Engineers

[Crossroads]

BTW... I just learned that Clark developed an air transportable tractor / dozer in the early 1940's - click HERE.

A possible new unit for proposed road clearing engineers?

Course... if you start thinking about the number of dozers and time needed to clear a 250 meter area for a roadway... but than that "scale" thingy raises it's ugly head again? :chin:

Good one KK! Yes, that would be a heck of a unit to add to OOB Maybe it could be parachuted?

And I am certainly fine discussing scale when discussing units, as we are doing just now. And you certainly make a valid point.

But how dense is the forest? And would we be fine with just one narrow track through the hex, from one hex side to another? In a non-dense forest, clearing a way to halftracks would be actually doable within the scenario?

As for the scale thing, I was merely making a humble wish that the discussion as what is the scale the engine has should be discussed - in a thread that is discussing scale of the engine. :soap: Discussion police - To Serve And To Protect :whis:

Sorry, discussion police are not needed. :chin:
Scale is very important when adding new units. Here is where scale can be discussed so that new units fit the scale?

How about designers simply respecting game scale. There are plenty of other scales in Tiller game designs that they can mess with?

Except for condescending comment. :smoke:
No one is flooding anything. Only making comments to the flood of "un-purest" comments.
It just seems like a lot. ;)

The developers should be asking themselves the "scale" question every time there is something added to the game. It is only common sense? Why not here too?

Policing, Scale - re my comment to KK

Purists - I never said being purist is a bad thing. Me, I only eat vanilla ice cream :smoke:

Developers should be asking the scale thing to themselves. Agreed. But we obviously need a scale disclaimer though, in order to not have the same conversation every time. It is getting boring and repetitive.

This 10 turn scenario represents an hour of fighting at ...

This 20 turn scenario represents the afternoon of fighting at ...

This 30 turn scenario represent the fighting that took place between 13th and 14th of...

I can see myself playing all those three scenarios, should they otherwise be interesting and fun to play. But that's just me of course. As for the 250m thing, that is rarely discussed but the island example is a good one as why one would play with that aspect of the scale as well.
