I have taken offence to be criticised by someone who clearly has no idea what he is talking about. I recall also that years ago it was deemed acceptable for boot campers to play as testers. No thank you.
That said, it is clear that new management is working hard to get H2H right, and I congratulate Mike for what he has achieved. The major problem, perhaps insoluble, is testing of big and long scens. One of the great advances for our old game is the effect of increasing computer power..once a BN/Bde size game, we can now do Army groups. And some huge maps..... I am slowly working on a Gazala map with 320000 hexes to fill. About 140k to go.
How does one test such a game when (if?) it's finished?
Enough of the ramblings. I just posted a little Korea scen in H2H. Night, the Greek battalion holding a hill against a PLA regiment.
I had an idea in mind to make individual scenarios for the first few days of the British and Canadian Normandy landings and paratroop drops and then combine them into one huge scenario (for the maps at least). I made Hell's Corner 5 years ago and that was as far as I got. Not sure who would have had time to play the scenario if I had actually managed to do it. Good luck with the Gazala map - it will be I'm sure a thing of beauty - I may need to get myself into an open prison to find the time to play the scenario though.
