Balancing a Scenario

[RADO]

If I undestand correctly, a strength point gives "X" victory points in the game, regardless of what type it is. So if you lose a SP of PZ VIb's, you get the same VP's as if you lost a SP of T-26's.

If that is not correct then I am even more confused than usual!

:)

No, that is not correct.

Each platoon has a different Victory Point value per SP.

For example:

M3A1 Stuarts are worth 3 Victory Points per SP.
M4A2 Shermans are worth 5 Victory Points per SP.
M4A3E8 Shermans are worth 6 Victory Points per SP.

I feel so much better now. That's the information I was looking for and I'm glad I was wrong. Is this information in the unit parameter data in the game? If so, there's where I need to go.

As always Jason, you are a fountain of information.

Thanks!

Rado, just be careful when using "points" as a form of balance. It worked in the early version of Steel Panthers. It may not work in CS.
A T-34/43 is worth "6" points. A Tiger I is "7".

You can also click "F2" when highlighting a unit and it will give you the point value of the unit.

Would you rather have a company of Tiger I's or company of T-34/43's? They are only "3" points apart? :chin:

Well, if a T34 is six points and a Tiger I seven then I'd say the VP system is not very detailed, IMHO. It does however give one a very rudimentary tool for a starting point.
