with silly hypothetical crap. I am interested in the desert, andthe peripherals such as Abyssinia and Japan/Russia. I try and do good history,and in my limited way am able to make some use of modern mapping technology available where I sit right now. I prefer big, long battles at formation level. I have about six under development. No good at the smaller battles which dominated the early days.
My time is my own. The best is the enemy of the good. I take Huib's point about the Rhineland. But it seems to me that someone needs to "modernise" the old classics, and the truck value thing provides a good spark. I do make the assumption that the early stock designers went to some effort to get the map and the history right. I know very well also that there is a lot of crap in the DB.
What would be better value to me, gents, is to suggest which of the legacy stuff is better off leaving to wither on the vine, and which should be touched up. I use WF "Test of Courage" as an example. Well reported subjectively ...lots of "Well balanced" comments..... but plays around 4:1
Ed,you wrote "Normally things sort themselves out. Dead weight is only a problem if someone has OCD." It's early here...0610....and still on my first cuppa, but I have no idea what you mean.
